Piranha Posted September 14, 2010 Posted September 14, 2010 Does that mean the first one, where the links and text are not combined hyperlinks? Quote

Thanks for the clarification WhiteFang PM sent to DarkFang This was a very fun contest (great fun except for some select painful ones ) and I hope when the 3rd series comes out, a similar contest will be held Quote
WhiteFang Posted September 15, 2010 Author Posted September 15, 2010 Less than 4 days left. The clock is ticking. Have you managed to find at least 15 windows? Quote
Zorbas Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 Less than 4 days left. The clock is ticking. Have you managed to find at least 15 windows? 12/16 but I'm really not complaining since this contest is pure fun and it's really enjoyable. Now, you have to excuse me because I have an appointment with Mr Adrian Monk. We've got 4 minifigs to find. Quote
prateek Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 If you don't mind me asking, how many have entered so far? Quote
Oky Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 Less than 4 days left. The clock is ticking. Have you managed to find at least 15 windows? Nope. Still stuck at 14. I have looked everywhere that seemed reasonable to me for the Spartan and Witch, but I just can't find them, and I'm too frustrated to keep looking. Way to hide them (or give misleading clues). Quote
squiz Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 Nope. Still stuck at 14. I have looked everywhere that seemed reasonable to me for the Spartan and Witch, but I just can't find them, and I'm too frustrated to keep looking. Way to hide them (or give misleading clues). Dont give up Oky, they are just an advanced search away ! Quote
fred67 Posted September 16, 2010 Posted September 16, 2010 I'd offer suggestions for improving your search, but was already admonished once in this thread... Quote
DarkFang Posted September 16, 2010 Posted September 16, 2010 12/16 but I'm really not complaining since this contest is pure fun and it's really enjoyable. What are the ones that you are having difficult with? If you don't mind me asking, how many have entered so far? It's only a handful (based on the total EB members' population before 26th Aug). Nope. Still stuck at 14. I have looked everywhere that seemed reasonable to me for the Spartan and Witch, but I just can't find them, and I'm too frustrated to keep looking. Way to hide them (or give misleading clues). Take a search for the closest LEGO set there is to a Spartan action figure. [There is a keyword inside the clue itself. You got to find out which one it is.] It's a witch! As we all know, the best way to deal with witches is to hunt them and put them on trial for their crimes. This noble witch is suitably found paying for its crimes in such a place. [There are not a lot of topics in Eurobricks where there are witches involved. I am sure you have seen the topic before but you are not observant enough to note its location.] Hope these clues can help you. I'd offer suggestions for improving your search, but was already admonished once in this thread... As long it's subtle and not obvious and at the same time, involving some thinking, it's alright to offer some suggestions. Quote
Oky Posted September 16, 2010 Posted September 16, 2010 Thanks for trying to help! You were right about the witch; I took another look and found her. Still puzzled about the Spartan, but maybe I'll find him too... Quote
WhiteFang Posted September 16, 2010 Author Posted September 16, 2010 Thanks for trying to help! You were right about the witch; I took another look and found her. Still puzzled about the Spartan, but maybe I'll find him too... You see. DarkFang is such a wise Fellow. Good luck. Quote
WhiteFang Posted September 16, 2010 Author Posted September 16, 2010 Eurobricks Raffles and Mystery Treasure Hunt To give more people a chance to participate, while not making the people who found them all feel unrewarded, we have decided for the very last time to allow Eurobricks members who are missing one or two answers to enter but at a lower chance of selection. You will need to specify which is/are the window/s that cannot be found. 16 out of 16 windows correct entitles 7 raffles chances 15 out of 16 windows correct entitles 3 raffles chances 14 out of 16 windows correct entitles 1 raffle chance The submission deadline ends on the 19th Sep 2010, 0100hrs GMT +8 Singapore. Read here to find out more. Quote
fred67 Posted September 16, 2010 Posted September 16, 2010 My help is this... it's non-specific, so hopefully it's OK... use Google, and not the board search engine. Limit the search to eurobricks by using "site:www.eurobricks.com" in your query. Quote
iminifig Posted September 16, 2010 Posted September 16, 2010 Ack, still missing 2, 4, 6, 9, 11, & 12 - going BF How about 10/16 = 1/2 a chance Quote
Siegfried Posted September 16, 2010 Posted September 16, 2010 My help is this... it's non-specific, so hopefully it's OK... use Google, and not the board search engine. Limit the search to eurobricks by using "site:www.eurobricks.com" in your query. Nothing wrong with that hint; I think a few others have said something similar. How about 10/16 = 1/2 a chance Sorry, but no. Quote
Zorbas Posted September 16, 2010 Posted September 16, 2010 What are the ones that you are having difficult with? The Spartan (shame on me... ), the Witch, the Karate Master and the Weightlifter. I'll give it a try for once more having the hints from the last posts in mind (thanks for that!). P.S Once the contest ends I'd like to share the "path" I followed for one of the minifigs above . Jigsaw ( ) ON! P.S #2 One of the best contests, no doubt about that! Congrats to everyone who is involved in setting this up. Quote

I'll give it a try for once more having the hints from the last posts in mind (thanks for that!). With all the clues about the witch (did you see the extra clues?) I can't understand how anyone would still have a problem... the last post by DarkFang practically hands it to you on a silver platter... yes, there's still a number of threads you might have to look through, but it's there!

Edmond Dantes Posted September 16, 2010 Posted September 16, 2010 (edited) With all the clues about the witch (did you see the extra clues?) I can't understand how anyone would still have a problem... the last post by DarkFang practically hands it to you on a silver platter... yes, there's still a number of threads you might have to look through, but it's there! Well, the witch took me 3+ hours of searching, compared to 10 minutes max for any of the other figs. Still, as you said, the hint is quite sufficient (although digging through all the similar threads does take a while). That makes 16/16 for me - I'll submit my list when I get home. Thanks for the hunt! Edit: By the way, I don't think anyone has asked if we have the chance to win multiple minifigs if we have multiple chances? Or, if once our name is picked, we can't win another.

Rufus Posted September 16, 2010 Posted September 16, 2010 Edit: By the way, I don't think anyone has asked if we have the chance to win multiple minifigs if we have multiple chances? Or, if once our name is picked, we can't win another. Interesting point. If (say) two or three people are picked who found all 16, and therefore have seven chances, and they are then removed from the 'hat', then - depending on the total number of entries - this may make it significantly more likely that people who found less than 16 will win.

prateek Posted September 16, 2010 Posted September 16, 2010 Okay, I see. I like this new selection process, but now I'll be even more ticked if I don't win anything! Quote
ThatGuyWithTheBricks Posted September 16, 2010 Posted September 16, 2010 Does linking to the topic by searching the topic name count? I can't figure out any other way to get to some of the older ones. Quote
WhiteFang Posted September 17, 2010 Author Posted September 17, 2010 Left 39 hours and 30 minutes before this hunt is over. Edit: By the way, I don't think anyone has asked if we have the chance to win multiple minifigs if we have multiple chances? Or, if once our name is picked, we can't win another. 7 chances to win meant your name is written 7 times for draw. The winner will only win 1 prize/minifigure but it will give the person who has 16 images a much higher chance to be drawn. Does linking to the topic by searching the topic name count? I can't figure out any other way to get to some of the older ones. I don't understand your question. Quote
ThatGuyWithTheBricks Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 You've said before that we have to link to the specific posts when it's in the OP of the topic. I just can't seem to get to a lot of those posts. I thought by searching the topic title, that we would know that it must be in that topic and couldn't be there by accident. Quote
