Brand New Day

It's a brand new day, and a great one to solve a hunt!

11.29.25 - While it isn't necessary to solve this week's hunt, finding the flag might just help!

12.01.25 - I made a state-ment about a flag, but to seal the deal and finally nail this tough solve to the wall, find one that represents them all.

12.01.25 - I won’t be long-winded: 1x + 1x = 2x

12.01.25 - We’d better speed this up… seems like so far I’ve just been yelling into the wind 💨

12.01.25 - Perhaps I should have said talking into the wind 💨

12.01.25 - Picture of the "Great Seal of the Navajo Nation"

This one was a bit of a swing and a miss, you could say. The black-outlined logos (along with the sun above the logoboard) made up an abstract replica of the "Great Seal of the Navajo Nation," complete with animals, mountains, and corn! Not an easy find, I admit!

Once you clued into the Navajo connection, you might have considered the Navajo Windtalkers, a.k.a. the Navajo Code Talkers, who were United States Marines in World War II that used their native language to create an unbreakable code for sending secret messages. Not a perfectly intuitive connection, I admit!

Once you were looking at the "Windtalkers Alphabet" you might have seen some familiar words if you'd studied the puzzle diligently: AL-AN- (or NA depending on the source) AS-DZOH, which translates to "cross" in English. If you THEN decided to start connecting AL-AN-AS-DZOH (both colored versions of it), you still might not have solved this hunt! But (arguably, and roughly) the two "paths crossed" (closest to) on top of the "MTV's Jackass" and "Ferrari" logos.

The solve was the sum of those two numbers 88351 (jackass+horse=mule would have counted as a successful solve too!).
