Moi: 12 minutes!! I thought it would take someone a little longer. Damn triangles! OK. My second egg is a little harder. You’ll be out of breath to get the 311 on this cackleberry; a little bird built its tall nest; at least you’ll get a certificate to say you were there. ---

**LurkMeister’s** egg is, of course, hidden at the Oldenburg Batcolumn sculpture (?) in Chicago. My egg is hidden in the courtyard of the oldest girls’ school in the U.S. ---

I think I may have found a partially melted egg in the hot courtyard at The religious of the Sacred Heart in Acadiana, maybe. (if it’s not an egg, somebody better find a shovel and a small plastic bag) ---

My egg is here - In the land of the orange bridge. But far closer to the other one. Perhaps a valentine had an accident. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by photopat \* > \*\ ***gotpasswords** , is it near the **Banker’s Heart** sculpture at the Bank of America headquarters in San Fran? \*\* Nope. I’m a bit ashamed to say that the Banker’s Heart, properly named [Transcendence](http://www.mistersf.com/props/index.html?propsbofa03.htm) does seem to fit my clue, but it’s definitely not what I had in mind! ---
