Well the day finally came around where I got the puzzles for the final challenge. Too make a long story short, there's no way that I came remotely close at winning the grand prize. I knew I wasn't gonna as soon as I got to the first puzzle. It was the symbol challange but on a full sudoku layout (9×9 grid). It took me probably 20 minutes to get through that puzzle. Then it was on to the the restoration puzzle (swapping out sploches of paint until only one sploch was left), which I got through fairly quickly (less than 10 minutes). Then it was my demise.. the curator's puzzle (hanging pictures on hooks when there are more hooks than pictures). Try as I may, and boy did I try and try and try… I had a hard time completing it. And in the weeee hours of the morning I gave up to try again in the morning. So I went to bed (see I knew I wasn't going to win), thinking with a fresher perspective I'd be able to do it. So once I woke up, I continued on my quest. I was bound and determined to finish it…. just to say I finished. And finally…. I finished the curators challenge! Now on to the 4th (and I think the most evil), it was the chess challange (get to checkmate in 3 moves). Since I'm chess-impaired, I did it the best way I know how. Process of elimination… I tried every conceivable combo until I got through it (and it didn't take me THAT long). Now on to the final puzzle, it was a 24-piece jigsaw puzzle with the picture being a video clip. It was fairly easy and only took me a few minutes to finish. And then I was DONE! FINISHED! I completed the final phase! I may have only won the cryptex… but I am a proud winner of the cryptex.
