That's in Washington

Looks like we've hit a dead end. Pack it up, guys.
It's been fun.
>>84900440
I's already Page 10
>>84900420
Our only lead or idea right now. This location is our only real guess aside from the thousand other vague ideas.
The odd suggestion that more than one of the clues is needed to find the statue but it could simply be the first and last as they were "ripped apart."
>>84900563
>Looks like we've hit a dead end. Pack it up, guys.
>It's been fun.
okay, bye bye
Alright guys. I've gotten in contact with the girls that are still at ToM and letting them know where Hyde and Sigma might have missed something. Again, if anyone has any theories about the possible location there, share them now so I can help more.
>>84900420
I'm not buying it.

The clue is in Africa. You're welcome.
>>84900420
>>84900408
Are these in the same place? if so it seems like a good lead
>>84900620
is there anyone at the vortex rn?
>>84900576
duh it is now, but at the time of the thread being created it was still page 9
>>84900563
Oh my God, I just realized something
>where it all began
What if there is no statue, and the riddle is talking about the statue IN THE SHOW?
>>84900630
>Going to Africa
Nigga, I don't want to catch ebola.
>>84900636
within 3 miles of each other
Worst case scenario is we need every single clue or moth of the clues combined for the final riddle.
Better case, once we're sure of what the hand with a tree in it symbol is on the first clue, the last corner is a straightforward map from that to the statue at the X. The dotted line leads from a six fingered hand with a tree or triangle inside it, this symbol is surrounded by little eyes. Maybe like the eyes in the trees from the show, I do not know.

Welp
>>84900759
>>84900761
TMofGF, we supported you when no one else did, we are your fandom. We are your home.
Give us the clue.
Alright anons lets get serious.
Let's make a list of all the clue's we've been given thus far and the messages that accompany them.
>>84900795
Where is she headed? If its at the ToM then we have nothing to worry about.
>>84900420
Lebam seems somewhat likely but wtf? How do you get the map to point you there?
>>84900795
Reminder that the Bill from that bench was from another event that Alex made a long time ago. It has nothing to do with this.
>>84900761
TMOGF, Hey so that means it might really be at ToM? Our two anons looked for hours but found nothing. Is there a hint to where the clue is? Already looked at the graffiti of bill and carving.
>>84900967
Nope and nope
>>84900648
Yes, someone from discord said they are heading there and Crater Lake.
>>84901027
I thought the Vortex had been ruled out
>>84901027
jesus christ thats some hardcore trekking across the state
>>84900459
I'm in the middle of Oregon right now. Willing to drive to any place in the state, but I'm convinced the written in the trees refers to the trees on the parchment.
>>84901047
It was ruled out because someone texted the Tour guide, but someone should check it just in case.
>>84901064
Unless they're talking about the Mystery Tour.
Has anyone plotted where the last clues were found? Could match up with the trail.
>>84900778
4 hours away, but I don't by it. The map doesn't line up to lead you to Lebam.
>>84901064
You should go to that place in washington or go to crater lake
>>84901058
I think they meant different people. I know Cas said they would check out the Lake.
ALRIGHT SO.
FIRST OFF ALEX GAVE US THE PAPER:
THE URBAN LEGEND HAS COME TRUE
CIPHER'S STATUE'S CALLING YOU
THE SECRET MAP IS IN YOUR HAND
TO TRACE THE CLUES ACROSS THE LAND
MIDDLE PART:
PINES
ON THE BOTTOM:
DON'T FORGET IT'S ALL FOR PLEASURE
THE HUNT ITSELF'S THE REAL TREASURE
BUT A PRIZE AWAITS THE FIRST ONE THERE
BE SAFE, BE SMART, AND OF COURSE BEWARE
THEN WE HAVE RUSSIA:
Finally the hunt can begin
So switch your Rubles out for Yen
Turn left when you're at the shrine's door
When you reach the statue turn left once more
In the leftmost corner in the back
Is the info that you lack
A sword and a crescent mark the clue
Cipher's statue's calling you
THEN WE HAVE JAPAN:
Consider in your quest for truth
The hunter of the fountain of youth
400 before his name is written
Outside the gate is where its hidden
Find what's LOST to pass the test
From a Shrine that's east to a Shrine that's west
THEN WE HAVE ATLANTA:
across from the stones of the springs
you'll find some peculiar things
tied to a root is a lone pink key
dig to find what waits for thee
>>84900761
What? I don't undestand.
What did he mean by this?

