When does it stop?

Ok, I have the ramisis half open, and the copernisis nk is pretty much destroyed. I am currently working on the copernisis and I am a little upset that I spent good money on the puzzle and now if I want clues it will cost me five euros a clue. I understand there is this whole 5% club stuff, which by the way how can you call 5% when you don't even know how many people can open it? Beside all that you get access to other puzzles that some of us don't even bother with. Why don't you offer a version or package deal that comes with instructions and with the understanding that you can't participate in the online games. I like to collect puzzles, and I like to show people my puzzles and let them try them.

But now I have puzzles that are half done and no one can touch them. I would like detailed descriptions of the ramisis and the copernisis. You can keep your prizes seeing as I have no time to figure out things like "an elephant in a day" and "the longhorns trail" I don't care. I do care about over $500 spent in puzzles and only one that can open and close easily, which is the Isis.

For the amount of money, I would like some I instructions. When do you plan on releasing the info, the online games can't go on forever? Any one who has information, I would appreciate the help.

I think I personally would be upset if the puzzle was too easy to open. I mean, considering the cost of the puzzle, I think it violates the nature of the game if the answer is a single click away. And maybe you are arguing at the cost of the clues, which i can totally respect. A little steep. but that little redirect to paypal has kept me happily working on my puzzle for over a month now. If I was after a puzzle I could easily find an answer to, I think I'd have gotten a rubiks cube. Countless youtube videos and online instructions are available for them, and the puzzle is about 1/20th the cost. But this is a beautifully constructed precision puzzle. Aside from a "planet" coming loose and requiring regluing, I've had no issues and been very happy with it. The value of the puzzle goes down substantially when the answer is so close. Be patient my friend, I'm sure the answer to the puzzle you are holding will be available some time in the very near future, maybe by somebody bored and in possession of a video camera and a youtube account. But not having the answer within the first month that the puzzle is available Is really not a bad thing. It keeps people like me with very low will power from spoiling what is an amazing puzzle experience.

Yeah, mine was the second ring from the center... it was an interference fit to begin with, but after 4 days of trying to stick it back in, it no longer had the friction to stay put. I came a shade off mass disappointment after somebody was playing with it at my house and i lucked upon finding the missing ring in between the couch cushions. Man would that have been a disappointment... not only loose, but all together lost... oh well, 2 part epoxy was still cheaper than shipping from Canada back to the UK...

Does anyone have a hint to give on this puzzle. I edited this post. I was told I gave too much information. Hit me up if you want to know what I have found so far. :twisted:

Ok, solved it. I got the key out but never opened the other chamber. Is that normal?

I still havent gotten the "secret" chamber open either, but I havent gotten the key out either. I do see something in each ring but have no idea what to do with that information. As of right now Im just spinning the rings hoping for something to happen. :?:

Don't forget the fun of being conned out of more $$ to join the challenge online! It's not like anyone already spent enough on these puzzles, now we get the privilege of forking over more just to do the online challenge as well!

I am not a "member" but have a open copernisis and no game for me. But that's like not having access to a torture chamber. :D :o

. . . The membership fee will therefore only be required to areas that offer cash rewards or access to pyramid map or award zones or anything else that costs money, like the free searches, mystery pictures and any other new games we introduce next year.

I had membership to the Pyramid Challenge for a year, thanks to Puzz. While the Challenge was interesting, the "puzzles" didn't interest me at all. I visited the site perhaps a handful of times before just getting bored and confirming my beliefs that it is a complete and utter rip-off to pay for.
As I've said, for what these puzzles cost, there shouldn't be any further gouging.

Check that link out. You gotta pay to do the Challenge/Adventure. It gives you picture clues to find pyramids that the Isis puzzle keys open. One key per Pyramid.
