 		The Contact! 22nd April
Dear friends,

The people of Perplex City are grateful beyond measure for your patience over
recent months. Our cube retrieval project is now approaching its final phase
and thus I offer you, those who have kept loyalty with us, an early view of
things to come. Some of you may have heard rumours of this development in the
Sentinel newspaper (www.perplexcitysentinel.com) already but the full details
have not been revealed.

In a short while MC, on Earth, will be sending out parcels to thank you for
your patience. My daughter Scarlett (www.thescarlettkite.com) tells me that
you have shown deep interest in us and asked many penetrating questions; I
hope that these small tokens will go some way to slaking your curiosity. Our
Earth resources are sadly limited, so only 333 of these packs can be made
available. As you must already know, we place the highest value upon the
solving of puzzles -- thus, I have prepared a simple riddle. The first
333 people from Earth who correctly solve it will receive the parcel.

I wish you all swift wits and simple solutions.

Sente.

My first's simply a vegetable, delicious, round and green.
My third and fourth are sound asleep, as plainly can be seen.
My fifth is fifty, clear enough for any riddle-setter.
Two of my second on their sides will give my final letter.
Now that my second has my parts, fit them together well
You see me now before your eyes, it's plain for all to tell.

To enter your solution, visit http://www.perplexcity.com/email/ - you will
need your unique code and email addresss as well.

 		I just got it, too.

It's an email from Sente.

[edit: oh, and I've solved it. Should I post the answer, or hoard it so that I can answer at the appointed time? (It's actually ridiculously easy.)]

Apple, Kiwi, grape


It sounds like a LOT of people will be getting it, since only the first 333 will win.

(those are fruits.)

The url he gives us says that it will be updated at 3:45 APril 22. I assume that's London time. what is that EDT? (9:45?)

 		I assume you have to have sent you email address to Sente by signing up at the projectsyzygy site early on. That's about all I've done to give them that info (never emailed the newspaper or Scarlett or anything.)