THE FINAL CLUE IS IN YOUR HAND
THE PARCHMENT CAN BE SUCH A TEASE
THE ANSWER'S WRITTEN IN THE TREES.
THESE ARE ALL THE RELEVANT CLUES WE'VE BEEN GIVEN. STUDY THEM ALL CAREFULLY.
>>84900693
Fucking christ
Check the intro, the picture in the intro with Bill, the part in Dreamscaperers where he's first summoned and when he turns into a statue. Pay attention to the trees. See if you can find anything.
This may be it.
>>84901132
Why crater lake? Live in WA, and Lebam is almost on the way home. Will check that but will be late.
>>84901169
I'm sorry, that's the best I can do.
>>84901231
Lebam seems good to me
>>84901237
That's alright, just answer this, is this supposed to be the hardest clue yet?
>>84901109
No? I'm talking about the 9 trees at the bottom of the parchment.
>>84901294
Yes, it's intentionally difficult.
>>84901317
Welp.
Start grasping those straws, boys.
Update:
Someone is at the Snoqualmie Falls (The ones in the viewfinder clue) right now looking for clues. They uploaded higher versions of the images in grayscale.
>>84901281
It's a stretch for me. It does mot.match up with the map so... why do we even think that?
Are yall retarded? Searching for places like that will eventually get you to the statue with a lot of luck, but all clues so far where precise enough so that there was no need for randomly going to locations.
The latest clue is also very obviously referring to the poster that is "where it all begann" and completed with "the final piece in (our) hands" aka the map on the back of the last clue that seamlessly fits into the right upper corner of the poster. The coordinates or a more precise hint to the location must be found here - they're just very well hidden and only of use with the treasure map bit.
The trees on the poster are what we should focus on again, we gave up way too quickly. We already found random sequences with lining up branches with words in the encrypted text and also by counting branches of each tree and transforming the numerals. With the right Vigenere ley we might be able to solve this.
Also don't forget about checking not only hidden messages in the branches, but between them as well. While I'm not convinced with the letters/ runes theory it seems just too convenient, so let's keep checking options here.
At last a reminder to think around the corner - try out stuff others haven't yet. Be clever.
>>84900894
>>84900860
Any chance these two things are related? "No new material" latest hints point towards a location where a previous event occurred...
I'm sure I'm a dumdum, but has anyone got a high-res shot of the first clue, the PINES one?
The year is 3086 and mankind is but a distant memory. The new dominant species, evolved squids, have only just begun to use written language. In their primitive cave paintings, they report of an odd rock, possessing 3 edges and a central eye.

Dammit, now I can ONLY read it in Peter Cullen's voice... (Luckily it sounds better that way)
>>84901552
The answer is in the PALM OF YOUR HANDS
look at your palms and notice that there's a triangle with a single line adjacent to it
Where in the northwest is there an area with roads like the palm of your hand?
>>84901153
I was going to complain about not posting pictures as well, but you're still based.
>>84901430
aight boys, someone just post the combined first clue/last clue image and we'll take a look.
>>84901652
nvm here it is from last thread
the reddit summary is fucking awful and missing a ton of details. Is there a better one somewhere?
>>84901609
Weird, I can only read it in Edward Cullen's voice
>>84901674
What kind of trees are those?
If we can figure out the species we might get somewhere
Alex probably got tired of people begging for hints so that's why he stopped giving them
>>84901674
Could someone try drawing lines from where the branches end? Probably nothing but just in case
points clues were found connected
>>84901751
Or he's not giving any because this is the big one and daddy wants us to earn the statue.
>>84901751
God. The puzzle saga really let this hunt in a critical sate.
Do you think Alex regrets it?
>>84901777
This could be the triangle in the circle possibly
>>84901777
Someone overlay the current map with the hand at the center of that giant X / island area of Canada
>>84901855
i was looking more at the triangle in oregon
I think that Twitter guy was wrong about the runes - some of these trees don't even work as a rune, doesn't spell anything - but he may have been on to something about how conspicuous the branches are.
Now that I think about it, did the trees in the show even look like that? Is that how he's ever drawn trees?
>>84901764
Someone already tried that, it pointed to random letters but nothing came from them. I tried to decode it with no luck.
So what happened? I left for work before Trees of Mystery opened.
>>84901911
We found the statue and us, Discord, Reddit, and Tumblr are all one big pinecest family.

