What organizations give away for free

When I was about 25 years old, there was a radio station, The Q, in the city where I lived that was holding a big contest that included giving away a big prize package. They would hide this big wooden Q every day, which was about a foot by a foot in depth and in height (30 x 30 cm) and about 2 inches (5 cm) thick, and give out clues for where to find it. If you found the Q, you won a prize package that could include a couple of four-wheelers, a trip to Hawaii, TVs, tons of stuff.

I was tracking the clues that they gave out each day, and I thought I knew where it was, so I looked around for hours in this huge park. After about three or four hours, I gave up. It turned out that I was about 25 feet (8 meters) away from it when I gave up. I still regret that today. It's the same thing here with reconnaissance – you've got to look everywhere, despite the massive amounts of information that become available to you.
