Hmm. So Dan gets 1750?

Hmm. So Dan gets 1750?

I don't like to win on technicalities like this. Honestly, I had these answers and was about to post up well before Dan last night. I did not because I noticed the error. There is no way for me to prove that, but it's true.

That said, I'm not sure what the most fair thing to do would be.

Technically, I didn't understand this was a riddle until about 10:30PM last night and was prepared to scour the "today's smokes" thread to find the answers...

Alrighty, not surprisingly... I messed this up. See below for the revised wording. One word ("smoked" instead of "bought") completely changed the answers that you got - so the answers that have been posted are wrong. You guys will need to reevaluate using this updated clue:

4. The cigar which was bought the day before the Illusione was BOUGHT, was smoked by heftysmokes.

Since I botched this challenge, we will award 1,750 points to the true winner, and then 750 points to the non-winning team (either Irish79 or TheGreekTitan for discovering the flaw). So, some possible scenarios:

- Irish79 posts correct answers first: Irish79 gets 1,750 points, TheGreekTitan gets 750 points
- TheGreekTitan posts correct answers first: TheGreekTitan gets 1,750 points, Irish79 gets 750 points
- heftysmokes posts correct answers first: heftysmokes gets 1,750 points, TheGreekTitan gets 750 points
- badwhale posts correct answers first: badwhale gets 1,750 points, Irish79 gets 750 points

Sheesh...

The way I read this, you're still looking for a correct answer, right?

Well, I pick the winning lottery numbers every week - I just don't play.

I completely understand. My only point is, I did not post up my answers last night only because I saw the error. If the consensus is that Dan should get the points, I'm completely fine with that. I have no way of proving I picked the "winning lottery numbers" first.

Dangit wait... I need to check my notes again...
