    And then if you put makeup on the back of the book, you notice an old Gaelic word which means "Independence", which you can attribute to The Declaration of Independence. The Declaration of Independence was featured in a Nicolas Cage movie titled "National Treasure" with 2 movies. The Roman Numeral for 2 is presented II, which also looks like the number 11. So you go to page 11 of the book and you notice Grover is holding a parchment. The parchment seems to be raised on the page a bit, so doing some careful digging you notice its actually a flap on the page. Under the flap is a string, which you can pull to reveal a secret compartment revealing an embarrassing picture of SpongeBob at the Christmas party!

      @OneDollarWilliam 7 років тому +16

      It's a holdover from Norse that transitioned into the English word Can, As in: to be capable of. Around the 12th century the middle English word kennen (or cennen) split into ken-nowe (Can-know). Eventually they split apart into Can and Know, but in the dialectical speech of Northern England and Scotland the Ken-nowe was simply shortened to Ken. Use of the word did maintain some popularity among English poets as in Shakespeare's "The Rape of Lucrece" - "'Tis double death to drown in ken of shore" or Coleridge's "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" - "Nor shapes of men/ nor beasts ye ken/ the ice was all between."

    • @thetopchili2975
      @thetopchili2975 8 років тому +55

      His complaint wasnt that it was difficult. It was that the puzzle is too obscure; in as being difficult to understand without a comprehensive knowledge of a certain subject.

    • @pinetree5184
      @pinetree5184 8 років тому +12

      I don't think it's obscure. The weird words, braille, morse code, muppet names, hand positions, changing red font, and green words all stick out as something is off. Once you work out each of them, it is clear. The Green words one I think was the hardest for me, and the ending how you recognize they are all the same number of letters.

    • @DWardington
      @DWardington 8 років тому +41

      I think the only one that is stupidly hard is figuring out what the fonts are

    • @OneDollarWilliam
      @OneDollarWilliam 7 років тому +7

      Maybe it's because I do some graphic design work, but I got 4 out of 5 fonts right off. On the other hand, never having been exposed to the higher class of crossword clue I couldn't work that out at all and I didn't even notice the semaphore.

    This was so fun to do. I was unable to find the pokemon puzzle but managed to get the rest. Then with your help on the pokemon puzzle I managed the ending after coming back to it a few time throughout the day. Thanks for sharing. I just stumbled on your channel in my feed. I love puzzles and escape rooms and never knew that there was such a community built around these types of puzzle. I am excited to work through some more puzzles from this hunt. You've got my sub!!

    • @CabaccaEntertainment
      @CabaccaEntertainment 8 років тому +25

      I believe it was a part of the mystery hunt he was a part of, so he might or might not show that puzzle. He just wanted to highlight this puzzle from the set of puzzles that he had to solve for that even because he found that this one was cool. English is not my first language so not sure if I explain correctly. I can not think of right word to describe some things.

    • @FLEBpuzzles
      @FLEBpuzzles  8 років тому +108

      It was an answer used in the metapuzzle for this round. The Mystery Hunt is arranged in rounds, with sets of puzzles. As you solve the puzzles, the answers themselves form a puzzle.
      Usually the answers are very constrained! In this case, the set of answers to this round were all 6 letters, so they could be folded up into cubes. There were 8 puzzles, and the 8 cubes from the 8 puzzles formed a 2x2x2 cube. You can read more about that metapuzzle here: solutions.monsters-et-manus.com/hunt/solution/cube.html
      The metapuzzles are usually designed first, because they're the hardest to write, and then the puzzles for the round are written to have the answers needed for the metapuzzle. In this case, they needed to have a puzzle with the answer MAKEUP and chose this set of mechanics for it.

    • @Joey28P
      @Joey28P 7 років тому +24

      I thought the answer was "MAKEUP", because the puzzle itself is, in some way, "made up".
      The puzzle that was supposed to be at the end of the book is non-existent, at least not in the way that it was described to be beforehand. From the last speech bubble you also get the implication that the puzzle that was previously promised is made up, and instead you get another puzzle.
      So I guess in some way you get the answer to the first puzzle, by solving the second puzzle. But I'm probably reading into this way too much and I'm not even sure if what I said makes sense heh.

      This one was solved during a competition, which I don't have the film for. I think it took our team an hour or two to solve. Our team was 150 people, but where was about 10-20 (this number may be completely wrong, but that's my impression) puzzles unlocked at a time, and our core team was about 40 people.
      Next year I would film us solving the MIT Mystery Hunt, but we won! So we're writing next year! I'll try to film more about wrong paths, I think that's a good idea.

    I feel like they could make a Da Vinci Code/National Treasure movie on this book alone.
    can you imagine Nicholas Cage and Tom Hanks sitting there going "the fate of the world depends the answer to this book"

      Enter Nicholas Cage, Tom Hanks sitting around the book.
      "ELMO MUST MEAN SOMETHING" Nic Cage shouts, eyes bulging from head. "HOW CAN WE USE ELMO IS HE EVEN A MUPPET" Tom Hanks replies, eyes also bulging from head.
      I think there's potential!

      I have heard a lot about it, but haven't tried it! I'll have to check it out. My personal favorite puzzle book is "The Maze of Games", which is a lot of fun.

    Than you for sharing this book. I'm confused as to why you put each page in their own PDF? PDFs can have multiple pages, it's literally what they're made to do. Why keep them separate?

      It has to do with the overall structure of this puzzlehunt. The answers to the individual puzzles were themselves a puzzle!

    This is the kind of puzzle the protagonist of the story can only solve because the plot demands it. This is Sherlock Holmes level.

      @FLEBpuzzles  7 років тому +1

      It's a very particular style of puzzle called a puzzlehunt puzzle. They have their own rules and styles, but once you get a feel for them, they're a very interesting style!

      mrbinkey04 You have to attend MIT to get them while they come out.
      But you can do puzzlehunts on Sporcle too! They're easier, and they don't require 150 people to solve them.
