Can someone help clear up some confusion?

My Sister was watching (both of us are enjoying TH!) but neither of us have been playing the game on TV. Lastnight, ..they were offering possible answers. She wants to know if the answer was Chest #2 or Chest #4, or maybe it was Kentucky vs Pennsylvania. I'm not sure even what the questions were.

So does anyone know? Or direct me to the website that's supposed to give this info? Thanx!!! Bisc

The answer was chest 5 Tenn. I'd be interested in discussions. I can't believe that something on that map isn't a major clue. I also think it would have to be less broad than just saying the National Mall. I have noticed that Jefferson is used more than anything else in the mall. Don't know if that means anything or not. I have read some of the other discussions and Lurknomore, u are right some get downright confusing. On one it is believed one of the players is a plant from the network, always has inside information. I haven't checked it in a while

Some where early it talked about the treasure being in water, and there is a lake/pond whatever in the National Mall in front of the Washington Memorial.

But where are our greatest historical treasures? The Smithsonian, BUT which one? Just throwing stuff out there.

ok well sounds like we have enough to at least have a good banter. Does anyone want to ask here...I'd prefer not to, and I don't think they would do it anyway. But if anyone wants to see and if I might be wrong that would be awesome. Otherwise anyone know which is currently the best free site we can just grab quickly.

I found one awesome breakdown of ideas that I think would be a GREAT place to start discussing. It covers a lot of what Sherik said, um sort of lolol. I have a good feel about us brainstorming. Heck can't hurt right?

Hey Thanks Sherik!

I will relay the answer to Sis. "The answer was chest 5 Tenn. "
But for my own purposes, do you mind telling me what was the question as well ?

I have the silver bags, but I can't get the cup game to do anything. Any clues?

Annie, click on your backpack and click those silver bags into the "Will Work for Treasure" jar. Then you get to play the cup game. Good luck!

I have the silver bags but have no idea how to determine which one is being degraded by sand in only 2 moves. I think I'm a hopeless case of some of these which are probably really easy for some of you.

Do any of you remember back in the first episode when talking about the treasure they mentioned that it was protected by a secret society? I'm sure I know what that society is.....the little bits of info the brain retains sometimes amuses me.

Ok, figured out the bags and got to the wagon. I don't see a wheel to fix it with...Got the wheel, got to San Francisco...gambled and lost...started over. Couldn't find the wheel the next time thru....will quit for tonight, going back to BB threads...lol.

1 do three bags on each side of scale. that makes it 3left \3right \3on table you can break it down form there with second guess.
2 wheel is to the left of cash register after you do the bags.
3 san francisco is destination
4 shells are completly random but i refused to use my insurance so i ended up doing game about four times before i got it < thanks to my quick eyed son>

Biscottiii not sure I remember exactly what the question was but think it was something like what state was briefly known as the state of Franklin or maybe it was "lost state" which Franklin is often called.

Hey is anyone around? It is a boring TV nite IMHO and even though I have a milling things I should be doing I would just LOVE to work on Treasure Hunters. Think I'm even gonna go play this week's game, but I sure would love to compare thoughts about the winning answer and all the stuff we talked about talking about lolol

Well, I've made similar guesses to others I've heard around and never had anything pop up asking for any personal info. So does that mean I've never had a correct answer? Also due to moving, computer service, etc. I didn't get to play last week's challenge until Monday night. I was disappointed that you can only give one guess a week and not one guess per challenge on the website. I was disappointed!! :-( Will probably try the last couple of challenges but am losing hopes of getting much of anywhere.

Okay Lurk, I'm going to stick my neck out and tell everybody what I think (for what it's worth). The Star Spangled Banner, the version of the flag that inspired The National Anthem is housed at the Smithsonian Institute. I can't help but think that is what the treasure hunt is leading to. Having said that I have this awful fear of giving a wrong answer to anything. So if I'm wrong, I want to state now that I am mortally embarrassed.

Kc, I think you have to be registered somehow to be entered in the contest, but I don't think it indicates anything about a right or wrong answer.

Rit there is actually a long Smithsonian theory that is one of the ones I find very interesting!!!

Cathie was sweet enough to set up a free board for us online YAYAY. What we figure we'll do is email the board addy to folks who have expressed an interested in some heavy duty puzzle solving. This way folks won't have to mess with signing up, but it will be relatively private! So we are going to pm or email everyone who expressed an interest. If you want to join us and haven't just write or post here cause everyone is welcome. Everyone is welcome to join in. We don't have much time left but I know I've collected some really interesting theories...so will be fun to brainstorm.

