I don't see how the images can help us at all with the numbers and letters in the middle.
But they're not on the images ...



Your point? 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?

Brainstorming with CrazzySnipe55 (and others!):

First - [ Four in a Literal Septagon ] Could be:
+ Fourth in series of 7 arms on the septagon
+ Stand-in for the word "for" or "four"
+ Stand-in for a date or time
+ A key number in a sequence of numbers intersected by lines connecting the dots
+ Related to awards Bungie have won.

Second - [ Half of a Cuckoo Clock ] Could be:
+ "Time left"
+ "Half-time"
+ "half cuckoo" :-)

Third - [ Angel ] Could be:
+ bsAngel
+ Halo

Fourth - [ Bungee Jumper ] Hard to see this as anything other than BUNGiE

Fifth - [ General Patraeus & a G note (in the Treble Clef) In C major too if it matters ] - Could be:
+ Marty's Army

Sixth - [ A Green Apple ] Could be:
+ Apple, Inc.
+ New York City
+ Granny Smith

Seventh - [ Phone with Banana as the Receiver Webmaster is a Gorilla, Gorillas eat bananas
I've added a bit to that, not much but a few details.

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 must be something that brings us to the numbers.

Who's the "Chief of Staff" at Bungie?
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.

Harold Ryan is studio manager.

I see a connection forming from the pictures about a certain person. :-)

It's time for the Saturday morning hint! Since I didn't give many out yesterday, I will drop a few this morning and see how this goes.

Each of the pictures is associated with a number. For instance, the Bungee jumper is associated with the number 1. The apple on the table is associated with the number 2.

The musical note as people have said many times over is indeed a G, but that note also has another name, which is the more useful name for this puzzle. Remember, these are devious connections.

The image of the clock has been cut in half as you see. What type of clock is it?

Lastly, none of the pictures are associated with employees.

Webmaster, Apple, Marty, Bungie, Halo, Half-time


Marty worked on Halo with Bungie, Apple kickstarted Bungie, The webmaster responds to us half the time.


I'm just really curious to know what's up with the 4 at the top. I feel like it's a game-changer.

The clock is wooden. As for the G, I shall hunt.


Number wise, Sol, So, or G is the fifth note of the fixed-Do solfège starting on C.


Sol? The Sun? Slingshot?

That might help. What about the clock?

I'm pretty sure it's a cuckoo clock.

Edit - yeah, definitely a cuckoo clock, just search on google images, it's on the first page.

It's cut in half, but I found something on wiki.



Dondi's clock was a seven-sided construction, 1 metre high, with dials sho The main point of the sentence? 7. We may be looking for an astronomical clock (Sol) that uses one side of it only?


Also interesting, about Hemi-spatial awareness (there's the spatial reference again.)


f someone with neglect is asked to draw a clock, their drawing might show only numbers 12 to 6, or all 12 numbers on one half of the clock face, the other side being distorted or left blank


One more thing regarding Sol more than clocks, but an interesting connection none the less.

An equation clock is a mechanical clock which includes a mechanism that simulates the equation of time, so that the user can read or calculate solar time

Oh -balm.-


Apple is number 2 because of the Apple II, which Bungie utilized in their older games.

Bungee picture is number 1 because the first modern bungee jumps were made on 1 April 1979 possibly?


Angel- 7 Halo rings?


Musical note "G" could be 5 because G is the fifth note of the fixed-Do solfège starting on C.

The pentagon with the 4 could be: 9, 4, or 5.

The banana phone?

The reverse image search may be the best thing to happen to Google since the Pac Man homepage.

The edit is, admittedly, completely true.

I'll lay it down: The answer is revealed. How the answer was arrived at? Well, it was incorrectly produced.
