You're right. After about 6 hours it only took me 3 minutes to find it.

This one's easier? Really? I must be missing something obvious then.

Edit: And as soon as I say that, I find it, of course.

Would have been easy today if I would have looked better.

ztimar · 12-05-2009, 05:03 AM

Thank you! That was much easier today!

That was not so bad, but it felt more like luck than skill. I just took a guess at which thread it could be (the forum was obvious).

Have there been any hints except for which forum it is so far? If there are, the hints have been extremely subtle and I'm not sure there have been any. But it's a lot more fun to try to figure out not only which forum, but also which thread it could be, rather than just a 'brute-force search' approach in the right forum.

You disappoint me, mods... Too easy! But then it's saturday, we all need to take it easy. And my guess still stands. Yayyy!

rhmorrison · 12-05-2009, 05:53 AM

YES, only five (5) titles left and my guess is still on the list of possibles.

There's one thread that sticks rather out...

That's where mobileread keeps me sane as I sip a strong coffee and browse the forums with a nursery rhymes CD blasting loudly in the background arggh

Same here, albeit the culprit is only 2 months old

Local wake up time is 4 am

Very easy today btw! Now that everyone is rested, let hide tomorrow's letter really well

Hard clue are fun!

I can't see what makes todays' thread stick out, especially... - and no clues in the hint.

... and none is an anagram of any other

No, no clues in the hint (at least, I couldn't find one, not even after I found the image). But it really does stick out..., with head and shoulders...

Well, there are two main ways in which threads do stick out.

MickeyC · 12-05-2009, 08:40 AM

I'm confused (okay, okay, more confused than normal). Does the clue have to have been posted on the day it was announced? IOW, does clue six have to be in a post dated today (i.e., 5 December)? Or can it be buried somewhere under any date?
