Cross_, have you tried any of the audio here http://monsterhunterclub.com/multimedia/audio/

maybe there is something in them.

Well, castledweller has posted what must be a hint. What he seems to be doing is connecting each pair of numbers with a path that doesn't intersect other numbers' paths. Sort of like this game. I couldn't solve any of them, though, and based on certain positions, I don't see how certain path crossings could be avoided. Still, even if those paths are found, I don't know how we get a word out of it.

Last night I'd been trying other methods similar to that like drawing squares using each number pair as corners, but nothing worked. The big challenge to me seems to be getting an answer of from 7 - 15 digits when we're given 14 data points to work with. In other words, I think the answer must lie in what's between the number points or can be eliminated by them, as opposed to anything informational about the points themselves (coordinate pairs, for example).

So I can't see how castledweller's method will work (it might) but I think the answer has to be something like that.

well just tried the above with one of the squares, and it's possible, but uses all the squares. Not sure if there's anagrams in there, but it doesn't seem that likely?

EDIT: example added. I can't see any other options to link the numbers without any cross over, but there probably is.

Nice job, AL! Now we just have to figure out how to get a word out of that

I notice that the previously mentioned TV Quiz appears all along the 5 line. Maybe it would be helpful to grid out all the sequences like I did for the list of sea creatures on the Golden Dragon certificate.

I've got to go to a meeting, but I'll try that out later if no one else does.

Again, good work ALISDAIR.

Looks like we were working on the same puzzle
Here are the letters for each path:
1: MDDFSNIRYHB
2: AGIBSLIIMTCMR
3: OYA
4: MSTEEVT
5: ZIUQVTMHNIAEYESASTW
6: BNEORUNFEI
7: CROT

I am not sure if this helps because unlike the puzzle that we got the helping start with there are only four pairs of number in the puzzle that we think might me LOCHNESSMONSTER the lines for that are:

2- MCIUAIRUIVHBOEO
3- YLTPNI
5- SMEONCA
7- NBKOARTBCHTOA

I found paths on the other puzzles as well but i don't think this is right because i can't get anything out of the letters i got from the paths and on top of that unlike the puzzle we got help on the paths don't use all of the letters. I don't think it well help but let me know if you want me to post the other puzzle paths i found i finish them for 2 and 9 and am working on 6.

I'm not getting anywhere with this yet, but I'm thinking along the lines of one of the text strings will fit the blanks beneath minus the number, and we then take the number as a=1 etc to get an anagram (yeah I know totally stretching).

So for example in the square I did the 4 string is 7 long, add H for the 8 to give HMSTEEVT - VM'S TEETH? THEM VETS? ... I did say I wasn't getting anywhere.

Hey just so everyone knows Amie has a new post on EY but it really doesn't give us anything new....

Oh,oh.. does that mean thousands of people will now come to unforums after seeing a yeti on TV?

We only have 6 puzzles, including 1 duplicate - is that correct?

[molecularr]

I know of 5 different puzzles. Was one of the duplicated in the mailings?
