Please, have a tolerance for new participants, who don't understand the rules well...

Your first entry is your only entry NO EXCEPTIONS.

This obviously means - if I send an answer, I can't correct it anymore. But what about the container message?
I mean - may I send a PM with answers 3 and 4, and later send another PM with answer 5? (And have all answers accepted, provided they're correct)

Now I have a problem. I have some answers, but question 5 is problematic and I might have an answer later. That's why am asking so urgently.

This is not a map, so the question is totally inadequate. If it's not deliberately, I'd like to see it corrected as soon as possible. Possible questions are:
- Which map is this picture a part of?
- On which CC map this picture associates you?

The clock is ticking and Razorvich is offline. Could I hear some opinions of more experienced participants?

EDIT:
While I was writing, this post has showed up:

CC map, you mean?

I don't think it's supposed to be easy. I got my own understanding of that question, which may not be the correct one anyway.. But being in the contest it's not really in my best interest to share it

I also had my own understanding. It was so firm that I haven't even noticed the inadequacy of the formulation, until less than hour ago.

So you think the question is deliberately meaningless... You gave your opinion, I appreciate that. Thanks!

EDIT:
Razorvich is online, he'll correct or confirm the formulation

It is a snip of a cc map...

I am also tollerent to anyone having a crack at this event

I decided for Day 6, but I still need the answer to this question:

I mean - may I send a PM with answers 3 and 4, and later send another PM with answer 5? (And have all answers accepted, provided they're correct)

Yes you can... there is a 0.5 point late free for past days

Will we know how many answers we've got right?
The clues to the treasure are intriguing...

EDIT: I've found them. However, they weren't too helpful...

When you create a PM message or a forum post, there are "Tags" you can use. They are located at the top of your construction box

I don't see how your answer/comment is related to my question, but when you're giving me an opportunity...

I know everything about tags, except one thing - how to squeeze them from some post in a locked thread. Normally, you click "quote" and you get the editor with the code of the target post. However, if the thread is locked, you get a warning instead of editor.
HOW to see the code of some post, if it's thread is locked???

P.S. When it concerns my original question...
I hoped that I'll find the whole deductive process revealed. But I've found only fragments that are not really helpful. Maybe I should revisit the 2018 hunt (2019 is totally useless)...

I think I understand what you are asking. All threads, including LOCKED ones have a title at the top of the post. When you hover your mouse over it, it becomes underlined.
If you RIGHT CLICK and then COPY LINK ADDRESS.... then paste that link in a message, when you click that link it will take you to the exact post whether locked or not.

Everyone is still welcome to submit all days entries. The reason for saying that your first entry is your only entry is to stop my inbox being filled up in a real hurry.

I THINK I've turned in enough for a second clue according to the guidelines...but I also think I went about this contest the WRONG way, as mentioned (but not particularly clarified) in the guidelines. C'est la vie, I suppose.

You're a good guy for running this event, Raz! Keep up the good work!

Thanks for doing this. It was actually quite fun. Sorry for the glut of submissions, I missed the start. Hopefully I submitted at least a few correctly.

Thx Razor for organizing the Scavenger Hunt

I was so overwhelmed by impossible tasks, that this question remained unattacked:

I think we are still in misunderstanding, OR our systems are different...
I am easily getting this exact post... But I am not able to get THE CODE of that post.
