Got 1500 points for posting Mabul Island (?), Sabah, Malaysian Borneo or something else before Sabah that I can't recall now.
I do remember calling it Malaysian Borneo as that was an issue on Day 2 for me. My later posts on days 3 and 4 just used Sabah, Malaysia, but with other specific locations.
I didn't post the week before as I was a Johnny come lately to the guessing until the Sabah week...

I got 1500 points
as did those who I feed answers to. the answers submitted, both on day 2 only were:
Kenai River, Kenai National Wildlife Refuge, AK, USA
Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia
can't be sure which one got points and which one didn't but it seems like more people think the problem is with AK/Alaska

I've submitted a missing points report. (Seems fair; if week 4 has posted, I can't imagine that week 3 would post later, and the reports here on FT indicate that a lot of folks did get points for weeks 3 and 4 today.) Will post again if/when PC responds.
UPDATE: One other thing occurs to me. Remember how the total number of winners dropped substantially in week 3? That seemed inexplicable, given the frenzy of online point-seeking, especially when the right answer was fairly obvious by day 2 or 3 -- unless the explanation is that PC's system (automated, presumably) for grading answers simply disallowed several hundred correct ones. "AK," j'accuse!

12 Oct 2010 THE ANYWHERE CHALLENGE 500 pts.

Don't think I got anything for Aruba. Think the Sept 1500 was Nepal.
Think I didn't get Alaska right away, and might have also used AK instead of "Alaska," as I remember distinctly noting that if the "WA" in their example was OK, then AK should be. So I think that's the 500.

Credits of 1000 and 1500 points posted to my account today. These are for Alaska and Malaysia, but I'm not sure which is for which. I entered "Kenai River, Alaska, USA" on both day 2 and day 3 of the Alaska week, and "Sabah, Malaysia, Borneo," and "Sabah, Malaysia" on days 2 and 3, respectively, so I have no idea what is going on.
Didn't think I was going to be able to enter today because the web site wasn't working this morning on the only computer I had available, but it sort of worked tonight on the same computer (worked long enough to enter and then stopped!).

Got 1500 points Oct 12 and I started playing week four.
Answer I put in for day two was "Pulau Tiga Marine National Park, Sabah, Malaysia". Not sure why I included "Marine" in there, but that is what the screen shot shows for the confirmation after I submitted it.
For days three and four I put in "Sabah, Malaysia, Borneo" and "Sabah, Malaysia".
