Pic 1 (8) Caroline - "A road block trying to hop a fence." (7) Aaron - "This is a roadway blocking thing. What? It's hanging on the fence, how can that be? Are the fences in Europe simply super strong? No, silly! This thing is made of plastic and is filled with water. It's probably hanging on the fence to dry, just like a shirt. It also appears to interlock with other blocking things, so you can create a wall of awesome roadway-blocked-ness." (6) Mom M. - "It looks like the corner of a tennis court, so maybe the red thing is a container for tennis balls, or a huge Lego piece" (5) Timmy - "Giant lego block on fence." (4) Chelsea - "A giant lego that was blown off the playground. Perhaps something from the giant's furniture store??" (3) Nicholas - "It's a toy or something you pass on the way to your dorm." (2) Adam - "This is a bin molded to appear like a Lego piece." (1) Nicki - "More art from your travels, this one maybe from a Lego museum." Pic 2 (6) Aaron - "This is a variation of "The Three Monkeys". The caption to this photo should be: "Hear no evil. Speak no evil. See no evil." (Note the expressions.) Since the first two are not covering their eyes, they must be seeing evil. (Although this is a logical fallacy, I'll stand by this guess.) For bonus-standing: I believe that this was originally from some Japanese folklore kind of thing . . . although I don't know enough to give you the actual Japanese script." (5) Chelsea - "The expressions are: Hear no evil, speak no evil and see no evil. They are probably on a court or official building. (I have usually seen them being portrayed by monkeys...)" (4) Mom M - "Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil, See No Evil. Is this in Germany? Are they looking at something related to a concentration camp?" (4) Nicki - "They are looking at the world's largest bratwurst. See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" (4) Adam - "This is the classic "See no evil" , "Hear no evil" , and "Speak no evil" pose. This is above the entrance to the courthouse." (3) Timmy - "hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil" (2) Nicholas - "It's on a library or haunted building that you pass on the way to your dorm. They are scared and frightened." (1) Caroline - "They're looking at YOU!!!! They're really surprised, disgusted, and frightened to see you....mostly just Katherine - it was probably raining that day and Katherine's hair was a little scary..." Pic 3 (7) Aaron - "Probably a better question would be to whom are the steps leading? The answer to this question is: Santa. The answer to your question, however, is: To Santa's castle. Castletroy . . . get it?!?! (Or at least, I assume that is the pun.) The people in the Bookshop in the Castletroy Shopping Center were particularly helpful, so I think that they should be awarded some points. Lacking scruple? Yes, I am!" (6) Caroline - "They lead to the treasure!!! well they actually probably lead to a children's playground or museum of some sort (based on the size of the footprints)" (5) Mom M. - "Looks like footprints in one of the campus buildings - they lead to a pub?" (4) Nicholas - "Footprints lead to one of your classes or a room in the building." (3) Adam - "These footprints lead to the enrollment office at your university.... if not that then perhaps the bathroom... ha ... just kidding" (2) Nicki - "The footsteps lead to Madame Treassue's wax museum."

I looked up trolley prices in Lincoln, NE. It cost $149/night." (0) Caroline - "5 dollars" (2) Mom M. - "To rent to whole thing or just ride? 2 Euros to ride" (0) Aaron - "It costs 3.00 Euros to rent a trolley at the Castletroy Golf Club" #3 (2) Nicholas - "The House of Learning That Mark Learns From" (0) Timmy - "the school building (duh)" (0) Adam - "I have no idea.... uhhhh....
