I thought tonights puzzle was easy. Last weeks log challenge took me awhile. This is turning out to be a lot of fun....although, I probably won't win a darn thing....... Wonder if anyone has figured out where the treasure is yet? I think I know....but I'm not telling.... ;)

Okay, here it is......SPOILERS BELOW Go to the doorway on the right, see the fountain. In the water is a lever, click on the water (lower left side) and collect the lever. Back Click on the flagpole, click on the trumpet to learn a little history, then go through the doorway on the right. Head toward the little shed, but before you go into the door, click on the rocks to the left. Pick up the gold gear. Back Now go into the doorway of the shed. Open your backpack and click on the gear and the lever to put them in place. Click on the lever and "raise the chain". Back up to the cannon. Aim at the chain when you see the ship on the right, try again until you hit it. A brick in the wall will open and you'll see a map come out of the bottle (and the cork will go into your backpack).
Go back to the fountain (door on the far right). Open backpack and click on the cork to plug the fountain. It empties, rises up, opens a brick in the floor. That is your next "artifact" for the table. "In Dark Times The Words Form". On the Clue notebook now we have "Where is the" circled words from the three clues. And we have three blocks on the table. 'squeek'

Challenge 3 accomplished!! Made a guess for the week....but who in the world knows if it's right! I always feel like I'm probably WAY OUT in left field somewhere!

Aus10, I thought this week's was easier than last week's too. I never would have made it through those logs without the help of a few of my TVCHers here. Kudos to them for sharing the "secret of the logs".

so are the guesses supposed to be an actual place, like a statue or something, or just a location? I didn't realize I was supposed to guess each week, so this is the first guess I have done. I had thought I could do all my guesses at the end, LOL.

Dipo, I've been making one guess (location) per week. So far it has accepted them all. The site says to be in the running for the prize at least one of your guesses has to be correct. I wasn't sure at first either how many guesses you could have...but it seems like one per week. Maybe you could go back and play the prior challenges to put two more guesses in?? I'm not sure if the website lets you do that or not.

Thanks for the help on tonight's puzzle. It really just walked me through it, lol. I had fallen asleep earlier and missed the first half of Kyle xy and was still kind of groggy during Treasure Hunters.

As far as I can tell from the online rules it seems to be one per week - we need someone to register on a new computer/new account now that there are three weeks past to see if you get your past guesses. My first week guess was Statue of Liberty. Second week I tried Jamestown. I'm not sure if we need a city, a building, or famous location. Think about the theme of the show. Remember that movie National Treasure? This show appears born out of that (an Americanized/Masonic version of DaVinci Code). So I'm thinking about famous American landmarks from Revolutionary times. Not sure how those artifacts we get will fit in, but I think they are a puzzle that we can move around on that table top - maybe a map? 'squeek'

you can re do all challenges, right??? I am thinking once I get all clues and have better idea what answer is I would go redo all challenges and put that guess in each time......anyone see a flaw in this plan?....it just seems to obvious to me to work LOL

I did notice two of the puzzle pieces on the table fit together due to a water mark. They seem to be small buildings from an aerial view. I guessed The Statue of Liberty this week, as the answer to the puzzle, but it has nothing to do with the clue this week. It seemed to go with last weeks clue about the water and inspiration.

I still keep thinking that the water/inspiration comment has something to do with the Reflecting Pool. This week's piece reminded me of the Washington Monument, which is close by. But then I keep thinking that it seems too simple to have the treasure buried somewhere right around the capitol. ??

LOL, I love all these guesses, but is it supposed to be something that was around at the time of the founding fathers? I was wondering that today!

OK - I created a new user and used an alternate email address on my work system, and I am able to do the previous challenges. So - the guesses are for the overall answer, not a different correct answer every week, right?

Just a reminder you are only allowed 8 guesses per street address/family/email its in the rules. my early assumtion that their are 9 weeks and only 8 guess is a bit off since there one of the things is to be at final episode that this must end week before. but still only 8 guesss total

I am ashamed to admit I am very ignorant of the National Mall, but that is what I had in mind with last week's guess when I got the second puzzle piece. I guessed The Capitol because I didn't know about the National Mall. At least I'm getting an education! Kc I think it is going to end up being pretty simple so many, many people will get the right answer (people like me). Thanks to everybody for the help with the National Mall.
