Just a thought ... are any of the teams approaching the game as if it were a computer game, a la Myst, etc.? You know, "click on" everything (i.e., pick up verything), take whatever you can pick up in case you'll need it at some point in future play, etc.

Just curious.

As a computer game? Ofcourse not. Many of the clues really are written to be solved with brain power, not random searches as can be shown by the vastly diffirent times between the Harlons and the other teams.

As for Strategery: Some teams do seem to have some.

Fogals is simple, get to be number #1 at all costs. This is a poor one as this game does not benefit first place finishes like TAR does.

Harlons seems to be look at every damn thing as if it is a clue. Again a very bad appoach as it wastes time.

Grads seemed to be just push ahead and don't stop. The idea that teams are slower will be behind them and thus give them more time to solve the puzzles.

Young Genius seem to be too full of themselves to setup a basic strategery, the idea just think dumber does not seem to be a good basis for winning the game.

Team USA does not seem to have one right now.

Ex-CIA, Air Force, and the Browns all seem to be based on teamwork. All expect the other members of the team to work together to solve the clues.

Who am I missing beside the Y.P.?

Southie boys from Boston is who you are missing http://www.nbc.com/Treasure_Hunters/teams/southies.shtml
