Artemis Fowl and The Time Paradox will be released on the 7th of August 2008. To celebrate the sixth Artemis Fowl book EoinColfer.com and the number one Artemis Fowl fan site Artemis-Fowl.com are giving you the chance to win one of ten proof copies of the book. Ten lucky fans will get to experience their own time paradox by reading the book from the future!
In true Artemis style this is highly complex, only the finest criminal masterminds will be able to crack this conundrum.
The EvidenceArtemis has been up to his hacking tricks again and left some cryptic messages around our sites. There are six in all and we believe that they make up one
single word in gnommish. What we don't know is whether these deeds have been committed by a past, present or future version of Artemis. So be on the lookout for temporal anomalies.
We have managed to intercept some communications from Artemis in relation to this case but knowing Mr Fowl these snippets of information may serve only to confuse rather than elucidate.
"Six years to the day. An important development in computational complexity theory. Polynomial time."
"Our first major contact. Lettre d'information. Douze mois dans le passé."
"Memories, a young boy in a hat. The writing is on the wall, a symbol of the future"
"A statement from the future. Written evidence of what's to come."
"The same time, same date but in a palindrome year"
"Answers from the past. Infiltrated words of the creator. The 10th."
Once you have tracked down all six letters you must arrange them into a word that will most likely have some connection with Artemis and his adventures.
Once you have deduced the answer you can enter your details here:
