Which email is yours? LOL Most folks aren't sending their screennames here with the email.

I love the hints, I think I can guess this one. But no assurances. We shall see.

I have been pleasantly suprised how many of you have gotten this second one... was it too easy? too hard for moderate?

Feedback will help me decide on future locations... even though I will definately throw in some easy's from time to time too.

Once we get into the hardest images more often I suspect we'll start getting a wider array of points. Each guess that's wrong will cost a point... and once the correct guess is given you get 5 points.

So technically... take this moderate one for example. You could take three guesses, get it right the second time, and you'd get 2 points (you'd loose one point for the first wrong guess).

So you can have a wide variety of points per day.. not just -1, 1, 3, or 5. You could technically guess 10 times incorrectly and get -10, LOL

I think it was too easy for moderate. I turned in my guess before looking at google earth to confirm it, and got it right. Too many hints maybe.

I liked this one. I spent about 15 mins. on Google Earth looking for it but I just stumbled upon it really. I'd say this was appropriate for moderate.

i haven't looked at google earth, but i haven't the slighest clue where this may be. maybe a general idea, but definitely don't know anywhere specific.

I almost gave this an easy rating... and then decided on moderate because it's only day 2.

I immagine the difficults will stump all of you but the very dedicated, though I will typically attempt to ID only major places.

Best part is I usually never decide where I'm choosing until the next day. Some days the hints will be more vague... like the elevation of the place, or a single line of longitude or latitude that it's on (expect a zoomed in image for those to make it harder).

Where oh where will tomorrow's place be ;)

This actually took me a while to figure out and for me the clues didn't help at all and I only figured out one of the clues after I found it so I don't think the clues were to much, or atleast not for dumb me.
