Day 2 - Daily Task - The Answer

The Daily Task for Day 2 is now closed!

It's been a 2nd whirlwind day on the Scavenger Hunt and, once again, whilst many of you answered correctly, some of you are going to need to raise your game if you want to give yourself the greatest chance of scooping the top prize!

The country that was neither represented at the 2012 ROI Summit, nor did it appear in the word-grid, was NORWAY.

As many of you pointed out to us, NORWAY did nearly appear in the grid! See below...




So well done to everyone who answered 'Norway'. You have each earned 3 points!

Remember to check back later for the updated scoreboard and to see if you were the winner of today's Daily Prize - a $50 voucher for Amazon.com!

And we'll see you all again tomorrow for Day 3 on the Scavenger Hunt!

Day 2 - Daily Task - ROIers around the World



Welcome to Day 2 of the game! Today's Daily Task is a celebration of the truly global nature of ROI Community!

Did you know that we have members in over 50 countries, in 6 continents! At the 2012 Summit alone, the 150 participants represented a total of 29 different countries, all of which are hidden in the word-grid below.

So why, you may ask, are there 30 countries listed under the word-grid? Well we have inserted one bogus country into the list. That country was not represented at the Summit, nor does it actually appear in the word-grid.

To complete today's Daily Task, simply identify which of the listed countries does not appear in the word-grid! When you have the answer, send it in an email to scavengerhunt@roicommunity.org.





Today's Daily Prize is a $50 voucher for Amazon.com! It will be awarded at random to one player that successfully completes today's Daily Task.


Good luck everyone!
