I'm fairly certain that that is a mistake and that it should say "opened". I'm sure Joseph will confirm either way tomorrow.

They also stated Collectors would get 6 entries, but they're not out yet. If they're not out yet they can't be opened for a few people. Some, yes, but not all.

Obviously a tiny bit of clarification is required.

For that matter, why include the Red, Black, Orange, Handmade and the Lime ? People ordered the CE set without any expectation of participating in the competition.

I think Chris and Joe are trying to be inclusive rather than exclusive, a refreshing and novel idea. ;)

I seriously hope so. otherwise this is, excuse the pun...Far to open a lottery.

With the current system.

if person A has solved Blue, Green Bronze they get 3 numbers
if person B has solved Silver, Gold, Orange they also get 3 numbers....
if person C has purchased and not touched Blue, Green Bronze they get 3 numbers...

I'm not so sure that really is fair. In effect what they are saying someone who has worked on the first 3 gets equal chance at a purple to someone who has gone through the murderous Silver/Gold/Orange etc.

That cant be right....

And even worse..someone who has not solved a thing has an equal share! O_O!

This absolutely crushes anyone who has been putting effort into speed solving their mazes,
Heck it crushes anyone who has put in the MANY hours required to solve all mazes they own!

This is something I do not agree with and I also think it has not been well thought through at all.

As for the CE and correct me if I'm wrong - people purchased it knowing they would not be in the competition, unless they purchased non-CE mazes and SOLVED them quickly...

Cheers,

R.

P.S. I'm not just saying this on my behalf but for EVERYONE who has put in the time and effort required to solve such difficult puzzles. As with everything balance and fairness is required.
