I may have already posted a link to this, but in case I haven't, here are the Rules for the hunt. On the Facebook page, this is in the "About" section. I wanted to post it here too, to be fair to everyone, in case someone here is not on Facebook. Let me know if you have any questions!
RULES ~ the Lamp With Four Keys Treasure Hunt
(1. Anyone can work on the puzzles, but only verified lamp owners are eligible to receive prizes. Lamp owners are free to collaborate with others and share with others, but they are the only ones who can submit winning entries.. When you submit a correct entry for a prize, you may be asked to provide proof of purchase. (If you've purchased a lamp I probably won't ask for proof of purchase because I already have it.)
(2. There are 5 cash prizes. For each of the 4 keys, there is a $100 cash prize to the first lamp owner to submit the correct key. Then there is a $1000 cash prize for the first lamp owner to submit a correct solution to the final puzzle. Total cash prizes are $1400.
You can still purchase a lamp and join the hunt at any time and be eligible to win the cash prizes, until all prizes are awarded, or until I run out of lamps!
(3. To win a prize, you must send your entry to this email address:
paldixie53@gmail.com
Only this email can be used for entries. . Entries sent to any other email or messaging system will not be considered for evaluation.
Please put "Lamp With Four Keys" in the heading of the email. In the body of the email, put your entry, and next to your entry, explain exactly how you arrived at your solution. To qualify as a winning entry, it must be accompanied by a valid solution method. A correct entry without a solution method will be considered invalid.
If you submit a winning entry and solution method, I will contact you. If your entry is incorrect, I may send a brief one-word reply, such as "no".
If two or more correct entries are submitted, the winner will be determined by the time stamp on the email.
You may enter more than once. There is no limit on how many times you can submit an entry.
(4. If you have any general questions about the lamp or the hunt, you can ask them here on this Facebook page, or on the Mysterious Writings Forum mysteriouswritings.proboards.com/board/171/lamp-keys
Or you can also message me. If I can answer your question, I will answer it. I will try to post all the questions and answers publicly in both places (without your name of course!)
(5. To be fair to all players, if someone contacts me with a possible solution method for anything to do with the hunt , II cannot confirm or deny it, either privately or publicly. I have to be fair to all players. As stated above, you can contact me with general non-solution questions, and I can answer them if possible, publicly. I will publicly post clues and hints that will help people see if they are on the right track or not.
(6. All players (even those who are not the actual owners of the lamp) are free to discuss the hunt on this Facebook page.or on the Mysterious Writing forum mysteriouswritings.proboards.com/board/171/lamp-keys
(7. You can post images of the lamp if they are small partial images. You can also post pictures of the lamp from a distance if it's far enough away that it doesn't show much detail. You can post pictures of the lamp lit up in the dark.
(8.. Do not change anything at all on the lamp itself. I've triple and quadruple-checked everything to make sure there is nothing overlooked, and that no mistakes were made. If you have a question about something that might look like a mistake, ask about it. I am not responsible for any changes anyone accidentally makes to their lamp!
(9. I will post monthly clues on the Facebook page, until all puzzles are solved. There is no definite end date. All prizes will be awarded.
(10.. When a winner is verified for any prize, I will make an announcement on this Facebook page and on public forums.
Good luck!!
