On the Hunt at the Epic Toy Factory
Sweetie and I love the Epic Toy Factory. It's a most imaginative place, and a great stop on a hunt. It's errr, epic!
There's not just one prize to find there, but four or five. There are magical animals to get you from one place to another...
...and there are riddles to solve. Riddles!

| "Maybe this nice lady can help us!" |

| "What do you mean you want 100 Lindens!? That's extortion, that's what it is!" |

| "Sweetie, you'd best put that building back this instant!" |

Some People are Just Sneaky!
Sweetie runs Second Life-- just barely-- on the world's oldest and most cranky iMac. So how has she finding the prizes so fast in the Steam Hunt?
It would be just like her to cheat, so I watched her carefully. No joy.
Then I caught her in the act.
"Sweetie," I said, "what did you do with the Deviant Kitties building?"
"Nothing," she said.
"Nothing?" I said.
"Nothing."
"Right," I said. "You put it back this instant!"
"It there," she said petulantly
"No it isn't."
"Is."
"Isn't."
"Is. I just derendered it."
So that's how she'd been doing it! By derezzing the building the gears were easy to find.
That Deviant Kitties gear was a real pain. That's why I derendered the building myself.
Not that I would cheat.

Mishmesh
Mesh is live on the grid, and most of the majority of avatars who aren't using Viewer 3 (which is viewer 2 with a a new name because it's mesh-enabled) can't see it.
Phoenix doesn't support mesh and won't ever unless some enterprising soul takes it on as a project. That's because the Phoenix people have been working months and months, developing Firestorm, their mesh viewer.
Except until a few days ago Firestorm didn't support mesh.
Good news, there's now a beta-beta (Firestorm has not yet been officially released) mesh-enabled version. You'll find it here.
In the meantime, you can expect mesh to look like this (must-see photos follow):

Note the missing middle section of the avatar. In a mesh-enabled viewer, that's where the mesh would go.
Some avatars at Help Island Public have taken to wearing signs to show everyone how fabulous they look.
