Alfvaen has found treasure 166.  The map was:

"
Any player who has the Onyx Vase, and some Right-Handed Grapefruit
Juice, and announces publically that they are 'frinking the 
RHG Juice from Malenkai's Vase', or a reasonable paraphrase, shall
find this treasure.

It seems to be fine now...and I note that of all the Billboard Challenge
contestants, only Vynd entered last week.  I'm sure Slakko knows this and
has eir own reasons for not having entered(lack of time, etc.), but for the
newer entrants, I should note that you _can_ enter in consecutive weeks.

I've often had trouble with it, both with the last treasure and this time
around.  This last time I was having problems, it turned out that they had
changed the addresss of the game.  I recommend against bookmarking the
game itself, go through the main billboard page (which might well be why
they were moving it around).

Indeed, I'm not subscribed to acka-finance. I thought Trinkets would be
given in the ackanomic main list, since everyone is subscribed to it, while
the acka-finance is optional. Sorry for having been unfair. And thanks for
your nice Trinket! :-)
