Greg Barnes was supposed to be home sick this week. Instead, he was deciphering clues, searching online about obscure Japanese history, and prowling Harbor Island, hoping to find a hidden medallion — the prize of this year's citywide treasure hunt, Emerald City Search.
On Wednesday morning, the 42-year-old found the blue-and-white ceramic medallion wrapped in plastic under a wooden bench in Seacrest Park in West Seattle. He won $2,500 in cash and prizes.
The daily clues in the treasure hunt that began Oct. 17 were inspired by the Seattle Art Museum's latest exhibit, "Japan Envisions the West," but that didn't help Barnes out much. ...
Congratulations Greg!!! That is pretty dang cool!

Don't forget how I use the roads without paying taxes, and break every traffic law known to man.

too bad about not getting any love from the photographer. Way to hold it down for nerdy CS guys everywhere.
