Did anyone ever complete this game, or win the prize?

I remember when this game was released, the makers of the game (The Edge) offered a prize of a Sceptre worth £30,000 to the first person to complete the game and solve all the riddles.

To my knowledge, no-one ever won the prize. The riddles were found at various points in the game and were as follows:-

AT LAST YOU THINK YOU ARE THERE

BE SWEET AND BE QUICK TO GO BACKWARD

TOURD'FORCE USING ONLY A KNIFE TO EAT AN A1 SOLUTION.

BINARY INDECISIONS BETWEEN SILENT BEGINNINGS AND QUIET TERMINATIONS

LOSING THE DUTCH ONE, ROYALTY APPEARS BEFORE ME

A THOUSAND ADDED TO EVERYTHING LOSES FIFTY

Does anyone know what the solution to the riddles was? Did anyone finish the game? What happens at the end?

It makes you wonder if the makers of the game ever truly intended to give away a Sceptre worth £30,000. That was a lot of money for a software company back in 1984. The "riddles" sound bogus. I would love to hear an explanation or answer of any kind.

Ok, I think I have figured out the clues. Maybe it wasn't a scam after all. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.219.130.35 (talk) 08:39:26, August 19, 2007 (UTC)

If you've figured them out please enlighten us! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.194.197.36 (talk) 13:42, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Here is what I have so far, if anyone can figure out the first three please add them:

"Honi soit qui mal y pense" translated as "Shame be to him who thinks evil of it"

AT LAST YOU THINK YOU ARE THERE = "?"

BE SWEET AND BE QUICK TO GO BACKWARD = "?"

TOURD'FORCE USING ONLY A KNIFE TO EAT AN A1 SOLUTION. = "?"

BINARY INDECISIONS BETWEEN SILENT BEGINNINGS AND QUIET TERMINATIONS = "SOIT"

The beginning letter of "silent"' is "s". The termination (letter) of "quiet" is "t". "Binary indecisions" must be a 1 or a 0. S + 10 + T = "SOIT"

LOSING THE DUTCH ONE, ROYALTY APPEARS BEFORE ME = "QUI"

"One" in Dutch is "een". "Royalty" = "Queen" "Me" = "I" QUEEN - EEN + I = "QUI"

A THOUSAND ADDED TO EVERYTHING LOSES FIFTY = "MAL"

Roman numerals. M=1000 "Everything" = "all". 50=L M + All - L = "MAL" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.25.49.244 (talk) 00:21, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
