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 puzzlesÂ…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 & KoOne23 10.speed4mee 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! Be on the look out for more puzzles!!
Finally have a minute to check in. The old adage you snooze you lose is alive and rampant. of course at 4 in the morning(central time no sane person should be awake anyway (take it as a hint staulcub) So I did catch the new puzzle around noon today and decided to see if I could solve it. I took me a little longer than staulcub (I probably only had the first word in 5 minutes) but I did eventually figure it out without cheating even. So spoiler for those of you who care... HEART - (picture of) ART - (musical note) E = H, OVEN - (sounds like hen) N = OVE, + (pirate growling) R; all this gets you is HOVER. +BOARD(and easy one) = HOVERBOARD; than what I consider the tough stuff. took me a while figure it was suppose to be 'ING' but couldn't put it together was thinking RING/BELL/SOUND but finally came up with DING - (musical note) D leads us to HOVERBOARDING; then with a little help from my daughter got past small/tiny...to come up with little wizard and then cut that down to size and got WIZ so (sounds like WIZ) IS; HOVERBOARDINGIS The last part had me scratching my head, was thinking sounds like oar so for/more... but couldn't come up with what the paper represented. It finally cliked that the paper was a SUM so (sounds like SUM) well the only word that would fit this is AWESOME, so figured (sounds like OAR) AWE and (sounds like SUM) SOME and the final answer is HOVERBOARDINGISAWESOME very nice and fast work staulcub, many kudos for solving it so fast. I suppose if I was to guess it probably took me 1/2 to 1 hour to actually figure it out, but then again it was in little pieces that I had time to think about it. I really have to ask what kind of hours you keep, besides the fact that it seems like 24/7. You do live in New York right? I believe that is only 1 hour difference from Minnesota? So 4 in the morning is like 5 in the morning for you, still very early if you ask me. So again congrats, it seems like you solve two then I solve 1. Its my turn again so play fair!!!
Have you played it? Just wondering how different it is from Turkey Blast Reloaded. I suppose another puzzle will come out around 4am for me again. My txt notice stopped working for the last one. Darn hotmail anyway. I'm trying something different to see if it works. If it does it may wake me up to try the next puzzle. (well my 1st new automation attempt didn't work, but will see if this kicks it off with better results. And yes I'm still up but who knows for how long.)
Dang I think I found another flaw in my system...but here's to trying again. I suppose the next puzzle will have something to do with Turkey Blast Christmas.
Maybe I'm not in good shape to try a puzzle. Since I keep doing stupid things. Maybe I should get a stand in or a ringer perchance. Hey staulcub would you be my stand in ringer?!
Just jumping in to say Hi. You guys have been solving so quickly that it's probably all I'll get a chance to say before this one is solved

ahhhh, that tube is "BEND" That was throwing me for a loop. I knew I had to remove the "B" from something, so I assumed the "HE" was "BOY" but TOY IS NIGH made no sense. Well, congrats staulcub. I do believe the end is nigh!
Thanks! I almost slept through that one. I was lucky that I set an alarm for 3AM, so it took me about 25 minutes to solve it.
