Hi! I've just registered for this as well, bit behind but I have just got the following from a friend who’s completed the first trial. It looks like a clue for the next trial – so should should get me up with everyone else.

“We are following the path of discovery... juliantrubin.com/bigten/archimedesprinciple.html”

 

[richhill1982]

I signed up even though I am not in the UK but I did not do very well on the 1st one

I suppose it was a bit of luck that I got the top score but I did spend a lot of time trying to research where the answer might be using the racecouse and river mentioned in the watchmans clues along with a map to find a close an answer as possable

my score is rubbish! I'm on about 1800 ish altogether. Still it is good fun and I learnt a couple of geography points!
The last part got me -putting a pin in a random place, it realy was totally random and I had to try it about 5 times. Is there any logic to how to work out where to guess or is it just the area from the last trial?

 

[sanityassassin]

For the first quest there was hints to help pinpoint the position but the second I had no idea there was no real landmarks there are no maps on the net to compare so it was a random guess

 

[richhill1982]

Yeah I'm kinda stuck on the 3rd trial at the moment...

[sanityassassin]

do you have any idea where to look for the final prize? I've completed all the tasks with reasonable scores but way behind the leaders points score
