Re: Park Pool Winners
Thanks for all of your input David, and for hosting this site. It was a fun "hunt" (online only, for me), if pretty confusing. I kept hoping to see a song clue
Park Pool Winners
I suppose now that we know the park without a doubt, we might as well announce the park pool winners. Cherokee did fill up all 20 spots so each pick was worth
Re: Never Bet on the Cluewriter Being Brilliant
To be honest I didn't catch the inconsistency you point out but that is a good point. At the very least the cluewriter could have found a different rhyme to
Re: Never Bet on the Cluewriter Being Brilliant
You have a point here that is probably worth emphasizing for learning how to deal with these clues in the future. The years I tend to be most off track are
Re: Never Bet on the Cluewriter Being Brilliant
Thanks for the effort. It was certainly fun as always, I regret that the weather prevented me from driving to the cities for the activities. The problem I had
Re: Never Bet on the Cluewriter Being Brilliant
David thank you for the recap. You are being astutely "nice" by giving an overall C+ as a final grade. I'm not a writer. I'm a graphic designer and think
Re: Never Bet on the Cluewriter Being Brilliant

P.S. I just want to add, I'm not trying to be down on the cluewriter. I had fun this hunt. I had fun last hunt. Heck, I was in the right park by Clue 9 this
Re: Never Bet on the Cluewriter Being Brilliant
As always, David- excellent recap. I really appreciate the loss of points for obvious errors- like the misspelling on Anchors Aweigh. If we're expected to get

Fun summary David. In addition to what you've noted, don't you also have a problem with inconsistency in the explanations given for Clue #2 & Clue #5. If the

This year I didn't get to experience the same level of frustration with red herrings and ambiguous clues since I started so late. I grew weary of trying to get
Re: Mock Hunt
Good morning David and fellow hunters! It is always sad for me when the hunt comes to an end – especially since I wasn’t the one to crack the nut and
