WIN A Share of $150,000 EXPEDIA

[ross]

Wouldn't people entering in NZ get the clues first and therefore have a much better chance than somewhere like Perth who get the clues 4 hours later? These types of comps are bloody good if you win but bloody frustrating if you don't. It would also be helpful if everyone knows it's already been won. You've got your head around these, what do you think JRN?

The new first clues of the day are released at 11am EST, so everyone gets them at the same point in time (just a different time on the clock).  I guess once people get to know how they get informed of their proximity (within 10km , within 100m etc) then they get a better idea of how they are doing.  The T&Cs state a method of measurement of closeness so it appears that nearest the pin wins, not the first within 10m ( I think!)

As a means of making people engage with Expedia it is probably highly effective.  Though my 'engagement' will not result in me buying a holiday...

This is one of those competitons where  I think persistence and a comper's mentality (reading the rules, thinking about the clues, aiming to actually win not just take part) will pay off. 

Nope it's the first within 10m - so once you use all your pins it doesn't hurt to tell everyone else what you know.

From the T&Cs

(b)For each Daily Game Cycle, the first eligible entrant to successfully tag within the 10 metre radius of the exact location of the Host will be the prize winner for that Daily Game Cycle.

I couldn't enter this morning because the screen kept flashing and now it says today's comp has ended and the winner will be announced shortly. I thought it was supposed to go thru to the next morning at 10am.
JRN was on the right island for the Fiji question and the location was about 1km from the town he mentioned. So well done JRN - another few goes and you would have hit the spot. I still think it's a bloody frustrating game. I thought it was advertising google because to zoom down so you can mark something within 10 metres is pretty darned good.

New York today

So today is a dance studio in New York... just have to figure out who the choreographer is and you're good to go!

And the Chevy's they walk past is at 259 West 42nd St. New York, NY 10036 - this is in the theatre district

So the corner of 8th and 45th is within 100m - good luck guys.

Broadway Dance Centre gives within 100m HOT

What is it the lady says at 55s when she advises him where to go?

And that looks like a partial reflection of the studio name at 1:28

I'm tagged out, 3 within 100m

What is it the lady says at 55s when she advises him where to go?

I think she says Midtown - which is really just a district isn't it?

I see another Kiwi won the prize. I'm wondering if they are letting Kiwis win because they only have to pay out 10,000 New Zealand dollars

Yep its Broadway Dance Center in the reflection - wish I'd seen that earlier
