Hey everybody. Ryan has a great idea for a new contest for eduFire that we’re going to kick off tomorrow. The way the contest works is that we’ve picked a place in the world and each day we’re going to be releasing a new clue. Each member of our community is allowed one guess per day and the first one who posts the correct answer will receive a really cool grab bag of prizes including:

• One free session with any of our tutors here at eduFire
• A $50 gift certificate to LearnOutLoud.com
• A super-cool and tough-to-find eduFire T-shirt (when they are printed which will be later this year :))
• The prestige of knowing that you bested your peers and have a great knowledge of geography (or perhaps just really good Google skills!)

Looking forward to kicking this off. Check back in the forums regularly for new clues!!!

Cool, sounds fun!!

Excellent!

How fun!

Bring it on!

Nice. I will win!!!

Riddler…hehehe!!

No idea, but I’m going to guess Chile since there is supposedly a lot of copper there.

I’m focusing on Copper and tone and therefore Coppertone suntan lotion – but trying to figure out the first clue in there too -

I’m going to guess Argentina. If I’m correct, I’ll let you know why I went there! ;)

Oh that is precious!

Well, what about Copper Mountain? That’s too easy, isn’t it. Darn. O.K. next clue, please.

Marco!!! Seriously, I just spurted almond milk out of my nose. That picture is absolutely hilarious.

I AM THE RIDDLER! And none of you have solved my riddles yet!!!

:)

Nice one Marco! That is hilarious! The almond milk visual was pretty good too.

My pleasure! The real question is, was Jon drinking almond milk at the time or is that a normal response? Yikes!

Hey this is a new competition in itself?!

Standing by for the next clue…

Is it Maine?

Just because I saw the movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall I’m gonna say Hawaii

Oooh good guess….copper sun and beaches!

I thinking Brazil — Ipanema.

Great guesses everyone…but no one has the correct answer yet. :)

Since it’s a holiday weekend here in the U.S. and a lot of people are away from their computers the next clue will be coming on Tuesday. This gives you a bit more time to noodle on this!

Aw that’s not even cool….oh well guess it’s just not cool for us lame people who work all holiday weekend… >.<

:)

Well, I’m one of those lame people who’ll be spending most of the holiday weekend working on eduFire! :)

That’s totally not lame…if I could work on the net this weekend I definitely would…but alas I have to go and make pizzas and subs for muh-lah..lol…but I haven’t had a mean customer yet so I guess it’s not too bad..plus the people I work with are cool…but still working on the net is much better for a geek like myself… ;)

O the Humanity. To make us wait until Tuesday for another clue is just cruel. How about late Monday buddy.
