+Team OleOmi Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I was a Games Magazine fanatic back in the late 60s and early 70s...loved the word and math puzzles...got all illogical on the logic stuff...lol...I would like to reserve one coin...and I know, hard as I might try on the website, there are at least 26 geocoin fanatics smarter than me to snatch up those LEs...

dimkasmir Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 OK. After many revisions here is the final mint art. We will be starting production soon. I'll keep everyone updated on its status. And don't remember to reserve a coin if already haven't. Quote Link to comment
dimkasmir Posted April 19, 2008 Author Share Posted April 19, 2008 Some updates: The coins will be minted and sold by Hogwild Stuff. The dies are now getting made. I will have some coins for trading. Quote Link to comment
+Frank n Beck Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Please put us down for one. Great idea! Quote Link to comment
dimkasmir Posted April 19, 2008 Author Share Posted April 19, 2008 I am not going to be taking reservations for the coins because the plan has changed and Hogwild Stuff will be handling all the sales without reservations. Sorry to everyone who already emailed me about reserving a coin. Quote Link to comment
+OwlCacher Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 The samples are in, and one of us will post pictures when we get home. Quote Link to comment

dimkasmir Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 I don't know if everyone understood but I'm not going to be the one selling the coins - Hogwild is. So there aren't going to be reservations, sorry. However, for those interested, I will have a few coins to trade. Oh and thanks for the comments everybody! Quote Link to comment
+Crowesfeat30 Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 check out the website! Website? Linky, plz. CF30 Quote Link to comment
RedShoesGirl Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 i loved games magazine! especially a game called "word arithmetic" hard to find that game any more. this is a wonderful coin. i look forward to seeing it at GWVI! lara Quote Link to comment
dimkasmir Posted May 4, 2008 Author Share Posted May 4, 2008 The website is the one that appears on the coin itself: ConundrumCoin.com. It is up right now but noone will be able to register without an actual ConundrumCoin. Quote Link to comment

dimkasmir Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 The coins have been received by Hogwild and I will be getting my portion along with the LE coins tomorrow at Geowoodstock! I am not sure when these will go up on sale but the site is ready once they do. Just a note, winners will only be required to pay for the shipping of their LE coin which will be approximately $1.50 in the US. Quote Link to comment

Will you be attending the Geocoin SwapMeet? Quote Link to comment
dimkasmir Posted May 25, 2008 Author Share Posted May 25, 2008 I picked up my portion of ConundrumCoins today at Geowoodstock. They really turned out awesome! However there are two slight problems. The first one is that the tracking numbers turned out really small and mostly cannot be read by the bare eye. I'm really sorry about that but I did not know that they would turn out this way. Also the mint made a mistake and the LE's were made shiny gold instead of antique. We will be reminting these 25 coins. However this does not affect the puzzles and website. If someone solves all of the puzzles before the remint arrives, we will reserve an LE for that person. Quote Link to comment
+Vanelle Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 I'm really looking forward to getting one of these coins and trying the puzzle site, but am not at GW. Has the puzzling begun now that the coins are available at GW? How does the contest part work for someone like me who is waiting for the coin to go on sale on a website? Quote Link to comment
dimkasmir Posted May 25, 2008 Author Share Posted May 25, 2008 The coin was not on sale for GW and I jsut made two trades. Those people will be able to start puzzling but other than that no one owns the coin yet. Quote Link to comment

Those people will be able to start puzzling but other than that no one owns the coin yet. Wow,I feel honored that I was one of the lucky ones to get a trade!!! Too bad we're too danged tired to puzzle tonight! I showed the coin to a lot of people, and they all wanted one. Too bad you had to leave so early. If you could have made the geocoin event, you wouldn't have any coins left! Thanks for the trade, it was great to meet you! Hopefully tomorrow night we'll have time to start the brain hurt!

+Vanelle Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Thanks for the update. As if I needed one more reason to wish I had been able to attend GW6! [] Quote Link to comment
+OwlCacher Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Steve said that the coins might go on sale later tonight, and the prize coins (the metal was wrong and we reminted them) should be coming in in a week or two. Also keep an eye out for a new project that should be unveiled later today as well. Quote Link to comment

RedShoesGirl Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 ordered one, looks very very cool. being a math kinda of person (and an old games magazine subscriber) this was a "natch!" rsg Quote Link to comment
+Vanelle Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 I was so hoping mine would be in the mailbox today. I ordered two a while ago and was looking forward to some weekend puzzling. Trying to be patient and wait now until Monday! Quote Link to comment
+desert georangers Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 I received mine today. Very nice coins! I'm working on the puzzles now; up to #5 solved so far. Hogwild's description, "reading the tracking number is a bit of a puzzle" means the tracking code is super small and requires microscope eyes to read it. Thanks for printing it on the flip. Now, back to puzzle#6 for me! Quote Link to comment
+BlueMotmot Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 these puzzles are hard!!! Quote Link to comment
+LibertyBelle Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 These coins are awesome! Finished up the puzzles yesterday. Some were easy...and some were really hard. Takes quite a bit of thinking and work. Good luck to all others that are still working on puzzles! Quote Link to comment