This is the greatest game of Jumanji ever
>>84901685
It does leave out a bunch of details but apparently it was written by tmoGF so perhaps these are the only points we need to consider to solve the clue?
maybe ignore the zeroes
>>84901972
>>84901983
FFFUUUUU
I was really hoping this was it.
I'm starting to miss the puzzle.
At least we knew what to do back then.
I'm bored, so I'll shoot out something I have doubts on and you guys can either shoot it down or see if it matches in anyway.
Gravity Falls was made at 811 Sonora Ave, Glendale CA, so thats where it all started.
There was always talk about rusty gates. A few blocks from Sonora is a park called Griffith Manor Park.
Other possibility I thought could be Los Feliz California where Alex has lived, maybe still does, and Disney Studios began a few blocks away too before moving to Burbank. Blocks away from both is Barnsdall Art Park where is an art park that has focus on Southern California artists.
>>84902099
Wouldn't hurt to try.
I'm sure if we wait awhile Alex will give out a clue.
>>84902099
This is a Frank Lloyd Wright designed house at the arts park, its just interesting
>>84902099
eh....
The hunt and show were created for children so i don't Alex would sent people to studio's but more to locations like parks and stuff.
>>84902099
Can any anons in the area go there?
Has the area around the house of pies been checked yet?
Did we ever figure out if the x made of twigs in front of Bill has any significance?
>>84901476
Be the little girl.
Have you guys looked into the area one of the discord fags suggested?
>>84902099
This does not sound bad.
>>84902259
x marks the spot
>>84902099
Are you me? I was JUST thinking this.
However, where did the "return to where it began" clue come from?
A decoding achieved by the missing map piece or was it a clue from Alex/TMoGF?
>>84902270
No, because that'd be a complete waste of time.
>>84902270
They went there and are still there looking.
Found this on some twitter user's post under the cipherhunt hashtag. Unsure if it means anything to anyone else, but posting because any info is better than no info. I'm going to bed, best of luck to everyone!
>>84902383
Seriously? Is there no limit to their stupidity?
I really fucking hope that it's in Lebam, and that Anon can check it
>>84902435
Besides the name Lebam, and the pine trees, what else about it is relevant to "return to where it all began"?
Been part of /gfg/ since Alex first posted the McGucket hoax.
I was there when we realized the Kolus bird on the totem pole was a giant clue.
This is all very surreal.
The prize is probably a couple tickets to disneyland, and getting to meet Alex.
Sometimes I wonder if Alex ended Gravity Falls so that he could re-cycle the characters and setting into a long-running series set in a later summer. Wrap up the biggest plot and that summer, avoid the fate of Wander Over Yonder
but he's buggering off to Fox.
>>84902222
>house of pies been checked yet?
The blessing of quads suggests we should look.
>>84902476
The parchment we made the map out of was the return to where it all began part of the clue
>>84902477
>I was there when we realized the Kolus bird on the totem pole was a giant clue.
FUCK. I remember that, Season 1 and Season 2A were so fucking good and clever.
Why did 2B suck so much ass?
>>84902477
>but he's buggering off to fox
what?
>>84902411
We sent people to ToM based on no evidence. Are we really any better?
>>84902410
What the hell are they even trying to do here?
>Where it all began
If you do remember months ago, people went to the Vortex. Isn't that the place that all began when trying to find the Statue?
Are you guys sure that the statue isn't where the 1. clue was found?
Near St. Petersburg, In Russia, there's a forest... I mean the whole missing piece of the first clue kinda makes sense to me with this...
>>84902501
Thanks!
What leads that to us thinking it's around Lebam? An overlay of the map or something else?
>>84902583
He's making a new show for Fox.
>>84902599
People checked. There was nothing
>>84902599
The vortex was debunked yesterday
>>84902619
really?? any info on it?
>>84902589
we had a lot of evidence though, who is to say the clue isn't there but we haven't solved the exact location?

Might as well try.
HEY RUSSIA!
>>84902604
THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING. I haven't heard anything about anyone checcking Russia again.
Don't think this is a relevant clue. But posting for reference
Has anyone checked bear the House of Pies?
I'm not sure what to make of this, it could be nothing
But the whitespace looked kinda like block letters so I traced it
Green = dubious, try combinations of with+without those branches
>>84902759
Why should we go back to Russia?
>>84902604
I don't really think it could be there, but I like your idea tho. But seems to me it's probably located somewhere in the states.
>>84902702
I was being sarcastic. Why on earth would it refer to the Vortex which was never part of the official riddle.
>>84901176
>>84900726
Is this place private property?
>>84902569
>Why did 2B suck so much ass?
Alex put all his effort into the "Stan's Long Lost Twin Brother" as the big mystery. Everything else washackedtogether, sometimes at the last minute.
Remember how we suspected that Stan was using Ford's identity, and so we used "5tan/6tan or Fez/Fingers" to be clear who we were talking about...
Or thinking that Ford was the twins grandfather...(gee Alex, who does your mom let you write TWO Grunkles?)
>>84902660
Oregon Vortex to. Just tumblr and Reddit went to it
>>84902659
I'm to say that.
did you guys figure out what 8-15-10-19-5 means, which is literally in the trees of the first clue? i'm not too up to date with this.

