Okay... you guys obviously need a bit more of a challenge! So... Who wants to do a puzzle worth 3 eligibility points?
Rank update! Okay... just for fun, I processed all of the data and posts on this thread to see where everyone stands (rank-wise) in the running for the Grand Prize... So far (taking into account who has solved the most, who has helped the most, who has tried the hardest, who has the best manners, who has accumulated the most eligibility points, who has been given the most eligibility points, who has really tried, who has dropped the most hints, who has given it their all despite chasing red herrings and going off on wild goose chases, who has finally understood the hints, who has used both sides of their brain to the fullest, who has stepped in at the last second to solve the puzzle, who has taken the wildest guesses, who has come up with the most amazing deciphering ideas, who has blown the most gaskets, who has lost the most sleep, who has shown the most devotion to deciphering, who was the fastest at solving the puzzles, who has solved the most puzzles in a row, who has spoon-fed the answer to other players, who has been spoon-fed the answer by other players, who has raced in at the last second and used the answer that someone had just provided without realising that they had just provided it, who has waited for everyone to go to sleep in order to solve the puzzles etc) this is the updated top 10 list of names of who currently has the best chance of winning the grand prize of a Parrot AR. Drone (a cool hover toy!!!) 1. staulcub 2. pajo_ojap 3. cloudcastles 4. cjsbug 5. jwcasser 6. hiurdin 7. Daldaris 8. da shiz wiz 19 9. warcrack 10.KoOne23 Note: This list may change depending on how the rest of the contest continues... As you can see (if you look through this thread)... we've had quite a shuffle of names as we've progressed through this contest! So you never know! You've got to be in it for a chance at the Grand Prize! So get in there! If your name hasn't made the list - you need to try harder (you may just be in position 11)! Extra note: You don't need to actually solve the puzzles in order to be eligible... you may earn eligibility by just being helpful in the thread! Good luck everyone!

aah the wonders of a hot bath, gets the creative juices flowing quite well. Its funny how when you take a step back from a problem and just mull over it how solutions can come to you. thanks for the congrats guys! The way it looks and because I like round even numbers, I'm guessing there are 8 puzzles left. That would make it an even 60. So it is still pretty open. I figure there are 5 of us left in the hunt, but then again knowing the rules can be changed at anytime, I wouldn't count anyone out. Well, it's back to a little more studing before I call it a nite. Later.