BTW by now I have emailed to maps to everyone who wanted them....so if i somehow missed you just kick me or something lolol.

I spent quite a bit of time during the night and today on the Treasure Hunters threads at NBC.com. They seem to have it figured out pretty well and I picked up copies of some maps and website links that support the main theory. I'm going to email lurk right now and get in on the sharing here. This is fun!

I have an idea if we want to discuss the Treasure Hunters game away from the lurkers/non-members. How about we just move that discussion to one of our folders in the Members area? I'd be willing to volunteer my folder for such discussion.

I don't get a whole lot of action in there that would get mixed in with the discussion itself. But maybe each post about the TH Game in my folder could start off with something like "TH Game Talk" (in whatever color you choose) so those posts are easier to find/follow as opposed to someone just posting a message to me in my folder.

Feel free to drop by and start the discussion if you want. A link to my folder can be found in my profile.

If all that sounds like too much trouble, then how about we just discuss our theories here?

Who did you hear back from the Mods? And Cathie was nice enough to set up a web board so we are all set (unless we had a locked board here then I'd LOVE to stay here). I have a short email drafted gonna send out soon as Janie gets her HoH room and any preliminary whispers die down lol. Besides anyone could still access it no? Well makes no difference if she was nice enough to set it up might was well go use it for the short time the game is still on! And Who, any reason you don't like another board. I still would prefer not to do all the work out in the open just to have folks steal..I myself have spent hours comparing some things. I don't mind sharing AT ALL as long as folks are participating. Hope that doesn't sound selfish but right now I know I sure could use this money. And also why just give someone the easy answers if they don't even want to join in. Am I wrong guys? Other boards discussed this same thign and they ALL locked the threads so guess it's common shared opinion online too!

Well, if Cathie has a locked web board already, I say we all go and join in! I understand not wanting to have it all out in the open for any lurkers to just take and use the info.

I did hear back from the Mods. It seems having a locked private thread that could exclude people who are members doesn't make the Mods very comfortable. I understand the thought. That's why I suggested my folder, since folders are accessable to anyone who is a TVCH member.

I have no reason to not like another board. I was just trying to save the trouble of setting one up.

We weren't going to exclude ANYONE but non-members. Heck even those would be welcome long as they want to participate far as I'm concerned. But sadly I didn't really think they would go for it, but didn't hurt to ask. But that exclusion thing is just 100% incorrect. I wouldn't be a part of anythng that did that to anyone EVER!

Who, are the members rooms only accessible for viewing by TVCH members? If that is the case it would work as well. Could we create a member name "Treasure" or "Hunters" so we wouldn't have to use anyone's personal folder? Would that be allowed for the short time we would need it? Mods???

The board I set up is through EZboards, but it was no trouble and no cost so it is there for the using if y'all want it, but also easy for me to remove if it isn't needed.

Yea, I didn't mean to suggest anyone but non-TVCH members would be excluded. But that's ok. It was probably my fault for describing it as a "private" forum.

There's other ways to handle it without having to bug the mods. After all, I'm sure they are certainly uber-busy with just the BB forums.

Yes, the Members folders are only accessible for viewing by TVCH members. That's why I suggested we just carry on the theories and discussions of such in one of our folders, and volunteered my own folder. As for creating a folder called "Treasure" or "Treasure Hunters," we have a TVCH member whose username is Treasure (and she has an active folder). So we couldn't use Treasure. And even Treasure Hunters could be confusing. I may be wrong, but creating more folders does seem to add to the clutter/space on the boards. So that's also why I volunteered my own folder.

Is the EZ board accessable for non-members of the board to view? If so, that could defeat the purpose of trying to keep it away from lurkers who don't participate but benifit from other's discussions.

Only members here at TVCH would be given the web link. The board was created with no keyword searches so it would be very unlikely that anyone else could find it, but not entirely impossible. It could be secured with member list and password but that gets confusing for those who haven't used EZboard before.

It is much easier to post images here, so that would be a benefit (along with absolute privacy) to doing a member folder here at TVCH. My own folder died of starvation a few months ago but I can create a new one for myself if that helps speed the process along. No danger of treasure stuff getting mixed up in my personal messages, lol.
