How I found the Shvoong Treasure As you know, Shvoong organized this month the second edition of their Treasure Hunt. Anyone with a Shvoong account can enter and I strongly encourage you to do so. You will find the first
clue after
reading the rules of the contest. Pay attention to it because it doesn't only contain the information to get to the next clue, it also gives you the main topic the whole Hunt and you will need it when you get to the last one. Now, how to move from clue number 1 to clue number 2. First of all, locate the main "object", for instance, this time it is not talking about the creator itself, it is about his work. The
article you will have to search for will be about his work. However, do not discard any piece of information, look for a person with those traits, read and learn about him, you will soon discover what the clue was talking about. Next, search through Shvoong for the topic and you will find THE article with the second clue. It is very rewarding to find it. Before you start running around like crazy, take your time to email that page to the people of Shvoong (mandatory) and post a comment to let the
rest know you are there, don't worry if you are not the first, there are five more clues to deciphre and you may speed up later. If you are too late, well, better luck next time or prepare better by reading assorted articles. The same goes for the rest of the clues. Identify the important "object" and take all the different approaches than may come to your mind. Be cosmopolitan! Learn a few words from different languages. Don't just read about your country, take a look at your country from the perspective of the rest of the world. Soon, you will find yourself eager to learn about other countries and other cultures. You have an open window to see the world, take advantage of that, we don't know how long that priviledge is going to last. Are you an expert internet surfer? Don't hesitate to lurk around all sorts of websites, not everything is writen in the wikipedia, maybe a record store will have an answer, maybe a simple online boutique, you never know where the key information will come from, but when it does, embrace it. Never give up, even if you think you are lost, keep reading, jump from one article to another. Remember that Shvoong contributors are smart people and they have been posting very useful information. Even if you don't find the next clue, you would have already learned a lot. Don't ever forget that Knowledge is Power.
