TAR 19 EP 12 "Go Out And Get It Done" (Atlanta, Georgia)
apskip:
I attempted to redo what Ernie/Cindy and Jeremy/Sandy were forced to do regarding an Internet search of "The Dump". I tried the following under the following search topics in www.google.com:
"the Dump"
"The Dump" and Atlanta
Only when I added the word "residence" after Atlanta did the right answer come up on the first page of the search results. If they did not do that, then those 2 teams would have had to get lucky in advice from locals (which is the way Ernie/Cindy got the lead and why Jeremy/Sandy fell into 2nd place).

I think Ernie & Cindy may have called someone who could look it up on the Internet. I'm not sure. If they did, that might be how they got the lead.

Does it matter who actually did the Internet research or what search engine they used? Most other search engines use similar algorithms to what Google does and should have obtained approximately the same results. The key was using the word "residence" in the search string and not who did the search or what search engine they used.
Jobby:
First one that came up (and many others) after "the dump atlanta georgia" was keyed in was -
--- Quote ---The Dump - Atlanta
www.thedump.com/stores_atlanta.html... Marcus Blvd. Atlanta, GA 30324; Telephone: 404.442.1900 ... We dump everything that gets between you and the best bargains in the business. We don't pay ...
--- End quote ---
So apparently, Ernie and Cindy had enough sense to figure out that there's not where they're going.
theschnauzers:
The clue used "former residence;" and I would think a competent internet search would have used both terms.
IIRC, when Cindy went behind the fromt desk to look at the computer screen, it seems as if the answer (Margaret Mitchell House) was on that first screen.
