I think it was. I was told once that they find you right away so you don't find someone who has a button to get more money. You know the sidewalk around the

playground, I was right down that hill on the west side of the playground. You can see the true value hardware from there. There were 6 of us digging there and

didn't come up with anything though. We were pretty thorough too.

Well I left at 1am and every bit of snow in between those rinks had been gone over. There really is not that much there when you get 300 people digging there. I

walked through it as I left and it had turned into a soft powder. If it is hidden in something white and is pretty small then it might survive hidden in a small chunk of

snow, otherwise it has or will be found in the next couple of hours.

I don't know Rupert.....there was a lot of people ...but that clue was kinda vague once again..

No user inform…

The tansluscent peak is the community center at conway. It can't be sun rae because those peaks, plural, are transparent. You can see through them. If they were

transluscent you wouldn't be able to see through them. Light would be able to pass through it but no objects are visible.

Slazenger makes white tennis balls. These are the kind used at Wimbledon. You know you cannot see the ice skating rinks from the tennis courts.

300 PEOPLE NO ITS MORE LIKE 500 PEOPLE. OUR THEORY IS ALIGN ALL 4 HOMEPLATES TO WHERE THEY MEET IN THE MIDDLE

BETWEEN ALL 4 FIELDS AND THATS WHERE THE MED IS. BECAUSE THE ICERINKS ARE NOT OF EQUL SIZE, AND THE LAST CLUE SAYS

EQUAL PLANES. WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK

I 1200 miles from St. Paul do you think it would be possible for me to know all about the park from the nonsense on the screen

Hmmmm... frozen planes... Yeah I guess they could be tennis courts. I think the word frozen implies ice, but not necessarily.
