America's most powerful person

I've been reading and hearing about the most powerful person in America. It seems that he can do just about anything. He's got a bunch of friends too. When they get together it's supposed to be an awesome thing to behold. My curiosity is running overtime because I can't find his picture or any background on him. I don't have his last name. You'd think that with all the freedom of information stuff we have I could find just about all I needed to know. I'm going to keep trying. From what I hear, he runs practically the entire country from behind the scenes. Frustrating as it is, my search for him is turning into quite the riddle for me. As you probably already know, I love a good riddle! I'll let you know how it goes. I'm looking for a possible conspiracy here..............Joe

Game clue

In this area of Greater Grand Rapids and far beyond we are about to get hit with the snow storm of the year, perhaps of the decade. Batten down the hatches and stock up with chicken soup, good books, a copy of the riddle, rules and clues. This just may be the time to figure it out and be this years winner.

Clue #3 for the 30the annual Silver treasure hunt:

"Some do a pretty good job of looking. But, the prize goes to the one who longs for it too. Looking and longing make this game work."

If you are physically looking for the medallion you are one of thousands vying for the prize same as in years past. So, if you meet up with others don't be surprised or discouraged. Remember last year? A lady waited around until others had looked and looked. Finally she walked up, felt in the post with her hand, retrieved the medallion and won. Right where hoards of treasure seekers had been for over a month. Good Luck! Keep the faith! It has not been found as of this writing.............Joe

Free game rule clarification

30th annual Silver Treasure Riddle begins November 2nd. It's free!
The mail is increasing and beginning to overflow my mailbox concerning the upcoming Silver Treasure Riddle game. Most items are a request for the riddle when it comes out and a self addressed stamped envelope which have been the norm over the years to make sure they don't miss out on opening day. Some are requests for copies of past riddles. I'm sorry but time restraints do not allow me to provide them. However, the internet has loads of information including past riddles and their solutions when you put Wyomig Riddler in the subject box. One spot is Mlive.com. Of course, there are always the familiar hopes for some sort of extra hint concerning the riddle. Including a suggestion that if I divulged the location she would split the treasure with me. Really? Why would I do that? I already have the treasure, if I wanted part of it, I'd keep it. I bought and paid cold hard cash for it just so someone could win. No hints! No extra clues! No unfair advantage for anyone! Period! That's in the rules. I will answer no question that results in advantage to anyone.

To be more specific: I can state a clue or the riddle as it is written. I cannot reword it or create another context for clarification. The idea of the treasure hunt in the first place (besides reminding us all of the danger of carbon monoxide poisoning) is to celebrate the wondrous cognitive and imaginative skills of our own special human brain. The winner needs no shortcuts. If a person thought it up; a person can figure it out.
