Bonus Challenge #1 is still happening ....

It's a  scavenger hunt - solve the riddle to find a place in the school where you'll be able to find the answer to the question. E-mail your answers to uwclassics@gmail.com and I'll send you the next clue (8 in total).

Clue #1:


Spongebob and Poseidon fight over golden apples, but this king has more than enough fruit. 

(Find a place where Spongebob and Poseidon are fighting over golden apples, and then find a king with a lot of fruit and tell me who that king is).

You can do it!
