I read the list and most of the things I have a recollection of happening and I know they are all here but I would rather sit back and watch others find them I may contribute here and there

About #3, there is in fact at least one 10,000 digit number lurking on these threads.

Re: TheBigDog's First Hypography Scavenger Hunt

How about after you post something you've found, you repeat the list with that item excluded...

For example, you found #7. You would then re-list 1-6 & 8-whatever...

Re: TheBigDog's First Hypography Scavenger Hunt

Headline: TENECIOUS TERRAPIN TAKES TWO!

We have our first contestant back with a second find in our ongoing scavenger hunt. Turtle leads currently with two finds, while Tormod and Blazer2000x are each tied with one.

Rules update! If someone has found an item, you can still find a different example of the same item. But the first person to an example claims it!
