    I'm so torn up about this, I'm even going to re-set everyone's guesses for the day (even you, Larrikin).  This is only if you don't guess past this point, though.  If you think you know it without the clue, by all means, guess away.  You will forefit your freebie guesses for this evening, though.

    I guess I mis-read.

    To Selroth:

    cg49me:
    To put it another way, if you have already guessed today, you may guess again tonight after I put up the clue, but not until then - if you have not yet guessed today, you may guess now if you wish, but you will not be allowed to guess after I put up the clue tonight.

    Re: The EggXpert Prize Box

    Mikeduffy's got it with the St. Louis Arch! I figured when I made the puzzle that, the arch being the only major thing within a few hundred feet of those coordinates, that would be the thing everyone would guess.  Silly me...  In hindsight, I should have included a couple other "clocks" with red hands to specify seconds.  I think by now everyone understands that the thermometers where degrees, and the clocks were minutes of latitude and longitude.

    Okay mike, you may now select a number from the Prize Box!

    I'm gonna be swamped for the next week or so with tests, so the next few puzzles may be awhile in coming.  Please be patient...

  •  09-26-2007, 5:42 AM 169208 in reply to 169195

    Re: The EggXpert Prize Box

    So, what are the exact correct coordinates?  Cause I'm not seeing it on maps.google.com.  Maybe I'm blind.

    LOL, can I at least get partial credit for essentially solving the puzzle for everyone?  After that it seems to be a guess of what you were looking at. 

    EDIT: Nevermind, now I see it.  And that really, really, ticks me off even more because I even guessed the national park that had the arch in it just 7 minutes after...  Ugh...

    Re: The EggXpert Prize Box

    Sweet!!!! This might be the only puzzle I get right through this whole thing ; )  I saw Selroth's answer, but I didn't put two and two together until I managed to figure out that the puzzle was degrees and minutes...I figured since he said the bridge, you were looking for the actual longitudinal and latitudinal coordinates.  You're right though, if that clue would have been given out with the puzzle, it would have been a dead giveaway. 

    I pick box 31!!!!!! good thing 13 was already taken cause I would have picked that one : /

    I'm afraid you've uncovered our second red X.  Yech.

    As I said, the next puzzle might be a bit late in coming.
