THE HUNT (Season 2)

HUNT #6:

HINT: You'll need to get part way through, then, perhaps, Freckles, Metro, Short Round, Norma Rae, Tokyo Rose, Han, Chewy, etc. can help you.

ORIGINAL CLUES: ONE TWO THREE FOUR FIVE SIX SEVEN EIGHT NINE

SOLUTION:

1) First, notice the last image contains greek letters with eight blanks. There are eight images above this, therefore, we are looking for something in each image to fill in each blank.

2) Secondly, notice each image has a set of brighter stars, with one star in each set flaring. The bright stars form common constellations. The flaring stars indicate we should pay particular notice to that star. A bit of research on constellations will reveal that constellations are made up of luminaries. These luminaries are often given a greek letter of indication in their name. So, what we now have to do, is look up each constellation, and find the greek letter that corresponds with the flaring star. A fair amount of google searching should yield a site similar to this. So, for example, we find the first constellation is Sagittarius. The flaring star is Nunki, with the greek letter designation of Sigma. Continuing in such matter, we fill in all the blanks, and then convert the greek letters to their english equivilents, resulting in "SUZIE'S SIGNAL".

3)Finally, we have to figure out who Suzie is. Most likely, this is related to LOST, so, it would be good to perhaps search through the transcripts or try to think of character's named Suzie in the show who or characters who have something to do with some kind of signal. The clue may have helped, because Suzie is one of Sawyer's nicknames. Sawyer refers to Bernard as Suzie, and therefore, the final answer is Bernard's Signal:

FINAL ANSWER: S.O.S.

THE HUNT is a scavenger game hosted on this site. Each week, you will have to use a series of LOST-related clues to find information in the real world and/or on the internet. Not ALL information given to you will necessarily be related to the current HUNT. There may be some disinformation included, or, there may be information included that will need to be used in future HUNTS. By putting the pieces of the puzzle together, you will find the solution to the weekly hunt. The first 10 people to enter a correct answer on this page each week will receive points (10pts for 1st, 9 pts for 2nd, and 8pts for 3rd, etc). Whoever has the most points at the end of the game will receive a Season 2 LOST-DVD set in addition to the honor of HUNT CHAMPION.

You are welcome to play, but, you may have to help with the cost of shipping if you win. Also, the DVD format will likely be NTSC. If you require a different format, I will try to accomodate, but there are no guarantees.

Since SWLS Staff don't have any insight into THE HUNT, and no additional benefits above normal users (in relation to THE HUNT), SWLS Staff will be allowed to participate in THE HUNT. However, SWLS staff members will not be eligible for any prizes. In the event a staff member wins, he or she will get the title of HUNT CHAMPION, but the DVD Set (or other prizes) will go to the highest placing normal user.

PREPARE YOURSELF! To do well in THE HUNT, you'll need to know your LOST facts. The more you know, the better. Use this site, and others as resources. You're best friend in THE HUNT will be the GOOGLE BAR at the top of every page on this site.

THE HUNT begins on June 21st at 9PM EST and will continue throughout the summer hiatus on Wednesday Nights at 9PM EST.
