Day 8 - Daily Task - The Answer


The Daily Task for Day 8 is now closed!

Today's task was described by many of you as the hardest yet, so well done to everyone who persevered and finally found the correct answer.

The answers to the 10 pictograms, starting with the left side and then going on to the right side, are:

Shoshana Cohen (Shoshana is the Hebrew word for Rose)
Danielle Rugoff (Danny-L Rug-Off)
Greta Deerson (Greta Deer-Son)
Dalia Golda (Dali-A Golda)
Jonah Mink
Jackie Fishman
Benny Goldman
Ari Hart (R-E Heart)
Bar Peled (Bar Pe-Led)
Iris Mansour (Iris Man-Saw)

The letters in bold were specified as the letteres needed to make the last name of an 11th person and that person was Melisa Goldfinger! Well done if that is the answer that you submitted. You earned yourself 7 points!

Come back soon to see the updated scoreboard and to find out if you are one of the 3 lucky winners of a Nu Campaign T-shirt!

Day 8 - Daily Task - Pictogram Puzzles

Welcome to Day 8 of the ROI Community Online Scavenger Hunt!

Today's Daily Task will help you to get to know some of our ROI Community members!

In June of this year, ROI held its annual Summit in Jerusalem, where 150 young innovators came together to sharpen their skills, discuss their ideas and develop new collaborations.

A list of the Summit participants can be found here. You will need to use this list to complete today's Daily Task.

Below are 10 pictograms, each of which represents the name of one of the participants on the list. Once you identify the 10 Summit participants from the pictograms, take the specified letter from each answer and rearrange them to form the last name of an 11th Summit participant. Send that name to scavengerhunt@roicommunity.org.

It's a real toughie today, so all correct answers to the Daily Task will earn 7 Scavenger Hunt Points! Don't forget, to be eligible to earn points, you must first register here.

Here goes...

For Today's Daily Prize, 3 lucky people will be selected at random from the correct entries, to win a free T-Shirt from NU Campaign.

NU Campaign is the initiative of ROI member David Kramer. It aims to raise awareness for important causes through the sale of unique designer T-Shirts. Check them out at http://www.nucampaign.org.

Good luck everyone!

Like many ROIers, Matthue Roth is a man with many strings to his bow. An accomplished poet and author, he also a co-creator and producer of G-dcast.com and his first screen play '1/20' was made into a feature film. He blogs at matthue.com.
