Apparently a few clocks were wrong, the times on the answer key were different from the actual clock. Something about clocks that were non-operational during beta getting fresh batteries that week. Two answers were "corrected" on everyone's paper so they could complete the final math problem. This fact did not matter to those who did not find all of the clock times - they were given the answer to any blank spaces along with a 20 min. penalty. I think any team that attempted an answer (I believe it was A and J) was given the correction without penalty.

Our answer for the ToT clocks was marked wrong and we disputed it. We were told all other teams had the time correct and we were wrong. But, they radioed over to DCA, double checked it, and we were right. We were credited for that 20 minute wrong answer penalty, but other teams were not penalized for the wrong right answer.

I shouted first, so no problem. :)

Like FEJ says, I didn't test the Invitational, I played it.

Originally all of the clocks in that quest were broken, i.e. the time never changed. However, after the game was written, and as beta testing went on, Disney started fixing clocks/replacing batteries, therefore "breaking" the math. Teams with an answer were then given credit and the appropriate answer because no one's time would be right to complete the quest if the clock was functional. At least that's the way I understand it from the staff orientation meeting.

Now that's the kind of game mess-up that is expected and even sorta cherished. The changed-since-beta element that crops up nearly every time.

Ah, but as this instance proved, it's dangerous to skip an attraction that the game directs you to ride. In this instance, not only was a clue revealed in blacklight on Winnie the Pooh, but it was one of the most fun moments in any MouseAdventure ever (and one for which several staffers suffered temporary blindness in an ultimate MA sacrifice of goof for the greater good).


Come to think of it, it was probably the best moment ever on Winnie the Pooh, period.

I didn't take nearly enough photos, but here are the ones I did take.

Thank you for sharing! Great shots! I love the lights in NOS. :snap:

Bwahaha! So that's the game face. ;)

OMG. That ride didn't suck [that one time] ;)

No that was a different M.A.
There were two different M.A.'s in the past couple years that involved riding Pooh.

All the other MAs involved flinging Pooh ;)
