They tell you exactly where to go within 15 feet or so. BUT, then you have trudge out into the woods and walk in circles in poison ivy for twenty minutes before you locate the skull (usually under poison ivy). Since, for most people with anything even approach a normal number of chromosomes, this is too insane a task, thereby they weed out those without the full lading of MVP-ness. That's how I heard it anyway. No mention of points. I’ve heard finding the skulls is like geocaching. They tell you exactly where to go within 15 feet or so.

If the five skulls are the only way, did all of the thousands of MVPs locate them already? If so, what do they do? Find the skull, take a picture with the skull, then put it back for the next candidate to find? If the skulls are magic, could I find one and wish for the other four to appear so that would cut down on my travel expenses?

Tsk Tsk. Everyone knows you must locate the 5 magic glass skulls hidden around the globe. That is the only way. Campaigning for MVP are you? Tsk Tsk.
