We`re half way through the StartupNation Capture the Flag Contest - the 5th daily clue will be posted a little bit later today.

We`ve been deciding each morning where that day`s flag should be hidden. As you know we`re trying to make this both fun and site-education valuable.

I`d like to hear from the community where you think next week`s 5 flags should go. Pick a page and drop in a comment here. If you like you can also suggest what the tip that goes along with the clue ought to be.

If we use your idea, then ... hmm ... let`s see ... I`ll have you appear on an upcoming Community Podcast. You can even pick the song for that show.

Hi Joel,

I don`t have a specific location, but my recommendation is to make it a little more challenging. The clues take you right to the flag - how about clues that really make you think, and even make you take a wrong turn once or twice? That`s my only suggestion; I`m having a lot of fun with this contest - great idea!

I think that`s a great idea - your clue can take them to a page that has another clue, etc.  How `bout ending up on the page about Rich and Jeff and their book?  Looks like an interesting read - I`m going to order.

Have a great day everybody!

I have the perfect location: The Middle of CraigL`s forehead...

I say this, of course, because Craig is such a strong supporter and poster to the site. We all love his input.

Besides, the logo would make one hell of a toupee...

Joel,

You have many, many great articles in the "article" section.

http://www.startupnation.com/pages/articles/articles.asp

Clue could be: Hidden in an article that the title startes with a "C" (choose a letter). I might have to read 10-15 articles before I found it. Might bring some folks to be more aware of the great articles available.
