Just read the day's posts
Here's what I have to bounce back for anyone who wants

Pierre, farewell to you and thanks for the extensive work. I hope you had fun in the country and thank you for the openness of your gift. Going to analyze it carefully tomorrow, but it sounded logical and definitely made use of more of the video than I was at first satisfied.

UDBmas, I hope you join us back in the forum. I am all for free speech and brainstorming, so bring back everyone even SpyGuy. I've always felt that this game is a strategy of who keeps the best notes, not who solves clues the best. And I want your voice in the book/documentary.

Cap'n, Lighting puppies on fire, by far made me laugh the hardest of all of the posts. It inspired me to commission a cartoonist to draw for segways in the documentary. Yes it will be in the likeness of you.

I am on my second view of all of these notes, while also keeping up with the created notes, so please forgive me if I ask someone to repeat a connection for me, but here are my questions/points.

In all of the theories that suggest the cards are speaking of subway lines, what does the 8 stand for? It doesn't seem to really fit without a leap, that I'm not yet comfortable with.

Besides Port Morris and Van Cortland Park having "Port" and "Courtland(t)" in their names, is there anything else attracting anyone there. I haven't found, but am going to do another look-thru.

I am amused by the Brighton-Britain possibility, but spectacles. Smile

Cap'n, you mentioned a while back that, I believe, SpyGuy gave us a huge leak/hint with the Gorilla in the Cabin line. Do you remember what you were referencing?

Going to attack some tasks tomorrow, and hopefully it will not rain and I can get pictures on Thursday (my next free day).

EDIT- Sorry I can't be more helpful tonight, it took me nearly and hour and a half to get through everything talked about. Need sleep to process.

Final Solution
Its a Mad, Mad, Mad World

I concur with Episode 1 and 2 posted by you guys on this forum.
My solution to Episode 3,5,6 was posted on pg 202. (however i dont think they get of the yellow subway at the end of 6 anymore. End in Canal St.)
Here is my solution to Episode 4,7,8.
Happy hunting.

EPIDODE 4:
CLUE: TITLE
Being named Black Tom means this comes after the actually video. With the Reverse clues we must reverse IV to VI in the title screen. So this Comes before the 7th episode, as is a pure episode unto itself.

CLUE:Reversed Audio/Flipped Video.
Black Toms audio reversed tells you "you must avoid the way you have known" so we need to use a different subway NNW.

CLUE:Furlongs
For Long Island RR

CLUE:Numbers
41 42 28 f 43
14 28 34 f 42
If we flip the order around, last first etc, and reverse the numbers we get..well something thats takes you up the BLUE line, 14,34(LIRR),42,...82?

EPISODE 7:
CLUE:Seen a night before.
In episode 2 it became night at COLUMBUS CIRCLE.

CLUE:Moon colour of blood that night.
We were on a RED 1,2,3 line last time.

CLUE:Moon is now blue.
We are on the BLUE line at Columbus circle this time.

CLUE:Over a sea as dark as wine.
We have crossed the red line.

CLUE:Jack
Jack is the RED line, we were originally on.

CLUE:Swallowed by the gates of hell.
Does the red line head into Hells Kitchen?

CLUE:Shooting ghosts.
BLUE line passes the filming site of ghostbusters finale building.

CLUE:Can see Jack again. When they cut him. Twice.
Between 103/110 st the RED line passes under the BLUE. Second CUT.

CLUE:Do you hear a wail?
Wail = WHALE. We are at the Natural History Museum. Giant whale is inside.

CLUE:2,3 Knocks from a ghost.
Have we just crossed JACK the 2,3 RED Line?

EPISODE 8:
CLUE:Crothers.
Captain wants to speak to Crothers, who is only recently dead. He is MODERN HISTORY. We are at the Metropolitan History Museum.

CLUE:250 Feet. Home sweet home.
Presumeable we are heading back to the start to make a closed loop.

CLUE:Tutty is buried in the chest.
We can HEAR a bird when we stand on the digging spot.

CLUE:Tutty is making a Clock face with his peg arm/leg.
3:42?

CLUE:Crothers was right from the very beginning.
Episode 1 told us to outline our path. It makes a severed arm.

CLUE:With us the whole....
The severed arm has a watch. [TIME is a recuring theme]
The watch has a face.[FACE is a recurring theme]
Find the centre of ther watch. Dig.

CLUE:Full of sweets?
Sweets:M'M store?
Boat:??
Birdy:Creepy herald square owl.

Its in Time Square. An art installation has been there for 2 years where you can hear a sound.
http://www.timessquare.com/New_York_City/Times_Square_NYC/Mysterious_Noises_on_46th_Street/

If its a parrot, dig the hell out of time square. Noone will mind. Trust me.

Crothers final chest location clue:
If the NYE ball is the bird in its nest, (crows nest), then that building is the boat you must stay on this triangle section, the bow of the boat. It may also refer the the military badges on the tiny building.

Whats under this GOLD grate? :
