msteffel I was going to guess that next!!  |
I had a feeling that might be your next guess. I figured if you and NOSNOW where in the same ballpark you two might be on to something.
So then your not guessing at all???

WOOHOO! We have a winner! I'll be in touch about getting your tshirt, tags, and decal to you!
I wonder if you'll get a lot of discoveries once you activate it? Hmmm??
Thanks for playing everyone! I hear there is an online order form in the works for these decals! Watch this thread for the link to order!

The K6 guess was submitted at 12:06 am. I _knew_ I should have set my alarm to make my next guess  . |

Woo hoo! I'd like to thank all of the little people: children, midgets, jockeys, dwarfs, hobbits, etc.
Yeah, I decided to guess soon after midnight since I had a feeling that my guess might be close for two reasons...
1) pfalstad was guessing around there (basically the equivalent of staking our pfalstad's house [might be why he moved recently lol] after a puzzle cache comes out and following him to gz ). I don't know how he always seem to find a way to make a random guess be close.
2) I decided to look at it like a puzzle. I figure the travel bug numbers for all of the ordered clings were probably close, so I checked out a few travel bug sites and hoped to find the klings and maybe a number or two for them. When that didn't work, I did a search for 'MNGCA' travel bugs and found two window clings already out there, NOSNOW had one so I figured NOSNOW would think the same thing (plus his guess was close to pfalstad's) so I went with K6... and that is the rest of the story.
Thanks for the fun EPMN!! I have a plain old travel bug magnet (clearly not nearly as spiffy as these awesome MN window clings!! *cough* *PLUG* ) on my car currently, so I guess I'll know those that are discovering it via the forum if they don't discover the other travel bug as well. |

Too bad I can't just log the find now, while I'm thinking about it, instead of waiting for you to activate it!  |

Actually, that wasn't NOSNOW. That was NOSND, a couple Red_Devil35 and I met at the OTAK breakfast event in Mankato last Saturday morning. I think we sold 4 or 5 that morning so there should be more running around including Ramsey63's!
As for stalking Pfalstad...I know nothing, NUTHHHHHing about that. |

 Oops, it's those little details that always trip me up on puzzles. I'm sure I was working on a puzzle where D=OW, or ah, just thought they were related cause the names were so similar... yeah, that's the ticket.
So I guess it was just following pfalstad. Sounds like a winning strategy for so many things!  Thanks Paul!
Now if I can find the time to figure out what I'm missing on that Quiz... |
