Treasure hunt

Yet again went to another Treasure Hunt by EM. This time its only in KL. In Great Eastern Mall and The Weld to be exact. It was kinda easy by their normal standard but I was a little disappointed we didnt get a good placing. We made careless mistakes and everything was so close. We figured and timed everything quite well but it was just too close. There weren't enough tough questions to differentiate the good decoding strategic team with the others.

I believed we got only a couple unfigured answers which were:
  1. Q: 50 in 43? - A: Blush : L =50 and 43 is Bush (43rd president). Geram cause the Q should put 43rd instead of 43
  2. Q: Speilbergs list - A: Schindlers : we were looking all over (walls, signs, etc) for the answer but it was the logo on the floor of an escalator.
A few others we didnt get was due to spelling error and me putting in 2 sachets of sweetener instead of the instructed 1 for the treasure (biggest flop - i feel bad letting my team down).

For the error our excuse was that while hunting in the mall, everybody was so closed and tried to copy or figure out by watching each other. So we were sooo worried that we didnt really copy properly. As for the sachets of sweetener, we had to get the treasure from the organizer and they tricked us into giving 2 while we had to hand in only 1. They also keep pressuring not the see other teams see cause there were like 3 other teams lining up behind me. So I just hurried and stashed it away without looking back.. my bad guys.

But apart from that, I believe we did tremendously well but it was just too close. The only 2 teams that got the really hard questions and so forth. The food on the other hand was superb. Didnt take pics cause was too hungry after the hunt. A special thanks to Shahir and Sakeenah for being great team mates. We sure did have fun!!!!!
