* A charter boat operator who gets speared thro...

I need 9 and 10, I think that's the ones. I have now gone through all boards twice clicking on every thread on every page no matter how old on the first page on the screen,  and I am so frustrated now. Only board I haven't gone on is book clubs like I said in an earlier post, there is nothing worse to have a book spoiled by one sentence so I can't go in there.

I just can't do any more than that so unless there will be some hints, I am out.

Congrats to all that found them all and good luck in the drawing Smiley

If it helps, the hint I received wasn't that obvious, but, did help me find 1 egg. I would respectfully withdraw if you would like. I totally unnderstand being fair to everyone, and if I overstepped my bounds, I apologize!

Don't worry about it.  But, folks, remember: the winner will be chosen from among those who find all the eggs.  So if you help each other your reducing your own odds.  Cheesy  Please don't post any hints publicly on the boards or in chat, though.

Thanks,

I think it is so funny that the ONLY eggs I have found are 9 & 10!!!! Huh
I obviously don't read these boards like a "normal" KB addict, if those are the ones so many are having trouble with!  Grin
I found them right off the bat, but hours later...NO MORE!!!!  UGH!!!!! Angry

Finally - found them!  Best virtual Easter Egg Hunt ever!  I'm on vacation and kept running to the computer every chance I got - it took most of the day.  #9 did NOT want to be found!

Great work, you egg-hunters!

Did everybody catch the the first hint that we gave out? I pass it on in a chat session, but here it is in case you missed it:

  "Each board has no more than one egg hidden in it."

And here's your second hint:

  "The eggs were placed in threads that were on the first page of various boards in our forum. Within each thread containing an egg, the egg could be placed in any post - i.e. a recent post or an earlier post. So you might have to page through a multi-page thread to find the egg."

(Also, note that I hid them a few days ago, and some of those threads may have drifted to page 2 by now.)


Over the next few days, we'll give hints out for specific eggs - so keep track of the ones that you still need to find, and maybe you'll see a hint here that will help.

Well poo.  I knew I should've made a note of which board I found the eggs I've found on.   Tongue
