Topic: Contest: WTHAI?: Win up to 20 BTC Daily - page 2. (Read 7425 times)
I'm no good with the clues given! The first one was easy because it was so narrowed-down. I fear I'm not even close with any of the others though...
It did, and now I am done. I just spent an hour charting the area around Vilnius and if it is there I am not going to find it. I hope someone else find's it before I am tempted to go look again.
BTW: if anyone is ever lost in the area around Vilnius, give me a call since I am an expert now
edit:
I guess posting this on Mechanical Turk goes against the spirit of the game right?
(if it isn't clear: this is a joke)

(if it isn't clear: this is a joke)My dad was born outside of Vilnius. To clarify my post to you, Peru is spot on, while Lithuania is close. Sorry for having you becoming an expert on my fatherland.

Although the results will make the contest too easy, thus shutting this down, perhaps if you present it to those on Mechanical Turk in such a way that they would tackle the problem. I suggest doing so without mentioning this contest, thereby someone reading the rules may decide that it's not worth their time. If a solution is found by that team, imagine how that tool could possibly be used for other applications, a tool that may otherwise not be developed for years to come if it weren't presented earlier. You may even be able to win a couple coins in the process. Good luck with this endeavor.

(if it isn't clear: this is a joke) I think 6 is near Vilnius (because of the clue and the appearance of the woods around Vilnius). I just think I really suck at this game, I really can't find any of these 
And with respect to the number 3 hint. Pan flutes are really popular in Peru. I checked out some of the find places of Peruvian pan flutes (temples) but it looks really different. Google loads really slowly in Peru as well and the colorings are quite inconsistent as well. No clue.

Yep! You really suck at this game. You take the time to get so close, inform others your damn good findings, then give up. After providing you this kind revelation, care to give it another whirl?

Is WTAI 5 near Sanfebagar, Nepal?
No!
I was totally going to search some more for this, and interpret your hints, but with the rally just now I don't have any time anymore before going to a new year's party. So, happy new year, and I'll be back next year
And I thought for sure you were going to be the first repeat winner. Here's looking at the stroke of midnight.

I tried Google maps but even small islands are huge, so I'll just verify my guesses first.
WTHAI 1: Gotland, the largest island in the Baltic sea. NO

WTHAI 3: Holy crap! All of Peru looks like your picture! I guess it's in the North, in one of the parks.
WTHAI 5: "Maybe" What does that mean? In any case, all of India is apparently made out of old river delta >_< I'm guessing it's near the sea.
WTHAI 6: Ukraine
