Scavenger Hunt

BuzzLY

Just for fun... You hide something in a place anyone can find with a browser by simply following your clue(s). If that person finds what you are hinting at, then they get to hide (or simply describe the location of) a new item. If an answer can't be found, hints can be given.

For example... a clue could be:

"I went looking everywhere for some cookies the other day. The third one I found was very common. What did I find?"

Hint 1: Where does one search for cookies?
Hint 2: What could "everywhere" mean?
Hint 3: Search PHP.NET, 'whole site' for 'cookies'
Hint 4: What is the 3rd thing on the search results?

Answer: If you search on PHP.NET's whole site for "cookies," you'll see that the third link on the page is for the manual page on "register_globals," which in fact, is a very common topic here at PHPBuilder.com!

Sound like fun? No? Do it anyway.

Here's my clue:

I made 5 hash browns and put them in a box, then hid it locally. If you're lost, start at the beginning.

Good Luck!

Urm - according to Cooks.com - you would find 5 hash Browns in a baking tray - then hidden behind an oven door.... (I would assume very locally if you were at home...)

Am I right ? am I ? am I ???

That's quite close to something Vizzini once said. 🙂

Nice guidelines...
5...hash...browns... why browns ? :p

Just any question... when gives the master any hint? 24h?

Elizabeth

Are you talking about this?

Right now I'd say Elizabeth is the warmest...

Hint #1: locally means the current domain.

piersk

here? (as in the first post of this thread)

BuzzLY

You've got the right idea...

Hint #2: How long have I been a member of this board?

(this is an easy clue... you should be able to work it out at this point)...

Found !

Talk about md5, hash
Brown like sepia tone of photo?
i'm missing the box 😃 (a flash: box=link... i'm right?)
It's on this domain
It's a link from a first Buzzly post...

Would this be it? http://www.phpbuilder.com/board/showthread.php?s=&threadid=10216780 or http://www.phpbuilder.com/board/showthread.php?s=&threadid=10218097#post10253956

Here is what I thought of:

I made 5 hash browns and put them in a box, then hid it locally. If you're lost, start at the beginning.

BuzzLY made 5 posts on the forum, here at phpBuilder. Start at the begining of his posting.

So, I searched all of BuzzLY's post and viewed them from old to new, counted 5 down and that's what I found. Just thought I'd give it a go. Kinda late for me so I'm sure I missed something.

BuzzLY

😃 You guys are very very close... just put all of your individual ideas together, and you'll get it.

Hint #3: Sometimes you need to read between the lines.

Doh! you kill me... 🙂 My monitor is not so fine !!!

Ok, lets me try again, the last:

In this post BuzzLY do 5 point, it's old (26/11/2002), on this domain and between the lines of signature.

BuzzLY

Excellent guess, Lord Shryku!

but no. 🙂

Ok, I'll give you part of the solution now. It's just up to you to find it on the site 🙂

"I made 5 hash browns and put them in a box, then hid it locally. If you're lost, start at the beginning."

The box is not that important. I simply entered something in a text box on this site (locally).

"made 5 hash browns" is one of the major keys:

made 5 hash browns...
md 5 hash "browns"
md5("browns") = ???

Now you just have to find it. I gave you a clue where to look.

Anyone else feel like they suddenly got warped into a Blues Clues book? 🙂

BuzzLY

I refuse to sing the song...

And does anyone here hate the new guy worse than the old one?

LordShryku

In searching for your elusive post, I've thought of a bumper sticker that ThinkGeek is missing. The "I'd rather be coding" bumper sticker. They have a killer coding ninja monkey bumper sticker, but no "I'd rather be coding?
Guess I'm saying....I'm done looking...
</rant>

And yeah, I really do hate that new guy. You're not talking about me right? </paranoia>

Well, I did a search for md5("browns") posted by BuzzLy and it cam back with this link which some might say is extremely local.

The box is not that important. I simply entered something in a text box on this site (locally).

md5("browns") = ???

So it couldn't have been in the post. but in the subject of the post (textarea v textbox) or in the search textbox, but that wouldn't have saved the information anywhere...

Or was that just nit picking ??
