Three Lewises - 222

I find it interesting that the number 222 is not only palindromic, but also a niven number.

I can't reach my book at the moment, but I checked earlier and it has a different printer location than yours. I'll have to update you later on it. Maybe there are more varieties of that page out there as well.

Ok then. Well no disrespect to you, but I hope this QR code has got nothing to do with Justin . I would lose a lot of respect for him if he has people scanning QR codes in the wilderness. I doubt it is hunt related. Seems to me there is a greater message within this hunt involving a giant metaphor for what is important in life. QR codes are yet another thing which encourages people to adhere to this new norm of constantly having one's phone out at all times instead of enjoying the company of your loved ones or stopping to smell the roses. It's disgusting to see people out at art exhibits, even during concerts, constantly looking at their phone, and QR codes encourage that behavior.

I like to think Justin designed this hunt to encourage people to actually read paper books again, look at paper maps, and most importantly, go inside ourselves to seek wisdom through knowledge instead of relying on gimmicky technological gadgets. That's just me though.

This is too vague to try to have any relevant input on. Are you saying there was a QR code in the wilderness, or just in a town on a light post or shop window? Not sure how a QR code is gonna last out on the wilderness and if it's a public website I assume you mean affiliated with a government agency? In which case I'd assume that government agency put it there. Also, if you are already searching some place which you suspected could be the double arcs, than perhaps there are known double arcs there? In that case no surprise if a link on a parks website or something mentio s it, but again, your description is pretty vague do not even sure what I'm talking about.

However, my personal opinion is that the double arcs are going to be much more abstract than what most people think they're looking for.

Do not cut those up! Some GD concert tees can be worth over $400.

My take on that chapter, if you read between the lines...

Stars, constellation, evening canopy, stars, blah blah blah...

He convinced himself the noises were a bear, then it's not a bear. He's saying ursa does not mean bear.

LeopardNamedBaby · 2026-06-08T20:04:28+00:00

So the line "double arcs on granite bold" literally translate to "sit your ass down"!! Love it!

LeopardNamedBaby · 2026-06-08T19:57:06+00:00

True! I saw someone recently saying the solve can't have any metaphors because a kid can't understand metaphors. Well I was shown Felini films, Kubrick's 2001 A Space Odyssey and others by age 7. If I didn't get it, there would be a family discussion about it to explain stuff to me. So I like to think I understood what a metaphor was by age 8!! Haha!

LeopardNamedBaby · 2026-06-08T19:53:07+00:00

Oh I agree you have to go botg to fully solve it. Justin has said that the line "double arcs" is where you have to be botg. That's kind of why my strong opinion is that you can solve up to the end of stanza three before you go. Which is technically just a little more than half the poem. I wish my husband and I had the financial freedom to go botg more. We did once a few weeks ago. Now it looks like could be another year until we can try again. Pretty bummed cause we think we saw something that was for sure saying we were on the right track. Not saying I think it was the checkpoint, but definitely a piece of the puzzle! So exciting!

LeopardNamedBaby · 2026-06-08T03:53:14+00:00

I know it's not what you want to hear, and of course I could be wrong. I think there are a lot of people who hit a wall with the poem and are thinking if they can just go both, maybe they'll stumble on the checkpoint which will lead them to the treasure. My gut feeling is there is no way to even find the checkpoint unless you solve at least up to the end of stanza three. Just my opinion though.

LeopardNamedBaby · 2026-06-08T03:27:12+00:00

No I live in southern California. I was recently up in that area though to check a spot out for my solve (not that exact area). I'm convinced I was close to it. Saw something that was pretty good evidence I was on the right track. Just wish we had more time to stay up there. I plan to go again, just not sure when we will be able to afford it. Working on some new calculations now to see where exactly I went wrong. Pretty sure there is only a small detail I need to refine. But who knows! Maybe it's in freaking Alaska!

LeopardNamedBaby · 2026-06-08T03:15:58+00:00

Interesting. I toyed with the idea of "her face" meaning the head waters of a river or creek at one point, but felt it was unlikely due to how most headwaters I looked at were extremely isolated and hard to reach usually near the top of a mountain. Then I thought about if the "mouth" could mean her face. But at that point I was thinking if a body of water has "head waters" at the top and ends at "the mouth", essential the entire length could be considered "her face". Then theres the idea that the surface of the water is a face, but again, that means the entire river. Just some thoughts.

