FAQs

No. You could just set your Twitter search to "@TheSuggmeister OR #defconTH"

Well, there's a very limited number of Defcon-ized skateboard decks like these...

...and this...
... and there's at least one deck (like this), autographed by the legend himself Tony Hawk.
3 When's it running?
Friday 30th, Saturday 31st and Sunday 1st... at any time.
4 Not Thursday?
No. Sorry.
5 How will I know if a prize has been found?
I'll tweet, starting with "FOUND".
6 Tony Hawk does a Twitter Hunt, aren't you just copying?
Yes, totally. Come and see my talk and you'll get the history.
7 Why are you using your own account, are you just trying to get followers?
No. It was a schoolboy error in setting up the event in a bit of a rush... you don't have to follow. If the event's a success and if we do it next year, we'll have an extra special account setup.
8 Why?
Come and see my talk and you'll get the history.
9 And there's no catch?
Nope. Enjoy.
