MBTA 10+1 Contest, Contest Code 2

Merry Christmas! Okay, it's still a bit early for that, but I thought I'd share some good news with you that does involve gifts. Or really prizes.

I started the Murder by the Acre 10+1 Contest yesterday. Hidden in yesterday's post was a code of sorts. Solve it, and write the answer down. You're going to need 10+1 answers, and that's the first. Ms. Roen has already solved it; have you? If you get all 10+1 answers to the MBTA Contest Codes, you'll get a chance to win over $100 of books, MBTA merchandise, and other items.

List of prizes so far: 1 signed hardcover EndlesS, 1 signed hardcover Murder by Dewey Decimal (I only have a handful of these left, and you can't presently purchase one anywhere), 1 unsigned hardcover The Ruby Key by Holly Lisle, 10 Murder by the Acre bookmarks, and 1 Murder by the Acre kitchen magnet, and 1 large Murder by Dewey Decimal t-shirt. There will be more prizes as I accumulate them. By the way, we'll be talking more about The Ruby Key by Holly Lisle soon.

Like the contest? I thought you would.

How is this going to work? Everyone who sends in the correct 10+1 answers will be entered in a drawing, and one lucky and smart person will win.

Oh, come on, it's not that hard. The codes will require no special knowledge, just cleverness.

Usually my contests are easier, but some very smart people read this blog. Time to test those eyes, ears, and wits. How smart are they? I'm curious to find out.

Seek the 10+1 answers, my friends. The MBTA Contest codes will give you the answers, but the questions won't come until the end. Clear as mud, eh? Don't worry about the questions now. Just concentrate on the answers.

Every answer has something to do with Murder by the Acre so a copy of that will be helpful, but not necessary. Now get to decoding. You won't want to get behind. Talk to you tomorrow!

This answer is a bit obscure, so it occurred to me that you might get the answer and not know that you did. Maybe this will help. Bernard’s parents admired a former president. Good luck.

I got it! And I did it without the clue. :)

SBB said...

That's 'cause you're smart, Gloria! :)

SBB said...

Now what are you giggling about, Michelle?

Jean said...

Oh, this is more like it. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with this.

I also got it without the clue...but it took me a minute.

Unknown said...

I've got the first two.. I think. :)

Michelle said...

I just like this stuff. Makes me feel sneaky. There's something oddly gratifying about that.

Unknown said...

Argh!

Jean, the puzzles don't really get harder -- although I've been told I'm a bad judge of that because I love puzzles and codes. I guess we'll see how many clues y'all need.

Good for you, Adam! Hang on to your answer!

Good job, Amber. Be sure to write your answers down. Remember you need 10+1 answers to enter the drawing.

Michelle, I agree! I'm glad you're enjoying it. :)

Joel, I know you can solve these so that was probably an "argh" of victory, right?
