1 Gold, 29 Silver and 70 Wood talismans

I think that's what I said, but as I typed it in just now, I'm not sure I didn't make a typo. But that's what I meant to say. I think it's wrong. I think as someone said before, we need to actually contact an 'antiquities dealer', "buY tHe taLismanS" and then contact someone thought of as a Grand Master (Simon?)

Good luck everyone. I'll be watching.

But as the number clues say: Find the riddle (check), solve the riddle, claim your reward. I think it's a matter of providing the correct answer.

latest clue

like in a string the answer waits


my answer was
1-29-70

Well this is totally off the wall - but here is a member GrandMaster he has only posted once in introductions on 7-30-05 and his last date active was 1-1-1970 at 1am. The 1-1-1970 date is what has me going hmmmmm.

GrandMaster

None of that is what the numbers are but maybe there is something in his post or info?? My head hurts I'm almost glad I am out of the contest

Here is 012970 in binary:

001100000011000100110010001110010011011100110000

0 is the key as in 1's and 0's

or are we to drop the 0's

you might be on to something.
according to the profile there was only 1 posting by Grandmaster and that was on 7/30.When searching for his post, is shows that his post was only on the introductions thread.
after going through that thread, there is a jump in postings to that thread.
The last post is on 7/5 and then it goes to 8/5 basically there is a whole month missing.

I hear that!

I just went to GrandMasters Profile and now this shows as last active:
Last active: 31-12-1969 at 11:00 PM

Since the numbers of talismans are 1, 29 and 70, I'm thinking the answer might be 29-1-1970 OR 1-29-1970

"like in a string the answer waits"

Doesn't 31-12-1969 at 11:00 PM appear as their last logged in date if they have registered but never posted?

Oh and Street Scholar i tried zEro

The 1-1-1970 date is what has me going hmmmmm.

12:00 a.m. January 1, 1970 is the universal time synchronization for all computers, if I'm not mistaken.

All computer time reference since then has been in milliseconds since that time.

So everyone who was playing has already guessed? Is that right?

I guessed, but I can't quit playing!

I'm sure there are those who are playing who haven't posted to these threads...

Ahh no, not here, and not yet. I am reserving my guess till I am sure...lol, and by then it will probably be too late...

Hmmm... staff getting a bit anxious to open the new forum?!


*we want to see the culmination of our efforts come to fruition*
Damnit!?



All in good fun folks!

It sure would be fun if no one enters the correct answer
I wonder what will happen then...

Skunk Works has nothing to do with this game. Springer said so himself.

I haven't guess yet. Thanks for those who have tried answers and reported what they tried.

I believe 1/29/70 is only part of the riddle based on the clue _/_.

Here is one of the latest..

the correct order is the order

i havent put my answer in yet...i had thoughts of it maybe being but 12/20/2012 like in "1"'s post in the link i provided before, but that doesnt work out with the 100 euros/100 talismans thing..
