PUZZLE
Note: the golden ticket puzzles are much more time-consuming
and difficult than the clues in the actual game. We made
them that way because you have more time to solve them,
and because the reward for solving them is knowledge of
the actual golden ticket number in your division!
The answer to each puzzle will be to an integer between
1 and 350. The names of solvers who email
us the correct number and a one sentence explanation
of how they solved the puzzle will be listed on this page,
updated daily. We will not reply to your emails, we
will not accept guesses without an explanation of the solution,
and we will not confirm your solutions (except to print
your name on this page). No off-line hints will
be given.
Please put "golden ticket solution" and the division
(beginner, regular or masters) in the subject header of
your email. If your name is not inferrable from
your email address, please also indicate your name in the
body of your message.
You do not have to be a registered treasure hunter to solve
the puzzles, and you may submit the solutions for all three
divisions. On game day, however, you will only
be able to request the golden ticket for the division in
whcih you are actually playing.
A final word: the contest for the gold coin is an individual
competition. While you are free to co-solve with friends
or teammates, or give puzzle answers away, keep in mind
that on game day only one of you can claim the golden ticket
and earn the right to compete for the gold coin, so in a
very real sense, your teammates and friends are also your
competition. That said, the Masters division
was designed for team-solving, so you might want to enter
into a bargain to split the value of the coin if you all
work together to solve the Masters puzzle!
