Task 5 - Big-Game Hunt

Since you guys made SUCH a mess while we were gone, honestly it was a week guys, you have the weekend to clean up and prepare for our final week in Africa. Next week you will have to determine what creature we're looking for or we're not bringing you back to the Roost.

How it's going to work:
Starting Monday, two hints will be posted for the creature. There will be two additional hints posted each day until Friday. You will have until 11:59 pm HOL time on Friday to make your guesses. Yes, I said guesses. Each team will have more than one guess. The number of guesses you get depends on how many points you have now. (points totals will be posted during the weekend so you know)

First place will get 10 guesses.
Second place will get 8 guesses.
Third place will get 6 guesses.
Fourth place will get 4 guesses.
Fifth place will get 2 guesses.

You may use these guesses any time during the week. However, once you run out of guesses you are out of luck. You will receive 50 points for guessing correctly no matter how many of your guesses you use.

It will be to your advantage, however, to start guessing early because there will be time bonuses.

The first team to figure out the creature gets 20 extra points.
The second team gets 15 extra points.
The third team gets 10 extra points.
The fourth team gets 5 extra points.
The fifth team gets a shiny gold star.

If you have any questions, feel free to post here. Scores WILL be posted before Monday so just be patient with us.
