I've done a "$X per post in this topic in the next 24 hours" topic on CE a couple times, but this time I thought it might be fun to make it a bit of a competition.
I'll be doing this on four boards: Current Events, Random Insanity, Poll of the Day, and Board 8. First board to post the solution wins a $175 donation in its name (if possible) to the charity that the board chooses (we'll have a voting topic afterwards). The other three boards will each get a $50 donation.
I'll post the puzzle in a later post so that all four boards see it within a minute of each other, given the 3-topics-per-15-minutes rule.
A little background on the puzzle: it's an original creation of mine that I came up with about five months ago. I've run it by several people and no one's solved it, but I don't actually think it's that hard.
I'll post hints every 24 hours to all four boards. I'll make the donations on August 1st.
(And to anyone wondering if this qualifies as spamming since there's an actual prize involved: I checked with a Lead, and since the prize is going to a charity, not an individual, it's fine.)
