Or people who completed it five minutes after the correct spell was found
Hm.. that would be a tad bit unfair, because of time differences, while it may have been found in the afternoon in america, Uk players were sleeping so could only do it in the morning, so they had to complete it 5 whole hours later at the least rather than just 5 mins, now what a bummer that is
The clue was out for quite a while before someone found the correct spell. If there was a way to deduce it (which I'm hoping there was, though I never figured it out), anyone had a chance of being first. That being said, since people plastered the answer on the boards and other forums, many people got it right without actually doing the work (including myself). So I think there is something to be said for not giving extra points to the gads of people who just happened to be on-line when someone else figured it out. But for the 1-5 people who figured it out for themselves at about the same time, I think they
should get something extra over the rest of us. TNT can probably figure out based on the frequency of how many people finished the plot at a given time who got the answer on their own and who piggybacked.
