I wish that I could post the official rules, etc. but for some reason I can't copy & paste from their site. I wonder if it's because I have dial-up? lol

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE! Smilie

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Clue #1 - Get rooted.
If you can find the tallest giant in the land, you'll find that the million will lie to the East.
Answer #1- Hyperion, Redwood tree, Redwood National Forest, California

Clue #2 - Where the West expands.
The million will lie somewhere to the west of a monumental gateway to the West. The famous landmark is represented in this equation.

y = A (cosh X over L C -1)

x = L over C [cosh-1(1+y over A)]

Where, A = fc over Qb over Qt -1 = 68.7672

C = Cosh -1 Qb over Qt = 3.0022
Answer #2 - The Gateway Arch in St. Louis, Missouri. So, that puts the million East of Hyperion and West of the Gateway Arch.

Clue #3 Kick back in a peaceful place.
If you want a chance to claim the million, you'll have to head South of the first shared international, national park of its kind.

Answer #3 Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park in West Glacier, MT.

CLUE #4 - One Rare Critter -
This once endangered southwestern isopod is naturally found in only one thermal spring and shares its name with the county it lives in. Like this animal, the million will be found in only one spot. And to find it, you'll have to look further North.
ANSWER #4 - North of Sedillo Spring in Socorro County in New Mexico.

A friend of mine who lives in Utah went over to rainbow arches yesterday. He told me there were a bunch of people poking the ground with pitchforks. None of them would tell him what they were doing that for.

I wish that they didn't put some of the clues 5 days apart. Frown

Side note: We have a reprieve! Instead of 90+, today it is about 70, cloudy, rainy, lightning and thunder. Oh my! Smilie

I love hearing the thunder and watching the sky light up. Smilie

When you use google maps- you type in what you are looking for, then you click on the map at the point you are searching, the coordinates will then be up in the box. In order to get the degree symbol (the little circle at the top right of the numbers) use ALT 248 on your keyboard. The North/South (N/S) coordinate will always be the first set of numbers, the East/West (E/W) will be the second set. Always use care to watch for a negative sign as that can really screw up the location if you fail to enter it, also using periods/decimal point as needed. Hope that helps.

Marlboro dug a real hole and buried $1M of Bitcoins in it. If no one finds it they will do a random drawing for the money.

Now that's some serious contest dedication. LOL

It's a semi-public forum, so don't let the negatives get to you. Let's just keep working and see if one of us can win this thing.
Good for you to speak your mind for it seems a lot of others dont seem to have one. I as you like to guestion a lot and find if you search you will find more then you ask for. Thank you for your time and your thought' on this contest. Should I be lucky enough to win I would truly share the wealth with you. God Bless, Wendy
