[PUZZLE?/SPECTULATION?] BONUS? = Counting Method
Discuss amongst yourselves....

Thought it might be useful to get all this speculation into one cohesive thread.

That's what I was thinking. Maybe the drop will be a lockbox and bonus(or bonub) + 41 will be the combination/password?

Isn't the last B in BONUB what you'd get if you combined 'S' and '?' on one of those displays?

Perhaps it's a new Dark Dollar arrangement.

Maybe there was supposed to be something, but a rebel inside the company hijacked the counter and stopped whatever else was going to happen. Chuck did mention stuff about security being active. Maybe they're rebelling since Blackstar hasn't delivered promised benefits, such as relocation bonuses.

The countdown has been replaced by a gif image, and the name of the image is countdown-r5.gif.
Could that name possibly mean anything?

bonus?

so in the video at 2:49 there is a keypad and on the keypad it sais "bonub" and the caption says "bonus?" if you turn the letters unto numbers (without the ?) for bonub you get "21 51 42 12", which indecently is "!QB?" in hexadecimal notation.

Not sure how it's important yet, but the keypad in the BONUS? shot has a few letters as well.

4 5 6 B
7 8 9 C

I think you're stretching it a little with !QB, but 21514212 might be something.

That's a fairly standard arrangement for some old keypads.

Probably, but I have no clue what.

You may be pleased to note that a rallying cry of "BONUS" is used to activate the power of a family tree (as demonstrated personally by Joey as well as our intrepid crew on today's Central Park Meetup) and "BONUB" activates the shatteringly immense power of the Champion Dynasty Fund trophy (as demonstrated by myself because Mike Russo insisted Joey entrust it to "the girl"). Very Happy
