15 Nov2007
THE TREASURE HUNT HAS ENDED. CLUES HAVE BEEN REMOVED. WINNERS WILL BE POSTED SOON.
Ten clues have been imbedded amongst over 1,400 posts in the archives of Marketmanila. To have a chance at winning the GRAND PRIZE of three Marketman jams, you will have to find all 10 clues in serial (consecutive) fashion. You might stumble across a clue if you just go madly checking archived posts, but trust me, it won’t work out for you if you take that random approach or any other shortcuts. I have spies that can cross-check your work…heeheehee.
So here is how it works. I will start you off with a “pre-clue” below. Use some key words from the “pre-clue” below and input those words into the search function of this site to look for posts which may or may not contain the next clue. Check each of those posts, or at least the most likely ones. The next clue will be embedded at the end of the appropriate post. Not at the end of comments section, at the end of the post. Unlike earlier contests, I will NOT indicate if you have reached the wrong post. You will only get the next clue if you check the correct or intended post. Continue onwards until you have found all 10 consecutive clues and follow the instructions carefully on that 10th and final clue. I expect that a few dozen marketmaniacs will persevere and will figure this out. Do not get tarantated (a marketmanism), read “ta-rant-tay-ted.” You have until 4 p.m. on Friday to keep at this and figure it out. You can do a few clues, mark your progress and return a few hours later to do some more. Only one entry per person please.
This does not take an unusually high I.Q. to complete. Patience and perserverence is more like it. And if you can’t figure it out, maybe you will at least come across previous posts that you have not yet read or may be of interest to you, so all of your efforts are not wasted. I wish you all good luck!!! But only one CHAMPION treasure hunter shall prevail. Geez, I hope my server doesn’t explode with this game, it nearly did with the Little Brown Book Contest, with a 300% increase in page views the other day…
PRE-CLUE:
Marketman did a major rant over two years ago against intrusive marketing tactics of real estate agents trying to sell apartment units at the Serendra Complex of Ayala Land.

hey marketman, i haven’t started the treasure hunt yet. i just wanted to share that it’s just funny that my mom also uses the word “tarantated” hahaha :P
and no she doesn’t read your blog. hahaha i just found it funny… :) quite surprised that someone else uses the word. hahaha gets kinda embarrassing (sometimes) when she uses it outside our home…hahaha but she’s my mom and i love her whatever weird word she comes up with. :)
cheers