So can someone make something of the two hands drawn in red ink? Am I the late retard with this?
>>84902810
no,it's a rec center which is open to the public
>>84902874
makes sense. did that actually add up to any of the clues?
>>84902952
It was the cipher key for the coed on the top and bottom
There's a place in Oregon near la pines called the twin lakes/woods.
Thoughts?
I'm right by crater lake, I can go check it out
https://twitter.com/mabelrhymeswith/status/758424082035580928
I have an idea for what the vigenere could be used to decipher but no keywords I've tried work and no one has found anything written in trees for me to try
Wouldn't it be in new jersey if it's where it all began?
>>84903002
Where was it taken? Unless it is like near st petersburg i doubt it means much.
WAIT! Where was Gravity Falls made, like where Alex created it?
Maybe thats what it means?
>>84903069
We've already thought of that namefag

IT'S NOT JUST A PINE TREE
IT'S LITERALLY AN ARROW POINTING IN THE DIRECTION THAT NEEDS TO BE WALKED
AVOID THE PATHS AND JUST WALK STRAIGHT GOD DAMMIT
Stop focusing so much on "where it all began", that probably was only referring to the first clue.
>>84903088
Yeah but has anyone thought of looking in the Disney lot itself?
>>84902410
Thats mine, Sorry its messy as hell, was just writing out as I thought and not for organization.
We counted the Branches, pines needles, and knots. We converted them to single numbers and put them through a1z26, atbash, ceasar and vingenere (using pines as a key)
We also Tried to use the needles/branches/knots as offsets to eachother using ceasar and put them through all the same ciphers.
We tried making everything binary and playing with that a bit. and got it to fit a phone number but it was a number in Missouri and didnt go anywhere. We also tried to convert diffrent combinations of the trees/branches/knots into longitude and latitude.
Last thing we tried is having the branches offset the needles depending on direction of branch. None of these gave anything worthwhile.
We are currently seeing if the vectors of the branches match to any of the letters in the messages. And trying to see if the break between the trees that separates the into 5 and 4 means two words of 5 letters and 4 letters.
>>84903002
AHHHHHHHHHH WE'VE LOST TO ANOTHER FUCKING INTERNET GIRL.
>>84903167
Those letters plus the letter carved into the trees. Someone Scrabble this shit.
>>84903224
How? It's just a tree with a weird picture on it, it could be completely irrelevant.
Has crater lake been debunked?

He made Grunkle Stan, a big-nosed miser...a Jew.
LOL
>>84903714
HOLY SHIT! I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO BELIEVE!
>>84903664
Well he is actually Jewish, I mean genetically.
Stupid sexy Jews... *grumble*

>>84903763

Get the fuck out.
Does anyone know why there is a box in front of the second line on the last clue? Is it intentional?
>>84903763
>genetically a religion

>>84903133
4 of those trees have vaginas, it has to mean something.
>>84901674
Probably just repeating old info here, but the three alchemical symbols are, left to right, Solution, Coagulation, and Pulverize.

>>84903805
>Religion
>Not genetics
i cry
>>84903805
For fucks sake why is it that people think religion is fucking genetic....
>>84903714
It's not even close. I get there's "Lebam" (which was briefly in the show but part of no clue so far) but this is a big stretch.
>>84902099
I was there last week when this whole thing started and the sun turned blood red.
We were all walking around catching Dratinis(it's a nest). Didn't see the statue, not very foresty either
>>84903805

Can we save our HOLYSHITS until we get this actually figured out? Every time someone posts a half baked theory several people freak the fuck out for no reason.
When it's right we will know, it'll 100% click, like the rest of the clues.
>>84903805
Wrong word choice? They were both a race and a religion for quite a long time homie.
>>84903843
>>84903805
"Jew" is unique in that it can refer to either the ethnicity or the religion. You can say "ethnically Jewish" but you wouldn't say "ethnically Christian" or "Buddhist"
>>84903816
It's a hidden reference to Chris-Chan's Taint Miracle.
>>84903860
I live in Burbank, shame I missed that sunset, though I did catch the moon rise when the fires started and it was that blood red.
>>84903901
Can I use this prolongued conversation to post more pics of Alex being cute then?
>>84903645
Honestly man, if you live in the middle of Oregon your best bet is to stay put and get ready to move at a moment's notice.
GF is located in the middle of Oregon...or according to S2 ep1 near the middle right almost to the border of Idaho. I'm guessing the statue will be in that area somewhere.
I am fucking stumped.

>>84903946
Yes.
I still want to fuck Alex
>>84904099
Looks like a scene from the Shining
>>84903428
Do any of the other clues have unacounted for letters?
Maybe if we combine them we can create a message

>>84903714
>>84904198
Do we have someone near Lebam?
I wonder when he'll drop the next hint out of being excited.
Or if he actually is waiting at the clue for people, out of that.
>>84903763
>>84904143
oy vey
>>84904277
He basically stated he's not going to.
I'd give mad props to Alex if he doesn't give another clue in the next few days. He believes in us.
been gone all day, what happened since last night? was the clue at the paul bunyan trail?
>>84904281
You got /v/ in my /co/
Someone try to find clues in TMOGF's last post. I know there's a clue written in yellow there, you fucker.

