Anyone doing this?
http://www.starbucks.com/retail/crossword.asp
The nearest Starbucks is an hour or so from me. But you can send for the puzzles via mail by sending an SASE to the address listed in the rules. There are six puzzles....they all contain clues to a treasure hunt.
First prize, a coffee a day for life (1460USD)!
I'm gonna try it. I love puzzles

Well, I've solved all seven puzzles..answered all but one of the trivia questions (I haven't been able to figure out just what the question is LOL)..
I've decoded the morse code message.
And..I'm left with a slew of words and/or letters...and don't know wtf to do with them LOL
Contest is over on 4 April...I'm missing something that will help me make sense of what I have so far with regard to clues/hints.../sigh
Did anyone else wind up doing this??

I like crossword puzzles and all kinds of puzzles, but be damned if I'm going to go buy a Fourbucks coffee when there's a Timmy's on every corner .

I live in Southern Arkansas, Finigan...need I say more? LOL
I didn't buy the coffee or even go there..I sent in the SASE's and got the puzzles via mail.
Tomorrow is the deadline and I am no closer to solving /cry...
edit: btw, the prize is figured out to come to $73K if you win and are 18 years of age..it's an annuity, paid out at about $1460 per year...or you can take a lump sum of like $32K I think?

Wendy's now owns Tim Horton's. There are about 300 stores in the NE US now. They just did an IPO to raise the capital to open a few hundred more south of the border.
