Just wanted to mention a new site.
http://www.TreasureQuestSociety.com
They are hosting a Clue solving competition. You can win half of all the entry fees! It's codes, riddles, anagrams etc. but I thought many of you have a good shot at it! looks fun anyway.
I'm posting the first clue you get before the competition starts (May15th) You can pre-register and download all 10 clues on the start day- see the site.
A treasure of great wealth is yours to keep, if you are the first to complete. A Treasure Hunt Competition is now underway. Below is the key if you want to play. To solve the puzzle takes both heart and skill, so try it now if you have the will.

That would mean there is an entry fee, wouldn't it?

Yeah, you're right. Guest it would'nt be much of a prize otherwise. It's a $10. Entry fee.

So the site is commercial, and this is spam.

Commercial, yes, but since the author a) posted only once, b) about an actual puzzle-solving site, c) in an appropriate forum, and d) appears to be willing to respond to posts (rather than the usual spam "flyby"), I'm not overly inclined to delete it. We'll see if towr has a different opinion.

If I was inclined to delete it, there's a good chance most people would never have seen it
As for the site itself, an inherent problem is that you can't stop group-forming. So any individual is likely at a disadvantage in the quest for gold.
And I wouldn't be half surprised if some entrants come to this forum bearing clues hoping we'll help solve it, and win them money.

And being the selfless people that we are, we'd probably help them, eh ?

Thanks for not deleting my post. I was away with a family health issue.
Yes you are right people can form groups or use whatever resources to win. Not much you can do about that I guess. But it's still fun and you may be the one that gets past that one stumper to win.
Here's another riddle: (from an old game)
A horse owner, an airplane maker, a pig and a town share this thing.
And if you know, some happiness will bring.
For this riddle is number eight and there's treasure at stake.
Now if you happen to find this town, find two birds crossing a street.
But figuring out which one will be no Minor feat.
Here's a little gift from heaven - start to look around 32127

You can only believe i what you can prove, and since you have nothing proven to cmpare to, you can believe in nothing.
I have ~50 posts to hack a "R" into a "D". Which one?
