Forum Eggs
Hidden around the forum are 25 eggs. Each time you find one, PM the post number to me to receive a question.
If you PM the correct answer to the question, you will unlock a clue for the map.
If you PM the incorrect answer to me, you will be notified that your previous answer was incorrect.
All answers to the questions are forumite names.

Map
Shown below is a map, where 25 Easter eggs have been placed at random.
Use the clues that you have found to place 25 crosses on the map as to where you think these eggs are located.

In general
You may PM multiple egg locations and/or answers to the questions at any one time.
You may also PM as many times as you like (within reason of course) and at any time of the day. I will try to reply to your answer(s) as soon as possible.

My eyes are.... :eek:
(It was easier than the Valentine's comp, though)


I have the same doubt as Bell.

Edit : Also, something with the timing.... will it be UTC in UK on April 9th? xD

butt yeh :) ummmm iffff we get a question wrong the first timeee can we like have another go at answeringg it? orrr is it just the one attemptttt :(

You can have 3 attempts per day at each question, and you may post as many egg locations as you like in one go.
Edit: So it doesn't finish so early, I will only PM up to 3 questions per day, to make it last a bit longer :P

Arrrrrr more eggs to find! Hehe
I see what Aless means about the timing and also whether the other timezones will still have the same difference from the UK when BST starts. Also, I think 9th April is a Thursday.

I think 9th April is a Thursday.

It is. xD

Aahaha. You are liking this egg hunting. >.>
/slap db

But, it's a good idea in total :) Uses lots of things all together in one.. :P But yeah.

Egg searching. >.> Again... >.>

db.....GHSILDJASLGJISALD meaniebutt :( :'(
/me pouts. and pouts. and pouts.

ok , im done. i'll prob say that again when im annoyed again though XD
btw :P can i have the excel sheet? i dont feel like making my own XD

btw :P can i have the excel sheet? i dont feel like making my own XD

Yes, of course. You might want to find some clues before you put the crosses on the map though :P

Ugh. Egg hunting again. o.O
Sorry Deebs.....count me out.

tsk, and here i was hoping db would send me the completed excel sheet...*sigh* well. one can hope ;)

*huggles* off to search for those messed up eggs (i say mine was so hawter than those.) :P

You can have 3 attempts per day at each question, and you may post as many egg locations as you like in one go.
Edit: So it doesn't finish so early, I will only PM up to 3 questions per day, to make it last a bit longer :P

Hmm, I know you want to make it last longer, but I'd rather finish it off? The deadline of 9th April will be good for those people who are busy this week, but have time next week, and for those of us who are busy next week, we can do it this week and not worry about it next week.

Edit : Also, something with the timing.... will it be UTC in UK on April 9th? xD

Thanks Aless, it won't be Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) in the UK, it will be British Summer Time (BST). For this reason, the UK entry time has been moved to 4:00pm to keep the consistency.

Hmm I started this comp, but I've been feeling pretty ill and also been really busy moving house and packing, so I'm not going to carry on... shame, I'll miss out on the egg hunting :P. Maybe next year. :)

Aww, ZK, don't worry about not continuing the comp and thanks for participating :)
Hopefully you'll be able to take part in Saff's DOF comp, which should be Science this time. Afaik, it will begin directly after my Easter comp :)

Science this time.
Science it will be
Afaik, it will begin directly after my Easter comp :)
Yes again. Although I do have a fair bit to do over Easter and just after.....might be a short break.
Give me time to post pictures of notable scientists around the forum.........:eek:

Give me time to post pictures of notable scientists around the forum.........:eek:

Lol, I get a taste of my own medicine :biggrin:

Yes. I think I will make it that only you have to find all the pictures......and you can't get any of your other points unless you find them all.......:twisted:....all 100 of them

Nice touch Saff, I can see the evil glint in your eyes :razz:

Sorry for the double post, but I feel this needs a little mention.

Please don't forget to send in your completed maps if and when you have finished Round 5. Whether you have been finding eggs and answering questions or not, you may send in a completed map, as the egg hunting and question answering was merely used to provide clues for the map. You could score up to 50 points for this part.
Also just to clarify, you will not lose any points if you use 25 or fewer crosses. You will only lose points if you use more than 25 crosses to increase your chances.

You will only lose points if you use more than 20 crosses to increase your chances.


Hmm.. you mean 25 crosses? :)

Umm... yeah.. 25... thanks Aless :)

OOh. I might do 25 random crosses and see how lucky I get! :O
(Are there any ships to sink? hehe)

/me twirls in circles

jk, 5 reminders works well enough


my patience is bad XD practically nonexistent :P :D :D *starts throwing the crosses into the grid in a purty pattern*

Are there any ships to sink? hehe

Lol, not this time, but maybe in a future comp...

Lol As long as we don't have to search for those ships to sink. :P ahahah. :P

OK, there's only just over a day to send those final few answers to me.
Make sure you have entered all parts that are still available to help maximise your score.

Sorry about the delay, I'm at uni and didn't have access to a PC. Anyway...

This round is now closed.

Thank you to everyone who has entered this round.
The answers and final results will be posted in about an hour's time.
