Wheel of Knowledge

Did you know... "Going to Coltzan's Shrine exactly 55 seconds past the minute gets you a Dubloon!"

Is there a place on the PPT site that has all the secrets that it gives out? I can't ever find anything!

Ever since the Search Engine was removed, I've been having trouble finding stuff.

But yes, there is a section named Neo Secrets under the Navagation Bar if you look carefully.

Hmm... I didn't get anything on 55 seconds past the minute... -_-

Does it always work, or is there a random chance of sucess?

I think it depends on the ping...or something to that effect. I have no idea what that means though...

That does not work frequently. I have also gotten dubloons on other times.

I've tried that on various occassions. Heck, I even used a stopwatch. No luck. I don't think it really works. I think that TNT used to have something like that, but people were abusing it somehow. Using bots to visit the shrine at the exact time or something like that.

I thought they made this all random now?

Yeah. . . I've tried it numerous times and never got a dubloon.

Ping (roundtrip time) is the time it takes for your computer to communicate to the neopets server, and for it to communicate back (without any sort of "pages" involved). Works like sonar -- you ping (and start stopwatch), a neopets server responds, you wait untill you get the response, and stop the stopwatch. A high roundtrip-time can affect when your request for the Coltzan's page gets there (and therefore make you miss the 55th second).

Normally, ping times are within 0.2 seconds (from here, it's roughtly 150ms, but I'm over the ocean).

I tried one of the WoK hints for Sutek's Tomb, and it didn't seem to work, either. Of course, no one ever said it was the Wheel of CORRECT Knowledge....

Both of the Sutek's Tomb hints work well. You just have to type them in pretty fast, at an even pace.

"pyramibread" for a hint at what move is available
"plzsutekcanihavemoretime" for an extra 30sec!

I almost never bother with the second one, but pyramibread is very handy. Good luck!
