TREASURE HUNT RULES

This year's hunt will begin, Friday November 29th at 8:00 pm eastern (New York/North Carolina!) time.

At 8pm Friday the real hunt's questions will be posted to my yahoogroup in a message (& please note, it will only be posted to my yahoogroup, not my email subscription service due to the service frowning on hosting games).

In the result of a technical failure preventing me from posting the hunt questions on yahoo within a reasonable time (a half hour of the target date), a note saying what's up will be posted here and/or to my FB page (depending on the issue- if my internet is down I can't post anywhere obviously!)...

Again however; NO other details are planned to be released outside of the yahoogroup, and only if there is a technical issue (or a status update if there is time).

The 2013 contest was concluded when the first lucky 7 winners came in. You had until 10:30am eastern time on Friday to contact me with any questions you might have had about it at morgen@one-horse.net and artbymorgen@yahoo.com. For 2012 spring answers (click here).

How it works:

This is a treasure hunt, so you will have to puzzle out each question and a final answer.  To do so you’ll have to guess the answer to the questions, then go to that page and then find the seemingly random letter (it will be easy to see) at the bottom of each page over next to the copyright info. Not seeing letters at the bottom of the page? Try refreshing the page ->the letters will be in the lower left hand corner and hopefully big enough to be obvious. 

For the 2nd part you will have to take all of the letters you get to the first questions and unscramble them to answer a final question.

Hopefully it will take at least a few minutes and a bit of resourcefulness to search through the pages for every question (so in a nutshell, no one can simply use technology tricks in this type of contest to search through my website, you've got to think a little for this one I hope!!). It will help to know a little something about my resins (or at least where to look up information about them on my site!). :-) You didn’t expect it to be too easy did you?!!! Average solving time has come down from 45min to 15min or so in my first few letter hunt contests. Don't give up!! I will post to my yahoogroup & my FB page when all 7 winners have come in, and update this page as well. If you're wondering if you should still try, just refresh those pages to see.

PLEASE NOTE; IT’S EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT THE ANSWER FORMAT BE EXACTLY AS SHOWN BELOW so that you have the  “Email Subject” and “Email Text” information entered as shown in the EXAMPLE EMAIL (green box) below. If your email is not in that exact format, I can’t use your answers to give you a prize!

First person to (properly) report back all the correct answers will win a free traditional scale resin! (ppd in the US).

EXAMPLE HUNT QUESTIONS THAT WILL BE SENT TO MY YAHOOGROUP:

The treasure hunt questions might be as follows

Question 1)  Which sculpture of mine is the quintessential feminine rebuff?

Question 2)  If you wanted to have english or western tack made for this big gal, where are can you find her measurments?

Question 3)  If you wanted to know where we might get to meet in person, where could you look?

Question 4)  If you wanted my paypal address, what non-sales page is this on?

Question 5)  Where do I get all uppity (a little!) ;-) about the law?

Question 6)  What page says it will be updated in Aug or early Sept and is STILL not updated yet?

Question 7)  Where can you see giant mugs of my 3rd gelding sculpture?

Question 8)  If you want to look up info about an edition where would you start?

Final question

These instructions tell you ________________(answered with the unscrambled letter)

How to do it:

You can look & see that there are already letters on those very pages (and they won’t correspond to the example I’m making up here for what it’s worth).  When you get the final questions this evening you first must guess the correct page, go to it and find the letter.  Then Paste the letter you find  AND the page address (the http://..etc  url) next to each other as shown below.

IMPORTANT:  Please keep the answer formatted exactly as below so that I can easily determine the final winners in a very timely fashion! BELOW IS WHAT I NEED YOU TO EMAIL TO ME AT BOTH OF MY EMAIL ADDRESSES (morgen@one-horse.net ; artbymorgen@yahoo.com) FOR YOU TO WIN (I need to be certain of times winning emails were sent since this is time sensitive)...

CONTEST ENDS:  This is SO IMPORTANT to me as it's been a problem each time I run this.. When I post here that the the winners have been claimed I will also be putting up the answer sheet. So at this point I really cannot accept any more answers. Please keep an eye out on the yahoogroup, here and also on FB for the notice that all 7 winners have come in. I truly hate to have people working hard on this after all the prizes have been given away!
