I'd have the same list apart from possibly Stargazing instead of Hunted, but either could be correct. I suggested Coast plus Vikings but was then persuaded by Jersey Shore. I think the point about it being on MTV is important and if I use the latter I'm still searching for the missing clue. My best guess is the rope but hard to think of anything good for that.
Good luck. It's not about the prize for me any more. I just want to know the answers.

I went for Hunted as they used a similar clue last year for the cube.
Then all the other stars in the picture could still be Stargazing or The Sky at Night giving you the last clue. But I went for Coast and Vikings as I believe them to be two distinct clues with too much of a gap between them to be one clue. You pays your money and takes your choice I suppose.

Good Luck.

I went for "A Place by the Sea" as it's less obscure than "Coast" in my opinion.

This is still driving me bonkers! :rotfl:

I'm stuck on 49 clues, I'm convinced that the answer to the signs one is Jersey Shore so one clue, so I think Harbour Books must be a clue?

Going with The Harbour, probably totally wrong but want to put 50 answers!

I'm not really bothered about winning it anymore, I just can't wait until they release the answers now, shame it looks like it will be another few weeks! :eek:

Good Luck everyone and Thanks! :T

I know the comp is now closed (10/01/2013)
But I would like to dispute the
"jersey shore" answer.

I believe the road sign "To The Sea" is COAST.

The "horns": I don't think are horns.
(If they are horns, then the show is "Vikings")

I believe there is are two clues in the "horns"
I think the "horns" are tusks of an African Elephant:
and in between the tusks is the antennae or legs
of a bee, chiefly a Queen African Honey Bee.
Both creatures featured in "NATURAL WORLD"

Comments welcome.




I will add the 50th answer later:
The clue (not the answer) was touched on by Ramsfan,
on 03-01-2013.

I think the chapel is probably the one that is featured in Homeland

There are 6 letters which seem to form the following:
M A X S O S
Extrapulate this to form:
MAX = BIG
SOS = SOS

Final Answer:
DIY SOS: The Big Build
Good Luck to all that have entered.

Don't be ridiculous! I have looked on Google Streetview at the original one-way sign at Whitstable, and the characters on the post look like "HAX 505", probably the number of the sign, and the stuff between the horns is part of the lampshade and background.

I tried to paste photos but got rejected for "more than 25000 characters", so would like to know how you did yours.
