Have you read the many clues that are already in this thread yet?


Yes, indeed I have. The only possible difference I could think of (that I might have passed over) would be

something that occurs in your browser's status bar, but Firefox 4 doesn't HAVE a status bar, so I can't tell if the solution to the puzzle involves that in any case. And when I tried looking with Safari, nothing seemed to show up there, either.

Keep looking... it's subtle and will take several pages to solve.

Check some of the other browser UI areas.

That did it— thank you! It turns out that

Part of the reason I was so stuck is that my browser's theme hid the area with the clue.


Thanks again...! And I have a guess for what the 'Traveler' seal requires.

My first under 20! Though it only took me 2 minutes, I only got to check right now so I missed it!

This actually was the first Theorem that I solved as soon as I read it. Meaning that I got all of the hints on sight and immediately began decoding.

The new theorem (5/19) reminded me of Avatar - far too much emphasis on visual presentation over underlying substance. At least I only wasted ten minutes this time, rather than three hours.

 		Theorem * Seals?
Anyone know how/when the Theorem {Champ, Rookie, Veteran, Expert} seals are awarded? I'd guess Theorem Champ might be awarded to the first person to solve a theorem or something, but don't know about the others. I've solved all the theorems, so I would think somewhere along the way I would have gotten at least Theorem Rookie, but I haven't.

How many have you done that weren't archived? I don't think they count for seals.

I'm guessing it's for solving non-practice theorems, since I got 3 and none of the seals and no-one has the Expert seal yet. Veteran has been attained though, so it has to be for 11 or less...
Also, it would be interesting to know how many different-day visits are necessary for Patron/Regular. Frequenter is for 5.


Champ = First to solve any Theorem (Just guessing, here)
Rookie = Solve 5 Theorems
Veteran = Solve 10 Theorems
Expert = I'm guessing 25 Theorems solved

Frequenter = 5 Visits on different days
Patron = 10 " "
Regular = 25 " "

You must be some sort of clever genius.

 		So my email said there'd be another seal as well, but I don't see any new seals. Was this just an error, left over text from the last one, or am I completely missing something?

I just got Rookie today, it's my sixth non-practice theorem.
I've also noticed that some of the other seals seem to require one more day, or theorem, to unlock.
I may email N about it later; though I still haven't heard back from P regarding a discrepancy with the search on The Master List.

Yes, I think that's it, I've only solved the last 3 as non-archived.

I also don't know why my initial search didn't find Rogi's post on the subject, I search now and it finds it. Must have mistyped the search, sorry.

Apparently dense...
For some reason I'm really stuck on this one. I've read all of the tips listed in the forum currently and can't seem to figure it out. I must be making it worlds more complicated than it actually is...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I know about it being Butler library and the 8 philosophers. I tried pulling nth letter from each name but I can't seem to do anything with said letters. Is there another clue in the song that I'm missing?


Any other subtle hints that haven't been listed already are truly appreciated!
