ps: I'm not confident with my answer because I'm not sure with my answer on letter G. :(
Thanks for trying, but that is not it! Feel free to try again.
for how long the challenge is opened, I'll give a try tomorrow
Sounds good. The first person to answer correctly wins the prize. We will leave it open until this weekend and if no one gets it, we will post the answer. Then we'll make a new challenge and roll the $30 into it plus the 25% from these upvotes.
We have a winner! Congrats to @daut44 for winning the first @melek Steemit Scavenger Hunt! @daut44, your reward is in your wallet. :)
Don't forget to keep upvoting so we have enough to do the next Scavenger Hunt!
That was good but over far to quick .
Thanks, glad you liked it! This has been up for 16 hours and just got the winner, so I guess it depends on your definition of quick. :)
Stupid me read it wrong thought it said 5 minutes haha that would have been quick. Oh well well done anyway
No problem and thanks. :)
This is such a neat way to get more involved with steemit and research
Thanks.
This is a very good way to engage users.
Yes, we are hoping to get more people active and engaged in Steemit and we thought $30 was worth doing that! I hope you take us up on the challenge. :)
When we start getting more upvotes and interest we will start giving hints.
Oh I got.this... Ill update this comment :) dangit.. I just erased it all..

Lol maybe not..
You have to make a new reply once you find the answer.
Thank you for your attempts so far! Here is a post we made with hints for those that may need them. :) The reward is still available since no one has solved it yet!

good initiative melek!
Thanks :)
The answer is 60.909
Sorry, that is incorrect. Thanks for trying, don't forget to check out the hint post. You are probably close:

You intended for the answer to be 48, but you made a mistake. the answer to H is 118 not 117 (there are only 20 facts since 1 is a lie)
48 would still not be the answer. You are correct in that we counted the lie. Feel free to list your other answers and we will give another hint.
yup i found my mistake. 94 is my answer now
oops, was off by 46. You intended the answer to be 94, but the correct answer is 106.909
@melek
You are really close with 94, must just have something slightly off. List out your answers for me.

basically (.0001 * 390 * 1000)+55
Check letter I - the one about the poker post - make sure you read the whole description of I. I think it's funny you got that one wrong considering your intro post. :) You are one step away!
are you including 10 as a face card? because 2+9+6+5+2+7+10+8+6 = 55.
That part is right...read letter I again.
that tricksy hidden minus part. 55-4=51 39+51=90
yep i see it now, didnt see minus chips haha. 90!
