As I’ve stated before – to make this fair I will skip a day between 9 and 10. I will posted ~24 hours in advance what time I will be sending out the final challenge. That way everyone can have the same chance to solve it.
Challenge 7 has been sent out (only 3 people so far). I guess if you were to rush through the next challenges theres still time to catch up! |

Sigh… I kinda wish this were automated, so I can actually have a fair chance of catching up… I got Challenge 3 and solved it within 10 minutes – 7 of which was spent cross-referencing Wikipedia to solve the trivial part of the challenge. Now I’m’a probably have to wait 4 hours to get Challenge 4 Log in to see images! |

Eh, on weekends I have a life… sorry I can’t sit around refreshing my tubmail inbox. Mon-Fri I’m at work, and during work hours I can respond much faster.
Besides everyone will have a chance to play catch up between challenge 9 and 10. |

I am enjoying the challenges, BP or not. Much gratitude and respect to HoG for putting this together and all the effort involved in running it. It is my kind of thinking, I’m just much too lazy to do something like this. |

It’s funny to see people getting stuck on ones that I flew past, and flying past ones I’m stuck on. It’s very well balanced.
But I could REALLY use a better hint than an additional riddle for #4. I solved #3 in just a few minutes, and I think that “are you lost, Alice?” hint really doesn’t help at all (was there a different challenge for #3, that got changed?). So I doubt the hint for #4 is of any particular use either…
I downloaded Google Maps. I plotted each item. I can’t find any mathematical or visual correlation between them, other than their grouping. It’s killing me… |
