Hi All! Just joined yesterday and loving the site! Quick question. Am I meant to write down clues as I find them or are they stored on my profile somewhere?

No, you need to collect them.

Thanks Agony, that's two I've missed then, doh!

Welcome, Yoofaloof! Don't worry, the clues pop up more than once an in no particular order. The treasure hunt is one of the longer challenges. I've been pursuing it for years! Of course there are others who have found it much quicker than that. Glad you're enjoying the site.

Welcome and watch your step too. There's a little rubber ducky waddling around here and you never know where the dang thing'll turn up.

Have you found the rubber ducky, mehaul! That's very lucky! That's another one that has eluded me since I've been here.

Ha ha thanks. That's ok then, and I'll certainly look out for the duck!

You certainly would be a lucky duck if you find him, I have been waiting anxiously for years for him to appear.!

The duck is mine, all mine I tell you! mwahahahaha!

And I keep her locked up, well away from duck thieves and people who don't know ducks are female. Otherwise it would be a Lucky Drake.

PS Yoofaloof, the Treasure Clues should certainly be written down, I used a Notepad file, some people use Word. If you ever decide to get a new computer, make sure it's in your list of things to transfer/print before the changeover or you'll have to start again.


Reasons for edit: spotted an oops.

The duck lives with me! Here she is, on my wall.

Ooh that's smart... I may have to steal the concept for an avatar.

You lucky duck!

And lest we confuse Yoofaloof needlessly... The Treasure Clues have to do with the Treasure challenge, and the Lucky Ducky is another (totally random) challenge altogether.

I've been chasing the duck ha ha! Thanks for the tips guys.

I want the lucky duck, but the lucky duck doesn't want me

Some things are "funny" when you're a long-time member, but thank goodness shue was nice enough to let a newbie know that ducks have very little to do with the Treasure (but other animals do lol). I wish you luck on your treasure seeking. Quite frankly, it was probably the most (personally) satisfying badge I ever earned. It took me about six months. YMMV (Your mileage may vary).

The Lucky duck is quite elusive - I never see elated posts to say that it has arrived. Does it REALLY get handed out daily, or is that just a myth to keep us hanging on?

I had just about given up on the Lucky Duck, then one day he (she?) magically appeared It's not a myth, but you have to be very patient.

The list of winner is found at http://www.funtrivia.com/badge_winners.cfm?bid=90

It would appear that if the chosen person already has the ducky then it doesn't award that day, as you see there wasn't one given on 1st June nor on 16th May for instance.

I wasn't seriously questioning the duck, just noting that you hear far more people bemoaning its elusiveness than you do celebrating its arrival. If I ever get it, EVERYONE is going to know about it!

One of my team members caught a duck. So they do exist - the Lucky Duck is not as mythical as Nessie (from Loch Ness).

I have already prepared my acceptance speech in readiness for when I am awarded the elusive duck.

I wonder if there is anyone else out there who has been searching for the Treasure for almost four years. I haven't been constant about it, I go in fits and starts... I know that I will really value this badge if and when I ever get it.

I've been searching it since I came to this site, but only started seriously trying to get it a few months ago. Ironically, I've barely gotten any clues since then.

Whenever I read about ducks, it always remind me of the very funny Muppet show sketch, part of the running series Veterinarian Hospital.

I am sure the duck will sometime fly my way. I have already completed the Treasure Hunt fortunately.

I'm still hunting down the treasure. I once had almost all the clues, just to arrive at the conclusion they were mixed up in the wrong order.

I found it really helped to write down all the clues. Then I discovered that the essential clue (for me) was one that I had seen before ... and not written down. So I had to wait a few months more for it to turn up.

I liked the treasure hunt - however, the riddle has caused my brain to melt!

I've got a word document where I have tracked every clue. I write down when I get other information from Monsters and the like. I just can't seem to do whatever it is to crack this nut...

Yippee! After almost four years, victory is mine!

And it all added up to a punctuation mistake that I'd been making for years and didn't realize until now. What a wonderful hunt!

Thanks, Terry, for the convoluted and crazy hoops you made us jump through with that one.

Well done, Sue! Feels good, eh?
