Why would anyone need to use a hint? I mean, Google agribusiness + 1995 and you're golden.

So that's why googling "Cash Cow" over and over didn't help....

I didn't want to skew the results by submitting my response.

Also, without voting you should have no way of knowing if I voted or not. Hitting "view results" is only allowed for the poll creator.

Well, I will admit that this treasure hunt has certainly improved my web search skills. :geek:

With Google, one can find a website to do that for you. :shake:

Couldn't get anything with -genic there, anyway.

Isn't that cheating?

And with google, it doesn't matter if the subjects are male-oriented. Besides, girls like music and kitties, too, don't they, Kaia?

Hey, where did that post go?

Lol, I deleted it because I thought I screwed up and posted it in the wrong place that would give away an answer this week.

Don't remember who's shown me what anymore...

Oh, whew. I know I'm crazy, but that threw me for a loop there. :tfh:

I understand, but I doubt it was any different than Werewolf's clue above. :shrug:

Yeah, I thought this was a puzzle solving competition not an internet resource competition. I've been solving all of these puzzles myself.

Although I will admit that I had to get out my CD collection for the track number on one song. But I listened to the CD so I figure that wasn't cheating.

Using Excel is cheating too.

I did get out a calculator for that puzzle about the new coinage system. But I checked my work by hand afterwards, so I figure that wasn't cheating.

Four people have cheated in this contest, so far. They are the ones who used another person to solve puzzles, something prohibited by the rules (unlike using Excel, Google, allmusic.com, icanhazcheezburger.com, and lists of Web comics). These four people are 4sigma's four partners.

Don't let Werewolf get to you with his baseless cheating allegations. Sounds like he's still bitter for not checking that Sudoku puzzle a bit more thoroughly.

No worries. It didn't get to me. Just didn't want to let it go by without comment. :D

:iatp: I'm pretty sure 4Sigma is a composite ID for one of those MIT puzzle-solving teams.
