Well...i'm not really too familiar with forums...i haven't really spent much time on them before...so i don't really know much about how to post things on here...but it seems that the way i sent it to manu wouldn't really work here.

The ones who solved it on the time period of the contest before it ended deserved the prize they got.

I think it was about 24h to solve it. With such little time its impossible to find a logic and solve it really fast. Most of those who have/claim to have done it took weeks.

That makes sense then. I didn't know the original contest only lasted for such a short time.

It took me about 3 1/2 hours to solve it, but it would be hard to prove that. And anyway, if the contest took place around this time instead, the likely scenario would be that I would miss its announcement completely.

It started [2008-03-25 04:09:01 - Alpha 5] and ended [2008-03-26 04:08:28 - Alpha 5]

Thats 23 hours and 59 minutes

I'm curious, what was the original prize for solving this puzzle?

A drachorn (aka a dragon)

Not everyone got a drachorn. Each winner was asked what they would like as a prize; most picked an exclusive creature, but I know at least Eldrad asked for more VE and VP instead.

Sorry, my bad. Short memory...

%$&¨%#¨&$ Cant believe it....thats why i wasnt being able to solve it..im idiot i was trying to turn all black not all orange....T_T

If its just the cone problem, you can glue it back on with super glue. But if the handle is broken, it needs a new one. Its quite tricky fixing on a new handle, so be careful.

It actually wasn't that hard if you pay attention to what's actually going on with it.[attachment=947:screenshot.jpg]
