Help Hannah! [closed][participants please pick up prizes]

[cat1205123]

Welcome to the first (and most likely last) ever Help Hannah contest, based on the Hannah and the Pirate Caves game, hosted by yours truly! This is a contest that will test your wits and knowledge! This is sort of like the Lenny Conundrum. Only better.

Rules

1. PM me to enter. Posting "I'll join!" on the board won't enter you.

2. After you've entered, I will give you a link to the first Help Hannah Puzzle. If you don't have Microsoft Word, mention that to me, because then I'll have to convert it to a friendlier format.

3. All answers will be PMed to me. If you get them all right, I will PM you with the next puzzle. If they're wrong, I'll PM you telling you so. You may try as many times as you like.

4. If you successfully complete the first puzzle (all answers correct), I will give you a link to the second puzzle. And so on for the third.


5. The first person to have completed all three puzzles correctly will win a prize! Everyone who enters will get some sort of reward. (More prize info below.)

6. The contest ends March 1st!
Edit: I'm going to let this run another month.

7. No more entrants after Feb. 28

8. Absolutely NO:

Working with partners.
Giving answers or hints on the board.
Cheating (obviously).
Asking for help from someone.
Posting the puzzle URLs (other than the first one.)

9. I reserve all rights to alter these rules in any way if I see fit...blahblahblah.....

10. New Rule! You CAN use a calculator or the computer to help you find your answers.
Prizes
First place will get a random piece of the lab map and 10,000np!
Second place will get 10 dung items (for the avatar) and 5,000np!
Third place will get 10 random books and 2,500np!
Everyone else will get a snowball...or something. PM or Neomail me with ideas.

xP I thought it said Posting I'll join! on the board will enter you.

All righty then. I've sent out the first puzzles to the 8 entrants so far. If you have any questions (About the rules. Not about the puzzles.), just PM me. I like PM's. I also like neomails.

Also, neomail/PM me if you have ideas for runners-up prizes.

[jabond102]

I'll enter (goes to pm)

[cat1205123]

All righty then! We officially have 10 entered, and one has already dropped out! (Are they really that hard?) Don't forget that this ends the first of March!

[Qanda]

I'm sorry but due to being busy with many other stuff, I'm forced to drop out.

[cat1205123]

Aww...ok. You'll still get the prize for trying though. As soon as I figure out what it's going to be.

*pokes new rule edit*

Edit: Well, no one's submitted the FIRST puzzle answers yet. I'm going to let this run one more month. If no one submits until then, I'm cancelling this and you'll all get a little something. Or, if half of the people entered quit/say they don't get this, I'll also cancel the contest, and you'll all get something. *sigh* Was it really that hard?

Editedit: If no one submits the first puzzle in the next two weeks, I'll start giving clues. (I'm really desperate! )

[cat1205123]

Wonderful! o_0 has completed the first puzzle! Currently, he's the only one to get the second one.

[WIS]

So... hard! >.>

[YesItIsh]

So... hard! >.>

Well...just the first one is hard. >_>

[cat1205123]

Since I have a feeling *cough, cough* that many people think the first one is hard, I'll give ya'll a clue:

7/8 of the letters don't mean anything.

[.:Requiem:.]

I've got all but one part of the first one.
