How to enter:
To enter the Contest, visit angelsanddemons.msn.com (the “Contest Site”) and follow the links and instructions to get a free Windows Live ID password (if you don’t already have one) and register for the Contest. Complete the registration, including your first and last name; a valid email address; your home mailing address, including your street number (P.O. Boxes are not permitted), city, state/province, zip/postal code and country; a phone number where you can be reached on or around March 28, 2009; your gender, date of birth, and Windows Live ID password.

(a) Round 1: After submitting the registration, you will be directed to an online, flash-based puzzle. One (1) new, unique puzzle will be made available each week; an earth puzzle (“Puzzle 1”), an air puzzle (“Puzzle 2”), a fire puzzle (“Puzzle 3”) and a water puzzle (“Puzzle 4”). In this Round, each puzzle will consist of three (3) levels of play and one (1) Photosynth clue. Follow the instructions to complete all levels of play for each puzzle, using the fewest number of moves possible, and finally unlock the Photosynth clue. You will receive a score after completing each level of play. For both Round 1 and Round 2 (described below) and the Tie-Breaker Round (described below), the scores for each level of play will be computed according to the following formulas (the “Scoring Criteria”):

Puzzle 1 score = (number of rotations) + (number of jumps) + (distance (per grid unit) the sphere traveled) + (number of deaths x 10)
Puzzle 2 score = (distance (per pixel) the sphere traveled) + (number of ‘air’ tiles used x100);
Puzzle 3 score = (total number of pegs placed) + (number of rounds needed to complete x10); and
Puzzle 4 score = (total number of moves) + (number of deaths x10).

You may play each level as many times as you like until you believe that you have achieved your best score. Once achieved, follow the instructions to submit your score. You may only submit your most recent score. In other words, if you do not improve your score with subsequent plays, then you cannot submit scores from earlier plays. The last score you achieve is your final score and will be used to determine whether you are a potential prize winner. You must complete all levels of all four (4) puzzles and unlock all four (4) Photosynth clues by the required deadline in order to advance to Round 2.

(b) Round 2: Round 2 will also consist of Puzzle 1, Puzzle 2, Puzzle 3 and Puzzle 4. However in this Round, all four puzzles will be available at the start of the Round. Each puzzle will have only one (1) level of play and you will have only one (1) chance to complete each puzzle. The first score you receive on each puzzle will be your final score and it will be automatically submitted. Follow the instructions to solve all four (4) puzzles using the fewest number of moves as possible. Your score will be determined based on the Scoring Criteria described in Section 5(a) above. You must complete all four (4) puzzles in Round 2 by the required deadline to record a score.
