Alpha Sleuth® Weekly Solving Contest Rules

The Rules:

We will post an Alpha Sleuth® puzzle on our Solving Contest page every Sunday at 3:00pm Eastern time. Solvers will have 144 hours (6 days) to earn Solving Ladder credit.

Submit your answer using our Contest Entry page.

The first and second solver to reply with the correct answer will be declared the "Alpha" and the "Beta", respectively.

04/04/2008: We use our email PC/server "received" time-stamp as the official time. This eliminates discrepancies between "sent" PC/server times, which is the fairest method possible. However, email can cause delays on an individual basis. If you have concerns about receipt-times, please request a confirmation with your email.

Those who respond with correct answers within the allotted time will earn Solving Ladder points, and eventually solving titles! We will respond to all participants.

We will post the names and localities of everyone who earns Ladder points. See our Solving Ladder for current standings, and the Solving Ladder Rules for details.

We do offer a free Solving Tool and encourage everyone to use that. (Much easier than working with printed puzzles!)

All contest rulings are made by KingMate Products, and are final.

Best of Luck, and may the best Sleuth win! :-)
