SourceCon Challenge#2 - So you’re Stumped !! Great Sourcers that you are !!!

48 hours into Challenge #2 and the feedback is that it is just too hard. The feedback we received from Challenge#1 was “too easy”. This is not the story of the “Goldielocks and the 3 Sourcing Gurus” and you are hoping to find Challenge#3 too be 'just right'.

We have been intentionally elevating the complexity level of each challenge to ensure that we get only THE BEST OF THE BEST for the final showdown in Atlanta. I can give you a few hints to get you started:

There are three key steps to solving this puzzle.
Each step can be solved via the Internet OR if you want to short cut it, then you can use the phone clues. This will only help you skip clue#1.
The challenge has been designed methodically in that, while doing your internet research, you have to find clue#1 to lead to clue#2 and finally clue#3.
Following each clue will lead you to the next. This has been intentionally crafted so that they are Linked but not directly associated with each other.
The first clue is right under your nose.
Remember, grammar, spelling and typo's might have been intentional!!

Feel free to blog and share ideas (as I know most of you have been doing already) – but there will be only one winner of Challenge #2 – representing the World’s Best Sourcers at the GrandMaster Challenge!!!!
