It was to be the biggest contest held by Metallica's fan club to date: Pick eight lucky winners and send them out on the road for a full week with the summer tour. All expenses paid in full by the club...their own tour bus, all food, lodging on days off, spending money... |

Surely an opportunity this valuable was not to be given away in any old contest drawing. No, these eight winners would have to complete a word puzzle difficult enough to stump even the brightest of fans. |
|
The idea behind the puzzle was simple. Given a number and a corresponding set of letters, determine the phrase behind the clue. For example: |
| 4 MIM | = | 4 Musicians In Metallica |
Have trouble with some of them? You're not alone. Only twenty-two
people in the entire world got them all correct, and eight of those
were selected to become professional roadies for a week.
