Jamesi's Golden Ticket

Greetings to you, the lucky finder of this Golden Ticket, from jamesi. Tremendous things are in store for you! Many wonderful surprises await you! You may share this ticket with one friend...and only one...but no one else.

As I said, this was a nostalgia puzzle.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

It's a vignere cipher, and the key is "aero" -- well, it had to be that or jamesi -- which Mart, and many others by now, decrypted to:

www.smirkbox.com/wwatcf.html

Now you are on your own. Very Happy



And what exactly does that url stand for?

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The first letters of Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, which it appears jamesi's class has been reading (unless his daughter is already using crayons)

Okay, one of you blighters gave me a cold! Razz

After being laid up with it for a few days, I finally have all my pictures ready to post (weeded out/cropped etc.), sorry about the delay!

I had mentioned to Gup that she could post them since I'm on dialup, but after I shrunk them all, they only came out to 6.7MB which won't be TOO long of an upload over here. So I'll be working on it tonight. Wish me luck... or not Wink

I took the instructions to mean that we could share the ticket with only one other person. And now I'm stuck on the second riddle.
If one didn't play The Beast or Lockjaw (like me), this is not easy (but thanks for the hint, imbri).

So it was just a limit on sharing the chocolate?! No sweat. I didn't share THAT with anybody. Smile Those Aero Bars are damn fine.

Anyhoo, now for a little nostalgia for chocolate lovers, the text of the ticket tucked under the wrapper of our treat:

Like I said, Mart started this puzzle in his head at the dinner table (figuring out the cipher and where to start), finished with pen and paper before the meal was over. No pressure.

jamesi followed through and made his parents deliver aero bars to the ARGFest. What a treat! What great parents!

But even better - each bar had wrapped in side a golden ticket!

Mart actually solved this thing in his head, but it says it can only be shared with one person. Hopefully he meant only one person at the fest - hey jamesi, can we share the puzzle????


Absolutely. The Aero bars, although they play an important part early on, are just the means of transportation for the puzzle.

Nothing fancy, but here are a few more samples of tourist photos from Orlando. We did the Universal scavenger hunt with the Addlepateds (she already posted the photographic evidence). Then next day was Epcot Food & Wine (wish it wasn't so darn chilly and wet that day - I would have sampled more food & wine booths). If you get there, get over to Mission Space ride first (and hope you don't have a problem with motion sickness). For our last day, the konas tried MGM Studios (Tower of Terror was great!).
