Does anyone remember what the total hours for the countdown was when it started? I know it has to be at least 7 hours but could have been more.

I think I saw that someone said he uses this word 5 times in the book. I don’t think it’s a very common word to use at all. Any theories?

Let’s say in your search area you come across a QR code that is indestructible. It takes you to a public website and on the page is a word that relates big time to this hunt (sorry I have to be somewhat vague). On the same page it takes you to another spot not too far away that is public. You get there and can’t figure out what to do next. Would you be excited for a QR code that seems to imply it’s related to the hunt but then can’t figure out what to do next?

I see people saying some things that maybe I’m mistaken with, but fairly certain that some aren’t correct.

For the checkpoint stanza I believe that the quote was “at least halfway through” or at least stanza 3. To me this means anything from there on, not just stanza 3.

Additionally, I see people saying the must be BOTG must be double arcs because he said that stanza. But he never said where in that stanza.

This is where I believe there is confusion. People are saying that the checkpoint can be solved from home which yes that could be possible. But it is also possible that the checkpoint is at the very end due to the wording and therefore the checkpoint would be after BOTG. Am I way off base or do I remember correctly what he said?

The thing bothering me the most is the checkpoint. What realistically could it be? All week I’ve been BOTG and I’m always scanning for anything, but honestly I don’t know at all what I’m looking for. The only two things I can come up with that would make sense and be able to be hidden from non searches are a trail registry or a QR code that’s metal. It’s frustrating because in theory you could be right on the checkpoint but have no idea without knowledge of what it is. I’m at a loss on it.

On some of my BOTGs, if I come across a log book I always check to see if Justin is in it. I always think it’s a long shot but worth it. But thinking recently about it, maybe some kind of trail register could be the checkpoint? It’s both something that was there already and something he can modify. And non searches would have no clue who he is so it wouldn’t matter if they saw it. I think it would be clever but I’m seeing if anyone else has reason to think that there is no way it’s possible. I can’t see any reason why it wouldn’t be possible.
