That's seriously where it is?
I thought we were looking for a kindle not a grey smudge lol
Well done to the winner anyway!0 -
I seemed to have been foiled by not clearing my cache too, but I don't quite understand how as I had never visited the site until after this competition started. Looking at it now that it's been pointed out I can see the photo without Kindle on my normal browser, it only shows with Kindle when I open it in Opera (a browser I really never use!)
Not that I would have found it anyway since my patience didn't extend beyond a quick scan of the websites, and the photo is so blurry I'd never have picked that out as a Kindle! Congratulations to the winner, clearly a sharp eyed guy/gal!0 -

I was thinking that, but if you look at the right hand side of the page it says, "sponsored links" on a blue backgroundPosting is a privilege, not a right. This is a privately-owned site.

Godawful clues this time round... the one I've just got (still don't know why they are bothering sending more out after it's been found) is practically the same as the prev. 'zoom in' one. It says 'look closer, it might be small'. That's just the same clue phrased differently. A cryptic clue about buildings would have been far better...MSE wins: 2009 Altec Lansing iPhone speaker dock, 2012 Ribena 'Hunter' wellies :beer:, Local (non MSE) Tesco comp, Kindle Touch!0

Looks like the competition is over! Well done to those who have found it. The clues will still run daily to allow people to do the treasure hunt until Friday (as we promised). We will then announce the location to everyone else and the winner.
We have read all your comments too guys and we are thinking of ways to make the clues etc better. We'll sort it out over the weekend for the new competition starting this Monday coming. The best option we've heard is to put EVERYONE who finds it in a random draw to win it - Instead of the first. So when it gets to Friday, everyone who found it has a chance to win it. We'll confirm this on Monday.
About 12 people found it this week - do you guys think it was too hard?0 -
It wasn't that it was hard, but the clues were too vague and the picture was so blurry it blended completely into the background (see comments above). I like the harder competitions, but maybe post a pic up of the actual image we are supposed to be finding when the comp starts? I was expecting it to be tiny, that's fine, but not as blurry as that!MSE wins: 2009 Altec Lansing iPhone speaker dock, 2012 Ribena 'Hunter' wellies :beer:, Local (non MSE) Tesco comp, Kindle Touch!0

That's a good idea: We'll show the exact image you are looking for in future.0
