A riddle? A piece of art? A friend sent me a link to this little piece of strangeness and I loved it so much I thought I would share it with you. Treasure Box (http://www.nanahiro.com/compe/main.html)

I completed it in about 10 minutes, but I've been told some people have a really hard time with it. The message at the end is worth it though.

Wow, it's really easy, but it's still pretty cool. The art reminds me of Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast for some reason...

It was fun but pretty easy - still probably took a lot of time for the creator. Thanks for sharing!

I'm stuck at the piano. I play the keys and the colored bar moves over to the right and that's as far as I can get.

That part had me stumped longest...just try moving it to various locations and you will eventually get it.

You have to get the helicopter under the ball and use the air to push the ball up.

And Courtney, if you just start clicking on things, you'll set it in motion.

well actually thats physically (literally) wrong. a helicopter uses its blades to push air downwards. so it shouldnt push a ball up.. so ill assume the ball is a magnet and the helicopter is also magnetic with the same poles lol.
aand of course im still stuck at the windmill...... but you can get to the helicopter by fastforwarding! (cheat)

Ahhh... but this is a world of whimsy, normal rules need not apply...

I finally figured out what the artwork reminds me of. It reminds me of Monty Python's Flying Circus!

Totally Monty Python-esque. I thoroughly enjoyed this. I'm big on riddles and such, I guess.

This was really cool. Thanks Heidi. :)