>>84904432
Yellow?
https://twitter.com/mielyn_/status/758435988066668544
This is hinting that we've not discovered the real intent behind the clue.
The the answer is in the trees.
STOP TEASING US
>>84904363
He shouldn't.
He gave too much time for the puzzle and a lot of people probably stopped following after it.
He should of given less time for the puzzle and the most time for the statue.
The fucking hack-manlet is rubbing it into our faces
Wait a minute....
Parchament?
Not Parchment?
Is that a typo?
>>84904563
What does it mean?
>>84904505
I may have something, I just need to know if dorshh means anything at all
>>84904496
I think each clue should take one day each. The puzzle took nearly four days, and it still hasn't been physically solved. I think its difficulty was completely underestimated by the hack
Hey, we have someone from the Discord at Snoqualmie Falls but they are not sure what to do out there or where to go. Any ideas?
>>84904483
FUCKING COCKTEASE
I don't really think this is anything but I was chasing the "in your hand------> palm" train of through and coupled it with oregon and ended up with this Palm Tree company.
Aside from not lining up with the rest of the clues, the place is by appointment only so don't bother harassing them guys. I just wanted to share to show how far we're reaching.
>>84904563
It was a typo. I C/P'd from OP so blamed him.
>>84904526
>>84904616
But the same typo is in the shared image that Alex just retweeted
WHAT DID THE VIEWMASTER SAY
Maybe the true statue was inside of us all along
I'm wondering if the first clue has anything we can connect to the last. Eith all three lines together, there might be a more complete meaning.
For example, "trace the clues across the land" at first seems to be a genetal "follow the clues" statement. The obvious hidden meaning is to connect the locations of the clues on a world map. However, it could have something to do with the parchment. Maybe we should be tracing lines, connecting things over the first cluue, in order to find the position of the dptted line.
At any rate, the amount of "perfect places" we'be found makes it seem like this either wasn't researched as thoroughly as it could've been, or there's something specific here that distinguishes the real location from all the others.
>>84904638
What could this mean?
>>84904691
Viewmaster was used to find the Confusion Hill clue.

There once was a man named Alex Hursh, who was King of the ciphers. He had fame, power, and wealth beyond your wildest dreams. Before they hung him from the gallows, these were the final words he said: "My fortune is yours for the taking, but you have to find it first. I left everything I own in Oregon." Ever since, the Gravity Falls fandom from all over the World set sail for Oregon, searching for Bill Cipher, the treasure that would make their dreams come true.
From Journal 3.
>>84904956
*Hirsh
I fucked up!
>>84904691 are there clues in the trees of the view master?
>>84904665
It's what I meant. When making the image, I cp'd OP with the typo and didn't catch it before posting. I'll post the finished HD version with all the clues here later. Just my way to cool down from staring at the same clues and go back to zero.

ALRIGHT WHAT THE FUCK
WEVE BEEN STARING AT THESE TWO PIECES OF PARCHMENT FOR NEARLY 24 HOURS
WHAT SECRETS COULD IT POSSIBLY HOLD
>>84905121
So confirmed there's something in the first clue somewhere, other than the map?
There has to be something there that we're missing.
>>84905121
Shit. So it probably is in the trees in the first riddle huh?
>>84905121
So... Back to Russia?
I mean he would be a troll and put it there right?
Upsidedown, the branches of the tree spell somethings like ELLKLHF does that mean anything?
>>84902268
>>84905121
Wow, I'm happy he confirmed that!
That means we don't have to pore over all the other clues ad nauseam anymore and we can also eliminate having to backtrack to other assorted "beginnings".
What are some "famous" people that like GF?
It's gotta be those letters and numbers we've been seeing in the trees
>>84905121
But the viewfinder had nothing to do with the Enchanted forest
>>84905225
No, I think it means the first clue ALEX put up + this last clue combined (to make the full clue).
I don't think it's in Russia.
This is the penultimate stop. It's somewhere on the west coast because it makes 0 sense to put Bill anywhere else for this shiow.
>>84905225
Is there anything in the first piece of parchment that does not pertain to the Russia location?
>>84905299
>>84905121
The viewfinder led to confusion hill, not enchanted forest
>>84905285
There's that dotted line around Bill in the first clue. Has anyone tried moving him&it to the triangle on top?

