Welcome Chelsea, Ferenc and Kay!

I don't think I'm going to go through with this one this year. The scavenger hunt ones end up driving me nuts most of the time.

Question - for e.g. the name Ace, do you actually have to find the word ace or could it be as part of a word e.g. place?

DenXXX wrote: "Question - for e.g. the name Ace, do you actually have to find the word ace or could it be as part of a word e.g. place?"

No, it needs to be just Ace.

JoAnne, there are only 99 names on the list. No. 53 is missing.
