Nearly 4500 posts in less than 7 months.... is what he should have said.

Try interesting questions which take a little discovery and lateral thought rather than just guessing one town or whatever after another....

This is a Good example of something interesting which you'd never get to without searching.
The answer could have included the drinks cabinet which was found fully stocked in the cinema, and lead on to the group https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_UX
and some of their other expoits such as repairing the clock in the Panthéon whch had lain abandoned for years. The Administrator tried to prosecute the group , but the judge ridiculed him.
