Mystery [Mega Thread]

  • think about it if someone has already solved it and is waiting for the last day to complete the voyage and be the only one

  • Well that would make them a dipship, wouldn't it?

  • If H is Hogarth, how would he think of the gold hoarder? What words would he use to describe him?

  • @gaudierpuppy866
    It could be some sort of metaphorical cloud like jealousy or anger that cloud judgement.

  • Also in the crossword do the Xs mean anything? They all have an I surrounding them. And i feel like the x is a placeholder and we have to fill in the blanks to find the word. For example in one part it says “ixposters” isn’t it saying “imposters” maybe that could be our hint

  • link text
    Some may find this intriguing I’d paste it here but have no idea how

  • Could be on to something.

  • Why is “ADEPLOSSUR” circled?

  • I think crossword answer is gold. Its afore this word. Look. Easy. Gold is the word before for. What clouds a gold hoarders mind? gold. Ten thoughts of above.... Thoughts clouding the mind. They all have in common? Gold. Also it say s goldfort. Skull under forts on map.

    Anyways. I think it gold.

  • 'H' has four sets of numbers:

    4, 10, 3, 1

    6, 2, 10, 8

    4, 2, 7, 10, 11

    2, 9, 6, 10, 11, 7

    People have pointed out that these are the number of coins along the perimeters of the notes. Someone else pointed out these numbers make a straight line from A-1 to K-11 on the map. I'm still trying to figure out exactly what we need to do with these numbers.

  • I converted these numbers into letters and then ran those letters through the Vignere Cipher. Here's what I got:

    BVUNDNBUBNYWINASHWY

    Does this mean anything to anyone? Maybe it's some sort of word scramble?

  • @lucky11 I put BVUNDNBUBNYWINASHWY in the Longest Word on Dcode and got something like WASHHANDBASINS.

    WASH HAND BASINS? or WASH HAND BASIN?

  • @impymidna2303
    Maybe we should plug that into What Three Words?

  • @lucky11 they would have to make a straight line if you use A=1, B=2... because you are essentially using the same coordinate for X and Y. I do not believe the line is relevant

  • @capt-cacto BVUNDNBUBNYWINASHWY probably has to go to something else then.

  • Takes me to Olenyok River

  • @andynotfound123 olenyok in the four square cipher didnt give me anything

  • @capt-cacto, @ImpyMidna2303
    I've run through six variations of "Washed.Basin.Hands." through What Three Words thus far.

    The one that makes the most sense geographically is Bristol, England: https://what3words.com/hands.washed.basin

  • @lucky11 it's a place in Russia

  • @lucky11 on street view there is a sign reading "City Centre A38"; "Southmead"; "H A&E"

  • @capt-cacto H???

  • @impymidna2303 if only A38 was on the SOT map somewhere XD

  • I am going to be honest and say I really don't think the coins are letters because 11 is the highest one and that only allows you to use letters A-K

  • How do you add a. Image? I found something that might help

  • @capt-cacto
    This is way too much of a coincidence, right?

    If it is something, maybe we have to apply this to a cipher or something like that?

  • @armydad89 Upload it to an image sharing site (imgur.com, freeimage.host etc) and then click the little picture icon above the text box here which will result in this:

    Replace image URL with the link to your uploaded image.

    (triheadited the image link to display correctly, for freeimage.host you need to use the 'direct link' that ends in .jpg or .png)

  • I found this on a street view could it be something?

  • @armydad89
    Assuming this is Rare and not Bristol's maintenance/utility board (Or England's version of that), It does look like it could be Pigpen or something similar to Pigpen. Great find!

  • I don't suppose anyone can get into contact with the guys at Rare Theif, can we? This way, we can try to get some more eyes on these potential clues and determine if they are legitimate or not. (And if so, how to proceed)

  • The SOT discord has some ideas but I can’t really understand what they r saying.

  • @andynotfound123 Try to post their messages then we might be able to tell you.
