" YIPPEE !! I HAVE JUST FOUND THE FORTH and FIFTH ARTIFACTS IN THE INDY COMPETITION !!"

From Kevin

Dear CoW members and players in our competition,we have a 'short-cut' aspect built into our clues. Those of you clever enough to find it will have an advantage, HOWEVER (!) the end result and ultimate WINNER in our comp will be decided by a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT method.
So in a nut shell, keep on finding those ARTIFACTS I have set and wait for
the next update from ERRI. Regards. Kevin

(hey I found the spot too!)

" YIPPEE !! I HAVE JUST FOUND THE FORTH and FIFTH ARTIFACTS IN THE INDY COMPETITION !!"

Stupid spot...that darn dog gets in the craziest of places! He seems friendly enough though...good thing his bark is meaner than his bite!

Erri · Post by **Erri** » Sun May 04, 2008 4:50 am

Read the BREAKING NEWS and please, if anyone has found the artifacts but not said it yet, say it publically so Kevin can add you to the list

http://www.endicotts.co.uk/index.php?cPath=121

I hope you have been collecting the ARTIFACTS or you have no
chance !!

lingarn · Post by **lingarn** » Sun May 04, 2008 5:53 am

I will confirm here (and have sent a message to Kevin) that I am still in.

I had discovered a little shortcut that I brought to Kevin's attention, and offered to drop out if it proved to be an unfair advantage, but he has assured me that it will be utterly useless in the final round.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I am having a great time with this competition. Win or lose, I've had a lot of fun playing the game.

Edit: For the record, " YIPPEE !! I HAVE JUST FOUND THE FORTH and FIFTH ARTIFACTS IN THE INDY COMPETITION !!"

Erri · Post by **Erri** » Sun May 04, 2008 6:43 am

I'm enjoying it too even if I'm not officially in.

LATEST NEWS:
This is what Kevin wrote me:

Could you check that EVERYBODY who is still in the competition has ALL of the ARTIFACTS so far i.e ARTIFACTS 1 to 5 inclusive.

If they don't they can e-mail me directly to find out what do.

Note: This ONLY applies to members who have followed the competition from
the beginning

Last chance to get the SECOND CLUE tonight 23.00 HRS GMT.

HUGE helping hand now on !!

YIPPEE !! I HAVE JUST FOUND THE FORTH and FIFTH ARTIFACTS IN THE INDY COMPETITION !!

This dog is hiding from you..where I wonder? Follow his bark and you will find him.

Erri · Post by **Erri** » Sun May 04, 2008 3:37 pm

Robby, Kevin just told me that he added you to the news page.

He also gave me a little teaser of what the final will be like. From what I understood players will need, in the end, to discuss on the forum what exactly it is he is asking them. He will give each 'idea' a COLD / WARM / HOT / DARNRIGHT BOILING !! rating. More details soon!

Cheers

Erri

:edit: PS
Kevin will ALSO have a FREE-FOR-ALL-type competition where EVERYONE on the forum will be invited to play. It will be based on a 'PICTURE' which will be revealed at the very end of the main competition with a question which relates to ?????????

Erri · Post by **Erri** » Mon May 05, 2008 7:46 am

FINAL STAGE
From Kevin

I have now put the final 'puzzle' to be solved on our main news
page http://www.endicotts.co.uk/extra_info_p ... pages_id=8

From here the contenders will need to discuss on the forum exactly what I'm
after from the clues given.

At 23.00 HRS GMT on Wednesday the players who know the answer will be set a final challenge (the clever bit!).

This person will win the W&G.

Kev says THAT

cow is NOT the right one but nice try !! The FIRST person to get the SIXTH ARTIFACT will be the first to get THE cow !! Oh man this is gonna be fun !! Focus on the DRIP-CLUE at the bottom of the NEWS
page.........

Castor Dioscuri · Post by **Castor Dioscuri** » Mon May 05, 2008 12:36 pm

Please tell me I'm not the first to officially say...

" YIPPEE !! I HAVE JUST FOUND THE SIXTH and FINAL ARTIFACT IN THE INDY COMPETITION !! By the way, I have also found THE COW IN THE FIELD !! How big do you think it is ?"

Oh wait, I am!

Sorry Erri, I guess that Cow on the field was not you after all! No offence... I meant Cow in a gearhead sort of way... Right.

Crop circles be darned!

Well, for the rest of ya, I can only suggest you do the kind of hunting that Dr. Jones does when he has those heavy glasses on!

Erri · Post by **Erri** » Mon May 05, 2008 1:33 pm

Great !!, our first FINALIST is in !! Keep on trying to solve my puzzle. Once we have all the competitors with THE NUMBER (or the time elapses) and consequently the SIXTH and FINAL ARTIFACT we will be able to get a decisive winner. Keep those ARTIFACTS safe.

RE our OTHER COMPETITION for a MKVII, CAN YOU GUESS WHAT SIZE (height) THE COW is in my field ? Tip: It is probably BIGGER than you think. The nearest guess to the CORRECT SIZE (which Erri holds) will win ANOTHER MKVII. Anybody can enter just post your "SIZE" guess on the forum.

