She says hex jumble. Can we backsolve it or was it just a fudge up?

WTF??? You gotta be kidding me. What a waste of time!!!!

Next time they have a drop, I hope they put a little more effort into double checking the accuracy of the data.

OK, I've been playing catch up for most of today. Here's what I've got for this:

From what I can tell, the XY puzzle was one of two things. Either it was a simple typo, or it was a deliberate mistake to throw those of us who are on Op's side for a loop. From what I can conjecture from the puzzle, one of the 1's should have been a 9.

Now some of you are probably asking "how'd you come up with that?" Well here's the trick. Someone came up with "Look familiar?" before, and it was later dismissed as an error. It just seemed too perfect of a fit for my tastes, with the exception of the one extra "a." So I started working backwards, and sure enough, everything fits, except for that one character. Therefore, in my opinion, that was either a mistake on the PM's part (and hey, you can't blame her for being human), or it was intentionally placed there to throw us off and keep us busy for a while. Both of those goals, in any instance, were met.

Conclusion: This puzzle is solved. Tachyon wants Brother to take a good long look at Gemma's videos. Maybe there's something that Tachyon is trying to tell Brother about Gemma. I don't feel comfortable with making assumptions as to what that is, however, I'm sure we'll find out soon enough.

Two things jump out at me with this drop:

1. It's clear that most people have chosen Op's side, and Tachyon knows it. It's funny that the "good guy" is almost the villain here.

2. How on earth did we guess the correct answer? I get that it was a HEX anagram/jumble and all, but with that 1 digit being off thing, it's a shock that it still worked.

In regards to the second observation, a few people might have messaged Tachyon with that guess and since it was right, the puzzle was considered solved.

Any consensus on what we think Look Familaar means? How would Brother know Gemma?
