2003 ThoseMedalingKids Mock Hunt

Submitted by ThoseMedallingKids on

Here is all the pertinent information on the hunt:

The TMK mock hunt will start on Wednesday, September 17, and end on Sunday, September 28.

Clues will be released at 9 pm each night.

There will be 12 clues in all.

The treasure will be hidden on public land in Ramsey County (stay out of the fairgrounds, off the indian mounds)

The treasure will not be hidden in a spot that will endanger hunters (along a cliff, under an electrical box, on the water of a lake/river, etc)

If there are questions or concerns, please try reaching me by email or egram. I will have my cell phone with me, but while I am at work it will be off. I will check messages during breaks though.

Prize will be announced. Donations are welcome.

Clue 8

At this park Fred saw the Matrix playing
God and Moses throwing up prayers but not praying
Also a Tractor drive by Magic
A Pistol shooting that isn't tragic

To sum up clue #8:

"throwing up prayers but not praying" - Basketball slang for a game winning last shot - Way ta go Timmers.

The following just confirms it all references basketball with NBA player nicknames.

Robert "Tractor" Traylor
"Magic" Johnson
"Moses" Malone
"Pistol" Pete Maravich
& ( I found this one) Shawn "The Matrix" Marion

I still like the 'a drive by shooting that isn't tragic' line to mean that a movie was shot there but it seems too hard to make that work with all the other references too. But who knows. Being an anti-TMK I might just not give him enough credit.

Great clue nonetheless TMK!

Then who the hell is Fred? :) ..perhaps its a reference to OJ's lawyers or something- hahaha

Clue Master

Well Moses Malone's real name Is Moses and not a nickname but you get my drift anyway.

There are tons of Fred's in the NBA, but I assume it's the gay guy who always wears a white shirt and pretty orange scarf.

This is what TMK asked CM-----The anti-TMK? Should I call you KMT?---
Perhaps this way of thinking can be found in the clues somewhere :)

What about "At this park"? I can't imagine there are too many parks if any that have tennis courts and not basketball courts, so that wouldn't be much of a clue if it just means there's a basketball court. Maybe there's a basketball arena with a useful name? What teams did these guys all play for?

I'm not sure how many have fallen off the list yet but I'm pretty sure that IM doesn't have one or maybe even Como, that I know of off-hand anyway. And those are big parks to eliminate if so. I gotta hit the hay otherwise I'd list them. Maybe tomorrow.

Wow,you guys were up late! I didn't sleep very well so I might as well have joined you. My back is acting up. :( And I'm babysitting two of my grandbabies this morning. And I have nothing new to add to the noodling.

I noodled all night long. I was noodleing to my self much of the night :) none of it makes sense. They were all random thoughts. If you see AW today, tell him the LA Lakers areana is-Staples areana

Good Morning!

Those anti-tmk things are just too funny. I almosted spewed my morning caffeine!!

I had this thought and just figured I'd mention it. With all the basketball references, the Minnesota basketball team is the Timberwolves.

There is a part of the Como Zoo that is dedicated to timberwolves.

Not that I really think it's at Como, but at this point, I figure anything that might make sense somewhere, should be put on the table.

Have a way cooler day everyone!

Have to get going. Babysitting two grandbabies this morning. Keep noodling and I'll be back later. Bye!

Hi all. I'm already back. That was a short night. My head hurts.

Thanks Tim. I think AW wanted teams too. He might have something there. Who knows?

A reminder that tonight I work from 3-10:30, so I will be emailing the clue out to various people.

Allison Wonderland

Well if they were all the same team, that might be a clue, or all at the same arena, but I'm thinking maybe that's not the case. So maybe it is just saying there's a basketball court.

Arlington-Arkwright
Baker
Battle Creek
Carty
Cherokee? (they're kind of far apart I think)
College
Conway
Duluth & Case
Eastview
Edgcumbe
El Rio Vista
Groveland
Hayden Heights
Hazel
Langford
Lawson and Rice
Linwood
Mattocks
Merriam
West Minnehaha
Mounds
North Dale
Newell
Prosperity
Phalen? (Too far apart?)
South St. Anthony
St. Clair

I guess this clue eliminated more parks that I thought.

There would be more eliminated if you could figure out some of the other clues correctly >:)

I noticed in the first clue he treats us like children where we have to not fight and use our heads to think -think=school
and then there is don't anger so don't fight- battle
and Star WARs and gangs usually fight getting under fur can be annoying or irritating- DesNOYer which is by KLBB music radio tower for note and rhyme

which I saw the radio tower and the U of M from Newell as well

I have a feeling about what park it is now, though I'd be hard pressed to explain it as anything more than a feeling. Now I just have to work up the ambition to drive over there and check it out and look around. I probably will a little later this afternoon since I have to be in the general area later tonight anyway.

was it from something I said in the last 1/2 hour AW?

Thu, 10/09/2003 - 10:30 AM Permalink
Allison Wonderland

No, it occured to me while looking through the Guide. It was something in one of the parks that fit the title of one of Aerosmith's CD's quite well and it seemed to me that it was not only a park where TMK would hide it, but it was also one we haven't talked about much which I think is also the case judging from some of his comments on the board.

If I'm right, it was more of what I think of as a "time bomb" clue. Trying to figure out what it means when it comes out is almost impossible. But when you do get a suspicion later on as to the right park, you can look back on it and think, "Now that clue makes sense. This must be it."

Thu, 10/09/2003 - 10:42 AM Permalink
ThoseMedallingKids

Actually there was a bit more to the clue and how it was set up. But I'll get into that later. I have been working on tonight's clue though, reworking it a bit, adding some more to help you guys.
