Hang on...I think it might be the Jefferson Memorial. That's somewhere over that way isn't it? I have to go look up DC again. Dang it, only was there once in my life when I was working for the NHL and the All-Star game was there. I spent most of my time either on the beltway going to and from Landover, working or drunk lolol. I had scheduled a day to go sightseeing but should have known a crisis came up and had to work. All I ended up seeing was the Lincoln Memorial on the way to the airport and that was only cause I refused to leave DC w/out seeing one damn historic thing lolol. Made the cab stop there! But I was a rookie to the job myself I learned from that. But anyway better DC knowledge sure would come in handy now! But that shape looked familiar and that popped to head. Ok off to see if I can find anything. Also do you know if there is any name for that area of DC? Am I overthinking this??? lol

Stunner, you have to play the piano rolls in the saloon to make the picture on the wall open up and show the bags of silver. I'm not sure which roll triggered it, but you have to let each play all the way through before going on to the next (not more than 10-15 seconds each, I think.)

Try the fourth one from the left. Let it play all the way through.

Help! I'm working on this week's challenge and got to where I put the wheel on the wagon, but I don't know where I need to go. That player piano in the saloon made no sense to me. I couldn't find any bags of silver. Help!

Ok you guys get what this is right? It is the FULLY completed puzzle we get a piece towards each week (from the desktop). How about this. I don't want to get into any trouble posting it, so anyone who wants a copy just email me (my email is in my TVCH profile) and I'll send it to you. And if anyone is up for a discussion of guess locations I would love to join in. I just read a very interesting theory and think they are on to something. See my theory is we don't have that many guesses left and to be entered we have to get at least one right guess. I may play soon though cause I think I know what I want to guess this week, but in true Kaysar fashion I'm gonna obsess over it for at least a few more minutes lolol

I just went and looked at the game and can't even figure out how to turn the globe which it looks like maybe I need to do. Too late tonight to try to figure it out. Will try again tomorrow, lol.

Okay, I've been thru this week's challenge about 3 times now. I keep getting stuck at Lotta's Fountain when I'm unable to guess which cup the treasure is under. Now my screen is stuck on the jar with the "Will Work for Treasure" sign. Do I have to restart the challenge to get past this point? Yikes! I could never figure this stuff out without you guys! Any help is mucho appreciated!

Oh, Man!!! Those little cups just move too fast for me to see! They don't want to make it too easy, do they? (Darn! Wish I sure had that insurance policy I accidentally used on another challenge!)

I will email you Lurk--thanks! I lucked out on the cup game the first time I did it and guessed the middle one and it was right. I don't know if it would always be that one or if it is really random. No way my old eyes could follow those cups, lol.

Thanks Sherik! I must say my head is spinning from all I read last night. Thanks to BB getting vile I decided to use that time to browse/search for Treasure Hunters boards. BOY let me tell you there are some very good ones out there and TONS and I mean TONS of amazingly researched pictures that tie in with not only the online stuff but hints from the TV show. Quite interesting, extremely confusing lol. But a few posters made some posts that were very thought producing and interesting ways to consider this. Many have gone private cause (as I mentioned here) who wants to do all the work and hash it out to have someone just take the answer and use it. Of course reading it elsewhere hurt my feelings and I had to remind myself I had felt the same way lolol (although after that I DID post my guess hehe). I now have not one but TWO completed puzzle pictures. One poster was gracious enough to type the corresponding weekly clue on the appropriate piece and highlight what the circled word is. There is a great deal of banter about the order of these things playing a role. Me...dunno lol. Are any of you interested in really hashing this out together, comparing thoughts, ideas, web finding etc??? I think it would be fun and we only have a couple weeks left. I think the options would either be to do it here out in the open and if the lurkers just take the info we get over it, seeing if they would give us a locked thread somewhere but I would doubt it but you never know, doing it via email, or quickly tossing together something like a yahoo group. My gut says right now, after reading so many theories, that there is more to this than just one broad area, and I think it would both be more fun and more productive to do it as a group. So what does anyone think? And if you like the idea where should we do it. But since we don't have that many weeks left and at least one guess has to be right, think we should hurry up. BTW in the rules didn't it say you could play the game more than once? HOWEVER voting is ONLY in the active week. I was thinking that might be something to check so at least we could get in a couple different votes each week. So what do you all think???

Sherik, meant to say I think I got lucky with finding the first pic. I just googled it and kept changing the search criteria. The 2nd one I referred to I found on one of these big discussion boards. Don't recall if it's one of the ones that went private or not, but bet you that's what happened with the first one. A poster brought up how they were sharing info with lurkers and are they being rude not to want to do that (almost joined to see the newer stuff cause they are QUITE into it and had raised some of the most intelligent thoughts I've read). Still might lol. If you haven't looked you wouldn't BELIEVE how many map shots and diagrams these folks have been working on!!! Whereas I've been playing hmmm I'd say "seriously casually" is a good term, these folks are hard core!!!! And some quite clever! (Some very confusing too lol).

I'd be willing to try and participate in hashing these clues out with one another. Maybe we can bribe a Mod to set us up with a private thread where we can only get access to it if we've mentioned our desire here? Of course, I don't know how useful I'd be. I'm more like a Hanlon where I see a potential clue hiding under rocks that the producers never touched. LOL.
