No clue on this riddle does this relate.

I agree with the "Is that the whole email" thing. I'm not saying you're withholding information, far from it! But I am curious as to what else he might be saying since you said you've had other correspondence with DNC. If it's like BTS stuff going on, then don't say anything,b ut if you can then share it, just to have a second or third pair of eyes to go over the clues. Or an I misunderstanding? Wouldn't be the first time. Embarassed
Researching the Three Musketeers and Dekker's book. Edit if I find anything and all that jazz.

Found alot of stuff on Pythagorean Triplets/Theorem, but a lot of it goes over my head. Have a good feeling about this, asked a math major if they had any ideas and they said it seems a LOT like a Triplet. She suggested maybe take some of the significant numbers and see if they form a Pythagorean Triplet/Triple. Gonna try some more stuff, like the theory names on wikipedia tomorrow, but I've been at it for an hour [didn't find anything on Dekker though]and I'm tired. It seems like a lead though, it fits up creepily well with the "two the same one is odd" and DNC seems to really like his numbers.

Well, returns with the puzzle ... in one of his recent tweets DNC responds to jakers1976 "step waaay Baaack. ø" (note the elongation of words) and is illustrated with a picture of a railroad with the symbol "ø"" at the end of the rails. is this a clue? The first contact with DNC was the note received by MDT (as far as we have seen ø DNC), with the url of your first video on youtube codified, written on paper with a list of places, numbered and grouped in different ways with line spacing. This detail was never mentioned and given that track was abandoned as it did not make sense. The first three entries in the list are grouped together, separated from the fourth. Correspond to the numbers 14, 15 and 16. The 15 is "Two", the only reference in the list that appears not to be related to a geographic location. The other two. "14. The North Sea" and "16.Paris" (A triplet, "two" are the same ...) I do not know, I've tried different combinations of these elements and have not accomplished anything good. Something funny "The North Sea 2 Paris", it seems that is planned to create a canal linking Paris to North Sea, but neither has helped me nothing in doiop.

I was thinking maybe the triplet thing could have something to do with homonyms, homophones, homographs, or heteronyms. I also sent an idea to MDT about the basketball scores taped inside the book. I suggested they may be a book cipher; page - line - word or page - word - letter.

That's a sound theory. The numbers work too, they decrease from left to right. There are potentially 33 lines on a page, which is the highest number in the middle score column.
I can't find a copy of the book anywhere or I would check myself.

It seems the book cipher idea was correct. MDT posted a new video showing the results.
