And when anyone asks me for info, I am supposed to "act dumb", hence The Dumb Announcer! I think you can imagine how my emailbox and smsbox are flooded by queries about this announcement now!Corneliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08049388322332876859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8760307254603261893.post-45228485319054911632010-04-21T10:13:07.995+08:002010-04-21T10:13:07.995+08:00Hoo Hoo!

I asked several other people, i.e. hunters who were actually there during the hunt. I guided them to this blog to see the photo again. They all said that they saw it as M7. Some became doubtful when I raised the possibility of NC7. Some were still adamant on M7; to them there's just no way it is NC7. Interestingly, the reasons why they insisted that it's M7 were basically the same as mine.<br /><br />Another friend "confirmed", after seeing the photo, that it is NC7 because according to him, he has seen the font before in <i>Word</i>. I told him quite truthfully that I did not know that! I tried to look for the font on my pc, but soon abandoned the search after a while.<br /><br />Incidentally, my staff were out inspection, and I requested them to stop by the shop to actually ask the owner for the name of the business once and for all. And if possible, get a business card as well.<br /><br />Well, the matter is now settled. The name of the business is most definitely <b>M7 FASHION</b>. Like I said, I saw it since the first time, and the whole time as M7 FASHION, and it did not even cross my mind that it could be NC7 until that possibility was raised today.<br /><br />However, if some of you hunters actually solved the clue, but rejected this board because your saw it as NC7, I am so sorry for you! I honestly did not plan this kind of trick. The trick in the clue itself is quite enough for the challenge!<br /><br />So obviously someone should shoot the signboard maker for confusing some of us; shoot Claire and KK Chai for causing the adrenaline rush in my body; and shoot that other friend who "confirmed" that it's NC7!... HAHAHA!<br /><br />To put the matter to rest once and for all, I will upload the photo of the business card shortly after this.Corneliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08049388322332876859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8760307254603261893.post-59760451541351452242010-04-20T14:54:30.918+08:002010-04-20T14:54:30.918+08:00Moral of the story - If you want to set up a shop,...Moral of the story - If you want to set up a shop, don't use such fanciful fonts on your signboard which may end up confusing people!Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09701855517580574117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8760307254603261893.post-23683013532009617932010-04-20T14:41:54.928+08:002010-04-20T14:41:54.928+08:00kkchai,

They all said M7, until I brought up the possibility of NC7, whereupon they exclaimed, "Oh ya kan! Possible also oh!"<br /><br />But the mother of 'em all is when I raiseD the possibility of NC7, and after staring at the photo, she said, "Hey! it's also possible that its JVC7!" ...

But now that you have mentioned it, I can see why you saw it as NC7, which is of course also possible.<br /><br />Obviously, this reflects badly on the signboard maker, because it seems that people can get confused on the name of the shop!<br /><br />But anyway, the reason why I saw it (and still see it) as M7 as opposed to NC7 is because if it were N followed by C, I thought that the N would then be too slanting to the right and would then look somewhat awkward. The other reason is that if that is a C in in between N and 7, then it is exceptionally small and somewhat unharmonious, in terms of size, with the rest of the font. Finally, if indeed that is C in the middle, I feel there should be at least a small gap, but clearly separating N and C, not leaning onto the N.<br /><br />This is of course not the ultimate test, since this is supposed to be a "flowery" way of writing the letters. I think I will try to actually go to the shop to ask the shop owner, just out of curiosity sake.Corneliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08049388322332876859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8760307254603261893.post-63539914549901374192010-04-20T13:06:45.349+08:002010-04-20T13:06:45.349+08:00Yes, scute, I have since been informed that there ...Yes, scute, I have since been informed that there was that TREASURE'S board. And also another one, I think the name of an eatery within that sector. <br /><br />But anyway,I still think it's easy to check if there is a meaning to the rest of the letters after the "TR". It was still easy to shortlist the "candidates".Corneliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08049388322332876859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8760307254603261893.post-57058950499057447752010-04-20T12:28:11.954+08:002010-04-20T12:28:11.954+08:00TQ for a good hunt..we enjoyed ourselves. However ...TQ for a good hunt..we enjoyed ourselves. However Q22 bothered us for awhile especially after making so many turns and still couldn't find what we thought was an anagram answer. M7 is not exactly what it seem because the cursive writing of M would be in one stroke while on board in this case was broken into two where we make them out as NC7. It was only after we left the sector that my team mate decided it must be M7 to you in order to fit the clue. Can you claify the sign if it was indeed NC7 and not M7 ? On balance, it is a good question and I think a lot of hunters were caught here.kkchaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07199539992663861826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8760307254603261893.post-65638495668532842292010-04-20T09:52:06.866+08:002010-04-20T09:52:06.866+08:00There was another sign, "Treasure's"...There was another sign, "Treasure's" within the same sector, just before Tribex.scutenoreply@blogger.com
