 		The Giant's Drink Seal
Ok, I just saw that this came out 2 hours ago (6:14 pm) and at 8:13 pm there were 104 people found it/solved it.

I just would like to know how one goes about locating this seal? Seriously, I went all over the site searching source and pages whatever. I just would like to learn how one is able to seek the location of the seal out in order to solve it.

Really, I am wanting to learn how to work puzzles and online games such as these as well as the deep ARGs and would love to learn how / where / techniques one uses to be able to find these things and solve them quick.

I'm really not interested in solving it quickly - just in how one finds it so they can.

Thanks,
emato

(understudy)

I know the reference, but I'm still not finding it. Usually I find these things pretty quickly, but this one is stumping me. I'm not looking for any hints on how to solve it, but just finding it.

 		I don't know if there is a link to the seal. Finding the seal though, is most of the way towards the solution.

I know the work of fiction -- there is also a song/lyrics by a group (doubt that is relevant).

For the fiction I can think of several things that could be used, but can't find the connection on the site that would correlate.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Esp Chap 6 -- there are several things which I could see would be good by again, can't find a page to relate it to, to find the seal.

 		So that means...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
If there isn't a link, you have to either type the URL directly, use a search box somewhere on the site, or interact with one of the other theorems or seals in such a way to expose a new seal page. Hmmmmmm

There is. And:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Even if you aren't familiar with the "giant's drink" reference, you'll probably be able to tell that the link is for the seal. You'll need to figure out the reference to earn the seal, though.

Now I'm curious as to where the link is.

 		I found the link and I have no idea how you could guess the URL without it

I'm the opposite. I couldn't find the link to save my life! But the hint that there was no link was all it took for me to find (and solve) the seal pretty quickly.

Now I too am curious to know where this mystery link is!

But since I already earned the seal, my motivation to continue hunting is pretty low. Anyone willing to PM me the location? I'm just curious.

(you can check for yourself that I already have the seal as I use the same username on this forum as I do on TMT).

 		I'm in the camp that found the URL (and solved the puzzle), but could not find a link to it on the site. I am also curious about the link location if it exists, if anyone would care to post a hint about it or PM me.

At any rate, here's a hint about the URL. It's the best I can do without giving everything away:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
As noted above, the Giant's Drink is a reference to a work of fiction (easily found by Googling). The URL is another reference from that work.


If you want the above in an even more spoiler-y format:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The word/phrase in the URL is pretty directly related to the Giant's Drink idea in that work. And you can find it somewhat easily from web searches even if you've never read the book.
