The Meme Hunt Recap
We can all breathe a sigh of relief, as all 10 memes that were scattered across the site have been safely returned to the Hall of Memes. Over the last 24 hours, the Know Your Meme community worked tirelessly to collect these classic memes from the last two decades, using nothing but a set of cryptic clues to guide them.
Over the course of the day, a total of 308 Know Your Meme users participated in the hunt. All who found at least one of the missing memes will be given the Meme Catcher badge. The 163 users who found all 10 of the missing memes will be awarded the Meme Gatherer badge.
The first user to find all 10 missing memes was Orange Circle, who managed to solve all the clues within just hours of the announcement. In recognition of this great service, Orange Circle has been awarded the Meme Hunter Champion badge. Our moderator Samekichi Kiseki was in second place and Jellopy came in third.
Pepe the Frog appears to have been the easiest meme to find, with 280 of the participants discovering it in the It Is Wednesday My Dudes entry. Nyan Cat was found the least, with only 184 eagle-eyed users locating its position in Robot Unicorn Attack.
Thank you all for participating in Know Your Meme's very first Meme Hunt! There may be more of these in the future, so stay tuned.

Where exactly on My Bike Got Stolen Recently was the Loss meme? I looked all over it and couldn't find it.
Bman
the blank space between the image gallery and the comments. It was tricky to find because it was in its "lines" format instead of a small image of the comic

Once again, Loss proves to be the bane of the existence of all right-minded memers.

Thanks to all my well-wishers, and to the admin team for putting on a thrilling chase, and to my family, for believing in me when I didn't believe in myself.
Funnily enough, Nyan Cat was the first one I found. I had the most trouble with All Your Base. I really wanted it to be with Surprise John Cena.

Congratulations to the winner, and congratulations to KYM for making me feel like a moron for not realising the obvious answers to some of them; the Rickroll and Nyan Cat were driving me insane trying to figure them out! Ended up finding only 5 of the 10 memes.
Taneera
So, I guess I am one of out 163 people who got the Meme Gatherer badge. Sweet.
Overall, The hunt was pretty fun ngl. It took a bit of clever thinking to find some of the memes.
Also, congrats to Orange Circle for being the first to find all 10 meme. No idea how you did it so quickly, but you got me impressed.
A soup can
I can't believe I looked through "Someone stole my bike recently" page twice and I still didn't find the meme.
Well, that's my loss.
Daretobestupid
Same, I was CERTAIN that was the one, but couldn't find the damn image!
Eris
Honestly dude, it was too well hidden for the untrained eye to find really. It was in the "Related Entries" section in its lines format, hiding it in plain sight.
Photo-Cropper
Congrats to everyone that managed to find all the ten missing memes, especially to Orange Circle for achieving first place!
Another thing is that, considering it was April fools. I tried my best to not get Gnomed but, it looks like it was inevitable. Well played staff, well played.
Jellopy
Thank you for the hunt KYM staff team! I really liked to ponder over these memes. For me Nyan Cat was actually quite easy! Had issues with Facepalm and Distracted Boyfriend though. But I guess living in HARMONY HARMONY ALL NIGHT got me pretty far :)
Punch nazis, trans rights are human rights. Bully lolicons.
Anyway crush puss, browse memes, and rock on!

Average time taken to find an egg was 36 minutes. (However the standard deviation was very high, since some people did their hunt at various times throughout the day, while others scavenged for extra clues and did who knows what else).
