Want to be the first to play Halo 3? Want to see and experience Halo 3 in all its glory on an IMAX screen? If you answered yes to one or more of these questions then go and enter Pontiac's Be The First promotion. We say this only because you could win a ticket into a New York or San Francisco IMAX play session or win a copy of Halo 3 to be delivered to your door on September 24th, which is one full day before your friends will get their copy. If your interest is piqued, head on over to Pontiac's Be The First website (US residents only) and sign up. Once all signed in you'll have a chance to enter both giveaways separately by completing some sort of puzzling puzzle. Yeah, it's a tad bit tedious, but it's for Halo 3 so suck it up and play their mind games. Also note that you can enter once every day, so keep heading back for more chances to win. We smell winners amongst us, now who could it be?

I "won", but the ticket that you print off says that there are a lot more rewards than there are seats, so it's sort of a hybrid "chance to win" with a "first come, first serve".
I'll transcribe what it says:

I was talking with the friends of mine that I'm doing this with, and the Cambridge answer isn't relivent anymore. That same "not a winner" message has been up for a while now, which is why I didn't mind saying what the answer was.

Which one did you do: First to play, or first to own? Is the 'riddle' the same for both?

For those complaining that they're giving 2500 tickets for 200 seats, recognize that a huge majority of winners will be too far from the sites to bother going. Like me, for instance.

@BobTheMonkey
First To Play is a puzzle. First To Own is been two questions (the same two questions for over a day, with the same message when you win).

I used an anagram solver online. Google "anagram solver" and enter in the anagram. It may take some good google research to find a solver that will find city names. Good luck!
