I just start on the left and work my way across. Takes a bit of thinking. If you get stuck, just reset the puzzle. It was a lot eaiser when I reset it.

[quoted5c53a9fa4="EatChex89"]the clue to open the cryptex is on the bottom of the box that it came in.. mine was Grail, and they probably all are.
also, did you guys realize the grand prize winner wins ALL the shit?[/quoted5c53a9fa4]All you need is the "IL" of "GRAIL"...these only have two notches so the rest of the rings are just for show/play ?
You can change the code too if you want by taking out the two screws and rotating the last two rings to whatever you want ;)
I was planning on keeping mine but check this auction out ($172.50 with 7 hours to go shock). You can buy a replica for $60 off the website on the box! http//cgi.ebay.com/Official-Da-Vinci-Code-Quest-Google-Finalist-Cryptex_W0QQitemZ7620029810QQcategoryZ197QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

i don't see why they're spening $200 when there are plenty more for 1/2 that listed, or they can buy one for $60
i'll bet they think they can get into the contest because of it
