Q7 (not bolded): I can make them a restroom, But they can make you drapes.
A7: Letto curtain
Q8 (bolded): From a starlet today and then blind, such may fall if the answer you don't find.
A8: Letto curtain
(The adventure posted below happened during the first leg of theSun hunt 2008, and it is extracted from my hunt log book.)
We went back to Sector 3 and dropped Raj there to look for Q10, "The Lady with the Lamp!!” Sath, Doug and I then went back to Sector 2 for Q6, Q7 and Q8. Here we got Q7 quickly but faced problem with Q6 and Q8 (both bolded). Here was the problem, Q7 was found at middle of the sector. So Q6 and Q8 can be either side of the signboard found for Q7. We spent some time here walking and were still stuck. In Q8, there’s a word “blind” in the clue, I was pretty sure I was looking for a “screen”, but there was nothing there to suggest that, except the word "curtain" in the answer for Q7, “Letto curtain”. Then I examined the question again and found the letters “let to” in between some words in the clues. Then it became clear to me, this was a sneaky question. Treasure hunters were so trained to find one signboard for one question and the CoC never mention the same signboard can be the answer for two different questions. And it can.
I called Sath quickly and met up with Doug. Doug also cracked this independently and he also thought the logical answer for Q8 was the same answer as in Q7. Here was another issue we faced: with answers of Q7 and Q8 being the same signboard at the middle of the sector, Q6 (bolded) could be either way, and that was a long sector. I have to say this again: this Q8 was a sneaky question, it didn't make the bolded Q6 any easier (if you got A7 and A8 first) because it didn't reduce the scope of search. By that time, I had to write down quickly some possible answers for Q6, to be discussed with the team later, and we moved out from that sector. This proved to be a wise decision later.

We solved Q7,Q8 immediately. Then the Q6 was a trouble one. We didn't find it and plan to skip it. Making it worst, once we left the sector one of my team mate asked if we found any L&M signboard as it could be added with an ark become landmark. I scroll through my pictures and didn't see the signboard since i took only some suspect. Eventually that was the answer....sigh. Another thing that we realized was for a big hunt like this the traffic is really bad and we need to manage smartly. Since our first Sun Hunt, we learned a lot.
Venka, yes, traffic was bad at question sectors, and needed to be managed properly. We learned that lesson the hard way from last 2 theSun hunts. Your team is a strong team & some masters feel that too. you can only get better from here.
