    As part of the negg festival, neopets have released a logic puzzle:

    http://www.neopets.com/neggfest/y14/logic.phtml

    We must figure out who has the "clockwork negg" and where they took it.
    Answers can be changed after submitted however the earlier you guess, the better the prize. :)

    So far it seems that the list is narrowed down to (at most) 6 people/place combinations:
    You can have:
    1 rutu took it to shenku,
    2. Selvin took it to Kiko Lake
    3. Selvin took it to Altador


    If you assume that Selvin is NOT taking the negg we only have 4 choices left (the reason you could believe he did not take it is in the first journal entry "The team's remaining members will be taking different types of Neggs to four other destinations.
    For instance, the wizard of the team (whose name is Selvin)") :
    1. Rutu at Shenku
    2. Ricky took it to kiko lake
    3. Ricky took it to Lost Desert
    4. Ricky took it to Altador.

    This is as far as I got, I hope this helps

    Yeah I had a guess of hurok to lost desert yesterday but he was ruled out so I now have ricky to kiko lake on the assumption that kiko lake needs some action haha

    For those not aware you have to work out where the clockwork negg is going and who is taking it. Its a logic puzzle and below is the know information so far.


    Entry 2
    Now that the team has been assembled, we've begun gathering our provisions, packing our things, and figuring out where the mysterious Clockwork Negg will be hidden (as well as who will be the one to protect it) . One thing we've decided is that, to throw off those that might seek out the relic, the team's remaining members will be taking different types of Neggs to four other destinations.

    For instance, the wizard of the team (whose name is Selvin) insisted on not going to the Lost Desert—something about a fear of Scamanders, apparently. That was fine with the rest of us, so it's been decided that the wizard would go elsewhere. Meanwhile a team member named Voughn, who appeared quite taken with the look of the cloud Negg, insisted on taking that one to its destination. Again, there was no argument from the rest of us, so that's set

    Entry 5
    Today was the day that we settled on who would be going to Shenkuu. One team member, Rutu, seemed particularly enthusiastic to be going, saying that it had been a longtime dream to visit such an exotic location. Another mentioned that now is an ideal time for stargazing, since the night skies are unusually clear this time of year. On the other hand, things got kind of awkward when the knight of the group stated that being the one to transport the clockwork Negg was absolutely out of the question. Nobody else had an issue with doing it, though, so it didn't become an issue.

    Entry 8
    It seems our wizard is not so fond of Brightvale, either. Could a sudden plague of Scamanders have taken over King Hagan's realm, too? Anyhow, the traveller responsible for delivering the glass Negg was more than happy to go there. Speaking of the glass Negg's transport, it certainly seems like that would be a lot of pressure to live with—after all, one misstep or accidental drop, and smash! There goes your precious cargo. On a lighter note, luckily for our volunteer, they've had unseasonably good weather along the route to Brightvale lately; here's hoping that it continues 'til the journey's conclusion.

    Entry 9
    A decision was made today as to who would be transporting the Clockwork Negg. In the end, Hurok was excused from consideration due to claims of "not liking the look of the thing." Let's just say that, if not liking the looks of someone were grounds for exclusion, then our pal Hurok would've probably been gone long ago. The group's explorer has been ruled out, as well; among the many reasons the explorer gave was that the whirring of the Negg's gears made it difficult to sleep (I for one, will be relieved once the explorer's snoring is no longer around to keep me from sleeping at night). Speaking of sleeping, it's been a long day, and tomorrow is looking like it could be even longer, so I'd best try to get some shut eye.

    Yea, I know it's a bit late, but all signs point to Rutu as the one going to Shenku with the clockwork negg.

    Also, if you notice, the neggs correlate with a particular place's thing they're known for.
    Sand = lost desert
    Glass = Brightvale
    Cloud = Altador
    Plant = Kiko Lake
    Clockwork = Shenku

    The correct answer is Rutu to shenkuu and you have 19 hours left to submit this guess.
