Our Hidden Puzzle That Took Nearly a Year to Solve

Added 2020-04-01 11:14:59 +0000 UTC

Good grief, this one took quite some time to get out. Many of you might remember our video from early 2019 where Brian and Jason talked about an article that detailed 5 Secret Codes Hidden in Plain Sight. You all might also remember that there was a secret 6th code, and it was hidden in our video.

It took over 9 months for somebody to finally decrypt all of the breadcrumbs and find the end. I was on one hand unbelievably relieved that somebody had made it to the end and I had some small vindication that I wasn't a complete fool for making a broken and unsolvable puzzle, but on the other hand stricken with stress for needing to take myself back in time nearly a year to make this video revealing how it was all done. Add to that everything going on at HQ and increased publish rate of videos on the main channel, and this reveal video edit inflated to a 5 month timeline. But finally, my journey has come to an end.

Please feel free to let me know if you spot any typos, if something is misspoken, or an explanation doesn't make much sense to you. If there are any needed edits, I'll try to get that done in time to re-upload before this goes public in a day or so.

Thanks to everybody who went out of the way to give a little extra attention to the puzzle, I know it was kind of impenetrable this time around, but seeing people band together and share theories and information really brought me some joy!
