The Map to the Golden Frog's location was carved on the Runestone of Jukkasjarvi by the Ancients. Fortunately, this Runestone has just been discovered. Unfortunately, those oafs at the Frobozz Archaeologicial Company botched the excavation, and it was shattered into 24 pieces, plus some other meaningless fragments. I was only able to recover the top piece, with some of the runes obliterated: -------------------------------------------------------------------- The first player to post the valid translated text of the Runestone of Jukkasjarvi (Translation) shall find the Treasure of Jukkasjarvi.

Runestone of Jukkasjarvi Fragments
Malenkai Wrote (Feb 06, 1997):
[After proposal 1688 was accepted]
I have determined randomly Trinkets called Runestone of Jukkasjarvi
Fragment X where X is listed below to be distributed in accordance
with the bribe in P 1688. As for the pieces that are not distributed,
I will be auctioning, selling, or giving them away over the next week,
as I have time to, or perhaps I'll bury a couple with relatively easy
treasure maps. I will say that the Map of Jara also has the location
of one of the fragments, as long as there are any left when it is
found :).
Whenever one of these trinkets is acquired by a player in accordance
with the rules, I will e-mail that player the text on the stone. {{This
is only a prototype/experiment :)}}

After months of work, and weeks of preparation after I thought I'd read a sufficient number of fragments, only to find that I was unable to determine a type of fish which fit on fragment #11, requiring me to go find more fragments, then finding Niccolo Flychuck abducted by the W-team and unable to help me in making fragments 4 and 16 true, forcing me to depend on ThinMan, and then finding the registrar, gaoler, and president in Gaol, and having to get Niccolo Flychuck (after being returned to Acka by the W-team) to break snowgod out of Gaol so he could ack ThinMan's name change, finally I write this, the mother of all run-on sentences, introducing my translation of the Runestone of Jukkasjarvi: 1. I have submitted a proposal that contains at least 30 words, but contains no verbs. 2. I have made a guess at the Machine that goes *ping* truth, and that guess contains the word 'chartreuse' as part of the truth. 4. I have a number of processing chips which is prime and greater than 10. 5. I was the first to complete task number 1. 7. I have correctly stated the length of the Brass Monkey's chain, it is 5 meter(s). 8. I have verbatim posted a piece of this puzzle in a public message, other than this one. 11. I have stated 3 words, one of which contains 5 consecutive vowels, one which contains 5 consecutive consonants, and one of which contains 6 different vowels in alphabetical order. The words are queueing, strengths, and facetiously. Moreover, I have used one of these words in a proposal, proposal 1742. 13. I have legally chewed the Gumball and then have visited a Tower and then have vexed, annoyed, and harrassed the Brass Monkey, and then have tried to impeach a member of the Senate. 16.

Nice try, but the Treasure of Jukkasjarvi remains safely hidden.

Would that the Politeness Moon would allow me to ridicule the students of Jukkasjarvi, especially after that disasterous Machine episode when /dev/joe was scholar. Ah, sweet revenge :)
Fortunately, unlike the Machine, you get as many guesses as you would like (just try to save bandwidth; one guess permitted for each reply in the CFJ 370 discussion ;-)
Perhaps someone should invest in a JMCL.