The trees.The Pines.
I tried matching up the red letters in the first and second ciphers to where they'd line up in the last clue, but that proved to be a bust. The red letter in the first line of the second cipher is too far down to match up with anything in the first line of the last clue
>>84905335
>penultimate
I don't think that means what you think that means.
Well, I give up.
Give me a (you) if you find anything.
>where it all began
>i first saw kristen schaal in 30 rock
guys it's all about hazel wassername
>OP STILL doesn't post combined first and last clue
I wish the first clue was physical so we could see the other side.
>>84905380
Maybe the word PINES is encrypted somehow?
>>84905190
What if he means the first clue the fans found, I mean its too obvious the one he gave us fits in and it even combines with the last one. So maybe The last clue is simply part of the first or visa-versa. I'm just throwing that out their because at this point who fucking knows....
>>84905398
Fuck off. You know exactly what I mean with what I said, even if I used the word wrong.
>>84905398
It means "second from last", and that's correct usage if the statue is the ONE MORE FINAL.
Maybe the statue is around CalArts?
>>84905468
Nah, they're right in that I meant to use a word indicating the final stop. They're just getting triggered.
What if the clues combining means this is only the first step of a grand adventure?
>>84905416
Here it is
>>84901674
Has anyone tried matching the symbols in the first clue to alchemical symbols? One of them resembles silicon andthough I hardly see how that'd be useful, any information is welcome at this point
Watching the vid themysteryofgf just posted, he mentions the last clue is really hard
uh huh
>>84905559
Where in the video
>>84904691
Soon this will rise to the tier of the world's greatest mystery
>>84901674
In the upper left hand corner before the line leads off to the X, We see the circle containing the six fingered hand containing either a pine tree or a pointing arrow symbol, but we also see three circled dots.
The three circled dots could just be eyes, but could they also be something else?
Locations, a map as seen from above? Perhaps the arrow in the hand indicates the arrow is pointing northward, and that is how the map is configured?
The three dots could be places or towns?
Is this a ironic thread because some of these post sound like someone took a little bit too much of coffee.
I'm in the car so sorry I had to use snapchat this is my best attempt at tracing out letters
1/2
I feel like were overthinking this, it's probably not some crazy encryped 5 times mystery but just a really simple way of looking at the clue
Has this been tried before? I only got gibberish when I tried matching the letters
>>84905641
No.
We've just been at this for a week and everyone is sleep deprived, fatigued and grasping at straws.
>>84905641
They have had too much coffee.
>>84905641
This has been going on for literally a week. Many of these anons are probably only awake because of coffee.

>>84905722
BILL IS TRAPPED BY GREEN LASER BEAMS
>>84905703
He said it was the hardest one
>>84905722
It's been tried, but they all come out farfetched and dumb so no one's bothered. If you can actually make something coherent come out of the branches, you probably solved the mystery.
>>84905618
If those are towns, then this is an awfully long trail.
I think they are eyes, there are similar drawings on the rights side of the page and one looks like it has lashes.
I'm not sure any of this is relevant though, since the tail of the dotted line sort of fades away, rather than ending at the hand.
There are a lot of singular branches with needles at the end, in the trees. It's hard to tell if they stand out as a design choice, or just coincidentally.
>>84905666
Wait a second, you might be onto something. I don't necessarily think that the letters are Latin, though -- the angular shapes remind me more of futhark. It's a crapshoot compared to your more rational explanation, but it might be worth looking into. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elder_Futhark

Futhark has been tried. It comes out gibberish and nonsensical lines, even when being passed through code breakers multiple times.
Anons, this was my fortune cookie. What do you think?
>>84905666
If you're using negative space, there's an M under the leg of L and an S in between E and C
>>84905742
Oh god damn, those are tiny. Look for more
>>84905825
Bill wouldn't mention God
>>84905834
But anon, he invited everyone
It's just that no one can make sense of the fucking invitation
1. Use first AND last clue. Ignore all new material and all clues between the first and last.
2. Do not necessarily take the parchment at face value, as it can be a "tease".
3. The red route connects a six-fingered hand, and an X (that marks the spot).
4. There is an X in front of the drawing of the Bill statue.
5. There are NO obvious letters or numbers "hidden" in the trees of the first clue. Any symbols are very subtle and up for debate, likely nothing worth analysing.
>>84905881
KEK. Gonna use it in the cork board.
>>84905786
Only one of them has six needles. The rest have seven or eight. The one above Bill's hand.
I found a triangle imprint on the first clue
Maybe it could be enhanced? It looks like there's writing
I don't know
>>84905918
He'd want to become one.
Sorry if this has already been pointed out but have we tried the tree map from before but imposing the whole page over the map and the x infront of Bill being the destination rather than the previous x?

