NEW I SPY TENYO CONTEST

[JohnM]

I SPY TENYO CONTEST by SIMON CRAZE begins Sunday, September 15, 2013 at 3 pm EST.

Simon has created another beautiful puzzle that is even more challenging than the first.

He will attach the puzzle file in this thread at the designated start time.

Try and find the Tenyo related items in the picture. We will not tell you how many there are, but we will say there are more than the last contest which had 20.

When you are satisfied that you have found them all, PM SimonC with a list of the items. You can only PM one time so make sure you are done before you send the PM.

Also provide a number between 0 and 999 which will be used as a tie breaker if need be and to determine a new random prize.

The contest ends Sunday September 22, 2013 at 3pm EST. All entries must be in by then. The winner will be announced shortly after.

Anyone can play and enter and win, but only Charter Members and Full Members can win the prize.

There will be two prizes this time. One for the person with the highest number of correct matches.

All Charter and Full Members who enter the contest and get at least half of the matches are eligible for the other prize. The number you provide (0-999) will determine the winner of the random entrants prize.

The random number for a tie and to select the entrants prize will come from the New York Lottery Midday NUMBERS drawing for Monday, Sept. 23, 2013. The closest to the drawn number will win. http://nylottery.ny.gov/wps/portal

The prizes are the same. Each winner will get vintage packaged Crazy Dice and Coin Case from Tricks Co. with English instructions with free delivery worldwide. http://funstuffonly.com/tenyo/buysell/o ... -for-sale/

Good Luck and Most of All Have Fun!

I spy with my little eye, something beginning with... T!

Ok guys so here it is, iSpy Tenyo MK.2

The first one was tricky, but this one will really sort the men from the boys.
See how many elements you can find from Tenyo tricks, their graphics and their packaging hidden in the attached picture.
I won't say how many there are but there are more than last time and last time there were 20.

When you've found all you can PM me with your list of tricks, and a number between 0-999 in case of a tie break situation.
You can only PM me once so make it count!

NOTE FROM JohnM: I enlarged this because this is a great addition to the prize booty and I wanted to make sure all of you guys see it. THANK YOU SIMON!
As well as John's prizes, I'll be putting up one too, and there will be a special reward made by my fair hands for anyone who finds ALL of the hidden Tenyo's.

Good luck fellow Tenyologists,
Let the games... BEGIN!

NOTE FROM JohnM: Three posts down there is a larger file that you can use but you have to download it as it is too big to add to the forum.

That's the contest over and we have a winner!
It was VERY close. All entries had some correct and some incorrect guesses, +1 for a correct one -1 for an incorrect one.
There were only 3 points between the top three entries so it really was close.
Between them, all of the 30 hidden Tenyo's were spotted.
So....
The winner is....
