Hello Treasure Hunters!
It is now 5 AM, August 1, 2016, in India; in honor of our new competitors from The Sherlock Holmes Society of India I am posting the 2016 Treasure Hunt now although it is not quite August 1 for many of us yet. This posting time seems an appropriate time considering the information about five in the morning contained in RESI.
As always, a forum has been opened on the Quiz page for questions, clarifications, complaints, etc. I will respond to any postings as quickly as possible. I’m thinking you will probably find some error or the other in the document, despite many hours of proofing/checking. If you do not, thank Sheila Holtgrieve (JHWS Daisy) for her fine proof-reading and consulting work on this year’s hunt; if you do find errors, it is my fault as I continued to tinker with the thing after Sheila’s good work was complete. Any needed corrections will be posted to the forum. Please check it from time to time.
Please don’t forget the hunt is scored on a point system. Therefore, if you know part of a question (Who?), but not the other part (What?), please add the part you do know to your document. You will receive credit for each individual part of the question that is answered correctly.
I have uploaded the Treasure Hunt in Microsoft Word (.docx) and in .pdf. Please see the rules page for instructions for submitting your finished hunt.
Ok, on you go…Happy Hunting!
