Pretty incredible, they solved that in 3 hours?

So they are saying within 3 hours one of the quartet organized all 4 of the "crew" got a flashlight & shovel and solved the puzzle leading to the exact location of the burried item?
Simply Amazing
If I can tell you how they cheated do i get the $10,000 "Treasure"?
