Spending an evening working on all three sets of clues for the treasure hunt can be fun as well as financially rewarding. Once you have collected all of that treasure, you can then take it to the coin exchange and cash it in for lots of clams. It's great to have all that extra cash, especially if you are in need of an extreme makeover from Akbar's.

For myself, I found it less confusing by going into the Treasure Hunt book and printing out copies of the instructions and all three sets of clues. Once I was armed with my materials, I then went into my favorite search engine (Google), and started my search for the answers to the clues given.

I typed in the information from the clues that I thought would bring back the most results. I then started searching each individual site that was brought up by Google to see if any answers could be found in these sites. Based on the clues and information I found, I made lots of scribbles about what I thought would be the answers. Once I was confident in my solutions, I sorted the dates of each event from the farthest back to the most recent. Then, I headed for the Warp Wagon to see if my answers were correct.

The whole process took a couple of hours out of my evening, but once I cashed in all of that foreign money into clams, I was elated! For just a couple of hours of my time, I learned all kinds of historical information about countries around the world that I hadn't known about before, and I was able to raise my salary, plus get this huge financial bonus from the actual treasure hunt as well! I saw foreign coins that I had never seen before, and saw how different the value of each country's money is in comparison to our own, while at the Coin Exchange. It was great!

Before going to bed, I still had enough time to visit Akbar's and pay for an extreme makeover. The next morning, I was able to check myself to see how it turned out. Not to mention, I also made more clams in my salary by the morning as well.

If you haven't gone on the Treasure Hunt, I encourage you to give it a try. You won't be sorry! I came out with over 200 extra clams from the treasure I found by doing all three sets of clues at once and then going to the coin exchange to convert the money into clams. It was like winning the lottery!

Happy Treasure Hunting!