I bet "tease" was just to rhyme with trees. Remember people saying "maybe bolt is a lightening bolt!" or "pink key might not be a pink key!"
Hirsch's riddles tend to be pretty straightforward. The answer is somehow encoded in those tree branches in the parchment. That makes the most sense. But its probably a really hard pro code

>>84906195
Newfag is obviously new. But what he's saying is the right idea. We need expert code crackers. Hirsh probably got some autistic super fan to make this tree puzzle. We need to ask people who do geocaching/code cracking every day

I guarantee its something along these lines. Hirsch would never just hide tiny letters on the parchment. It would be too likely that someone would notice before the hunt was over, and then all the other clues would be worthless.
Im telling you, its got to be something mathematical with those branches. Some deep level shit.

Once again, this isn't Reddit, you can UPLOAD IMAGES here.

Those lines on the branch...kinda look like branch runes.

>>84906732
Each tree is a number. Value of thoseach numbers is dictated by how many branches, needles, and knotts the tree has. 5 on the left 4 on the right.
It's looking like lining them up and adding decimals places longitude and latitudes the origin of the map near the mystery tree... just confirming that the map lines up.
Why do all the pine needles come off a branch coming off a branch? Do they look like that in real life? Weird.
The clue of the trees looks like it has some kind of texture on it that makes things less clear, could the "parchment can be such a tease" be referring to that?
Is there some method of removing or negating the clutter of the texture?
>>84906884
Correction may be a bit north.

That picture is a mess of lines and curves and beige on beige. Where is the letter P meant to be?

HIGHLIGHT THE LETTERS YOU RETARDS!
"Return to where it all began" is literally ONLY referring to putting the teared paper in the top left the first clue. That's it. Now we need to focus on the red route, not tiny fucking letters (which are likely compression errors anyway)
>>84906932
I can't see a P but I can see an l/H followed by an e.
There are so many goddam things that look like letters in this thing. How do we tell the true letters from false?
what happend to super imposing the red trail to thr map?
tmog said we were close a few threads back. Maybe we need to revisit the theories in that thread ?
>>84906932

was thinking more of a 7
>>84907207
Alex said the only clues we needed was the first and last.
>>84906702
Clearly we need to go A
>>84907207
>alex confirms all we need is the first and last clues
>retards still think the journal might have something to do with it
>>84907207
We already tried that
I traced the path from the top with the hand on a transparent image, trying to see if it syncs up with something on the tree part of the clue, thought I'd share
>>84907207
Lurk more
>>84907207
>alex hirsch says that only the first and last clues are necessary
>people are still yammering about looking in the journals
>>84907143
Oh...
So that's why it looks like a shitty vector trace from Illustrator...
>>84907235
whoops
>>84907270
The shit is still there (most of it) but the outcome of the enlarged image looks completely fucked. Use the original, guys.
>>84907207
The Journal has been confirmed to be irrelevant. We only need the first and last clue.
>>84907035
No I agree now honestly.
I tried zooming in and while the R really, really looks like a typed R, the other "letters" could just as easily be bumps and whorls on the paper.
This may be a dead end/false alarm after all.
Counting the branches/needles/knots and seeing if they are numbers, correspond to letters through code, or lat/long WAS guessed at yesterday and tried but nothing's come of it yet unless I refresh and there it is....
I think we should turn this image >>84901674 into a hat.
It seems like something Alex would do.
>>84907304
>the original that got fucked by twitter's image compression
Good luck
>>84906666
holy shit you did it !!!!
>>84907419
funnily enough, the discord fags already tried that
>>84907419
You might be something on there...
>>84907463
Someone already did that lol
>>84907461
>>84907487
Oh.
But did they do it right, though?
Are the branches flag signals?
What's the highest res image we have of the tree's the on the reddit post is shitty
>>84907516
I edited this image
>>84901674
I used the original from twitter and added the map, I didn't resize it or anything.
>>84907419
>>84907461
This. I saw an image on Twitter where they made it into a hat
Maybe we should try the number idea again and see if counting things like branches (taking note of direction), needles, and knots as well as whether the tree is in the foreground or background leads up to numbers that are a code to crack OR lattitude and longitude.
All of which we did think of earlier and nothing has come of it so far, but who knows?
Honestly if we could get some code crackers from anyone here it would be helpful if the little letter thing is not it. It seemed promising because of the R but the others looks too vague at least on my computer unless someone has better resolution.
>>84907510
Semaphore? I looked into it, but couldn't make anything of it. they don't really come in pairs.
i put dots directly to the right of letters i think i found, colour coded sort of. red is A. In the the thing circled i think i see RRN?FRPP or something close to it
>>84906492
Did anyone follow through on the needle suggestion from earlier? There are seven clusters in total and nine trees. Six clusters are pointing towards Bill. Only one tree has more than one cluster and three trees don't have any.
From left to right the number of needles per cluster ignoring zeroes are: 8, 8, 8, 7, 6, 7, 8
If we count needles per tree: 8, 16, 7, 0, 6, 0, 7, 0, 8
>>84907419
>>84907419
that or turn it upside down... or both? I dunno
I got it, it's Stanford University, the 3 circled dots align with the 3 memorials, the hand represents Stanford, the answer is in the trees because Stanford University logo is a pine tree, and the map is a tease because it doesn't align with a road, only the X matters.
Bill Statue? Sure, I've got like ten of 'em. And uh.. candy! Yeah lots of Gravity Falls candy, come on in!
>The parchment can be such a tease
Has anyone tried looking at the scratches on the "parchment"?
>>84907722
HOLY SHIT

