Has anybody else been doing these quests for the past however long it’s been? I just finished the final quest and am now patiently waiting for my big plasma T.V. to drop through the letterbox, should be here any time now…
Oh totally. I freaked out Google because I kept refreshing my homepage starting at 12:59 today so I could get the last puzzle as quick as possible. I am a n3rd!!
I do wish they’d take that big honkin’ first prize and split it up into a bunch of smaller prizes. No one needs that much excitement in their lives!!
I totally feel like Ralphie from A Christmas Story waiting for my Secret Decoder Ring (er, “cryptex”) to arrive!
I wasn’t actually aware of any time constraints on completing the puzzle. I thought you would have about a week to finish but fortunately I was at my computer when the puzzle popped up anyway and got it done 10 minutes after it went live. Lots of people on the Google help forums are complaining about not being able to submit in time because of the new bug that loads of people (including me) are suffering from when using personalized Google homepages.
I too wish they would split the prizes up, maybe turn the TV into another 20 phones or something, spread the love.
Have you guys gotten the email from Sony yet? I was taking a nap, but I got up and finished the last puzzle sometime before 2:00. (I’m kinda fuzzy on the details… very tired today) I THINK it said that I ended up in the finalists, but now I’m getting paranoid.
Oh, and for those wondering, I go to school in Ottawa (hence the location) but am a good, dairy-fortified Wisconsin girl. So I get to do the puzzles! Woo!
I haven’t heard anything from Sony yet, i’m sure I got it submitted with no problems just 10 minutes after it came up so I can’t see how I missed the deadline. Maybe I was simply not chosen as a finalist, that would be harsh, i’ve been doing those damn puzzles for ages.