Kevin

jedidentist · Post by **jedidentist** » Mon May 05, 2008 1:57 pm

Still working on the clues, but I guess 170 ft wide and 40 ft tall

lingarn · Post by **lingarn** » Mon May 05, 2008 2:42 pm

" YIPPEE !! I HAVE JUST FOUND THE SIXTH and FINAL ARTIFACT IN THE INDY COMPETITION !! By the way, I have also found THE COW IN THE FIELD !! How big do you think it is ?"

How to put a clue for this...

Hrm....

Well, I think that the drips really helped me a lot, when I was searching for answers.

My guess is 80 by 40.

RobbyT43 · Post by **RobbyT43** » Mon May 05, 2008 9:52 pm

My guess is 65 feet tall.

-Robby

lingarn · Post by **lingarn** » Mon May 05, 2008 9:55 pm

I would guess about 45ft by 150ft...

...But that's just me.

I hope more people make it into the final round! Castor Dioscuri is always faster than me, so it'd be nice to see someone give him a run for his money.

Good job i'm not in the competition because I have no clue at all

Give me a hint guys

RobbyT43 · Post by **RobbyT43** » Tue May 06, 2008 8:24 am

Darn. I get all of the clues up til now...and my mind just goes BLANK- wiped clean by the wrath of God....

-Robby

lingarn · Post by **lingarn** » Tue May 06, 2008 9:42 am

Well, I'd say the biggest hints are in the drip clues.

Archaeology sometimes requires that you dig deep into the past. Remember, Kevin and Endicott's have had a long history with this forum... How long, I wonder?

And as I said before, the DRIP CLUES really helped me when I was SEARCHing for answers.

jedidentist · Post by **jedidentist** » Tue May 06, 2008 10:19 am

Man...the clues are driving me nuts. I was off from work all day yesterday and I still haven't figured it out yet.

jedidentist · Post by **jedidentist** » Tue May 06, 2008 12:00 pm

Hot dang I figured it out! Haven't received my e-mail confirmation yet, but it's got to be it. Like the Nazi's...I was digging in the wrong place.

I was going to contest after my first guesses were proven wrong, but then I realized the Erri of my ways...

FROM KEVIN

Come on guys and girls !! Guess the SIZE OF MY COW !! He took me two and a half hours !! One of my neighbours was looking over the fence and asked what I was up to. I tried to explain but he ran off !! He's bigger than you may think and you need to guess his HEIGHT.Just post your guess on the COW ( hee hee!!) FORUM. Erri will tell you who is the closest 24 hours after we announce the WINNER of the main Comp. Good luck !! P.S A MKVII for the nearest guess !! Anyone can enter !!

redsleighdown · Post by **redsleighdown** » Tue May 06, 2008 4:31 pm

my guess = 72 feet for the height of the C O W

EDIT: GUESS CHANGED

Erri · Post by **Erri** » Tue May 06, 2008 4:53 pm

TO ALL THE FINALISTS

Please post (or send me through PM) your location so Kevin can decide when he can post the final part

jedidentist · Post by **jedidentist** » Tue May 06, 2008 5:31 pm

I'm outside of Boston, Massachusetts...Eastern Standard Time in the US (5 hours behind the UK).

Derek

BTW-lingarn's clue is the biggest help. Obviously, once you figure it out, it all fits in. However, I will say that some "clues" aren't that much help.

NOTE TO ERRI: My location is Alabama- Central Time Zone, but I am at school until 3:30 CT! Hopefully, this won't hinder the competition. If it does in fact, then I am willing to concede my entry.

masa · Post by **masa** » Tue May 06, 2008 5:57 pm

Finland. 2 hours ahead the UK.

lingarn · Post by **lingarn** » Tue May 06, 2008 7:20 pm

Wisconsin. Central Time, so I am at -5:00 GMT.

Congrats to everyone who made it through the final artifact!

Computer skills alone won't save us from the horrors that lie ahead!

That makes two of us!

Ah, and my guess for the COW in the FIELD would be about 6 feet.

redsleighdown · Post by **redsleighdown** » Tue May 06, 2008 10:11 pm

Finally found it (awaiting confirmation of course).

Didn't know I was going to have to search that far back in the endicotts competition!

Listen. Since I've met you I've nearly been incinerated, drowned, shot at, and chopped into fish bait. We're caught in the middle of something sinister here, my guess is dad found out more than he was looking for and until I'm sure, I'm going to continue to do things the way I think they should be done.

That's what scares me.

What do you mean?

Oh, Rats. Give me your torch.

What is it? I hate snakes, jock I hate ‘em. Stay here.........Are you crazy? Don't go
between them.........

All I have to do is squeeze.... That's usually when the ground falls out from underneath your feet.

What do you mean?

I don't know, I'm making this up as I go.

"P.S Hee Hee !! Thats just about what happened folks !! I made it ALL up as I went along but it was GREAT FUN to do and I hope you enjoyed the ADVENTURE too !! INDY COW COMP May 2008. See Ya!!

You're all gonna think I'm flippin' insane, but to be honest, the only reason I entered in this contest was because I had a dream that I won... Seriously... You know you're a gearhead when you dream about winning contests on CoW... then go ahead and win 'em!
