Alrighty, This is meant to be FUN. That's all. But there are prizes.

We are going to start out this game with a black, blank rectangle.
It will start out slow but heat up near the end so be on your toes.
I will announce the times daily when a new piece will be revealed well in advance. ( I might be a little late doing so )
HINT: The puzzle is coin related.

It will stay blank for about three days while you guys and gals with 50 or more quality posts on CCF with US addresses can sign up to play.

Post that you want in the game or you can't play.

Once the first part of the puzzle is revealed, nobody new can join in.
It wouldn't be fair to let everyone else blow their minds for the next 10 or so days and have somebody else waltz in late and names the answers.

Here's how it works.
Each day I will reveal a new portion of the puzzle.
There are three separate answers to this puzzle.
Parts revealing the top half will be mostly obvious first but some of the bottom half will as well. I suspect the answers will fall in this order.

A. The top half has the first answer
B. The bottom half has the second answer
C. When you put the answer to the top half together with the bottom half you can answer the question in a dollar amount.

RULES

1.You have to be signed in by posting you want to play.

2.You cannot join late.
Spectators don't spoil it for everyone if you missed the boat.
SSSSsshhh audience .... Quiet please!
I may do another contest, catch you next time.

3.One guess per day after new clue is revealed, first correct answer posted wins.
All answers have to be posted almost, if not perfectly
( I'll be the tough judge on that ). Don't miss a word!

4.One winner per part A. B. C.
You can't win two or all three.

5.You must live in the US and have at least 50 quality posts to play.

If you don't know how to play, better wiki or youtoob classic concentration or the rebus game to get the idea.

PRIZES
I will be sending out a bunch of better than roll search, keeper Jefferson nickels to three winners and maybe a bonus goodie on top of that in each lot.

Sign up starts now and ends end of day 11:59 PM forum time on Oct 1st. October 2 and you're out. Sorry.

Here's examples of answers with what we can see so far

A. The top puzzle part is a
Black Cow in well
or
B. The bottom is a
Mole in a hole at night
or
C. The total is
There are two animals

First part will be revealed after midnight Oct 2.
You don't have to post an answer every day, and you don't have to post all three answers at once either.

I know this will start out slow but it will be funner later.

Hi, I think I recall that you have an address in the US that you get to every so often. You can play Concentration if I can ship to that US address. Post I'm in if this is the plan. Thanks!

This exception goes for anyone else as well that is outside of the US but has an address I can ship to in the US.
This rule has a lot to do with the cost of shipping which I have to pay and the shipper(s) reliability.

There's about 24 hours left for sign up, and after Sunday 10/1/17 midnite, ( If I can stay up that late ) the first clue will be given.
The players will be those only included that joined up prior to the first clue being given.
So get in the game kids.
