Well folks it's that time of the year again. I'm bored and school doesn't start until the 12th. So to pass the time I've decided I'm going to toy with you. Like pawns in a chess game. Think of it as practice for MacHeist 3.

Oh the fun I shall have.

So if you're interested, check out nfheist.wordpress.com and twitter.com/nfheist. New challenges go up every day and you have 24 hours to solve it.
There's a $10 iTunes gift card waiting for those few of you who will impress me.

Happy hunting.

Question: the iTunes card is US-only?

EDIT: Not a problem to me. I could gift it to someone in the US easily. Just curious.

Uh... Yes it is. That throws a monkey wrench into my plans. I'll update the first post on the blog with new prizes. Thanks for the heads up.

EDIT: Post updated, I'll paste it here too:

At the end of all the challenges, the three people that have answered the most questions correctly or have overall just impressed me will receive a $10 iTunes Card, provided they live in the US. Anyone outside the US can request the $10 to be sent via PayPal, or I can gift-purchase an app of your choice (max value $10 US).

Not entirely sure that you can gift-purchase apps...someone tried once for me...

We'll figure that out when the time comes.

But for now, THE FIRST CHALLENGE HAS BEEN POSTED!

Oh come on people, I've only gotten 10 replies so far. It's not *that* difficult!

Challenge 3 is up.

You sure the webpage is accepting the correct password ? It doesn't accept what I see inside the dmg...

(favourite paradox) This page intentionally left blank.

The dmg works fine for me, but the pie confuses me.

pie?!

what pie?!

<insert screaming here>

I got to the highlighted wikipedia text bit and died.

camel in disrepair.

braapo.mybrute.com

redrum is a red herring. Pie does not occur anywhere in this challenge. And remember, think "tiny"!

Yes, tiny reveals a handful and one which don't make a word...

(favourite paradox) This page intentionally left blank.

Thanks for the hint nfreader, hadn't noticed that bit before.

Is there any further clue-searching past the part which has nothing whatsoever to do with pie? Because I'm just about ready to retire and leave this thinking business to greater people...

camel in disrepair.

braapo.mybrute.com

Ah, oops.

How very odd...

The 9th day of Christmas (for Eastern Orthodox Churches) is January 2nd.

Hey wait a second! That's today!

I wonder what that means...

Please don't start for 2-3 hours! I'm about to leave for a little bit.

Whoops, I found a typo. If the binary gives you an F, it's actually a C. Sorry about that.

Lol, all I got from that is "The Lord is my shepherd" --- not sure where the nerf comes into play with that though.  I love that pic of the beard/wig --- very Moses like, lol.

Lol. XD

The only glitch with these member created heists is that no-one ever posts the answers.

From a spam free, orange team, land

That spoils all the fun!

Anyways, quick fact: I went back through my notes to see how brilliant I am. Turns out that I'm way smarter than I thought. I found myself asking "what the hell was I doing here?" more than once.

I've got some ideas for more stuff, watch this space.

Is this thing on?

Ah, yes. Good evening. It's been... a while, to say the least, but I feel confident enough in my abilities to confound and confuse you that I can bring you...

CHALLENGE EIGHT
New place, new email address, same great long-lasting flavor.

Let's get started shall we? http://nfreader.net/heist/ is your new home for further heists.
Challenge eight is in that directory, but remember to count it up and spell it out.

Good luck!

Green? The same color of some people’s eyes, or maybe a watermelon…. And now were in Delaware

I think I've got clue 3 & 6.

Clue 3 appears to be a number.

Clue 6: Google Maps.

Now just to figure out the first clue.

No.

(I solved this one a few minutes after getting home yesterday, a little over an hour after it was posted. To my embarrassment, I got hung up the most on clue 2 )

䷟䷽䷏䷁ — Dying of the Light.

Hmm. Ok then.
