Hi!! Now that Round 2 is over can someone please tell me the answer to clue #5? After 3 days I couldn't find it yet . Thank you very much and Merry Christmas!!!!

For each clue, the present is only there for one day. And you're not supposed to ask people for answers. You'll have to wait for the Holiday Hunt to be over to know the answer.

What is the correct way to submit the answer to the form? Do I just copy and paste the URL to the google form?

[worldno17]

Wikipedia is my best friend! Found clue 8 whilst having a vague idea of what it was referring to but Wiki helped affirm my suspicions. So many clues relating to dramas I literally have zilch knowledge in that field.

Take a screenshot of the present in the post and upload it to an image-sharing site (eg. Imgur or Tinypic) and then, paste the URL to the Google form. NOTE: Remember that the present is only up for 1 day so don't forget to take the screenshot ASAP!

OR

Describe the whereabouts of each present in detail (i.e. which post it was in, which page, which thread and maybe also who posted the post with the present in it)

For extra detail, you could do both of the options, like I've been doing for my answers during the past round. You submit all 3 answers at the end of each round.

omg omg omg. This is the 1st time I'm able to solve all clues in 1 round, after failing n getting frustrated over the present box (or easter egg) hunting clues for few years So excited when submitting my answers!! Fingers crossed..

Many thanks to the people who come up with the exciting contest and such amazing clues!!

[Guest moonlightning]

I thought I knew the answer but I can't find the present:(  Kind of strange cause how many movies with those circumstances can there be?

Just to be sure the page number is the birthdate and month added up right? So if it was today it would be 27+12=39?

I hope I'll be able to figure out what I'm doing wrong

I suggest you read the last sentence of the clue at another perspective/angle.

Round 3 is the first time I'm participating in this. In the rules on the first post it said, "We recommend saving the URL or the thread name/page." I submitted the thread name and page as well as the url in the Google form, but I did not describe where the present was located on the page. I noticed on a later page in this thread thread, a mod said we should do that as well. Should/Can I resubmit my entry with more details or is a link to the thread and page number okay?

Edit: Just realized I can't edit my form. I'd really hate to be disqualified because I actually do have screenshots of the presents, but didn't realize they were so important to include. Wish I had read more than just the first post of this thread OTL

It's okay to submit it the way that you did. ^^ I haven't disqualified anyone, to date, for not providing "enough" information as long as I am able to tell that you were truly able to find the present.

Can you give us some info on how many people have sent correct answers for each round and etc.? Also does it give you an advantage if you submitted correct answers for the previous rounds?

We get a good number of submitted forms for each round and I can count the number of disqualified members (due only to answers that were completely wrong) on one hand. ^^ Previous rounds do NOT give you an advantage for future rounds since we choose the winner completely at random. We use the "draw a name out of a hat" method (except with a box, not a hat... Ha!).

 

[queenbrooke]

I can't believe it's the last round already

I miss this hunt already.

[Guest macha97]

This hunt was very fun and the clues were brilliant

[MlleGoyangi]

That was fun! I was able to complete 2/4 rounds which is great!! Thank you all for doing this and I look forward to whatever events you have for us in the future!! 

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and Happy early New Years!!

[queenbrooke]

Congrats to all the winners and happy new year everyone

Spoiler

Answer:

Gong Yoo, page 710

[Gong Yoo was given the novel, "The Crucible" as a gift from a sunbae for his military promotion. He was struck with horror from the reality the novel was based on and initiated the production of the film, "Silenced."

It also led to the Dogani Bill, a revised bill that specifically targets those who commit sex crimes against minors and the disabled. Gong Yoo's birthday is July 10, 1979.]

 

Congratulations on winning the third round, @CheyenneS!
