Dear Puzzlers,
We've hit the 3-month mark, and we can't begin to thank all of you enough for your participation and enthusiasm. Since the start of the contest on 5/20 we've somehow managed to tally over 200,000 (!) page views. 38 different players are already confirmed prizewinners, and over 1800 correct answers have been submitted from puzzle-solvers around the world, including players from Australia, England, and Belgium.
The contest continues! Click the new trophy icon (at the bottom of the website pages) to see all the contest winners so far and to see which prizes are still available.
52 Master Pieces, inside the numbers (5/20/16 through 8/19/16):
206,173 = page views
118,200 = minutes the site has been viewed
1,597 = number of players
686 = officially registered players
13,631 = attempts to solve a Master Piece (by registered players)
1,809 = correct Master Piece submissions (not including the Practice Piece). Don't be discouraged by this number if you haven't yet solved your first Master Piece. We are amazed by the number of talented puzzle-solvers out there.
38 = different prizewinners, so far
25 = players who solved all 52 Master Pieces and successfully redeemed the Grandmaster Key. Be sure to click on the Hall of Fame button on the top right corner of the Winners page to see the full list.
9 = donations through the website's Paypal link to help us support the Gathering for Gardner Foundation. If you have enjoyed the site and believe in the value of enthusiasm-based learning, please consider making a donation today.

Here are just a few of the amazing projects that The Gathering for Gardner Foundation helps support:
The National Math Festival
Celebration of Mind
The Julia Robinson Math Festival
We know that many of you are eager to learn the solutions to the puzzles in this contest. We're looking forward to this too, but until all of the prizes have been claimed, we don't want to spoil the fun. That said, anything short of revealing a complete answer is fair game here on the forum.
As always, we welcome any questions, comments, or feedback you'd like to share....either post here or e-mail us at 52masterpieces@gmail.com.
Wishing everyone well puzzle-wise and otherwise,
David Cohen, Steve Geller, and Steven Cole
