Well, here's my two cents:
1. + - indicates battery, i.e. power source. V indicates voltage, R resistance. Which would make the diagram a short circuit, no?
2. The prodigy of St James sounds like someone important who went to a school called St James (or a mental institute?)
3. It might not be a coincident that PRIME is capitalized.

Hi. Those gishwhes riddles are driving me crazy... Did you see last tweets from MissJean Louis? Bard's 66. What could that be? I googled the author of the painting posted and it appears he has painted William Shakespears portrait, and Shakespear himself might be called the Bard. So I was guessing Bard's 66 is the 66th sonnet of Shakespear? But I can't see any connections. Here's the sonnet:
Tired with all these, for restful death I cry,
As to behold desert a beggar born,
And needy nothing trimm'd in jollity,
And purest faith unhappily forsworn,
And gilded honour shamefully misplaced,
And maiden virtue rudely strumpeted,
And right perfection wrongfully disgraced,
And strength by limping sway disabled
And art made tongue-tied by authority,
And folly, doctor-like, controlling skill,
And simple truth miscalled simplicity,
And captive good attending captain ill:
Tired with all these, from these would I be gone,
Save that, to die, I leave my love alone.
'Miner loot! Novice but meaningful.' What the hell does that mean? Miner loot as in gold from the mines? At first I thought novice means new, like a new meaningful clue, but it seems 'novice' means 'a new person', so who is the new guy? Any ideas?
P.S. I know my English is horrible. Sorry...

Another thing...People say that when you search for the painting you get a bunch of pictures about golden mean or smth like that. Everyone is talking about golden mean. And if you google the golden mean you'll get this: the golden ratio = 1.61803399. Remember the '1.6 hour nap' from Jean Louis?
The definition of golden mean is 'the proportional relation between two divisions of line or two dimension of a plane figure' or 'the middle course between extremes'. In the latest email the phrase 'in moderation' was mentioned two times. The definition is 'right down the middle', when you don't cross over the line into any extreme. It's kind of the same as golden mean. Are we going anywhere with this?

City of Light could be a reference to Paris. The name Marcel sounds French...

Marcel Duchamp is a french artist. He made that fountain/toilet thing Jean Louis posted a picture earlier.
About the roses and violets part: he created a perfume, put a picture of himself dressed as a woman called Rrose Selavy and the perfume was called Eau de violet, but he changed it to Eau de voilette. It was auctioned this year and sold for 11 million dollars, I found somewhere that it is the most expensive bottle of perfume in the whole world. And Jean Louis seems to like really expensive things, like that wine she mentioned, 'Civet treasure' (I believe it's Kopi Luwak, the most expensive coffee in the world (and really tasty )), cash register...
I just don't get the 'resurrection' part. He is buried in Rouen, France, but not in Paris. There is an annual contest in Paris for french artists, Prix Marcel Duchamp. It ends on October 2nd I think. Maybe he is resurrected through his art, but what are we supposed to do...

So there's that. Looks like none of us got the riddle right... and perhaps for the better O__O Anyone thinking of taking a crack at a website? I wonder if it has to be a 'dotcom' or if it could be a tumblr/some other extention.

There was something about sock monkey hats too.

FYI that was a clue for Supernatural *cries* not for the hunt.
Although there's a modified version of it on the site with a compass over it.
Also Misha's peg for his location is in the Atlantic Ocean.
As to where the aquarium is...Julie McNiven was also there if that helps. It was on Misha's twitter.
