The End-Of-Season Party :: The Aftermath

Well, I’m home.  Finally.  It’s been a fun weekend :)

The party’s over, obviously. Some highlights include:

- Getting horribly lost around London for about 2 hours (…I was navigating.  Shut up.) until we just decided to dump the car on some random street and head for the nearest station.

-  Me arriving late.  Wait, this is supposed to be highlights? Uh.. Moving on then!

- Puzzles.  Hooray!  There were four puzzles hung up on the wall - a maze, in which you had to say which points you pass through [red], a combination (1491625) in which you needed to find the next two numbers [red], a riddle that is transcribed below [yellow], and a phobia match-up thing.

If you eat me, you will die.
It is greater than God, yet more evil than the Devil.
The rich need it, the poor have it,
What is it? 

- Ceretin.  Yep, there was ceretin on the tables!  Hoorah! Really helped me solve the above riddle - I was having a total mental block.  Blah.

- The Cube on display.  Or, actually, a replica.  The real Cube is, of course, safe in Perplex City again. T’was still great though, truly an item to behold.

- Rand0m’s prize money of 2 million lecks on display!  A few players might have stolen a few lecks, but still… >.>; *stuffs something deeper into his pocket*

- The friendliness of everyone.  Every time I go to a meet of ex-Cube-Hunters, I’m amazed by how awesomely nice they are!

- Someone was looking at the puzzles with me, and asked who I was.  I said “Mindez”, and she went all “Oh my God I know you! I could almost faint! O_O You’re a legend!”, which.. made me feel very embarrassed, but.. wow, I’m well known! This is probably in response to my card solve guide, in which I’ve posted hints for every season 1 puzzle card..

 

Well, it’s been great fun.  Except the whole “I almost lost a leitmark” thing.  That was just annoying.

I’m going to go glue my leitmarks to my jacket now.. And yes, I’m being serious.

*walks off looking for some glue in which the head HASN’T stuck hopelessly to the cap*
