Post any on-line hunt that you happen to come across and discuss them here.

she cut her parents down at practically every puzzle. Telling her dad that he's wasting time with the mirrors!! omg! she wasn't just whiney she was plain rude. Give peoples idea a chance --at least look at them funny as if their idea is crazy instead of cutting them down. :sillygrin:
And how many times do you think that has happened in his life with her? At this point in life he must just know to do whatever she says not to do. Works every time.
Although that may have been another editing thing and she really tells him that everything he does is wrong. Sheesh! :eyeroll:
also, like I was telling pops, I'm suprised they aren't using the internet a lot more to help them, I wonder if there is some sort of limit?
because it seems they have wireless cards in the laptops so they should be able to use internet while traveling.
just for hoots and hollars I messed around with ask.com and figured out how to get the message within minutes...
enter benjamin franklin spy, the 3rd result (and first one with any sort of info) has this...
"Invisible ink: Several kinds of invisible inks were used by both sides during the war. One type was activated with heat and others by various chemicals. The invisible message was usually written between the lines of another letter, which would appear to be totally innocent. Upon receipt, the reader would either heat the letter over a flame or put it into a chemical bath to reveal the hidden message."
Now when you actually get to the church, full of candles, if you already had that background info, you should be able to figure it out in less than 4 hours.
agreed Tim. I wondered why they didn't use their computers as well. There wasn't as much drama this time.
I could feel the pressures of working with a group and what you share and don't share. The Fogels shared because of the bond they made with the other teams and got shafted!
I thought the end of the episode was pretty good. For a bit I thought the geniuses were gonna lose out, but it was amazing to see it work out the way it did.
Do you think you need to be specific or just general? I guessed general two times now. It's different than where I think they're going on the show though.
Hmmm... well the only team left that I hope makes it is the Geniuses. Trouble is if the final episodes have a bunch of physical challenges, they'll probably be gone.
I could have never done that climbing challenge. I do know how to drive fast though. :smile:
Hey KC - You get through this weeks puzzle yet?
I needed to send the kid to bed and didn't want to finish it without her. But we got stuck at the oil fields. We'll give it another go around after work.
I last left it when we were in a truck headed to where they first discovered oil in Pittsburg or something. We looked that graveyard up and down and only found a key to the church. Don't say any more as I want to work with the kid on it again.
I like the DC puzzle. How detailed of a guess do you think they want us to give? Just DC? Or do we need to dive into where along the mall it actually is?
It's fun blabbing in their chat rooms. It kinda reminds me of this crazy bunch of winter medallion hunters I once seen in a movie. :cool:
Last week's challenge. Lotta Crabtree, that was some interesting history. My great grandparents last name was Crabtree (no relation I'm sure). So, at least it's been cool to find out some little known history along the way.
Very nice they included Sleepy Hollow this week.
I'm assuming they're looking for more info than just DC. Most likely they want to know the building it's in. However since I've been able to guess every week, I've tried a few different locations.
nah, I don't think they notify you. I'm assuming next week (the final challenge) will be almost a dead giveaway for where the treasure is (like the davinci code quest).
A Gold Rush clue is hidden in tonight's premiere episode of 'Survivor: Cook Islands'. So, if you tune into CBS tonight at 8pm et/pt and watch the show, you'll get valuable information that will help you complete today's challenge.
I can't watch - if you watch it will you please post the answer?
Sorry guys.... I was trying to play too, but it aint gonna happen...
I got #'s 1, 4, 5, and 6 (although it doesnt register that I did), and tried doing a couple of other ones... but my computer is too slow and crappy and violated with whatever it has...
I like the triva stuff though.... I'm too good at that stuff. :cool:
Sometimes you dont realize how good, until you're at a bar or whatever with friends, and you're consistantly the only one thats able to come up with right answers....
Tried a few different online games, only to find out that, yes, I solved some fun puzzles, but my skill at solving them wasn't rewarded. Unless you count the reward as solving the puzzle. In which case, there's a ton of sites out there with puzzles. There's other things I need to work on, or can improve, eventually with myself it comes down to time management, which I usually suck at anyway. So in the end, I'm going to start investing more time into some things I've meant to that I can improve at. Shoot, I kill enough time geocaching :wink:

woo woo
They must do that on purpose to get people to want to try it out. I yell at the screen similar to when I know the phrase on the Wheel. :eyeroll:
And for those playing the on-line game. This link is for you. Caution - it is a spoiler.
Hint

We should be on this show.

Not too many episodes left.

Yeah I finished it last evening. Liked the candle puzzle.
I coulda done the climbing, didn't look that horrific. However, a nice ride in an air conditioned car would've been just as good.
Lotta people think it'll be near the Star Spangled Banner.

I decided to guess the Capitol building this time in case they want to be more specific. And in case you missed it before;

I'm confused about this one....
