Well, now we know the Seventh Sons' true diabolical purpose!!

They don't use 40Hz for brainwashing, they use the Hokey Pokey!

It's already stuck in my head!

Even though I have no idea where to start, this puzzle is refreshing because the amount of information on the page is quite a drop-off from colasterion.

Here is the order in which the words appear on the screen.

1......2.....16
3.............13
4......20...14
17....10...12
19....15....9
18.....5.....8
11.....7.....6

The words are more staggered than this, but this should be easy enough to understand.

1,6,11 and 16 are diaman
3,8,13 and 18 are grammata
4,9,14 and 19 are Archimedes
2,7,12 and 17 are stomachion
5,10,15 and 20 are phormedon

And here's the order in which they leave.

15......14......20
18................3
17.......1.......12
9........11......4
2.........6.......7
8........16......13
5........19......10

5,10,15 and 20 are diaman
3,8,13 and 18 are grammata
2,7,12 and 17 are Archimedes
4,9,14 and 19 are stomachion
1,6,11 and 16 are phormedon

If it's worth mentioning, your right brain is the creative side, and your left brain is the logical and analytical side.

If you add the appearing and leaving order numbers for each word, you only get 4 numbers. I don't know if that's because of order preservation or what, but here's what you get, for what it's worth:

16 16 36
21 21 16
21 21 26
26 21 16
21 21 16
26 26 21
16.....16

I tried to revise my "leaving" grid by, instead of starting to one and counting up as they leave, I started at 20 and counted down. I came up with this:

6.....7.....1
3............18
3....20.....9
12..10.....17
19..15.....14
13...5......8
16...2......11

An observation. There are 8 places that have the same number in the first grid as in this updated second grid, meaning if they were the nth to arrive, they were the nth to last to leave. Those numbers are 3,4,19,20,10,15,5 and 8.

Two of those correspond to grammata.
Two of those correspond to Archimedes.
The remaining four all correspond to phormedon.

Is this what Ed was alluding to when he meant we have to "strip away"? Maybe, maybe not.

A couple of other observations. The ones that are not the same are often mirror images. The 7 and 2 have switched places (on the top and bottom middle), as have the 12 and 17 (on the middle left and right). The 13 and 18 have switched places, as have the 9 and 14. All the numbers 1,6,16 and 11 are in each other's spots.
