Scifan has asked me to look after the latest challenge so I won't be taking part in the search.

OK. I think Scifan's latest has just fallen. Had to use a couple of different sites to get that one done.

Guys I'm signing off.
I'm sure you will get it soon.
Anyone want to mod while I'm out?

What are the thoughts of the regulars of starting automatic peer review? I didn't have a clue about Julie's buildings, but it was very easy to confirm. Given the spread of timezones it could speed things up considerably without having to find someone else who is going to be awake and active. We can use this thread if there is a need to discuss a challenge in the absence of the poster.

I have no problem with that.All we have to do is perform a search,using the guess provided by the person answering.We should still allow a length of time before going in to confirm answer in this manner,however.How does an hour sound?This would give a challenger who is online and monitoring his/her challenge time to confirm the answer themselves.

Sure. If the poster is online, there's no need, but if they've gone offline I don't see much point in hanging around.

Right,all we have to do is check whether the challenger is online or not before verifying the answer.

Having jumped in with a peer review on a few occasions - I think it's fine. And being off line shouldn't be the only trigger.. If an answer is given and there's no response given by the challenger within (2) hours, the answer should be reviewed so game play can progress.

I think that's the best way to handle it.If Kevin agrees,I'll add it to the copy of the rules in the first post of this thread.

In stressing the importance of every visual clue in a challenge,this is the clue that enabled me to solve the latest challenge.It's a blowup of the bottom left hand corner of one of he photos included in the challenge.I looked for photos taken by this photographer and found the one used in the challenge.

Crafty you are. Careless on my part to miss that.

All roads lead to Rome ... but only one of them was &ldquo;Regina Viarum&rdquo; (the Queen of Roads): the Appian Road. It connected Rome, starting from Porta Capena, with the strategical ports of Taranto and Brindisi, and was built by Appius Claudius Ciecus&rsquo;s command in 312 B.C. It was finished in 192 B.C.

I've driven down that road when I delivered in Rome.

I know. I used to like Italy.

Somehow, the ordinary becomes extra special when written in Italian.
