Sorry Cathie, had to step away from the computer for a while after completing that challenge. LOL Lurk posted the clue earlier tonight under the show thread. It read: The clue is; Phrase: Sense will guide you Thomas Paine wrote "Common Sense" so I thought maybe there's some tie-in there...but of course I have no idea at this point what it would be. Tatam, that little inset symbol toward the top of tonight's piece reminded me of a railroad track for some reason. The other part almost looks like a lower case "i", or possibly another map key symbol. ??? Had to take a break and go watch my RR/RW challenge. I taped it earlier since I was into trying to figure out the new clues.

The inset (sunken) part that I mentioned was in between the railroad track thing and and lower case i. I didn't even have a guess on how they help you figure out the location. I was thinking that once you get the rest of the puzzle pieces they will have one or two pieces on either side of a sunken part. Then the goal would be to get the piece out that tells where the treasure is. Or It could be...one of those brain teasers that you have to figure where they give a picture plus words like man board man over board Ok, I know there are no pictures in this but I've had trouble with graphics already today so I won't push my luck. I will however say "good night all" because I'm having a hard time understanding the possibilities that I'm supposing and I'm getting a bit loopy. I blame it on the "logs" though and being tired.

There are some interesting theories posted on the NBC message board site in the Treasure Hunters area. I'm not sure if it's okay to spoil here, and not sure how to do the black background, so I guess the safest thing for now is to point you toward their message board. All theories, mind you, but some sound promising. http://www.nbc.com/boards/TreasureHunters/

Whoami, thanks for the excellent instructions on how to cross the stream. DUH, now I don't know what to do after looking at the books to get rid of them and get back to the game. I guess I'm having CRS tonight and can't figure it all out. I used my "Insurance" earlier tonight to get across the stream so it's gone. Got to the cabin and looked at the books and got stuck so have to start all over. How do you get the game to continue after looking at the books? I would like to get tonight's puzzle piece.

Starshine, don't know if you are still on or not..but look at the symbol on the wooden box in your backpack...then click on the book with that symbol. That will tell you whose box it is. You type in the answer and then get your piece. I did the exact same thing as you did with the insurance...then losing everything I'd gain. I owe Whoami, Tatam, and Cathie for all helping my addle-brained state earlier tonight!

OMG I woke up...before going back to sleep thought I'd give it one more try. Came back here hoping that help picture would have magically reappeared but no such luck. Reread everything and was totally stuck in that sort of box. I could see how to end it, but I kept getting stuck on one rock. So if anyone is still stuck let me give the advice that would have REALLY helped me. You need to go back and make sure you have both small pieces up with you to complete that sort of square combo right before the end. Then when you do, you will be able to use the long log for the last 2 moves. PHEW!!!! Good lesson in how not to overdo it and work it out with your eyes. I wasn't getting it from the clues (though at least I knew I had to go to each log). But at end it was just visualizing how to do it with the size logs we were given. PHEW! Never did get to the cabin though...did you have to do that? It said I solved it. Just got the box and used ask.com. I am going back to bed and hopefully sleeping till daylight! Darn bad back!

I couldn't get to sleep so just tried the game again for this week and was able (with your excellent instructions ((((Whoami)))) to finish it. Just don't have my "insurance" policy anymore so hopefully I can get by without it. Thanks to Whoami and everyone else who helped.

Lurk, if you were able to answer the question when the box first appeared you would not have needed to go to the cabin. Great job! I needed the clue from the cabin. I guess it is important to play the clue game during the show but I had taped the show and watched a few hours later so it was too late for that game for me.

