Here's Lookin At You! Street View Scavenger Hunt

In celebration of Google Street View's 1-year anniversary and the 37 new cities they've just released Street View images of, we will be starting a new scavenger hunt (Street View focused) on Wed Jun 18 at noon EST. The scavenger hunt will last two weeks and there will be $100 in cash prizes (Amazon.com gift certificates) for the winners. The prize breakdown is as follows:
  • 1st: $50
  • 2nd: $30
  • 3rd: $20
If there is a tie for first place, the prize money will be distributed as such:
  • 1st person to get the high score: $50
  • All others who get the high score: Split the other $50 evenly
