Penguin roaming areas
By comparing the clues given by Larry and the actual penguin sightings, the roaming area of each of the clues can be determined. More than one clue may be associated with the same penguin and the same clue can sometimes be associated with two different penguins.

Penguins are known to change costume during the same day and to change location - such as between Neitiznot and Jatizso. If a penguin disappears from one area and appears in a neighboring area, even with a different costume, then it is suspected that it may be the same penguin/clue/range. If it is indeed the same penguin, then you will get the message, "You've already spotted this penguin spy". (Be careful not to click twice, as that will also generate this message.)

This week's clues given by Larry, the Ardougne Zookeeper.

Shooting Star
Shooting stars fall from the sky in RuneScape every 2 hours or so in only one location for each world. The location may be different in other worlds. If players are able to mine through the star, they might be able to see a Star sprite. The location of the crash sites are random, although the stars always crash near a mine or bank.

Shooting stars can be viewed through a Telescope which gives a regional location and approximate time of its landing. The accuracy of the time window is tied to the telescope you have in the study room built with the Construction skill:
 * level 44 wooden telescope - 24 minute window
 * level 64 teak telescope - 9 minute window
 * level 84 mahogany telescope - 2 minute window

The telescope can isolate the landing to the following 9 regions:
