Why couldn’t the amulet have been hidden by Aunt Alice, who understands modern key exchange algorithms?
Did she want for only to Biker Bob to find it, but Cop Charlie found it first?
For the second amulet she tried quantum encryption, but Engineer Eve kept interfering with the particles.
And she kept dropping them! Eve’s a dropper.
Futurama did a great take on this with their Da Vinci Code parody episode.
Animatronio mentioned a fountain. That’s a statue of Neptune, god of water. The number of points on him trident is three, or trey. The “u” in his name is written like “v”. Trey, “v”. Trevi! It’s the Trevi Fountain. There can be no question!
“but what about–?”
“There can be no question!!”
I watched all of Futurama, but I don’t remember that episode. Which one was it?
Here you go!
Listed as season 7 on D+ for some reason
Often times season 6 refers to the movies produced between season 5 and 7.
Thanks, now I remember
I remember a book I read in elementary school (in the Cam Jansen series, IIRC) where the main conflict was a mean older brother put a password on the new family computer (a huge deal in the early 90s), and the younger hires the kid detective to find the password. The password is “hot dog”, ultimately determined because the desktop BG was a picture of ketchup and mustard.
I recall being not super satisfied with that ending.
I had one friend who was obsessed with these idiotic “lateral thinking” puzzle books, because she’d read them to us and then pretend like she had figured out the completely ridiculous scenarios from the start.
I had an elementary school teacher who would do these puzzles with our small class.
It was much better than your situation though: he would already know the solution and basically we took turns asking him yes or no questions until we figured it out.
This is what it’s like to watch Detective Conan in America. They will even have commercial segways where they say “hey, remember this important clue!” And then not even use that clue in the English dub’s edit. They still present it as a mystery the viewer can solve, but then the solution is always some convoluted BS using clues the audience was never shown lol
commercial segways
I’m amused at the linguistic backport that just occurred here.
I’m sure they meant segue here
segue 1 of 3 imperative verb se·gue ˈse-(ˌ)gwā ˈsā- 1: proceed to what follows without pause —used as a direction in music 2: perform the music that follows like that which has preceded —used as a direction in music
No, I totally meant those little upright, lean-to go forward scooter things. 👀
Watching detective conan in america sounds expensive.
subtitles are slightly more annoying, but i at least partially know what’s going on.
plus english dubs often times suck balls.
Any trick using strings is absolutely magic
The next clue is in the White House!
(This was a reference for, like, maybe 10 people. 10 awesome people.)
Firefox when I click on the address bar and start by typing ‘m’: Oh, I know! You probably want xkcd.com/2869 — that’s got an ‘m’ in it!
My browser, everything has the right first letter. Granted, h is just random because http…

Easy mistake to make. The Neutrinos fought alongside mutants against the forces of Dimension X on more than one occasion, but they weren’t mutants themselves.

Sounds like Reacher Season 2
I haven’t seen it so I’m not sure if that actual critique of the show or if you’re makinge a pun that Reacher is “reaching” for clues
