What do people think about this?

I hope it's genuine as have spent a bit of time already trying to find the pieces.

Solving the anagrams is the easy part but searching the websites for jigsaw pieces is really frustrating!

The hidden pieces are scattered around the internet, i think 980 will be purchased by websites as a form of advertisement, 10 will go to charities and i think the last 10 go elsewhere (probably very obscure places which will take a while for people to come across). If you click buy pieces, then carry on clicking the buy pieces link you will end up at a page that shows them for sale, only 59 have been sold so far (currently at £300) so i think you could only find 59 of the 1000 at the moment. they go up steeply in price, the last 10 for sale are priced at nearly £6000 each.. who knows how long it will be before they are all out there.

Plus remember that the idea is people buy them and put them on their site so that people explore the site, it would be a waste to put them on the front page or somewhere you will check first, they will be the last place they think you will check.

Also I checked their buy pieces page when this was first posted and I think they had only sold 54 or 56, so they are selling slow.

I wont bother with this one, maybe in a years time there will be a post here that lists most of the places, might be worth a try then.

I would add that the site is a bit ambiguous about where the pieces will be, they say "anywhere on the internet!" ... well remember that you are currently on the web (world wide web) which is all the web sites on the internet. The internet itself is different, it is everything connected to the internet, FTP servers, Email servers, Xbox Live etc.

Anyone seriously following this should go to the official forum at Perplexorum for help with the clues....even though they are strict on people giving away clues. (Lots of reading between the lines needed)
