grrrrr

Wednesday, September 20, 2006

531,659 British Pound = 1,000,524 US Dollar

531,659 US Dollar (USD) = 282,513 British Pound (GBP)

Interbank rate +/- %

This means:

You buy 531,659 British Pound : 1,000,524 US Dollar

You sell 531,659 British Pound : 1,000,348 US Dollar

You buy 531,659 US Dollar : 282,513 British Pound

You sell 531,659 US Dollar : 282,563 British Pound

Median price = 1.88156 / 1.88189 (bid/ask)

Minimum price = 1.87716 / 1.87748

Maximum price = 1.88859 / 1.88887

Yeah, I used to know a guy that made money on foreign currency exchange. Trick is to make anything you gotta have a good amount of capital to exchange...

I figured a toilet overflowed up on the 50th floor or something and you had to go supervise the situation :wink:

Those are the clues for the last 3 challenges. I must be missing something because none of them had made sense to me at all.

Ahh. Just thought it was interesting, I've been on that ship before. Nothing quite like standing on a piece of history like that.

I'm not playing this game. I can't even figure out the main page at AOL. :chagrin: Some of the clues are pretty clever.

I'm watching people play at a spoiler site and am impressed at how well you two are doing. It sounds like people are having a lot of issues with AOL though?

One person at this site solved the most recent puzzles in 5 minutes! And another won $250 gift certificate at Best Buy.

Sounds like it would be really tough to come out top three, but there are lesser prizes to be won.

It's a start!

I got a check for $10 in the mail today from Coke! There was a promotion this summer where you bought four cases of Coke product for $10 and got a $10 mail in rebate. :smile:

I also won five cases of Coke product during the Olympics during that promotion.

Drink Coke!

I won $10 2 months ago with Pepsi -- drink Pepsi

I'm finding that we need highspeed connections to play many online games today (ie: gold rush and treasure hunters) - if I use dial up at home the computer just takes too long to load and I can't understand a word the announcers say because it's all broken up. I consider this the 'wave' of the current future. It's definately a step up in the progression of the internet and communications.

Saw this on the PP forums. The guy claims he'll have a final treasure hidden in the twin cities. Good one to keep an eye on anyway.

Seriously though, ask this dog where they went.

For those of you who did A Treasure's Trove, this is the sequel. There are 100 rings this time around, top prize is $1 million. The book came out last September, and so far not a single ring has been claimed.

ok, Its like any hunt...you can't know or be responsible for every idea that comes from a clue. The writer has 1 meaning/conclusion and people find 80!

who are big fans of Dr Pepper as well as avid geo-cachers, used clues revealed online at drpepper.com each day for the past 30 days to locate the coin, which was found near the Spirit of Confederacy statue in Sam Houston Park. The clues tested Laura's knowledge of geography, history and world events.

so if we entered our zip code our region woulda taken us to Indiana or Missouri? :frown:

Boston has freaked out about a few ad/media campaigns in their city. Remember the deal with the hidden electronic devices for that cartoon show.

Seems like other cities haven't had issues though.

I will agree it's bad form to go hiding things in cemeteries or other sensitive areas. People should realize especially in nation wide promoted hunts that a lot of people are going to be searching, and large groups aren't going to be respectful of things.

You guys need to get together and develop a consulting group and market yourself as advisors to cities and companies that want to do treasure hunts.
