Third On-Line Scavenger Hunt:

First person to correctly post the answers to the following 5 questions will win 3 blue presents.

** I’ve tried making this harder then the last ones. Hopefully it will take longer than the 20 minutes it’s been taking.

*** IMPORTANT I would highly recommend not posting until you feel you have the answers to all 5 of the questions this time. You might give away potential answers to others, and they may win because you posted your answers too early.

Rules: You may edit your post, but the last time edited will be the time counted if you have the correct 5 answers. WARNING, if you post the correct 5 responses, then edit it before I lock the contest, your previous answers will be voided. Once I see 5 correct answers, I will lock the contest. Don’t assume that you have the wrong answers if I don’t lock the contest right away. I might not be paying attention to people’s responses and it may take me a while to notice your 5 correct answers. Good Luck!

Disclaimer: I try my best to find questions with only 1 correct answer. I’m sorry if there are deviations from this.

For example, If question #1 was “name the capital of France�

The correct format of your answer should be like this:

1. Paris

Answer all five questions like the above format.

Here are the five questions, good luck searching for the answers…..

#1. How many Extra-Inning games did the San Francisco Giants play in 2001.

#2. What United States City has the following characteristics?
a. City was incorporated in 1907
b. Mayor’s first name is Mike
c. had 1517 people living there in 1970
d. Average High Temperature in April is 77 degrees
e. there is a military museum in the town

#3. What wood has the following characteristics?
a. Found in South America
b. has been used in ship building and wine casks
c. Scientific name starts with the letter C
d. It’s a Hardwood


#4. What Dutch ship was attacked by 8 pirates in the 1600’s?

#5. What Frenchman added a cat to Hydra?

I have sum answers cos u made this pretty hard but are u allowed to tell me wot ones r right and wrong if i post them??

the only thing I will do is lock the contest when i see 5 correct answers posted. I will not assist in any other way.

One comment I would like to clarify, is that 77 degrees is in Fahrenheit(not celcius)... although that should be pretty obvious, sorry for not clarifying that as well as I should.

just want to check on #2, are you sure you didn't mix up two cities, one in canada, and one in us

the one in US has the second vowel as a, and third vowel as o

the one in canada has the second and third vowels as a, but has the military museum


*** EDITED BY MODERATOR ***

HERE'S ANOTHER HINT FOR EVERYONE. THE AVERAGE HIGH TEMPERATURE OF CITIES IN CANADA IN APRIL ARE AROUND THE MID-50'S. YOU NEED TO CHECK OUT THE LOWER-HALF OF THE UNITED STATES TO FIND CITIES THAT COULD HAVE AN AVERAGE TEMPERATURE OF 77 DEGREES IN APRIL

*** HOPE THAT HELPS ***

okay, here's an update to try to help people out.

First of all, nobody has the correct answers to question #1, #2, or #4.

Second, look at the population for question #2, it is a very small town. All guesses so far are for towns with lots of people in it.

Hope this helps. Good luck everyone!

oh crap temperature, duh, prolly doesn't fit the population one as well.(edit: okanagan and okanogan was the cities I was thinking, one in canada, one in washington)

this is strangely addicting, I've spent probably 24 hours combined in my free time googling for answers to this!

just don't close the contest or anything like that because of lack of guesses, I'm still working on #2, the last answer i need!

Kali :~)

Okay, sorry everyone it's been a very hectic October, and haven't had the time to take care of my contest like I had wanted to.

I want to award Odi with the prize, since he's the first person to get 4 of the 5 answers.

Here's a clue to trying to guess the answer to Question #2:

It's an air-force museum.

The first person to correctly guess the town, wins 2 blue presents for their efforts.

Thanks everyone for playing. I will try my best to get another contest up again soon, and will try to make it a little easier than this one next time.
