 		One last issue.
Okay, I'm a hypocrite. I swore I'd quit the game and never watch another minute of ABC, but I've decided to flip flop and finish the damn game out. So, my tirades against ABC aside, one question remains. How will the final clue tie together everything into an Ultimate Solve?

My first impulse is that there will be a phone number, extension, and password involved. Perhaps multiple phone numbers and such. As the method of entry needs to be accessible without the web, this rules out a site. And since Hawaii and Alaska residents are supposedly eligible to win, I'm guessing it won't be a physical location. Plus, the producers have estimated that it will take approximately six hours to get the necessary entries [see ABC.COM for rules], thus ruling out mail. One long shot possibility is that entry will require you to go somewhere like a McDonald's, but I just don't think the logistics of that would be feasible.

So it's a phone number, with an extension and password. The clues probably do not represent one digit each -- then you really wouldn't need the final clue to tie it together [as you could easily try 1-9]. I'm guessing the phone numbers for the IRS and Silas are not the answer. The Watermark number is an interesting one. Currently, it does not actually work -- perhaps it will go live at 9 est on Monday? That's my best guess, but truth be told, I'm in the dark.

Anyone have any ideas?

 		My guess.
The newscaster mentioned something about a deaf/blind person climbing Oracle Mountain. I found that to be the most interesting tidbit.

Wasn't the word Oracle part of one of the titles for the now cancelled episodes?

... and doing so in 18 days. This *hint* reinforces the *clue* being www.toyota18.com

 		Doh!! According to a poster on Y, the whole message was an anagram for www.toyota18.com!

 		newscaster goes on to say...
"world's biggest (inaudible). could they be (inaudible)?. if so, under where?"

does this have any reference to the "underwear" clue given in the list of the last 6 clues?

 		bu "Jim's Domain" I assumed it might have meant domain name. In his e-mail adress, it says he's at irs.us.gov, however, I can't get the whois on it anywhere...maybe the clue is just irs.us.gov...?
