 		Treasure Challenge
Just wanted to let everyone know about this site.

http://www.treasurechallenge.com

Every week they have a "challenge" and each day you solve a puzzle to get a clue. All the clues add up to an answer that you guess. Right now its in testing, so the prize is $100 per week, but they are planning to go to $500 as a prize when they formally launch.

Anyways, I thought it was neat.

 		Hmm, I wonder who it is affiliated with, lol.

I submitted a guess for today, but it's probably wrong with the hint being very vague.

What do you mean "who it is affiliated with"? I also made a guess today, but I guess I got it wrong too.

...and Amazon ...and Sears ...and many other sites. Wal-Mart would certainly never send you to a competitor.

ETA: I tried today's, and I know the answer, but it's not accepting it.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
4. Some are now collector's items and Bloomingdale's was the first to introduce them.

I try "Brown Bag", "Little Brown Bag", "Medium Brown Bag", etc... to no avail.


ETA #2.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"DESIGNER shopping bag". Sigh...

 		No challenge this week. Bah.

Quote:
Last week's Treasure Challenge trial was a success. We had a number of people sign up and participate(around 100) and received some very valuable feedback.

Unfortonuately, part of that included some bugs that we now must take some time to fix. As soon as we are back up and running(hopefully next week), we will let everyone know.

People might have known us by our collective name but would not have recognized one of us if passed on the lane.
