+backhiker Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Returned from the weekend very late last night. Picked up my 157 emails this morning eagerly looking for one from Avroair! Figured this cointest was all over, to find out there are more stages to come! This stage looks like it will take a good bit of time so... Working on stage 5!
+ECplus3 Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Stage 5 complete! There were 7 books, but there are going to be 8 movies. Will there be a two-stage final puzzle? Also, are we going to have to wait until 2010 to see the end of this cointest?
+avroair Posted August 19, 2008 Author Posted August 19, 2008 a two-stage final puzzle? Hmm... don't tempt me! Also, are we going to have to wait until 2010 to see the end of this cointest? Nope only until Thursday or Friday.
+BlueMotmot Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 stage 5 will take me a bit longer - can't surreptitiously work on it at work
+backhiker Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Stage 5 complete! There were 7 books, but there are going to be 8 movies. Will there be a two-stage final puzzle? Also, are we going to have to wait until 2010 to see the end of this cointest? Actually there is going to be a new book. It is a spin-off story. Don't have much of the details, but a friend of mine works at Borders and already has it on pre-order (yes they do that with books too!)
+avroair Posted August 19, 2008 Author Posted August 19, 2008 Stage 6: Using the last four letters of the answer to stage 5: In 4 steps turn the word into C A F E, only changing one letter each stage.
xboxcrazy33 Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Stage 6 email sent. Just ignore the subject line, I answered my own question. Thanks for another great puzzle!
+treasurehunters5 Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Just found out about this and would like to try. Stage one done and on it's way.
dimkasmir Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Sent email on stage 5. I thought I posted earlier but now I see that somehow the post didn't go through. The email was sent a few minutes ago.
+Hockeyhick Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 WHO HOO! Even with work and my general ineptness, I just turned in stage 6!
+backhiker Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Just got to work on this. Solved quickly. Email sent stage 5.
+surteb Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Still waiting on instructions for Stage 5. Loving the puzzles!
+Westmoreland Cache Team Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 E-Mail Sent: Stage 1 - A Little Late starting on this one!
+kehunt64 Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 3 words I like from HP Muggle butterbeer sneakoscope
+backhiker Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 My 3 favorite words from the series... House-elf; got to get me one of these! Remembrall; going to need one as I get older Omnioculars; would be great for caching and of course my favorite game Wizard's chess.
+Silfron Mandotheneset Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Working on four, seems pretty easy... hopefully I can still catch up
xboxcrazy33 Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 My 3 favorite words from the Harry Potter series: Horcrux: Yes, I know it's a very dark word, but it is so important to the story. Disappearate: Fun sounding word, plus it would make traveling so much easier. Expecto Patronus: I'm counting it as one word. Best spell in the series, since it basically unleashes the ultimate good power inside of you. Looking forward to Stage 7! Thanks again for the awesome cointest and all the awesome puzzles!!!
+Silfron Mandotheneset Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Working on four, seems pretty easy... hopefully I can still catch up just had to say it didn't I? Now I'm stumped, of course. Will probably try it again tomorrow, I have been up for like 18 hours straight. Probably no hope of catching up though
dimkasmir Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 After some thinking, I would have to make my 3 favorites words Hedwig, Quaffle, and disaperating.
+Hockeyhick Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 (edited) Favorite words? "Janus Thickey" just for the juvenile snickers I get when I say it fast... "Rita Skeeter" for proving that there are rednecks everywhere... and "Bellatrix Lestrange" for the memory of someone I once dated for a night. This has been an awesome time, and since I'll no doubt be at work when stage 7 is released, good luck to all! Edited August 20, 2008 by Hockeyhick
+gardengorilla Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 and not enough time to post that i was working on stage 6, email sent for stage 6
+ECplus3 Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 I think my three favourite words created by JKR have to be 'quaffle, snitch, and bludger' -- especially 'bludger'. It just perfectly describes what the thing does!
+backhiker Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Working on stage 7, sorry forgot to post in my excitement!
