There's a new seal called Automaton.
No idea where to start yet. I tried few tricks that didn't work when i was poking around for hacker seal - still don't work. Only 5 people have gotten it so far. Hmm.


Just above the Seals link at the bottom of the page is the ROBOT link. But good luck with this one. I have been trying for hours nothing yet

 		A bit disappointed how easily Automaton was to essentially brute force.

New data in the bottom of the site:

13 WHIMSEY REVERE
NEW YORK, NY 11111

Whimsey Revere, I noticed, is an anagram for "M is everywhere".

Mysterious.

That was a bit too easy... and I'm BAD with these things. I'm number 22, which is awesome.

I wonder why so few people did it...

Brute-forcing yields... nothing at all, to be honest. No idea what I'm looking for though...

I started looking at each rule... and then it took very little time.

I think M jumped the megashark with this one. These theorems are getting more novel over time and less substantial. I wouldn't even take a free t-shirt that said I solved any of these.

 		Re: TMNT
I do not get how anyone could get a fast time this week without cheating. I did it fairly fast because I clued in early but someone finished in a few seconds again. I do not think anyone could have guessed at it this week and I do not see how it would be possible to finish sub 1 minute without cheating

 		I'm sure the Automaton seal would be easy to brute-force... I just don't know what I'm looking for. Anyone have a tiny nudge?

Also, @M.A.S. impossible: I don't see how it would be possible to cheat.

 		It smells fishy. Solved in under one minute is plausible to me. Ten seconds, not so much.

Aaaah, I don't know. Maybe some members are savants?

Maybe someone was taking a class on

this (summer) semester and they were required to memorize all of the

flag positions
. Coincidentally, they used

analog clock diagrams
on their flash cards to function as a visual mnemonic, so that their memory would be stimulated as they checked the clock to see how much time they had left on their exam.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
We don't need to mention that when it's seven thirty the minute hand wouldn't be on the six, do we? That would just be pedantic.
Ugh. I feel like I just slit my throat with Ockham's razor.

Need a little help
I have looked through all 255 rules and I still cannot find a pattern to discern a word or phrase. Any help would be appreciated.
