After the problems I caused using an orange business view dot for the first of these puzzles, I promise not to use dots (neither orange nor blue) again. Post an image which you think is depicted by this Post-it note: To help you decide whether you have found the right place, here is a sneak peek of what you should see: : Remember to make sure you hide any spoilers. The font used for the note is Yelly by Carolina Mejia.

Creative puzzle, it did have that wow effect on me when I found it.

It was worth setting this puzzle just for your reaction alone, johnluke! Well done to you and to hhgygy. I'm reluctant to give any clues just yet as I want others to have a similar light bulb moment to johnluke and hhgygy. But, with over 100 views and only 2 answers, I guess there is a bit of frustration out there. So, all I'll say (which is not very much) at this stage is that you do not need to be doing a tedious search of Google Earth/Maps. The post-it note has all the information you need. P.S. Thanks for the comments about the orange dots, JL. I still think I'll stay away from them unless they become more accepted in the forum.

Good work, ozlingula. It's time to add a clue: The seven digit telephone number is important.

I guess the previous clue was not really much of a clue, so here's more to go with it: The first three tasks in the list contain words commonly seen in the Fun and Games forum.

Very well done, Walter_V_R. I admire your patience and I know you are not the only one who has spent plenty of time on this one. As I mentioned to another member of the forum in a message, when you finally realise how to solve this, you might experience a Homer Simpson moment. I'm just not sure whether it will be "Woo hoo!" or "D'oh!", though. To the previous two clues, I'll now add another one (all three are here): The seven digit telephone number is important. The first three tasks in the list contain words commonly seen in the Fun and Games forum. How many tasks are there in the list?

Good work, bridgeplayer and Noisette. Final clue added (all four clues are here): The seven digit telephone number is important. The first three tasks in the list contain words commonly seen in the Fun and Games forum. How many tasks are there in the list? The instruction you need to follow, as contained in the post-it note, is: post ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ hotel

Good work, krenek. I'm glad you finally made it. Explanation and solution: Each of the seven digits in the telephone number identifies the word to be used from each of the seven tasks in the list. So, the first digit (5) refers to word 5 in task one; the second digit (also 5) refers to word 5 in task two and so on. The complete instruction becomes: Post street view of dog house hotel The Dog House is located in Abingdon, United Kingdom. (Location: 51.684973,-1.350718) Maps street view linkSorry, but I was deliberately trying to be misleading by phrasing the tasks so that the first three digits would be 555, usually used in US movies.
