That's the Redwood one. After finding "wood", you had to add up the letter values of the word wood, go to the petrified tree slice, and find the event that "most resonated" with that number. They number is 57, and the event that it "most resonated" with had a date of 1573 or something like that.

Thats exactly how I read it...
we got there.. nothing ended in 57
I said... it either sounds like 57, or has a five and a seven in it.

Ah yes. I didn't write that one so the wording hadn't stuck with me so much.

Edit: ignore this post. I stand corrected. "Hollywood" is a compound word, where each component is indeed a word. I've been schooled.

Also, when part of a word happens to be letters that, when alone, would constitute another word ... those "embedded" letters are not a "word." Hence, technically "Wood" was not a word ... it was merely part of "Hollywood."

Again, we knew what the quest was looking for ... but the usually reliable literal quality of important instructions was a wee bit lacking this time out.
