NBC’s Treasure Hunters: Additional Questions

Posted by Mark | Filed under Life

Between post­ing my solu­tion to chal­lenge #8 and finally get­ting a chance to sit down & read me email this evening, I got hit with 6 emails and a few com­ments about it. Rather than try­ing to reply to all of you indi­vid­u­ally, I’ll just post my answers here. Sorry this comes so late, but I’ve been swamped today.

I am hav­ing a hard time with the lat­est Trea­sure Hunters Challenge…When I pick up the Gold Dabloon (sp?), all I get is either an extra pair of gog­gles or Laird’s wal­let. I took out the busi­ness card from the wal­let and typed in “Emer­gency Sup­port” in the Visa “depart­ment” line, it says I do not need emer­gency sup­port at this time. Can you help me??…I’ve been putting Library of Con­gress also and I haven’t got­ten any­thing like that either :(

As I recall from last night, there were 3 items on the river bed: a wal­let, a boot and the dou­bloon. First, empty your web browser’s cache and then restart your browser. In the IRC chan­nel I had been hang­ing around on last night, that seemed to clear up most of the really weird stuff. If that doesn’t work make sure you are fol­low­ing my instruc­tions step-by-step. If you get stuff out of order, things may not work right. If you’re still hav­ing prob­lems and want more imme­di­ate feed­back, try going to NBCTreasureHunters.com and fol­low­ing their instruc­tions for con­nect­ing to the IRC server & cha­t­room they are using. It’s a really good resource for get­ting help with the puz­zles. If all that fails, leave a com­ment on this post with a detailed work­flow of what you’ve tried and where you are get­ting stuck.

i need help week 8 is there any help for me

on dis­abil­ity need money so bad please help me

Hmm, well there’s the help I spelled out in my solu­tion to chal­lenge #8. There’s the NBCTreasureHunters.com web­site (and their instruc­tions for get­ting to an IRC server where you can chat live with other hunters. How­ever, you should keep in mind even if you solve all the puz­zles cor­rectly; the offi­cial rules state “the Admin­is­tra­tor will select ten (10) Win­ners from all eli­gi­ble entries in a ran­dom draw­ing.” This means there’s no guar­an­tee you’ll ever get any money from play­ing along with the NBC Trea­sure Hunters online game.
Beyond that maybe one of these web­sites can assist you:

• DisabilityInfo.gov
• Ben­e­fits For Peo­ple With Disabilities
• Dis­abil­ity Resources Monthly Guide to Dis­abil­ity Resources on the Internet

Hi, can you please help me with the order for the final puz­zle? I have the cutout of the star and have entered all the pos­si­ble com­bi­na­tions that I see (“feather sym­bol”, sun, door with “c”, hands, book, arrow, other door) and I can­not get it to work. Please help! Thanks!

Check out the foot­notes at the bot­tom of my solu­tion to chal­lenge #8. To be per­fectly hon­est, I had my wife do the cutout thing for me, couldn’t fig­ure it out and relied upon the kind peo­ple chat­ting about the puz­zle in the #steeple_media IRC chan­nel on Acces­sIRC. You might also want to read one of the com­ments on my post cov­er­ing my solu­tion to chal­lenge #8.

how do you arrange the puz­zle pieces? it looks right but the fire­place is not opening.

Make sure your pieces on the game­board are arranged in exactly the same method as shown in the image on my solu­tion to chal­lenge #8 post. If you’re still hav­ing prob­lems, try clear­ing your web browser’s cache, restart­ing your webrowser and try­ing again.
