Thread: Clue #3 - CUTQ

Hi Sue,

Thanks for the reply.

Based on looking at Clue #3 for an awfully long time, I'm concluding that Adamav's ring is the penultimate step in solving this puzzle. Consequently I'm not worried so much about dialing the columns up and down. I think the final step is to anagram the 34 letters within the ring (as Adamav tried) similar to what appears to have been done with Clue 5. I suspect the final message will be an announcement for the Ana and Rusful tokens. Here's some things I've tried:

G! MY PAIRHUNT: ANA AND RUSFUL TOKENS EXIST

HUNTGRY? ANA AND RUSFUL TOKEN MAPS EXIST

MRU HINT: ANA AND RUSFUL TOKENS PAGE SIXTY

MRI HUNT: ANA AND RUSFUL TOKENS PAGE SIXTY

Just playing around, but I think it's there.

The two-year anniversay is coming up on June 1st for this clue.

I've created a webpage showing my thinking on ATT Clue #3, which is located here:

www.geocities.com/kellylightning/ATT_Clue3

There are a couple of animations, so look for those.

I strongly suspect that the letters inside the ring of color words/stem should be anagrammed for a final solution. These 34 letters are:

E A T M O N N N K P S I T H R I S S X D U E A N U L R G T F A Y A U

I'm putting forth a challenge to anagram potential solutions from these letters and to post here or submit them to ATT by June 1st (the anniversary of the clue). I will collect the anagrams submitted here and forward to ATT. If one of these anagrams is the correct solution, I will award 500 twollars to the person submitting it.

Good Luck!

Not looking at your solution or your method or even ATT itself,
but taking your post as an all-inclusive question,
I would narrow it down to:

FIND THE XTRA TOKENS

with the following letters left over

A M N N P I R S S U A U L G Y A U

Thanks for the reply, Tron. Even though it's a short string, I think it's helpful, because I'm trying to identify key words. I'll set a possible key word aside and then work on a solution with the remaining letters.

In trying to anagram the 34 letters, I’ve thought about the following words:

Ana, Rusful, Token, Next, Page, Sixty, Anagram, Petal, Hunt, Hint, Find, Treasure, And, Is, State Park, National Park, Fairy, Exist, Paradigm, Extra, Round, Pyramid, Lake, Round, Area, Pair, August

I’d start with one or more of these words, and shift the remaining letters around trying to anagram something.

Since z and c are not in this batch, the following words aren’t possible:

Zac, Announcement, Second, Fifteenth, Summer, Look, California or CA, Puzzle, Clue, Vacation

Here are some anagrams I’ve played with (some are partial):

DAISY P ANAGRAM: RUSFUL IN NEXT TOKEN HUNT
DAISY P ANAGRAM: NEXT TOKEN HUNT IS RUSFUL
A DIPSY ANAGRAM: RUSFUL IS NEXT TOKEN HUNT
A DIPSY ANAGRAM: NEXT TOKEN HUNT IS RUSFUL
AS ANY PARADIGM: RUSFUL IS NEXT TOKEN HUNT
AS ANY PARADIGM: NEXT TOKEN HUNT IS RUSFUL
TRY HUNG MAP, ANA AND RUSFUL TOKENS EXIST
TRY M HANG UP, ANA AND RUSFUL TOKENS EXIST
MAY GRIP HUNT: ANA AND RUSFUL TOKENS EXIST
HUNT: ANA PYRAMID LAKE N R U S F U T O N S G E S I X T
TREASURE HUNT MISSION N K P X D U A N L G T F A Y A
FIND ANA IN UGLY HOMERUN STATE PARK S S X U
UNHOUK UNX PETALS AND STEMS A FAIRY RING
SLUGY EXERTS: FIND ANA MOUNTAIN PARK H S U
FIND AUGUSTUS NATIONAL PARK E M H R S X N Y E
FUTURE MISSION STATE PARK Y N N H X D U L G
ANA IS SIXTEENTH ROUND AUGUST PARK F M L Y N

Does this spark ideas for anyone?

I would focus on these first then see what comes out of what is left.
He never spells out park so I went with:
ANA SIXTEENTH, FOUND IN ??? SP
With : A T U S G U A M R Y K L left over.

Or it could say: ANA SIXTEENTH, FOUND AT ????? SP
With : I N U S G U A M R Y K L left over.

ANA SIXTEENTH, FOUND AT U.S. ARMY GUN KIL SP
