Ravenous Scavengeroogles! Every one of you. We got a lot of differing opinions on how hard this clue really was.
On that note, I’ve really come to realize that the so-called “Difficulty” rating is really nothing more than a subjective guess on my part. It goes like this: people who are playing for the first time and “get lucky” or happen to live in the area will think the clue is too easy. On the other hand, veteran Scavengeroogles who are actually really good at this may get unlucky and start looking in exactly the wrong place, and then become frustrated that I gave the clue such an “easy” Difficulty. Ugh.
As such I’m going to drop the “Difficulty” rating as it don’t do us any favors! But I’ll certainly state in the clue whether I THINK it’s hard or not. =)
Anyhow, the word clue was too easy I agree… it don’t take a genius to google that. Greg J said:
You had me going, but trusty ole’ regular Google search got me straightened out.
Thanks! Love the site!
But lots of people already knew the clue had to do with Weezer. I still love that Blue album and play it every so often. From Ian T:
Woo-ee-oo, I look just like Buddy Holly.
Oh-Oh, and you’re Mary Tyler Moore.
Yeah! Fonz! “I don’t care what they say about us anyway. I dont care about that!” Eric W chimes in:
I knew that the clue featured lyrics from Weezer’s Buddy Holly so, as any good Texan would know, I immediately checked out Lubbock. I noticed in the photo on with the clue that there was an amphitheater so I Googled for Lubbock amphitheaters!
Once again, a lot of you are playing at work (or putting off your finals). From Leroy T:
It took me about 30 minutes. This is fun. I bet I could do it quicker without these stupid interuptions at work. :0)
Simple solution to that really. Clue your boss into the site, and then you can all Scavengeroogle together…
