I got through! The recording said that the winner will get a call within 72 hours.

It would be so awesome if someone from here got the big money. Good luck to all of you Pushers!

Oh, I hope you're right! I'm just having fun realizing that I got close. I'll bet someone else won, but I'm enjoying the possibility that I might have done it.

Bet the show won't seem so lame anymore if you get a big fat cheque in the mail!

I don't have time right now to go find the original thread, but in the rules, I think that they said that the phone lines would stay open for 12 hours, or until 5 people completed the puzzle, whichever came first.

I think this means that you're one of the first five, Bebo. I really hope that you win... good luck!

Okay, so I'm crazy and should be getting the kids ready for school instead of looking thru this craziness...but

From the Rules:
The Entry Period will remain open for a period of six (6) hours following initial disclosure of the Final Clue or until approximately 25 contestants have successfully entered, whichever first occurs. During the Entry Period, each contestant after the first to have successfully entered will be deemed an alternate ("Alternate"). Alternates will be ranked based on the order in which their entries were received, with the earliest entrants ranked above entrants coming thereafter.

Your in the finals Bebo and I really, really hope that you are number 1 on that list!!!!!!

Did anyone one else have the same problem I had last night? I figured out the code and called in. The voice on the other end of the line said, “Congratulations. You have solved the mystery of Push, Nevada…blah, blah, blah…” Then the voice went on to explain all the rules to me. It said I would need to leave my name, a phone number where I could be reached in the next 72 hours, and alternate phone number, etc. So, I left my name, and the voice played back my voice saying my name to me and then it said something like, “If this is correct, say, ‘Yes.’ If not, say, ‘No.’ Sorry we could not understand your answer.” It hardly even gave me time to answer! Well, it gave me another shot and I kept saying ‘Yes’ into the phone, but it told me again that it did not hear me. Then the voice told me if it did not get an answer I would be disqualified from the contest. I was thinking, “I didn’t come this far to make it to the final 25 people to lose because some stupid machine can’t hear me saying ‘Yes’!” I finally got past the name part of the call and made it to the first phone number. This one went the same way until the voice said something like, “Please hold while we connect you to a live operator.” At this point I thought everything was fine. After about half-an-hour of waiting, my wife called the number on my cell phone and got the message I’m sure many of you heard dealing with the fact that they already had enough participants, and I was still on hold. So I waited, and waited, and waited. After almost exactly one hour, the voice came on and gave me the message that said they had enough participants, and it hung up! Is this some kind of sick joke?! Did I lose on a technicality?! Did anyone else have this happen? I couldn’t believe it. After being on hold for an hour, they hung up on me because their stupid machine couldn’t understand my voice, is what it feels like. Now, how hard would it be to get one person to answer a total of 25 phone calls? That’s all it would have taken!

Does anyone have any similar stories from last night?

You got soooo burned. Follow up...call LivePlanet, call Touchstone. Call somebody.

Who the heck is going to believe me? Besides, I found another person that the same thing happened to. We're wondering if this is part of the whole plan. They have our names and phone numbers. They know how to find us.

I wonder if they got more phone calls than they were expecting. They probably thought 'Nobody is watching, nobody will figure it out'. They probably didn't think that the few that were watching were actively participating in the show!

I got a chuckle when I read the rules and it states something to the effect that if the puzzle is not solved in x hours, they will start giving out the episode clues one by one until the final puzzle was solved. Can you imagine if the audience was that apathetic...wow that would mean that the show tanked beyond their wildest imagination!

JonathanI,

The voice recognition also failed to recognize my "yes" until the 3rd try, and then it also failed to recognize my "yes" in 2 other places, but I was finally able to get through the call. It sounds like their voice recognition technology could use some improvement.

I got in at 8:28 p.m. Central time. Ms. Bebo, what time did you get in? Have they contacted you? I've been hanging around glued to the phone, but so far no calls from them. I consider my winning it would be a long shot because I wasted a lot of time trying to unscramble the letters to come up with a web site. Oh well.

Pretty much the same thing happened to me(as far as the recorder not being able to understand me) except I got transfered to a 'Live Operator". The live operator answers almost immediately(I didn't get put on hold), a woman says "Hello", I say hello and my name, she says "Hello" again, she can't hear me. She says hello about 4 times then says to someone else, "I don't hear anyone" and hangs up. I threw a fit and my phone, after probably 2 minutes I compose myself and call back. This time it takes my information. According to my cell phone, I made my second call at 9:24. This means my first call was between about 9:11 and 9:15. The clue was given at 9:06.

The whole situation just makes me sick. I will pray for Caller ID.

MastaCow,

It sounds like you beat me. I'm actually glad you got in before 9:25 p.m., so I don't have to bang my head against the wall for all my telephone problems and thinking "what if?". Do they give a consolation prize for the person who has to overcome the most technical difficulties? Good luck on winning!

If my first call had gone through, I might be real excited right now, but there is no way 9:24 will win. I'm not that smart and a long time went by between my first failed call and my second completed call. The thought of missing out on $1,000,000 because of a phone problem is really disturbing. My wife couldn't sleep last night.

Bebo, hon, have I mentioned how much I admire you? You're such a pretty girl, with such a big heart and such searing wit. When people ask me who I most admire, I tell them, "Bebo, for she is everything I want to be, she is the model we should all live by, she is pure and woderful and magnanimous."

So, when you win the money... remember that, okay?

Femme

>Bebo, hon, have I mentioned how much I admire you?

Butter me up all you want, but I still won't let you beat me in Fantasy Football.

Ms. Bebo, I just got my ass to this board. I have to admit that everyday you surprise me a little bit more. I hope you won. Especially since I'm gonna woop your ass next week in FF

Best of luck honey
