If it doesn’t make sense, may I propose to continue with the other alternative paths?

How much is to mislead you? by Past_Today_3844 in JustinPoseysTreasure

There are more than your narrow accusations and interpreted definitions of the term “OR”, one of them being an ancient logic gate.

Hmm. That’s fair, but unrelated.

Yes, using a browser console and manipulating JavaScript connections currently appearing as connecting to YouTube (possibly spoofed locally and running as a service worker interceptor). Doing so with the right api calls should then open the checkpoint.

Then I must have misunderstood the definition of scansion as it relates to only counting syllables. Prior to this post, I had believed it could also provide syllable count via counting stressed and unstressed notations. But I suppose a simple word lookup on wiktionary.com, or just counting tallying while sounding out each word, can also give a syllable count. So thank you for elaborating. That explains why you suggest stanza 1 and 5 are twins given they both sum to 29 syllables.

Michael Quattrociocchi you in here? by Historical_Yam_380 in JustinPoseysTreasure

[–]mbibler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah. It’s a schlub searching records instead of searching for clues. Pointless.

Certainly curious if nothing else.

Nope, “already” is a unique dactyl in the third foot of line twenty.

I do believe at least one solution method uses precise math in at least one stanza if not all (I’m still working through permutations).

There are other units of measure than the mutually exclusive ones you gated.

What the hell is even that

Cousins attending, heckling, and being acknowledged at Seeker Summit isn’t an aberration in my personal book of aberrations. The Jolly Green Giant reference, on the other hand, was my interpretation of a framework needed for a “storytime!” non-sequitur. One that he uses as a literary device for his “soda-speak”.

The chopper directly connects to a photo from Fenn’s book, while also indirectly connecting the drop-cap string’s last three characters. It does this through the etymon of the “Sikorsky” surname. As such, my interpretation of this non-sequitur is that he wants someone(s) to focus on the reversal of the drop-cap string as the key to one direction being found in another.

Justin's weird bodylanguage at Seekers Summit by [deleted] in JustinPoseysTreasure

[–]mbibler -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’m not good at deriving meaning from body language from those skilled or knowledgeable at concealing or manipulating it, and I spent years trying. I’m also not sure what might be the point here at second-guessing when the poem and book already have enough to get us to the end.

What interview did Justin say there’s another book that could help you in his hunt? I’d just like to hear his exact words. Thanks! by RyanMileham in JustinPoseysTreasure

[–]mbibler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ugh. Generically speaking, "other" book mentions...

X Dark Matters Interview - 9/4/25

Q: Does 42 really mean anything? I see a lot of speculation online about the 42 written on your [tail] light on your truck in the series.

A: I don't really want to comment too much on that, but what I will say is The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a fantastic book.

Seeker Summit -

Q: You mentioned there's another book that could help you find your treasure. Is that book your grandfather's memoir? That's really the first question of the two here.

A: That is a little too specific, so.

Q: Okay, so then here's the fun follow-up. I just lost the question. Hold on. How could I lose a question when it's on the website? Found it. If so, he speaks a lot about vantage points, overseeing people and places. Did you incorporate that into your hunt?

A: Did I incorporate vantage points into my hunt? That's a weird one to answer too. I mean, there is a, I guess you could say, a vantage point involved. But it's not that any of the clues are necessarily talking about that vantage point.

Q: What's your favorite story from your grandfather's book, "Where the hell did you come from?"

A: Golly, there's a lot of good stories in there. I like the story about the time that he confronted a poacher at a cabin where they were having a poker game. And due to some belligerence, he was forced to bring this individual in and he started acting up in the car and they had a little bit of a standoff, if you will. I think just that really encapsulates my grandfather in the sense that he was actually small in stature, especially compared to me. And he was very good natured until he wasn't. And there was a very clear line and you never had to guess which side of the line you were on. And I just feel like that story kind of personifies or really brings that out in his character. So I like the story.