Maybe. I guessed upthread that the three circled dots might be landmarks. I see that one of them is exactly at a crossroads. Are the other two anything?
>>84907722

>>84907973
I'm not there. I did what I could.
>>84907722
Someone at Stanford should see if it is in "Sculpture Garden."
Though this answer doesn't really use "written in the trees" unless something is on a tree around Stanford.
Also I know people guessed yesterday and even when the first clue first came out that the hand might be "Stanford University," nobody has checked yet?

>>84907722
Oh huh, I forgot the logo is a pine tree, that helps, and the three memorial do vaguely feel like the three circled dots? And the X is around a Sculpture Garden?
I admit that this doesn't look spot on or enough like a home run on its face for me to get too excited but it's worth looking certaintly. Some of the other clues weren't really home runs but were still right.

>>84907722
>>84908145

Yeah, there are statues there.
Guys, remember: MAYBE it's there. The key word here is maybe, don't get too hyped.
>>84908198

>>84908166
I'm in California, but about 4 hours out from Stanford; don;t know if there's anyone closer than that.

>tfw the discord stole my image for their fucking icon
>>84907722
Well holy fuck.
Stanford U was one of my first thoughts when we were all looking at the x/map but I discarded it because we were all looking for MYSTERY and forests.
FUCK. I could have had this last night!
>>84908244
>>84908198
AHAHAHAHA
That doesn't like a forest
I knew it
You guys got hyped over nothing
But still
>>84908262
You could still go, maybe there's a clue. I doubt the statue is there but a clue is still possible.
>>84908293
Can you still go?
>>84908247
Yeah what the fuck is with the hype for retarded ideas? Are we being invaded, or are we just more idiotic than usual?
>>84908262
For fucks sake don't go. It's baseless.
>>84908285
Are you kidding? God damn garbage people!
>>84908198
The New Guinea sculpture garden is still AT Stanford, but it seems unlikely that they would let Alex add a bill statue to it
>>84908247
I wouldn't get too excited because many of our other ideas sounded good, too. Also, the hand = Stanford University has been guessed and thrown around often, BUT I don't think anyone ever bothered to look.
HOWEVER, I still think it is worth checking there and that anyone nearby should do it. I am not "counting" on it being there but that does not mean it is not either.
>>84908322
>retarded
Better than anything in the thread so far.
>>84908320

What happened during the past hour? I'm guessing not much...
>>84908276
>>84908244
>>84908335
I fucked up. I thought the New Guinea statues were literally in New Guinea, not that they were from/made by it and located at Standford.
It still looks hard to hide a statue there, especially since it sounds difficult to move.
>>84907722

NO SHIT WE'LL LOSE THIS WAY
>>84908198
Is this California sculpture garden?
Honestly at this point someone going to school there should just walk over and check to see. I wouldn't frive for hours but if it was on my campus I'd just walk over and look to make sure it isn't there.
>>84908376
Anons are seeing Jesus in their toasts.
>>84907722
It's not there. The statue is in Oregon state, not California. It was confirmed.
FUCKING MOVE. THAT FAGGOT SIR BLAH ALREADY STOLE THE CLUE.

One guess was around Stanford University because of the hand. But it's not that strong a lead. I still think a student there should check. Rule it out, anyway.

If it was at Stanford, someone would have surely seen it already. Well-trafficked area.
>It's at Stanford University because Stanford is named Stanford!!!
Fuck off. We need a better reason than that.
There's something hidden in that image still, damnit.
>>84906544
All dots connected
reminder to not look for the statue, but to look in the trees to see if there's anything there as well. we still don't know much about that clue
>>84908465
It works with the riddle.
>>84908447
>>84908451
TMoGF told me in DM's on Twitter back when the show ended.
Why do people think the statue is what we're going to see next? It could easily be another clue
>>84908488
Things just got interesting.
>>84908488
there's gotta be a GF autist taking classes there or sitting in the gardens
>>84908492
>comfirmed
>>84908492
Because the hand represents Stanford.
>>84908548
or it represents weirdness
or it represents the journal
or it represents our hand, holding the clue
or it represents a dumb attention whoring tripfag

>>84908720
Because he said its the last clue you fucking retard

No, this is the final clue. The answer to this leads to the location of the statue, which is in the state of Oregon.
