I asked Santa for the Isis ball for Christmas. If you like puzzles, get one.

Very nice! Though I already forsee somebody cutting one open just to get the key to the gold and silver coins

 

After reading the Isis forum;
http://www.isisadventure.co.uk/forum/index.php

all the others that have solved it say there is more to it once opened.

 

How much is ninety nine L shape!? Why aren't there any gold pyramids in North America! I want a 500 L coin!





Sounds like fun, just too bad I can't participate in the full game. Or afford the initial ball.

 

The puzzle is roughly $197.317, just roughly. Hell the prize of 500 liras turn out to nearly $1,000.00 USD. Would be fun to have here in the US.

 

That looks kinda cool - I'd like one, though it's a touch pricey - but I like a challenge and breaking the code and then getting the prize from the pyramid would be cool. It says it's a race against time - does that mean that their is a time limit until the pyramid thing expires, or does it mean that someone else's key could unlock the same pyramid as yours?

I thought the Gadget Shop had closed down though? Maybe it was just the shops and they kept the website going?

 

The ball itself is (relatively) cheap. It's the flight to the UK and associated expenses that make the prize not so worth it for those of us on this side of the pond.

That said, I love puzzles, so I'll probably keep an eye out for one.

Thanks for the heads up!
