It is right that all hunts are different from each other. Team mates can be different, too. In this hunt, I had the opportunity of a lifetime to hunt with one of the masters of treasure hunts. He definitely injected some hunting knowledge into my mind. I was especially amazed by the way he cracked the clues for one of the treasures. Master hunters are really master hunters. I RESPECT!!
I have learned 2 important things about treasure hunting in this hunt. First, the words or answers that we are looking for can be either in English or BM. Second, always have a BM <-> English dictionary in hand.
In this update, I would like to share with you some of the questions that uses more than one bahasa.

The Master from Penang cracked this treasure!! I was awed when he was explaining it to us. I could not stopped myself from saying, "Wow!!" (repeatedly). Someday, I hope to be as good as a hunter as all my gurujis ----- combined.

Ee Wen,
Not only is the Penang Master a great hunter, he's also one of the few great CoCs I truly admire. If you take a look at some of his past Hunts' Q&As and Puzzles that he personally designed, you will realise that they were crafted with considerable skills and thoughts.
When the opportunity comes, you must try out his hunt one day, then you will know what I mean. But be prepared for your brains to be thoroughly thrashed!
"But be prepared for your brains to be thoroughly thrashed!"
HAHAHA! How so very true!
Marsha, your wish has been granted by the Master. Check out what is happening up North on 1 Nov.
Marsha, the opportunity has arrived!! (^-^)v
