Most difficult for me was #5 but finally made it now after I had to go to bed yesterday (Eurozone).

Nice idea, I liked those puzzles back in Matrix Online.

All prizes will be sent once the contest is over on 10/7. (but emails will likely be sent on the 8th and 9th)

Even if you are not in the first 20, you still have a chance to win one of 20 mystery prizes (valued at 25 mill + )

Yeah I was more curious as to whether or not 20 correct answers had been given as of yet.
I can see why you wouldn't want to answer that question though.

The first four were easy but the fifth one is killing my noodle!

And I have looked at everyone's answers and checked to see who has all 5 codes correctly figured out!

The answers are:

1. The four patrons are Ghost Widow, Scirocco, Black Scorpion, and Captain Mako.
2. There are 3 V servers - Victory, Virtue and Vigilance.

3. Issue 17 was called Dark Mirror.

4. The lowbie sewer trial is called Death From Below.

5. Congratulations on correctly solving the PERC puzzles!


Fun Fact: 32 players who entered the contest had all 5 answers correct!




The first 20 players to answer (with all 5 correct) who will each receive 100 million inf are:

@Aiolos @Shade Savage @Yoru-hime @Burning Verto @Sparanda @doctor geist @Zombie Man @Ulysses Dare @Miuramir @EtherFalcon @Chad Gulzow-Man @Samurai Jones @BigMoneyHustla @Inquisitor @LLamaBoy @Llydia @6inch @Dale-Man @7.NomaD @Lord Nubbz @Syldrin Phiryte @Flitze

(*note, several entrants sent their responses within 2 minutes of each other, in fairness I decided to bump 2 players up into the top 20 so that no one was penalized based on a slow email server or other issue)

You can keep my rewards and use them towards the next contest.

It's good enough for me just to know that I qualified, but mostly I just wanna do more puzzles. *_*

Yeah, about that... I'm guessing my global is the one that was invalid. There's no dash in it, just @Chad GulzowMan.

It wouldn't let me put a dash in it when Globals first came out, and by the time I found out they fixed it, I'd already listed my global for an automated tracking service my SG uses and didn't want to go through the hassle of getting one of the operators to fix it manually...

Yours was not the invalid, but if you didn't get yours I can resend or donate it back like you asked. Whichever is fine
