Here's a not-so-new contest/campaign Dorito's is running. It's basically a long series of puzzles split up into three chapters. Each chapter was released one week apart, but the contest has been going for a few weeks and all three chapters are now open. Those who make it through all three chapters will have a shot at solving the final puzzle at 12:01:00 am CT on 6/16/08. The first three people who solve this final puzzle will become finalists and compete at (what we assume will be) the Luxor in Las Vegas for $100,000.
Account creation is required, but it's quick and simple. You won't be able to create your account until you've solved the first mini-puzzle which is to decode the new flavor of Dorito's.
For those who don't feel like decoding this puzzle, the answer is beneath the tag:
The puzzles are fun to try and solve yourself, and they tend to get incredibly difficult as you reach the end.
If you'd like a walkthrough to any of the puzzles, I've found the following thread to be incredibly helpful:

Just remember, you won't have much help when it comes to the final puzzle, so you'd better get good at solving them on your own.
Sorry for the late notice, but I figured someone on CAG would have posted a thread about this, already. You still have about five more days to get through the puzzles (before the final puzzle is released), so a little bit of hard work should get you there.
Good luck, everyone!
