TOPIC: A Quest for Heroes! – American Cancer Society Benefit "Cubes Cubed" $470 Raised!

5 fingers, 4 slots and cubes, 1 green slime cube, 1 hand, #100, 0, 1, 2, 5 and the #3 to get in...3 rows of 3 equals nine, nine, nine (or no, no, no in another language lol) or 27, 3 cubes still floating inside, the remembering of January (1?)....that's all I remember
Oh...all the blocks we've gotten are red

Following our Technic Artificiter, who is obviously skilled in math, Melissa’s idea, Charles places the four cubes in the hand in the order to multiply to a sum of 100, the hand retreats into the cube. They quickly cover their face with their hands in expectation of 4 cube shaped bullets shooting forth from the cube. Yet, they do not…

Instead, the number 100 flashes bright then dissolves away into the Gooey cube. The hand now reemerges with 5 blocks, four of which are all a shiny gray color and the fifth being a blood red gem cut into the shape of a cube.

Congratulations, you have revealed the next treasure item!!!




Upon further inspection of the 4 new gray blocks you see that the “1”, the “2”, and the “0” blocks are identical to the previous red blocks you submitted, all inscribed with the same numbers on all sides. But one of the four blocks is a d6 with the numbers 1-6 inscribed on individual sides. The hand again has 4 slots in it.

The quest continues and the voice speaks...

“Time marches ever on and on
Yet past is sought when naught is spawn
Whence comes the block from annum based
A gift is given when it’s placed”

What do you do?

If bids for the treasure horde reaches $125 you will receive a clue.

Note: The final top bidder from this quest wins the entire pot of treasure (bidding is not for individual tokens)

Does that he hand still have 4 slots?

Yes, apologies... it does. (updated the previous post to reflect)

Well crew...I'm apparently slow on the uptake. 0, 1, 2, turn the d6 to a 3. I don't really have any ideas

If talking about time marching ever on you could theoretically make 11/20 with the cubes that we have available. If we are looking for a date from the past I think that there are a number of possible options so we would need to figure out which date is important

This all assumes that we are looking for dates.

Once again I will take a random stab and place the 1, then the d6 with a 1 facing us, then the 2 and finally the 0

What does 11/20 represent?

In this case it would just be the next date that we could make with the cubes that we have available counting forward from today.

Specifically the line "Whence comes the block from annum based" makes me think dates. That was why i said that it was a random stab

Once per year. Could it be the end of the auction date? 12/02

Me thinks these treasure items be gaining some attention!

Well that escalated quickly!

You have earned a clue…and also two…

The gray cube floats to the forefront and as did the Garnet Cube, it begins to break through the edges of the Gooey cube revealing it to be made of a smooth pearlescent silver.

The voice then speaks once again…

“Place fourth the blocks
In past we’ve seen
But in a way
To match the teen”

What do you do?

Teen? Between? 13-19? We can flip the direction of the 6 to be a 9. 1and 0 is 10+ 2 is 12 +1-6 = teens (13-18). Not sure how to incorporate it into a meaningful date. That's all I got

Keep puzzling this out everyone. I'm sure there is someone here who will see the connection..
