Each puzzle will represent or in some definite way contain clues which will convey the idea of a name. The name may be that of a person, book, song, movie, city, state or nation. The earlier puzzles will be of the more elementary type, in order to assist contestants in familiarizing themselves with the principles for solving this particular kind of puzzle.
3. OLD GOLD will pay a First Prize of $100,000.00 and 999 other cash prizes (a grand total of 1,000 prizes aggregating $200,000.00) to the one thousand contestants, who by their submissions achieve the one thousand highest scores through solving puzzles they are called upon to solve under these rules, and who in all other ways conform to all of these Official Rules.
