How many clues will there be?
16
Do the clues in the three divisions
all lead to the same locations?
Yes
Will the clues be in geographic order?
They will be in order in the Beginners division, but
not in the Regular or Masters division.
Do we get all
the clues at the start?
You'll
get half at the start, and half at the mid-point, Justin
Herman Plaza.
Are the clues
independent of each other?
Yes. If you can't solve a
clue, skip it and go to the next one! You'll never
be unable to continue.
How do we prove
we solved a clue?
All of
the clues require "environmental" information
that you will find at the clue site and write down on
your answer sheets.
Almost
without exception, the first part of each clue will direct
you to a specific location, such as a street intersection,
business, park, monument, or whatever. This is the "armchair"
part of the clue, which you can solve in advance.
The second
part of each clue may not - probably will not - make sense,
or be solveable, until you get to the location clued by
the first part of the clue.
At that
location, you should start working on the second part
of the clue, which will make sense to you if you find
the right visual cues in the environment. Solve the second
part of the clue, go to the final clue site, and write
down whatever information is required, that you will find
at that site. Et voila - you've proved your team has solved
the clue!