Cathie...I'll be honest...I followed the posted link to the NBC board where someone posted the answer. I didn't take it at face value BUT when I saw it matched up with some of the Ask info I felt safe in using it. It anyone wants me to post it I will. I still feel I missed out by not seeing the cabin after all that work to get to the other side lolol. I wonder if those of you who used the insurance can reload and play the game from the beginning cause from what I read it's gonna get a lot harder (heaven help us all...well least we can't say they dumbed it down lol) Although after getting it I still say it was a great lesson in not to over work something and just to look at it first. I think if I worked it out with my eyes...and read the hints to first go down then up...I think I would have done it MUCH faster. I'm still totally confused why I never got back to where I stopped last week in a room with a book but I can only guess that would have taken me out the helicopter. Another good lesson I learned is to be sure to look around and make sure you have everything. I say this after having to fly back for the shovel and almost missing the compass lol. Watching hollar if you need help. It was more frustrating than fun at first but I think it's cause I let it get that way. Just be sure to remember to use all 3 pieces as you go and not leave a small one behind. I took a couple screen clips where I was going to show where I was stuck right before the end...so if you have the same trouble I could post and explain what I was doing wrong. But don't want to ruin the chance for you to play first. Just remember you will have to step on every rock, start by going across, then down, then up in sort of a square then across. Just read that a few times then sit and look at rocks as if they are a maze. Good luck!

Where I had gotten stuck on the logs was figuring out the last 2 moves with the long log after getting the 2 small logs in the upper right hand area. Whoami's instructions finally gave me the answer.

I'm not sure, Pamy, but I tried that last week and was too late on Friday evening--it said the answer submition period was over. You can still play the game, just not submit a guess for the final location, and since we don't know enough to make a good prediction yet that might not matter.

Pamy I didn't get back to play part 1 so did 1&2 last nite. Only problem was it started me in a different place from exactly where I left off (I had started a bit) so I was confused. And unlike Cathie it did let me guess (I'm certain I was wrong). Don't know if it made any differance that I had started it or what...but just incase you might want to at least pull it up then go back to it when you have time. Good luck!

NOTE NOTE NOTE!!! I was reading rules < nothing better to do> it seems that you are allowed 1 guess each week up to 8 guesses. the series is 9 episodes long so if you guess each week your 9th week guess will not count. also you can have multiple accounts but still only 8 guesses per family per address. so you would not want to start guessing until after week six if you had 2 accounts for a total of 8 there were a couple of other things that seemed quite wierd in rules once i find them again i will post those as well. also anybody else that has some really boring time go read rules and confirm what i am saying please

I had a message that my phone number was being checked at the end of the registration. The message stayed posted for like 10 minutes so I gave up on the process. Was I just being dense or did anybody else have this problem?

I didn't get that Ritfie so dunno...sorry. maybe the page just froze?? I wanted to post a last call if anyone needed help with the log puzzle. I had taken some screen clips to ask for help, but once I got it saved them incase anyone else needed a road map lol. Figured I could easily show what I had been doing wrong on them. But cleaning up my desktop and about to nuke. So thought I'd just make sure no one still needed it. So lemme know...I'll delete tomorrow if no one needs! BTW interesting Jrs..thanks! Like most things with this game it confused me more but I'm getting used to that. I thought you had to guess along the way and to qualify at least one has to be right. Did I understand that incorrectly, or is this just about the final answer?

go into the house. look on the bookshelf. one book has the same quill as the box. who wrote that book? click on the backpack below. click on the box. the question will appear and you now have the answer (the "first" owner of the box). ta da!! now you have the next word in the final clue "IS". "WHERE IS....." anywhere. take a wild guess. don't enter the same guess twice (that's a wasted guess). you only have to have the correct location entered once to qualify for the final drawing. hopefully near the end we'll have it narrowed down and maybe someone in TVCH will be a finalist. 'squeek'

Thanks Kona. I managed to figure it out. I think I had read the name somewhere on the boards so when I saw it among the books, I knew it was the right one! Thanks for the help. Those logs were driving me bonkers and then when I saw how it went, sheeesh... so easy, I did it in a min. I just never thought to carry the long log to that last rock when there was that half rectangle and I was getting frustrated! I'm sure I'll be asking for help this coming week!!! LOL
