I apologize for the lack of photos, but my camera is getting fixed :/. I was sitting in my room on a boring, rainy, Friday night, when it seemed that the Cat in the Hat arrived. For now, lets call her Y. My brother, although claiming to be independent, comes to my house every week or so to do laundry and steal milk. Occasionally, he'd bring his friends/girlfriends. This time, he brought Y. They claimed they weren't in a Relationship, but in a relationship*.
*note the lower-case and capitol "R"s.
They stayed for a long time, arriving at 7 or 8, and departing some 14 hours later. At some point, SF0 was brought up. My brother (Lets call him G) and Y seemed to talk in code. I had no idea what in hell "SF0" was. They said it was a game, and I got interested. Me, being the young person I am, jumped up and down shouting, "Tell me! I wanna know!!! Gajhldjhlkajhlskjdhflkjghlkjh!!!!!!!" until I finally decided to look it up online. I found this. Y, being the kind soul she is, explained to me what it was and how to do it. That's when I did Merci. It was addressed to Y, and she "took it home to treasure". After maybe 2 weeks, I was hooked. I decided to include the low numbers of Portland Oregon users in my stunts. I contacted all 17 players of a Scavenger Hunt I was hosting in a nearby park. 3 said yes. Good enough for me, I thought. I continuously updated for two weeks, until the day before the Hunt, when I released the clues:

Clue Number 1) Beneath the object of complete obscurity, Here you'll find it, in complete security. (Under that rock.)
Clue Number 2) Above the ground, below the sky, Get a leaf, oh me, oh my. (Hint: It has to be a leaf pretty high up.)
Clue Number 3) Below the corkscrew, below the slick, Pick up the wood below my... feet.
Clue Number 4) Always greener the other way, it grows in fields by the Sun's ray.
Clue Number 5) Spiny, piny, poky, sharp. Grows a tree slowly as a carp.
Clue Number 6) Pretend your a squirrel, this object is rare. A nut of some sort, be careful out
there! (You might not be able to find these...)
Clue Number 7) Run in a circle! RUN RUN REAL FAST! And now, I present to you, my Abdominal region. (Belleh)
Clue Number 8) Now go to the front of the big school right there. Turn right and walk, whilst shaking your hair.
Clue Number 9) Here is a wall, tall, gray, and dull. Look 'round at the hedges, the box there is full.
Clue Number 10) And now, theres a tree, where the treasure is hidden. Go there and you'll find them. Good Riddan(ce)!

The next morning, I went to the convenience store to buy the prizes. I found a good sized box to put them in, went to the park, and hid them under a bit of dirt and shrubs. They had the additional cover of a large hedge. All was well, and I left for a barbeque. Being set out at 11 and retrieved at 6, I thought it would give enough time. Sadly, as I opened the lid to the box, all the prizes were accounted for. As sulkily as I could, I walked home with the box. I dropped it on the table and went up to my room. The next day, I sent a message to the team:

"Ok... so I put out the candy bars at 10:30am. Ahead of schedule already. Then, here it is at 6:15pm and all five of the candy bars I put out are still there. Where my clues too hard? Or did you guys just quit on me? Should I reschedule? Because no one received said candy bars, the task was not complete. You'd think 7 and a half ours of time would be enough... Please respond guys..."

All did, saying they couldn't make it. I then said:

"Ok... so I contacted 17 people. 4 responded, 1 saying they probably couldn't make it, 3 saying they could. Good enough for me, I thought. I continuously updated them on when, what, and where it would be, I gave you the clues, and not a single person showed up. Coincidence? Honestly, I don't know what to think. Anyway, I quit."

Was this really all? I thought. Y is going to be furious. And now, today, I notice a message she sent me. It explained that this wasn't something to quit over; people have jobs and/or kids that they have to handle. They might not be able to make it even if they said they would. From her, I have learned one and a half million lessons, but one really important one: Continue, try again, and only quit when the job is done. Y, this should be proof enough that I don't quit.

Thank you.
