Note: Please do note that some rules have been modified..Smile

Here I present you the second edition of Open Sesame..Laughing..

You have 4 boxes to choose from...each of them has a riddle about - a veggie, a grain, a fruit and a spice (not necessarily in this order.. any box can have any category)



Rule 1) You can make any random selection of any the boxes which would contains one of the above mentioned ingredients (only 1 box per person) by shooting an email to ifl(dot)opensesame(at)gmail.com, with your Name and Choice of box. Within 24 hours, a riddle would be sent to you.

Rule 2) By June 24th 2008 (midnight EST), you need to crack the riddle and find out the hidden ingredient.

Note: 3 chances in total would be given to each participant. Once the riddle is sent, the member replies back with her first guess. If its correct, then BINGO! - She gets 25 points. In case, the first guess is incorrect, a hint would be automatically sent to the participant and will be playing for only 20 points; 2nd hint - 15 points; 3rd hint - 10 points.

Each line of the riddle has a hint to the secret ingredient.. Please do place a close attention to those.. and believe me, cracking the riddle is a no-brainer..Very Happy

Rule 3) Once we confirm that you have the ingredient right, you can go-ahead and make a super duper recipe from it. Recipe along with the puzzle will have to be posted in the week of 25th-30th of June 2008 with a link back to this thread. An additional link to my blog and DK's blog would be highly appreciated. Smile

Send in your entry details -"Name", "Recipe Name", "Recipe URL", a 300 X 300 photo to ifl(dot)opensesame(at)gmail(dot)com. Smile

Rule 4) Common Voting will begin from 1st - 5th of July (midnight EST), where forum members get to vote for their favorite recipe and we have one winner who will receive a surprise gift!!..Laughing

Note: Yes not only the prize but points help too since every 6 months there is a count of total points which get that person another surprise gift. Isn't that exciting!!! Smile

Lets be a sport and crack the code by ourselves or ask family members. NO fellow blogger's help allowed Very Happy

Non-bloggers can also participate. All they need to do - send an email, solve the riddle and send in the recipe, I (Siri) will post them on my blog at the end of this month!

[edit] In any case, if you didn't recieve ur riddle in 24 hours, please leave a message here in this thread or PM me..

So, Are u all set for the second edition of Open Sesame.. Lets get cracking then,,Laughing

Even though the riddle seemed to be tough, while reading it for the first time, it was actually easier than my previous riddle. Thank you guys. I think this time the competition is going to be tough not because of the riddle, but because the no. of participants are going to be more.
