> black impurities

Slag... flux.... lead... there are many secondary materials used when smelting precious metals. Lead is used to scavenge the precious metal from ore. Flour can be used as a source of carbon to assist in fusion of the metal. The black impurities are... not silver.

This goes into exhaustive detail including the choice of boneash for a cup:

Thanks, I did a search, it never came up for me with Scavenger Hunt. When you go to the link it says "Sacavenger".

Congrats your arghness. >> ^arghness:

Yay! Thanks to Lucky760 and Random.org for this, as well as a far more civilised way to find interesting videos than browsing YouTube

Wait, I just typed "answer" on my typewriter and nothing happened. Is it supposed to start my PC and print out the tardis prize? Do I have to cover up the keywords on my monitor with wite-out first?


Someone told me you had to write "mouse click" on the screen, but nothing happened and now I can't get it off.

>> ^burdturgler:

"Answer" pages?


Yes. A page with an answer (a.k.a. keyword).

The instructions for this contest make absolutely no sense at all.


Well that's no good. It's certainly not our intention to make the instructions hard to follow.

Please help us clarify one bit at a time. What makes no sense about this part?

We'll give you a starting clue and you'll use it to find a video on VideoSift that has keyword #1.

It's intended to inform that we'll give you a starting clue and you should use that to find a specific video that has keyword #1. What makes no sense about the next part?

Along with that keyword will be a clue for #2, and so on.

This is intended to inform that along with keyword #1 will be a clue instructing how to find keyword #2. What makes no sense about the next part?

There is a total of four clues for this contest.

This is intended to inform that you will need to find four clues and keywords. After that, the instructions say that once you have your four keywords, you join them together with a dash "-" and browse that page on videosift.com. It even includes an example.

We definitely want it to be as clear as possible. Please help us understand the part(s) with which you're having difficulty making any sense. Thanks!

Was the larger than life sized version unavailable?


That's way too big!

Professor DerHasisttot: The quest for the tardis is not a scavenger hunt, it's a race against evil. If it is captured by the sifties, the armies of darkness will march all over the face of the earth. Do you understand me?
Indiana Jones: This is an obsession, DerHasisttot. I've never understood it. Never. Neither did Mom.
Professor DerHasisttot: Oh yes she did. Only too well. Unfortunately, she kept her illness from me. All I could do was mourn her.

I have to be honest and say that I really enjoy this contest so far. And also the bonus scavenger hunt: Finding all the ways it's still possible to see who submitted what video

"I feel that the shark and I had an understanding..." uhuh. Now granted I'm just guessing too, but I think this is the level of the sharks understanding bite shit = food. It was probably in scavenging mode vs. hunting mode. No need to expend energy leaping out of the water for something that's right in front of your face.

I REALLY REALLY DID NOT LIKE that last scavenger hunt, not one bit. It confused the shit out of me and I did not get very far. So its just another way to exclude the stupid people.

How 'bout a Sift "Scavenger Hunt." Clues take you on a journey across the vast reaches of the Sift.

Don't be such a square, daddy-o, here have a stalk of only slightly dirty celery and be groovy.
