    On No 5 on the terms and conditions of the website:

    http://www.littlebrownbooks.net/tc/terms-conditions-the-midas-code/

    It says:

    5. The competition opens on Monday 8th August 2011 and closes at 11.59 BST on Sunday 28th August 2011.

    So it was only the final puzzle that was up today - it actually closes in a week's time (and not 19/08 like it says on the OP - not sure if the closing date can be amended on it or not at this late stage)?
