To Linc and the Lo-Fi Syndicate,
A few months back, you lost something that was very important to you. Remember?
Succeed at this task, and you might get it back.
Find her.
Protect her.
Earn her trust.
To expedite things, I have already identified "her" for you.
Remember:
Don't tell her anything.
And please show your work (I am watching).
If you need help, you should enlist "associates."
Perhaps members of your former team?
Report back with your progress, then await further instruction on Sunday, July 22nd.
BE READY.

To Clara,
Too slow. Oh well, we learn and move forward.
Keep your camera on. This is an incredible time for the creator inside all of us.
And like you, I am also seeking answers.
This is my story now.
Enjoy the show.

Dear Diary,
Today we smashed our heads against our desks trying to figure out what the hell all of these numbers meant. After noticing that all of the songs but 1 (Stars - Heart) corresponded to a clue in the Ray's drop, we determined that the Heart song must have been equivalent to the Hebrew letter "hay"
Since "hay" was the 5th letter in the Hebrew alphabet, we decided to treat it as such, and then simply assumed that the Heart song meant 5th as well. After meditating on the clue of "Put me together" and "I'll never be whole" we decided that there was a huge emphasis on fractions.
Adding up all of the fractions we came across (1/5, 1/5, 1/5, 3/5, and 1/15) you get 15/15 (made sure not to reduce to 1, since that was a whole number, and the clue says I'll never be whole).
At this point, we realized that the series of clues was used as sort of a signature in the note to Clara from the London drop, so maybe it was a type of name. We tried out some various usernames on youtube and eventually tried out "15over15" and got a promising account that mentions Clara, Linc, and others.
So I think this is the extent of this puzzle solved. Still not sure how Stars - Heart = "fifth" but the London drop helped us figure out the fact that it did = "fifth" so it's all gravy!

ReplyDelete"This is an incredible time for the creator inside all of us." lol - that's from the creators first msg ever back in sept.
ReplyDeleteAnyone else think this video has "Glenn" written all over it?
ReplyDeleteSee Jeromy Barber's "12 Street House" website, where Glenn Rubenstein is listed as a writer and producer

What does 15over15 mean?
ReplyDeleteMy best guess is that the number 15 is a reference to lonelygirl15, so it might mean:
15 girls over 15 years old
I think its referring to LG 15 season 1 will be OVER in a couple of weeks.
ReplyDeletehmmmm, that's an interesting theory.
ReplyDelete15over15 debuts 7/22/07.
LG15 Season 1 ends 12 days later on 8/3/07.
LG15 Season 2 begins 15 days later on 8/6/07.
So maybe it will be 15 videos in 15 days leading up to the start of LG15 Season 2?
OK, wait, I'm confused. Linc is the dehteraew/LFS guy, and who's Clara? Is she the Maddison Atkins senior thesis girl? Is this like a big crossover?
