    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...

    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.
