To me, MORE I suggests that there is another page labeled with an "I" and we need to maybe superimpose that pic with this one.

Although I'm don't remember seeing another "I" anywhere.

There's a capital I in the picture we had to hold and smile with, but I'm thinking MORE I has more to it that we'll find out if people send in pictures.

If the dots do form letters, I'm thinking the second grouping looks like an "e" or a "t". I agree with previous speculation that the first grouping is an "s" or "g". I can't tell if the third grouping includes three or four dots; that dot on the right could be a part of the fourth grouping. If it's not, I would think the fourth grouping is a "b" (although I did think it was another e or t for a long time). I don't know how you make the final grouping into a letter unless it's an "l" or a \. This reminds me of when I'm trying to remember a tune, so I hum the tune to someone else who has no idea I'm even producing music much less a specific tune.

I have looked at this thing, I've stared, manipulated, inverted it...I can't figure this out for anything. Boy do I feel like a trout.

I'm confused about the "new PDF" with the dots. I see the one from a few pages back from Tiffany (i think), w/ the dots and the I at the bottom (which is an H if you turn it one turn clockwise). but is there another pdf I missed?

The last page of the .pdf flipped. (so others don't have to).

ETA: I wonder if they know they have directory browsing allowed. Found another file along with several BTS images.

I'm not seeing anything on the second link... just a white page.. Is it my computer?? I'm thinking the morei has more to do with this as well.. Is anyone else able to upload another pic to see if another letter pops up?

Ahh, the PM's must've disallowed open browsing of their directories. Maybe I shouldn't have said anything publicly. But that would've been cheating! Shucks.

I knew it! We've been struggling with this puzzle so much that they're giving us an even bigger hint. Check it:

The PM's must be slapping their faces into desks with us, lol! Go Justin, though. The H gives hint of HOW to connect these dots. I'll see what I can do, and y'all do the same!

EDIT: Hmm, still trying to figure this out. if that lower case h is any indicator, the letters might only be semi formed by the dots...

This is a different picture than what I was using from tiffany (a couple pages back). there aren't as many dots on this one Ninja.

I've been trying to connect them as well though

Edit: so I just realized I had it upside down from what the newest blog post had... my bad

I plugged the letters from the smiling photos into a word de-scrambler to no avail. If this dot thing turns out to be way easier than I'm making it, I'll just lose it. Shocked

Connor's toast, if we have to solve these dots. Even assuming McFly's two letters are right, and we have a five letter word and a 2 letter word, there are a hell of a lot of combinations, especially when we can't assume dots close to each other are connected, or that key points in in individual letters will correspond with dots. I think McFly is going to have to save our bacon on this so we can move on.

I tried to see whether there were any towns in Mississippi starting with T, and got excited when I saw "Terry NW"... but no luck putting into the Aguatero URL. There aren't any towns with 5 letters starting with TH. So I guess the solve isn't a town name.

Come on McFly, help us out here...


Has anyone tried this? Let's assume that the Mississippi clue refers to the river, not the state. And assume that the two-letter part of the solve is a state. How many states does the river cross? And how many of those two-letter state abbreviations could be crammed into the dots? And if one state seems a better fit, then how many towns in that state have five letters starting with a TH?

10 states it flows thru:
Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas Louisiana, Wisconsin, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Mississippi

So which of these will fit into the last section of the dots?
MN IA MO AR LA WI IL KY TN MS