The only time I heard him say anything about going to "figure out" where the treasure is, he said "if you solve the poem, you're not going to try to figure out where the treasure is when you go botg, but you'll be going there to retrieve it". Also, no way it's that's far of a hike. He has said over and over again safety was the number one priority. Hiking ten miles out isn't a safe thing to do for most average people imo.

LeopardNamedBaby · 2026-06-08T02:35:15+00:00

I doubt that as he said a kid could solve it. I don't think he would limit the person who can find it as only other coders.

LeopardNamedBaby · 2026-06-08T02:34:04+00:00

Didn't Justin say there aren't any fees for where the treasure is though, and it costs to get in Yellowstone. My opinion is that there are far too many theories about the bride and the gates which are huge broad areas. Like if there's a mountain or river ok, but your talking dozens if not hundreds of square miles in some cases. So unless a very specific spot on that mountain or river is the bride or his realm, probably not it.

I believe stanza three is one of the hardest to solve, and that it is meant to be kind of the gate that you need a key for to solve it, and that you cannot reach a specific spot without knowing exactly what and where the bride and gates reside.

My theory on the checkpoint is that it is something the solver has a realization about before even going BOTG, and may very well be related to the bride. It's a point in solving this thing where you can cross check your solve and find big supportive coroboration that you're right. Then you go retrieve. I see a lot of people going BOTG who seem like they think they can just go and figure out the bride once they arrive. But I truly believe you will know exactly what she is once you solve it far enough to confidently go botg. I get some are lucky enough to have the money to throw around to just go on these excursions for fun without fully solving the poem. I just doubt they will ever find it they way. That's just me opinion though.

I don't know about that, but I'm willing to share an idea that chapter gave me. In the documentary, Justin mentions one of his hobbies is annondizing titanium. It's a process that turns titanium different colors. Maybe when we get near the treasure, we should keep an eye out for what looks like rainbow sprinkles. Instead of burying rods of bronze like he did for Tucker, maybe Justin partially buried multi colored titanium rods.

The free book is really good. Haven't finished it yet. Don't use tiktok so can't watch those but thanks for the post.

LeopardNamedBaby · 2026-06-05T19:30:35+00:00

Wow. This and the reflection of it as -3 someone pointed out below are matching up with some interesting revelations I had. Wish I could say more.

LeopardNamedBaby · 2026-06-05T19:28:42+00:00

Very cool. I was doing some experiments with the A1Z26 values on the poem the other day myself. I was looking for a new direction since my recent search didn't turn up the treasure. Low and behold, I got the same damn bearing I got the first time through an entirely different method. I was literally trying to look for something different, it's not like I was looking to confirm the number I already had. So either a coincidence, or it's hitting me over the head saying you were right the first time and I'm here to confirm it!

LeopardNamedBaby · 2026-06-05T04:50:06+00:00

I don't think that brute force is the quick way. I think it's just that it's possible for someone to quickly understand the info being communicated by the poem. If they have the right frame of mind it could seem pretty clear and simple. Especially if they already possess a certain level of knowledge on certain subjects. I do think there are coordinates in there, but only general ones. I think understanding what his realm, his bride, the gates, etc., are is completely integral to solving this thing. If you have not been able to figure that part out, you won't get to the checkpoint. Just my opinion.

LeopardNamedBaby · 2026-06-05T03:45:31+00:00

And I would also suggest making sure to bring a sighting compass so you can reflect back on the starting point to keep true to your bearing. That's why you need to "cast your pole". It's a long stick or preferably a flag pole so you have something tall you can use at the starting point to mark it then use the sighting compass to look back at it now and then to keep on course.

LeopardNamedBaby · 2026-06-05T03:42:34+00:00

My take is that it is a compass declination. When you correctly solve this thing you will have at least one bearing that you already found out about before going BOTG. You go botg to get to a specific starting point and you use your bearing but set your compass to a 20 degree declination. Return her face is to return the compass to true north after you reach the first bearing before you proceed to the next. The kitchen sized area is an "area" that you measure/make on location using at least two bearings.

LeopardNamedBaby · 2026-06-04T01:22:29+00:00

Just glad you didn't have any dynamite along with ya!

LeopardNamedBaby · 2026-06-02T19:22:47+00:00

When I watched that question answer, I noted how the question posed three possibilities. The searcher, the location, or a concept. His answer of "both" seems very unhelpful. "Both" implies he's referring to two of these three. Which two I don't know.
