Here's a practice contest. Flex your problem solving muscles and have some fun.

The first clue is:

If you were advanced, you'd search "A" "A" "A" "K" "" but never "ALL" except countries and auctions.

The second clue is a graphic clue.


The winner will be the first person to post the city of origin of this item and the first four letters of the seller's auctions.com ID.

Radh:

Good to see you around.

I set this one up to see whether I'm just too rad ... as in radical thinking...

Follow me a little.

First, notice the word "advanced"... in the first clue (which I further enforced with the second link.)

This should suggest "advanced search".

The clue's are "A" "A" "A" "K"

Starting at the top of search, in the description, you place and "a"

Dropping down you see the field for "item number" ... It makes no sense to place a alpha character in that field as those are all numbers.

The next search criteria is "category" and remember all is not a good search The first selection beginning with an "a" in that dialog box is "Antiques and Decorative Arts" ... the first "a" Select it.

Continue on with this approach and you'll find the answer.

Humm?

Too hard huh?

I guess you'd not be interested in another one like it with a $100 prize?

Someone is going to have to solve this one first.
