Time. The fourth dimension. The ultimate mystery. The ultimate prison. Time, fleeing away from us like sand escaping from a ruptured hour glass - fleeing, flying, fading away. Leaving us with all our yesterdays, all our stillborn plans and ambitions, nothing but wreckage on the vast and indifferent sea of Time. But I have sailed that sea, charted those unchartable depths. Call me the Time Traveller, for that is what I am. Somewhen in Southern England I have concealed my winning secret box. If you can find it and unlock it (Big-hearted Arthur may be able to add some value - capital!), then you can claim my accolade and some of the Prize that my namesake won. But not everyone can do this, for I have hidden it well. Use the clues in this document, take the advice of my friend AR, do some lateral thinking and you may find it. £600 of prizes will be distributed to the gifted ones who penetrate my thoughts. However, your time is limited and you must submit your entry by Midnight 19th January 2000. To start, try to find my name and the Prize winning entry. All entrants must work through a Logica captain. Submit your entries to my agent in this time - Steve Hames. Any legible format of entry is acceptable, eg: email to [email protected], post to: 53, School Lane, Chalfont St Peter, Bucks SL9 9AZ, or internal mail to GMS/4.
