The Allison Wonderland

The Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt is part of the St. Paul Winter Carnival every year. While the prize can only go to one winner, The Allison Wonderland is dedicated to the community spirit of treasure hunting. Here, not only will you find out about the Pre-Dig Gig, the Rehash Bash, and various other social events, but we also discuss the clues here in a team effort to decipher them (albeit not always successfully). This is a place to discuss ideas respectfully, report on what's happening "on the ground", and provide each other with useful information. This is a public group so expect that anything posted will be seen by everyone.

Re: Clue Explainations
The "mashed rice" = Archimedes = kids on a teeter totter? Good lord! Also baffling: rhymes = Eyedea = knowing his lyrics enough to recognize the heavenly view?

Even if you did use the board to confuse us, though, there would be all sorts of ethical questions that the Pioneer Press would likely raise about you
Re: Medallion Found
The #1 rule of hunting, never trust the cluewriter. If I was the cluewriter I'd just use this board to confure you all even more! hehehe

I could just use the same clues (1-10), but put it in Lilydale under the high bridge, and look like a genius. ________________________________ From: Lori W.
Re: Medallion Found
It would be AMAZING to have David as the cw. But unfortunately, he can never be the cluewriter, because then he couldn't run this discussion board, and we

With all of the available places to hide the medallion i'm disappointed that they have to keep going back to previous hunt locations ... With all of the

Re: Medallion Found
I would have to concur on the clues. It seems like Obscurity ruled and the what's his name's razor was thrown out with the trash. Lots of things left without

Re: Medallion Found
Previously I said I was disappointed in the clues this year. Now I'm going to come out and say it's time for a new cluewriter. These clues were beyond
