The Mail Sack is here to save the day!
[url=http://www.bungie.net/News/Blog.aspx?mode=news#cid32192]Let's open the Sack[/url].
As for the challenge, guessing at Bungie Lore won't be enough. We want to see your problem solving mojo. Team up if you will, but a winner is just a guesser without documentation of how they solved the puzzle.

We have to find themissinglink between the images, but I don't see how that'll lead us to the numbers and letters. Also, for whoever was asking, Petraues G was the Chief of Staff in 1980, but as for how... Who's the "Chief of Staff" at Bungie?[/quote]I'm guessing there is some form of cipher, which we'll be able to read from the link between the images and Bungie, allowing us to use the letters and numbers later on.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] SG Tumnus123 [/quote] Theoretically, let's say this is all true. That means we've found coorelations between the images, but where do we go from there? There [b]must[/b] be something that brings us to the numbers.

I'm fairly sure the apple is Apple - Bungie have had previous connections with them, so it would make sense.

Previously, people have thought as P.G. representing Marty and Co., but that doesn't seem to yield a thing. I shall dig.
-
He's saying don't relate the position of the Bungee Jumper in the image to the one in the Gizmodo article. The significance is that it's a Bungee Jumper. Period. The significance is that it's an Apple. Period.
-
I only looked up the images to get an idea for the possible phrasing of the search terms. Anything that i can do to think about the problem like the creator did might help. I didn't care about image content.
-
^ I doubt it, I'm relatively certain that the numbers and letters will be of relevance later. I think the first thing we need to do is discern the links between the pictures, and what relates them to Bungie.

[url=http://www.bungie.net/Inside/letters.aspx?letter=10997]The webmaster speaks of bananas[/url] Nothing big, but thought it'd be a good heads up. CTRL-F then type "Banana"
-
I still think that the 4 determines the order in which you use the images. General, Cuckoo, Apple, Angel/Halo, Banana Phone, Bungie.
-
I'm not sure if anybody has noticed this but, if you connected the dots you get a [url=http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll215/Verachi/Mailsackchallenge.jpg]Pentagon[/url] just like that pentagon on top with the 4. This probably wont help with anything but its something that I noticed.
-
That makes sense, but Oni isn't really a series (neither was PiD for that matter except if you count it in on the "omg Marathon Universe" thing, but even then they'd be lumped together).
-
[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] CrazzySnipe55 I think we should start with the relevance of each picture. First - [b][[/b] Four in a Literal Septagon [b]][/b] Obviously the septagon but the relevance of the 4 is lost on me. Second - [b][[/b] Half of a Cuckoo Clock [b]][/b] Not sure. Third - [b][[/b] Angle [b]][/b] It has a HALO over it's head. Fourth - [b][[/b] Bungee Jumper [b]][/b] Obviously BungIE Jumping Fifth - [b][[/b] General Patraeus & a G note (in the Treble Cleft) [b]][/b] - Not sure. Sixth - [b][[/b] A Green Apple [b]][/b] - Bungie originally made games for Apple Computers. Seventh - [b][[/b] Phone with Banana as the Receiver/Talker Thinger [b]][/b] Webmaster is a Gorilla, Gorillas eat bananas.[/quote] Perhaps the 4 is the series of games they've made? Myth, Oni, Marathon, Halo? (If we exclude PiD) The webmaster answers 'calls' from fans, so maybe that has to do with the banana phone? Bungie Jumping- They take huge leaps of faith when developing something new? As for the G and Petraues, those are both in one corner, so they [u]must[/u] go hand in hand.
