TBT's Seventh Annual Easter Egg Hunt

[Paperboy012305]

Did anyone else just go straight to the TBT Fair 2017 closing thread when Egg 20's clue was read.

Yeah. What does Video Game Music have to do with High Scores?

I was also looking for a thread about your high score, IE: “What was your high score in a video game? but no luck.

I didn’t think of looking in the Video Game Soundtrack thread, I thought if an egg has been hidden in a thread before it cannot be hidden in the same thread again. But that’s not true apparently.

The "scores" to your high scores. It's a music reference

i got that but there were so many it could have been any of them, also 2nd page was a bit too close again to be tbt.

also i thought good luck was basically good luck solving it lol?

 

[Zura]

Yeah, Im just mad i didnt realize score was referencing music.

Honestly same
It took me a lot of brain power to figure out the hidden meaning lol

everything in the clue is always there for a reason.... even is something seems trivial. I thought the same thing, but when trying to piece things together I figured Good Luck and lotteries were connected. Also luck and shamrocks

I really wish I could have figured out just 4 more clues because then I'd have enough to get either a dreamy egg or a nightmare egg, but I literally could not figure out any more than the 6 I got, I tried so hard but unfortunately I'm too shy and awkward to be that active in the forums and I stopped using the forums for a few years so I didn't understand the references at all lol, as soon as I saw the one about stu I knew it had to be a villagers birthday on the 20th so I went to my animal crossing birthday calendar that I got as a printout from my Nintendo or whatever and it definetly came in good use lol, I had a lot of fun although I wish I could had figured out more of the puzzles myself but I never would have gotten them lol but it was one of those things where you want to solve it so bad, I didn't even care about the eggs with those I just wanted to solve it XD

 

[Paperboy012305]

Wow. I wish I could just look into the clues more carefully instead of going to thread on thread to get lucky.

I gotta learn these strats.

 

[Alienfish]

Lol yeah I never learn to read the clues properly except maybe that egg reveal one and fools gold lol. but yeah good luck seemed too trivial and random false algebra whut lol

I went to the calendar from My Nintendo too, and I saw T-Bone on the 20th. Little did I know, I accidentally skipped to the month of May. I wish I had double checked my spot, especially since scrolling was so laggy, but I just exited and figured I was on the wrong lead. :c
I just needed two more eggs to get a different collectible too.

i posted about being annoyed when i found it because i found two other game soundtrack threads, one about calming game music and one about favourite OSTs, but managed to skip past the game soundtracks one with the egg in, so i gave up but went back the next day and luckily found it.

Idk if I saw that one but like hundreds of other one with game music so I'm like ugh..why jer sorry not appreciating u lol

Staff members, answer this question, pronto!

Did you extend the Bulletin Board threads so we can see the 2013 threads in there so the Egg 21 could be answered?

I sure did.

 

[Lancelot]

yeah it was (also are we even allowed to write that f-word i got warned for it lol)

nothing really, unless it's like probability it's not really associated with it. also 20 was a bit dumb honestly, there are several soundtrack threads and i think they stretched that one since we had relaxing and probably one named fav soundtracks as well and it was a bit too much straight in your face to be a typical tbt clue. so yeah doing one specific when we have like idk 5 at least??

3+6 were the winning numbers and resulted (=) in 12 winners. Good luck refers to the clover. Its pretty straight forward and got a lot to do with the post really.

A score can also mean a musical score hence the music theme. The high score bit suggested it was in a game thread.

Really you just have to look through all the threads you think it can be till you find it.

 

[Paperboy012305]

I sure did.

You see guys, if we saw that one coming, we could have answered it.

 

[cornimer]

That one was a fluke on the mods part. They could have at least tried to make that hint coherent. Like what does math have to do with lottery?

The plus sign in 3 + 6 was used to replace the word "and" I think, so when the lottery numbers were 3 *and* 6 there were 12 winners, hence 3 + 6 = 12. Looks like math but it also says the answer if you read it a different way.
I understand why a lot of people didn't get it as it's easy to misread but I thought it was really clever. Personally I got it because I was one of the people who won with a 3-6 combo and I remembered there were around 12 winners that day, so it popped out at me pretty fast

Oh I see Ben just wrote a post explaining it too oops

Yeah, but unless you like, yeah won or somehow had that idea it being a "and" or just a comma it was just annoying. I'm not that mad about it cause I was probably trying to find that or others in those threads so. Score annoys me more though since it wasn't a specific thread in that sense really and could have been any of those...Favourite or Relaxing would have made more sense since those could have helped you get a high score or something idk :/

that last part was unnecessary, i think we all know that lol. it?s easy to miss when it's vague like score.

High Scores (games) and Music is fine lol, favourite would of made it too easy. Its a hunt not tell us where the eggs are. The whole point is you gotta look through places you think it could be haha.
The whole point or a clue is that its vague lmao

Edit: Like I get it's frustrating being close and not getting them, but at the end of they day you gotta put in the effort and look through several threads to find it and look out for more links along the way

 

[TykiButterfree]

How did I miss the one in the forum maintenence thread? When I get confused, I just start clicking every bulletin board thread looking foe eggs. I solved a couple this way without knowing what clue they were for.

I also had Easter egg hunt as a guess for 21 before the hint. That should be right.
