It's been that way since the new questions were added - there's also some who report that some puzzles can't (or couldn't) be solved. I've stayed away.

Has anyone ever played the SearchQueries thing? Great amount of points for what you have to do (150), but I get all the way to the last question and just can't figure it out. It's a logic puzzle. I'm just wondering if anyone has any tips you can share on how to go about solving it.

And if anyone needs any tips on how to get to the end, please pm me, and I'll be happy to share.

BTW, the jump on Flexicon does not happen on Safari either, but it does seem like you get more of the 8 letter ID's. Still, I'll take that over the jumpy browser anyday.

Getting absolutely tons of capchkas lately in Flexicon - I'll be able to handle it as I have less than two weeks left.

As a sidenote for anybody who wants to see his miles post this year: Currently there is an offset of minimum 22 days, which would mean you'll need to get your postings done next week. Before the recent break the offset was one week less and I guess there is a small chance this will be lowered once we reach the empty days, but I certainly wouldn't put my money on that to happen. This does of course ignore the fact that they may not allow multiple redemptions at all.

I can't remember what post it is, but there is one earlier post that has all the answers including the very last one that you can't work out.

Thank you! Thanks to the handy search funtion, I was able to find the thread with not too much effort. And to make life easier for the rest of you, I'll copy and paste the answers here so others won't have to work so hard........

1-25 are as follows:
Sprinkle, eggnog, static, hibachi, shampoo, nightlight, stroganoff, oboe, pumice, lavender, scab, haggis, metronome, mullet, compost, sunset, wasabi, vinyl, noodle, chlorine, matinee, tarragon, hiccup, bayonet, honeysuckle

the 26th SQ is clairvoyant

I don't know who figured it out, but nicely done.

The "Search this Thread" function is pretty useful for that. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showt...es#post9868651

Yeah I found it after I posted. At first, I wasn't quite sure what terms to use in the search, but I toyed around and was able to find it.

I'm not new here, and I do know how to search for stuff. It is just a fairly broad topic. And like I said, I'd read the thread once and still didn't notice the answers the first time through.

It seems that the wait was different for different airlines before. For example, I never had miles post to AA in less than 3.5 weeks, but DL has posted in 2.5 for me. It would be nice if it happened that fast this month, but I'm guessing your figure will probably be correct.

I thought the same it really makes no sense. I'll wait for their answer

i immediately received e-mail, too.

Thank you for your American Airlines AAdvantage® account order. Your Live Search Club miles request has been confirmed and is being processed for compliance with our Terms and Conditions.
is the consensus that i can only redeem one of each award going forward?

i have a short attention span, so i have only played enough to redeem the one award today.

Just a few minutes ago, twice I redeemed 4300 points for 2500 DL miles. YAY! Both went through with no problems.

(Went through Internet Explorer instead of Firefox.)
