Decoded all of it apart from the 4th-last letter which I figured I couldn't possibly have right. Entered it anyway and discovered it WAS right... so can someone tell me what the hell

RM13

means??

it`s because "which countries flag is solid green" is grammatically incorrect. it should say "which country`s ..."

I used the same site as Casaubon and found the L symbol here

My eyes were glazing over by then.

[flame set] #167 - Circular

smartyman@forums.unfiction.com — Wed, 23 May 2007 00:31:17 +0000

Gaspar look at the way the circles are placed on the card - Nice clue!

Sorry, I know I'm 9 months late to the party, but I'm a slow starter, so what the heck...

The arrangement of the circles, plus the background was what tipped me off to what the pattern might be.

Discussions of the Fibonacci Sequence almost always make reference to the Fibonacci Spiral, and the circles were arranged in a way that made me think they might spiral as the series continued. Also the beach scene made me think of shells, and the Nautilus shell is often cited as an example of a Fibonacci Spiral that can be found in nature.

Now, I just wonder if that's the author himself featured in the picture!

[S2] [Cards set] #163 Trailhead

Grahhhhh...

I've been scouring the archive forum, and either I'm incredibly dense or I just haven't seen the right places... I got #2 and #3, I think, but is there anyone willing to PM me the other two?

EDIT: I take it back, I found #1...
EDIT AGAIN: Aaand, I found #4. I think. Only, the site doesn't like my answers. Do I have to do anything like drop out the articles or something?

I've arranged the letters in every possible Qbert combinations, of each letter in different positions. Still lost.

1. How do you read the text, and how it is arranged?
2. What does this have to do with other ARG trailheads?

Gah, I feel so dumb, can't solve anything past a yellow :(

It's all well and good having the four clues, but they don't make a whole heap of sense. What are the clues pointing at? I know that they are all Trailheads of different ARGs but I can't find any links. Am I being thick?

As Rand0m says, this is probably the best place to start. However:

from looking through the archives, at least one of the Trailhead links appears to be broken...

There are 2 Revolution tracks on The White Album...
I was rather bothered by this for awhile. I ended up working it out with both and one has a rather nonsensical answer, so I defaulted to the other. :?

Rob

Of the two tracks, the one they're looking for...

...actually has the number in question in the lyrics - not just the title.

I still think it's a little unsatisfactory though...

Overall, I thought this was a good idea for a puzzle, but the execution was marred slightly by
(1) a couple of the answers being ambiguous, and
(2) as Rand0m says above, the final answer is a little too easy to guess.

I found my error, working back from the correct answer. There is more than 1 Beatle's song that refers to Sunday drivers - I took my answer fom Day Tripper, which is not the correct one.

I was thrown by this too. It doesn't help that even the lyrics of the correct song don't refer to a specific number of people "Sunday driving", which is supposedly the point of the puzzle. However:

The number they're looking for is in the song title, and elsewhere in the lyrics.
