[edit] Questions for the Treasure Hunt

  • How does any of this lead to finding a ring?
  • What impact does the "not sharing solutions" rule have?
  • Therre are 100 rings. Are there 100 puzzles?

[edit] Is this article Wiki-worthy

  • Notable - Is the book notable? Yes, see the New York Times Listing.
  • Neutral point of view - is this article NPOV? Partially, the content is netural, but slanted towards information on the treasure hunt, which may be the most notable aspect of the book.
  • Verifiability - is this article verifiable? Yes, most references are provided to the official hunt site, or to the book itself.
  • No original research - is the article orginal research? We may have some problems here. Until the rings are found, this article may include speculation on the meaning and imporance of clues. Need to be careful here, to only include hints that anyone can open the book and see with their own eyes.


[edit] Expanding this to a proper Puzzle FAQ

I think we should expand the information here to include basic transcriptions of all the probable puzzles. I also think the main speculations should be described so that new trovers don't have to reinvent the wheel. After the puzzle is finished the page can be tidied up and remove the incorrect speculation. I'm OAF on the main forum and am going to do this over the next few days. PM me if there's a problem.

First, I recommend you read about Wikipedia including WP:NOT, WP:POV, etc... Second, I recommend that you create a wiki log on so your edits are attributed to a single user. Other than that, good luck and find some rings! --AnotherDoth 20:45, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
Thanks slowly i'll add descriptions and major speculations covering the probable puzzles (and put in more links to the forums!). WikiOAF 12:49, 11 January 2007 (UTC) OAF
