2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason

5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

How would you find it at the end? One of the rules is you have to be able to produce it if they don't find it.
Perhaps memorize the location, or keep a piece of paper on your person (or a note on your phone) that tells you where it is?
Why not just hide it elsewhere leaving the piles as red herring?
Exactly. You got it. Screws up any chance of metal detection.
Eh, the crew would undoubtedly gather up all the paperclips they find and one would start verifying the clips one by one while the others search. If you win, the piles would be smaller but you would still have to search through the piles they didn't get to in order to prove your victory.
Exactly. And while they waste their time searching the obvious ones, I'd have it hidden in one of hundreds of much less obvious places. Of course I could identify it. I never said the key clip would be in the thousands of obvious ones.
