The good news and the bad news.....

Bad news first (except for 4 of you), let's get this out of the way:  all 4 keys from this round (6 altogether today) are spoken for.  We had four winners of 1 key each tonight.  They were without further ado:

#7 - Branabus
#28 - Reiny
#45 - Hodski
#60 - Charlez

Congratulations to all 4 key winners tonight.  If you were before email #60 we responded with which # you came in at.

The good news is that we are going to continue our free-key-every-day prize for July (at least).  We'll do this same numbered-email format mostly which seems to give everyone a chance who is checking in to the sheet every so often (elaborate puzzles that I put 20 minutes into creating that are promptly solved by you brainiacs in 5 are on hold).

Also, we still have 4 more Robot Chicken hat codes to give away, 2 each day for the next 2 days.  Keep looking for that chicken!  Details here and here.

  4. Wow you are actually an awesome person. You keep extending the contest. I was thinking that you may do that, but I didn't think you actually would.

    1. Thanks! We like to give a little back. I don't trade for profit anymore and nor does at least one of my pricers. Between us we try to keep the free key vault stocked.

    2. Actually, I wanted to say for a while, you are awesome just for making the spreadsheet, which I have found to be invaluable. If I had known about it earlier, I could have avoided being scammed in the past, but now I that I know about it, I always have something to fall back on.

      Giving away keys is just adding to your awesomeness.

  6. 1. What specifically do you want to understand?

    2. We email back everyone during each round with what # they were, if they were under the winning #. For example, in this contest we sent 60 emails, but not to #61. See?

  8. I had been wondering for a while how much time you were putting into making the puzzles and such. I was wondering if you had created a whole monthly schedule in advance, or were doing it day by day.

    I used to create puzzles, but they took me like a hour, and then as you said would be solved in like 5 minutes.

    1. Yeah, I like that people enjoy doing them but as you probably know you have to create something that is "bulletproof" so anyone can understand it. Then you take the time to do that but also make it complex, and someone solves it in a few minutes! It's like some of you are inside my brain!

      There is no schedule in advance, it's day-to-day.
