E4: How Do You Like Them Ample? (Bank of Utah '26)
Clue 4 of the Bank of Utah Where's the Wallet Cash Quest is out, and it is four lines of pure anagram bait. What's something that's sweet that you always want ample. Solve for M and you'll have something for the old hippocampal. Look for a place that's in the wrong spot, that's pretty and fun and feels like a plot. We ran the whole thing through a new segment called Start, Bench, Cut. Maple started, apple got benched, jingles got cut. Slope started, because M is slope. On hippocampal, Christian went full Greek mythology: the hippocampus is a creature with the head and body of a horse and the tail of a fish, horses get apples as treats, and the thing in the wrong spot is the tail. That is Horsetail Falls in Alpine, which sits in Phelps Canyon, which is the trail from last week's census question. It rated a 6.8. Chad liked the orchard on Dry Creek better. Also: the bonus clue came out as narcissus, which is a genus of daffodil, one week after we spent an episode on Wordsworth and the daffodils. Confirmation bias at its absolute best, and Christian's confidence in Alpine went down anyway. If you're here for real solve work, there's an anagram, a slope, and a 16th century anatomist in here. If you're here for Dolphin To Go, we have that too. In This Episode: Chad wants a spreadsheet tracking everyone who speaks in absolutes about their solve Maple or apple, and whether the line even has to make sense in the sentence Solve for M, where M is slope, John Moyle, or nothing at all Whether they picked ample to rhyme with hippocampal or hippocampal to rhyme with ample The big P on the Alpine mountain, which is on Peterson's land and is therefore in the wrong spot Plot as a cemetery plot, a literary device, a garden bed, or the button on a TI-83 Half-baked ideas, biggest robberies, and the worst lines from past hunt poems Last week's question is answered: the one Alpine trail that shares a name with the 1850 census is Phelps Canyon. One ask. People have been searching the Alpine Cemetery. It's not there, we've looked, and it's a real cemetery with real families buried in it. Please leave it alone. We're hitting the trail this week and doing an Instagram Live from it. With audio this time. #utah #treasure #utahtreasurehunt #bankofutah #wheresthewallet
