(10-23-2006) The Hunt Is On! -- U2.com*

[eddieg710]

Um got one question regarding the answer. I've found 3 U's all on different banners, so how does that fit in to "Let's Go To Honolulu"?

Is one of then a fake and I just missed it or something?

What sites??

 

[NYCGrace]

The U appeared on the Sweden and Austria sites. Another U also appeared on mp3.com, but that might be a fake.

 

[gvox]

I think it must be. Have any of the other sites changed their banners? Ie, put *new banners up with new letters? If not, I'd say that it's a fake. The official looking one appears to be the "E" from Beautiful Day

 

[eddieg710]

The U appeared on the Sweden and Austria sites. Another U also appeared on mp3.com, but that might be a fake.

I got an unoffical (????) 'E' from the mp3 page (http://www .com/). However, this is after going to the main page and clicking 'Go Now' (1st story).

'felt the h E aling in her finger tips'

 

[U2girl]

So is that two E's now?

 

[alanah]

No, there's only the E from mp3.com

Thank you for updating the list.

 

[philjw]

The Canada banner is now OFFICIALLY up. Click on the music tab to see it. BTW, it looks just like the one on the still questionable U218 website.

 

[Miringeltje]

http://www.dose.ca/images/features/U2_canada.jpg

http://www.u218.com/_banners/canada.jpg

So there will be different release dates for u218.

Thus far I've seen November 17th, November 20th and November 21st.

 

[alanah]

I can see it up right now!

 

[Roland of Gilead]

L - Beautiful Day
E - Still Haven't Found...
T - Pride
S - With or Without You
G - Vertigo

[Roland of Gilead]

We know the 2 u2.coms at the bottom of the list were never highlighted. They are not part of the game. I'm assuming that they represent the 2 new songs. Nothing more.

 

[Miringeltje]

And no lyric underneath it yet, but look what's up on the entertainment site of MSN Norway:

http://www.msn.no/entertainment/

 

[Roland of Gilead]

Norway was T wasn't it? As in "Let her talk about the things you can't explain."?

 

[shannonkv]

Norway was T wasn't it? As in "Let her talk about the things you can't explain."?

It should be a "T", but the letter hasn't been posted as of yet.

 

[Roland of Gilead]

let her "T"alk about the things you can't explain. I have no doubt that it is the match. the Canada one matched perfectly (size and shape too!) with the hack.

 

[iriden]

Now that I see, you migth be rigth because they are starting their contest today, I guess a banner will appear daily in that web just for Italians, so it doesn´t count for us.

Yep we found out today we just have to collect the letter day by day, and only 8 out of 16 will make up the solution for the same question...so I guess it'll be Honolulu

The international competition is far better

 

[Miringeltje]

I wouldn't say that!

“Due to Italian law, Italy must run its own competition.

You have a seperate competition, which I think is being sponsored by www.deejay.it as in they pay for the winning trip and not mercury records, who is paying for the winning trip in the worldwide lyric hunt, I think.

So percentage wise you have a higher chance of winning.

Unless there isn't one winner in the worldwide competition, but more than one.

http://www.deejay.it/php/u2/index.php



Does it say anywhere in the regulations that you have to be an Italian resident?

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

Okay, so maybe it's not "Lou Reed's House", but it is "Let's Go To Honolulu"... I think you all owe me a cookie!

 

[iriden]

Oh yes I'm not complaining about that as we have our "special" chance to win..I was just considering the fact that it will be really easy compared to the semi-chaos which is surrounding the international one..I mean you really have to hunt the banners, we just have to check that same page everyday, a bit boring


P.S. Actually no one here knows what the heck is this law that we have about competitions

 

[KarlaAnne]

good lord i am a nervous wreck, although i know i have an icecube's chance in hell here. just wanted to say thanks again for all your help, you guys...

when in the world do we actually get to enter?

 

[eddieg710]

Let's go to Honolulu, US ?

or

Let's go to Honolulu, HI ?

 

[Roland of Gilead]

when in the world do we actually get to enter?

This wil be a different competition all together with codes to collect and formulate to unlock the secret email password you need to send your answer.

So, you want a cookie, huh?

Mabey Lou Reed has a house in Honolulu

Hey, I just noticed something. According to the contest information, at U2.com, "U218 Singles is the first single disc collection to span the band's career from Boy (1980) to How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb (2004)." But, as we have all discovered, the clues don't include any songs from Boy, October, Zooropa, or Pop. Is it possible that the tracklisting for the album will be DIFFERENT than the clues?
