Using your copy of The Midas Code for reference, solve six fiendishly difficult puzzles in a race against time, and other readers, to be in with the chance of winning the real gold prize. The competition goes live on Monday 8th August, with one puzzle posted every other day until Friday 19th August.

Remember, you need a copy of the book to help decipher the clues and to be in with a chance of winning the gold prize. This is a cumulative competition, so you will need the answers to the first five puzzles in order
to solve the sixth and final puzzle.

Check back here on Monday 8th August for your first instalment.
