The Great Rballruss Scavenger Hunt #2
 
The first one easy, to no one's surprise,
But this one involves a little prize.
If you can solve the riddle below,
Then you certainly do, The Villages know! (How's that for a rhyme?)

I reside in the south, and music do hear
The sum of my digits are 23
Not much to go on, but neither am I
What's my full name, oh me, oh my!

Re: The Great Rballruss Scavenger Hunt #2
 
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! MINNIEM

You are correct! The NAME is Ernestine II. Ernestine II is the half-sunk boat at Lake Sumter Landing. Chacam...you were right on it but didn't have the name. How did you come up with the name, MinnieM?

MinnieM...email me to claim your prize.

Russ, I hope I'm not the only one that needs an explanation on this one. On the other hand.........

zcaveman 08-30-2007 11:37 AM

Re: The Great Rballruss Scavenger Hunt #2
 
I agree. In the original rhyming clue it states that "he sum of my digits are 23". Which lead me to a longer name. What does 23 have to do with Ernestine II.

MinnieM 08-30-2007 11:39 AM

Re: The Great Rballruss Scavenger Hunt #2
 
The registration numbers add up to 23

rballruss 08-30-2007 03:55 PM

Re: The Great Rballruss Scavenger Hunt #2
 
And the answer is....... http://www.thevillages.com/phototour/images/lsl/3.jpg

add the digits of the registration number = 23

Way to go, MinnieM!
