Funny Farm (in Contests)

Seemingly many minds are better than one at solving this puzzle...

[Edit: Updated entry requirements]
I don't care how you get the answer or how you publish it, just show me the proof (eg, post a url link, email me a .pdf etc etc) and the prize is yours.
I've completed the puzzle and there's a key word showing in each corner mini-map that's a different colour from the rest. Give me those four words and I'll consider you the winner.

Winner gets $250k from my admin char with the prize increasing by $250k for every 24hr period that passes should a complete answer not be given (max payout $2m).

Sorry to say G_Beee, but atm a screenshot would cover 2 entire screens for me already. This puzzle is much more expanded than just that.

It grows as you enter things, I'm up to about 30 of those orange boxes, with about 22 filled in...

PirateKing October 23 2006 8:38 AM EDT

Yeah... it's quite a bit larger than just the one.

what is the goal of this puzzle?

bartjan October 23 2006 9:24 AM EDT

Find all words.

Maelstrom October 23 2006 9:26 AM EDT

Actually, no. There's supposed to be a hidden word or phrase in the four corners... I think. I only got about 5 pages opened up when I tried it a month or two ago...

AdminG Beee October 23 2006 9:36 AM EDT

On the mini-map there's 25 areas (5x5).

Poop. I did not even get into one of the corners. :(

Here is the entire completed puzzle, for anyone who's still keen to fill out every... single... box.

I'm obsessive

AdminShade October 23 2006 2:24 PM EDT

I find some of these words un pg, but that's just me...

*chortle*

the linkage of A.A. to religious cult has me snickering still...someone is a fan of an unnamed show starring penn and teller...
