He said all clues would be in the physical world. Seeing as how I am not in Virginia, I decided to look at the footage of his from real life. One thing that caught my eye was this abandoned school or church. Since he does a pan view shot, I combined some frames to give you a better look. Forgive the brotoshop'd look.

My thoughts so far, regarding the puzzle on Commencement.pdf. I did the math to decipher the variables:

A = 5
B = 6
X = 7
Y = 8
Z = 9

The three sentences - I, II, and III - are probably anagrams. We have to decipher the anagrams to make words fitting the appropriate variables - for example, the first line will be broken up into a Name, Verb, and Name that are each X (seven) letters, since line I is X - X - X.

My guess is that - unlike I, II, and III - the decoded anagrams will be reasonably coherent.

Or absolute bullshit that you have to think about, and think about with the others to find the meaning of.
You handle that, I'll go get more images.

Wasn't listed under the rules. It mentioned somewhere that clues would be in the physical realm.

Aric is actually right too
It is written:
"all clues in physical reality also in va"

Joseph Solves Peter has a very similar structure to Micheal Filters Gabriel.  Seems like a good start.  Edit: Should pay more attention.

So we have
1: Michael Filters Gabriel (7,7,7) x = 7
2: Jonathan Processes David (8,9,5) y=8 x=9 a=5
3: Joseph Solves Peter (6,6,5) b= 6

Hahaha. haha. haha.

Hey guys.  Guess what.

Filter the sentences through the matrix.
A little algebra will help you Process them.
Solve the puzzle, take out the spaces, then get hyper with your markup.

Michael Filters Gabriel.
Jonathan Processes David.
Joseph Solves Peter.

By the way, "get hyper with your markup" - I'm not exactly sure what that means, but I know this:

HTTP = Hyper Text Transfer Protocol
HTML = Hyper Text Markup Language

Converting the .pdf to HTML didn't do anything for me though. Let me try with something that isn't Adobe's crappy converter. In the meantime... what do Michael, Gabriel, Jonathan, David, Joseph, and Peter mean?

All biblical characters.

Jonathan and David  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_(Samuel)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_and_Jonathan
Joseph the dude with the coloured dream coat.
Peter one of the twelve apostles.

Don't really see any consistant links at all.

Edit: Well its was just that obvious.

And now the next stage i guess.

Uh, guys.

None of you have been here before? Come on. This is how I found Gangadiddle . . .


Of course, that doesn't help us out a lot now, but it does draw a connection.

Googling the other clues didn't help.


By the way, Michael is the archangel who commands the Army of God in the books of Daniel (OT), Jude (NT), and Revelations (NT). Gabriel is the angel or archangel who announced Jesus' birth in Luke, and who also fought alongside Michael in Daniel. I don't know much about the Book of Daniel, so I can't tell you much more.

In the Books of Samuel, David is an important Hebrew king in the Old Testament, son of Jesse, and Jonathan is his ally but also a son of Saul, the first king (who preceded David). Jonathan normally would have inherited the crown, but Saul was cursed by YHWH, and Jonathan instead helped David gain power. The love between David and Jonathan is apparent, and in modern times homoerotic elements of the Books of Samuel are often emphasized.

I don't understand the relation between Joseph and Peter. In Genesis, Joseph was the eleventh son of Jacob, who was sold into Egyptian slavery by his brothers. Joseph was sent to prison, but in prison correctly interpreted two dreams Pharaoh had, and was released and made important and wealthy. Joseph predicted seven years of good harvest followed by seven years of famine, so the Pharaoh stockpiled grain for seven years and therefore was able to make it through the famine while surrounding regions suffered. At this point, Joseph's brothers returned to Egypt to buy grain (nowhere else had any), and while they were there, Joseph eventually revealed himself to them, and they were sad, etc.

Peter's story seems to bear no relation. Simon Peter was a fisherman who was chosen to be one of Jesus' apostles (in all four gospels) and who did great things (in Acts). Jesus said he would be the rock on which he built his church (Peter literally means "stone"), and indeed Peter was an important leader of The Way and early Christianity.


And yes, I assume "Get hyper with your markup" must refer to HTML. "Hypertext" is the only thing I can think of "hyper" reasonably referring to in that circumstance. But perhaps he was just telling us that the codes were for HTML docs on his site (thus we knew to type michaelfiltersgabriel.html, not michaelfiltersgabriel.pdf, etc.).


Now for the latest puzzle, all we have is:

Michael Filters Gabriel
1: 111a113h

Jonathan Processes David
2: nrn15dnt

Joseph Solves Peter
3: v91thd.m

Well, I have no idea. And it is way too late for me to try to solve these now.

"The College of William & Mary in Virginia (colloquially known as The College of William & Mary, The College, William & Mary, or W&M) is a public research university located in Williamsburg, Virginia, United States."

Looks like going back to the real world might not be as smooth as we like.

My p-word crack is upto 4 letters now.  Which would imply that is longer than 3 (except i didn't check that it would try non letter/num chars or if they are even usable and i aint stopping it after so long).

On the corners we have northwest is Sor:9 Kappa Alpha Theta
                                    Northeast is Sor:10 Delta Sigma Theta Sorority
Tried most numbers to do with these guys also.

We might need a man on the ground as it were...perhaps its something we cannot see on google-maps.  Hunt Master if it is, please upload a g-map picture to act as out eyes.
I'm from the land of Kangaroos so going to be no help with physical stuff.

There is a good chance somebody will have to actually go to this intersection and physically search for the clue. If that is the case, the clue will probably be some kind of marking put there by the Hunt Master, not a natural feature. Does anybody live around there to check?

E: Wait a second, dolst lives near there, right? Maybe he could help us out.

E2: For what it's worth, I just got confirmation from the Hunt Master that we are now in the real world, which explains why we can now communicate freely with the real dolst, why he suddenly found the video msg.wmv posted on Youtube, and why is Youtube and Twitter accounts are now back to normal. However, Twitter has recorded all past tweets. I'm not sure anything can be done to delete them, though. Also, many people are presumably still trapped in isolated worlds, which is why the Hunt Master is still acting erratically, trying to help them. That is also why we must still find the Gangadiddle.
