Just copy the billboards. Drop down slower but easier than typing (avoids typos). And no more 1 sec answers (tech glitch).

That's two puzzles where French/France played a role....hmmmm....

hm, i cant seem to fFind a couple of the billboards. mind, I'm just doing a google search fFor "chipotle billboards." there may be a source i'm not considering.

And possibly they changed the interface since you guys put in your answers, because you can't type anything in, it's only the drop down menus.

One of them was French. But there are translations online. Try googling Chipotle and some of the more obscure words (57,000 Mg for instance.)

Puzzle 6 very easy. Google for the Earnings call, write 3 of the 4 names (just the first name).

#7 is starting to look like a real puzzle. A vague reference, a sentence offering some context, and a slightly obscure pop culture joke. The desired answer is a small piece of a tangentially related thing. Not bad.

Also note the criteria fFor The Big Prize has changed. I'm thinking question #20 might actually be a real challenge.

A little crop and rotate, and then it's Google Image Search to the rescue for puzzle 8. Interestingly it didn't show up on TinEye.

Don't forget to include the word "farm" at the end.

Was reading the "official rules" and noticed something odd in the part about winner determination:

It's probably in place by Canadian law. I'm given to understand countries have varied rules about how you can run a contest. I've never heard of this specifically being a clause, and with the change in winning condition it's not clear to me whether that will still be in place.

Consider the same situation in reverse, if the contest was canadian run. The winner will be the person who can correctly answer The Great Question! (American contestants will need to complete a timed trial.) That probably doesn't reflect actual law, but that's the idea.

This was an issue in Perplex City, I think. Something about it being illegal to award physical prizes fFor some aspect they were trying to implement in season2.

Puzzle 12 is more like the stuff we used to solve here as a group.
