Okay, it seems it is that time again. I have gathered a heap of coins and currency lately that I have no idea what to do with, mostly non-US items, but hey, who knows what I might add! Anyway, I decided I would revisit my old contest with a little big of a scavenger hunt online. OBVIOUSLY I have a thing for foxes, it's somewhat of a given, lol. So I am going to have a fox-themed scavenger hunt.

Here are the rules:

Find all 10 images online (Image searches will help but may not be where I found my image)

You can only post images for 2 clues a day (I want to draw this out a bit LOL)
You must post either the exact image or a similarly themed image to the one I found and saved on my computer to get the points
You can post 2 different images for the same clue (a possible 4 images each day)

Here is what you are looking for: (These are a little vague to keep things interesting!)

1) A SNEAK ATTACK KIT
2) EAGLE VS FOX
3) BLUEGRASS FOX
4) TINY WHITE FENNEC
5) BLACK VULPES
6) TO BLEND IN WITH THE ENEMY
7) CARTOON TWIN TAIL
8) MOUSE SWAT
9) HOVERING FOX
10) FOX PROOF COIN

The prizes are, as always with me and my quirky nature, a mystery.
There will be a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place.
Contest ends in 5 days or until the last image is found!
GOOD LUCK!

Awesome contest! I've always loved the first image (got it in a recent forwarded email from my dad.) and with the new nintendo game out, I remembered sonic's friend Tails.
thedeadpoint
By the way, the first image is for 7) Cartoon Twin Tail. The second image is for 6) to blend in with the enemy.


I need to go back to studying for my final!!!

Wait, if we can only post 2 a day, and we use each post on 2 different clues each day, and this ends in 5 days, then how is it possible for one person to get all 10 right unless they get them in their first try?

It was kinda an either or situation. Either 5 days (Which means the first guesses are correct) or when the final image is found. smile.gif

10) FOX PROOF COIN



1) A SNEAK ATTACK KIT



roaddevil
todays bunch :-

HOVERING FOX (hmm its a bat but the description said flying fox ..sooo flying hovering all the same tongue.gif )




TINY WHITE FENNEC

roaddevil

ai smile.gif <3 ahh but still more of a wolf/dog person tongue.gif
Vfox
You can use the same images as someone else, however you or they may or may not be correct. So far we have a few correct images, you guys are going well. smile.gif
thedeadpoint
A stretch, but a black vulpes?



another stretch: ninja fox

NumisMattic2200
8) MOUSE SWAT



Vfox
Ok I think I'll give you guys a little push. smile.gif

So far the correct images are:
#4
#5
#6
#7
#8
#10

So only four more to go. I am still not saying whos are correct but I think with a little deciphering you can figure it out. If you want to change any of your pictures post them below saying which you are changing, it WILL NOT count towards your daily picture guesses.

Good luck! smile.gif

Also, #2 is VERY close, but remember I want the exact pictures! tongue.gif
thedeadpoint
Hovering Fox



Eagle vs Fox



I wasn't even close with my sneak attack kit (ninja fox)??
roaddevil
MOUSE SWAT




CARTOON TWIN TAIL


thedeadpoint

Bluegrass fox - from the Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival logo.

a banjo brand known as the red fox




Vfox
Okay, so far nobody got any new images that are correct but Thedeadpoint is certainly getting closer to one of them. smile.gif

A hint for another one, the Bluegrass Fox clue:
It is a song, not a group. tongue.gif

Also, here is a little something to push you guys into finding them. (And maybe convince a few others to join in!!!!)....These are a few of the piles of stuff I have that I will be pulling from to make up these prize lots. (Each lot will contain multiple items and lot size/value ranges depending on the which place you earn.)



thedeadpoint
I wish I knew what I was getting closer too!

Hovering kit - I'm feeling good about this one



Bluegrass fox -



There is a bluegrass song called 'fox on the run' but I can't find any images of it, just video. Oh man, its spring, that means I can whip out my bluegrass music without seeming crazy!
Vfox
Hmm, not a bad guess on the music.....but it is a different song, and I don't think they had a video although you may be able to find it on youtube anyway.

Here is another clue. ((5CENTS)) wink.gif


Oh and you're totally wrong on the hovering fox images. tongue.gif
thedeadpoint
alright. i give up on the hovering fox one. I can't believe I found a helicopter (a HOVERING vehicle) KIT called the silverfox and it's not right!!!

Oh, and I figured out the clue for the bluegrass thing but I can't find an image... Well, I can find something similar (I doubt it's the right one). I'll wait til tomorrow to post it.
Vfox
Well the clue was hovering fox, not hovering kit......I think I should give a better clue for that one however, it's pretty vague.

#9's extra clue is:

Mid pounce fox.
roaddevil
mid pounce fox




5cents


Vfox
I gatta say, that tiny fox pic isn't the one I have but that is a great shot regardless.

But, no new answers have been found. smile.gif
thedeadpoint
sneaky kit - i like the first one



Bluegrass fox - apparently this is a frame from a video set to the song The Fox by Nickel Creek

Vfox
ok.gif

#2 and #9 are the only ones missing.

Once you guys find the last two images you then have to choose your final 10.
Good luck smile.gif

#2 Eagle vs. Fox...

#9 Hovering Fox...

hovering fox :-




eagle vs fox


thedeadpoint
Not fair, V! I've got shoddy internet service for the next few days!
Vfox
Clive your #2 isn't working.

Thedeadpoint, I never said which images are correct, I just said certain ones are found. So until someone finds #2 and #9 everyone will have to continue to search, and choose their final images.

I am nearly certain you guys can figure out the last two, but I am curious if anyone will choose all ten images correctly. Once the final images are found I will be giving you all one try to pic which 10 you want as your final answer. The more wrong images found the harder this becomes, so it's.....fun....for me anyway, lol.

Seriously though there are only 5 of you playing, so placing in the top 3 shouldn't be too hard lol. Plus, to make up for my mid-game changes, the person who found the most correct images FIRST (not on the final guess) will get a bonus.

I seemed to have used this clue for "sneak attack kit" and apparently those images qualified as an answer. So this hint applies to another clue too? Interesting.
YeOldeCollector
My #2 should work now Vfox.
Vfox
Yes, yes it does.


#9 anyone? biggrin.gif
thedeadpoint
QUOTE(Vfox @ Mar 24 2008, 06:26 AM) *
Yes, yes it does.
#9 anyone? biggrin.gif


wanna give us a hint as to who the closest is to number 9?
NumisMattic2200
Is there just #9 left to identify or 9 & 2, or more??

9) HOVERING FOX

9) HOVERING FOX



I bet that's a winner
NumisMattic2200
Need a clue for the ten correct answers we have to pick - do they all have to contain foxes in them?
Vfox
Although a cool pic, no.

It is pretty close though.

Clue time:

Think fluffy tail with a bright white tip
Think tall grass
Think a 3/4 view pic

Now go hunt this one down! smile.gif

Yes, they all contain a picture of a fox. If you've been paying attention only 3-4 of them will have more than one possible answer.


BUT FIRST!

Find #9 smile.gif

V, do I need to go through my earlier entries and fix the guesses to what I think is right? or do I make a post with all 10 in them?

Make a new entry for the 10 images. This way all the old images are still here and people will have both right and wrong answers to choose from.

Number nine has been found!
