The Treasure Hunt

Using your newfound searching and retrieving skills, find at least 10 of the following items. Keep Notepad open, and in each case, record the URL of the site where you found the item or answer. Do not just make a list of answers! Save this file often since you will need to submit it when you are finished.

Feel free to skip around and search for the most interesting items first. If you get stuck, don't spend more than 15 minutes looking for something. Move on to an easier item and go back to the other when you've found at least the minimum 10 items. If you find it difficult to keep this window open, you can print out this page and keep it next to your keyboard.

Extra Credit will be awarded for every extra item you find, so try to get as many as you can!
