Welcome to the Prize Box. A fun and challenging way to earn EP!
The goal of the game is to be the first person to correctly answer my riddles and questions. The first person to answer correctly will be allowed a go at the Prize Box.
Rules:
You are given two weeks to find the answer. This can be done in a variety of ways – thinking for hours on end, searching the internet, torture, and hostage situations are all deemed acceptable.
If an answer is not provided in the two week period then the Riddle or Question will be replaced with another. The question will return to my stock pile for possible future use.
When you post an answer it is to be in this format:
Answer:
Blah blah blah..
So if I asked "What color is the sky?" You would post the word Answer followed by a colon and on the next line you would post the answer in bold. Post your answers in this thread.
Answers not in this format will be ignored.
You are give three chances to answer each Riddle or Question. When a new riddle or question is asked you go back to three. Unused guesses do not carry over.
Any post with an Answer in it that has been edited by the poster will not be allowed to win but will count towards your three guesses. You are free to edit you normal posts but if you have an answer post do not edit it. Read over any answer carefully before posting.
People who answer correctly will be given a chance to win EP from the Prize Box. The Prize Box will be further explained at the end of this post.
If you get an answer right, you must set out two questions. This is to keep the people who are always on from winning a bunch. But feel free to help your friends. You can leave as cryptic, or obvious, hints as you like.
Have fun!! Feel free to post thoughts on the riddle and just think out loud.
I believe that these rules cover the bases. If an issue comes up I will make an executive decision at the time and then post the new rule here. On to the Prize Box!
I’ll bet your really starting to wonder about it. Well here it is:
When someone answers correctly they get to pick one of the boxes. They cannot change their answer and can not trade boxes. Once they have picked I will reveal what they have won. I have a master sheet to tell me what each box contains.
Now to tell you about the Prizes. Hidden in twenty of the boxes is 10 EP, ten contain 50 EP, eight contain 100 EP, five contain 250 EP, four contain 500 EP, two contain 750, and one grand prize box contains 1,000 EP.
If you have any questions feel free to ask and if I have forgotten anything I will bring light to it immediately.
First Riddle/Question:
Eight and five, last name and given,
We are one six six six even.
The first in cow, the last in oxen,
Three in damsel, three in vixen.
Have at!
