1999 Pioneer Press Medallion Hunt

In softball you have 10 fielders and the 9th is right center, so third base second base and right center make a line...

all the parks may have a baseball field and a skating rink but very few will have a building with a 4 on the door...!!!

Graham,

Actually right center is #10, its the same as baseball but RC is the extra player so he is 10

the goalie doesnt count as a player in hockey... even strength is always referred to as 5 on 5... no offense to all the hockey goalies out there..!!!

hey Bill... reading the past clues to find out the placement of key components in the series is definitely wise if you catch trends BUT do not translate any of the current clues so they have meaning tied to past clues... i dunno.. do i make sense???

human 24.. if you can figure out what clue refers to what it's hidden in you dont have to bend your brain over the clue to see if it has meaning relating to the park!!!.. so there is some advantage to figuring out what it's in...

wanna hide the medalian

Tue, 01/26/1999 - 1:29 AM Permalink
Barton Fink

here let me explain why i think the numbers mean those 3 things...

1. the order of the words in both sentences... Numbers keep score and adorn the front door.... A nine and a five and ("and" splits the sentences) somewhere a four....So therefore i think "numbers keep score" goes with "9 and 5" and "adorn the front door" goes with "somewhere a four"

2. the word "figure" relates to skating and the 5 (#of hockey players on a team) also relates to skating

3. the 9 is the # of players on a baseball team and the scoreboard keeps score...

4 so therefore i am looking for a baseball Field, Skating rink, and a building with a 4 on it...

'numbers keep score' means 'numb-ers', as in numb and number...Broomball!!!

for the last time hockey has 6 players

Barton Fink

ANI.. for the last time full strength hockey teams are called 5 on 5.. the goalie is a constant... ever realize that when a goalie gets a penalty a forward or defenseman comes out??? that's because he's not considered a player...

I will scope out the capital and seek out hidden meanings Base camp is for now in fire watch mode. I will be the one smiling tomorrow i hope I have come to close not to score in this game. I feel lucky and have good faith that tomorrows awaits me. I will bring a laugh to whom ever guesses they may aswell look with me. I will find it and not turn it in for a couple of days. That would be funny and I don't think someone else has not done it, they have. One very very important thing be register don't get cheated out a extra five grand that would really suck. See you by the Big Norgy.

ok so be it.... so we're looking for a baseball diamond, a BASKETBALL COURT (not hockey rink, even though figure may still mean skating) and a building with a 4 on it...
