NBC’s Treasure Hunters: Finale

Posted by Mark | Filed under Life

Dang nab­bit! I was not picked for the final 10 and I didn’t win bump­kiss in the game. Ah well, maybe they’ll have another sea­son of the game and I’ll do bet­ter then. Since my last entry about TH I received a cou­ple more ques­tions. Addi­tion­ally as the game is over now, I don’t mind shar­ing my totally lame and incor­rect guesses as to the final loca­tion of the trea­sure¹.

@Stephen Y.: As you already found out, the cor­rect answer to last week’s ques­tion was the Guten­berg Bible. I have to say I felt really proud of myself with that week’s ques­tion as it was the first time since watch­ing the show where I was com­fort­able enough in my knowl­edge of the sub­ject that I did not have to research the ques­tion before sub­mit­ting the answer².

@Jorge: Mind you it’s been many weeks since I did chal­lenge #3, but as I recall it’s a mat­ter of which way the wind is blow­ing (watch the clouds to deter­mine this) and then of tim­ing. For me, I had to wait for the ship to touch the raised chain and start it’s turn. While it was turn­ing, I aimed for the right-hand side of the screen and fired. That allowed me to hit the ship by basi­cally hav­ing them sail right into my canonball.

@Everybody else: Keep in mind that I only started watch­ing TH/playing the online game with week 6. My guesses for the final loca­tion of the trea­sure were:

1. Wash­ing­ton, D.C.
2. Wash­ing­ton, D.C.
3. Library of Congress
4. Lin­coln Memorial

As you were warned, my guess were all lame & inac­cu­rate. I guess it is just as well that I didn’t get picked as one of the final 10 con­tests as the odds would have been against me win­ning. *shrug* Oh well, you can’t win ‘em all.

¹ Accord­ing to this post on the NBC mes­sage boards for Trea­sure Hunters, the cor­rect final answer was Smith­son­ian National Museum of Amer­i­can His­tory.
² It didn’t hurt my ego that I also answered that ques­tion before my wife did either (also a first since I started watch­ing the show).
