I thought everyone in the US was taught the Library of Congress indexing system. We even use it in our colleges here in Canada.

None of those Air Force folks will ever be allowed in the LoC again. Did you see them flopping open that ancient little red book with no concern for the binding?

I will have to review my tape, but I understand what you mean. Some people don't realize the value and the need for care for old books.

They needed a book cradle or another form of support instead of just slapping it down --- which is even more frustrating because they didn't need to actually examine that book anyway.

What are the chances that they were replicas??? Wouldn't you think they would have thought ahead of possible destruction, so replicas were created. I imagine experts were in the back of the scenes for scrutinizing. The L of C wouldn't not been left open without some security and some respected personnel in the background.

No! Don't go through the tunnel! You're gonna be on the north side of Baltimore and nowhere near the fort.

And the Geniuses are the first to the secret chamber. They're looking for the clue to open the cryptex.5 letters...

So what was the deal with the audience clue going to commercial about seeking a reef?? Does that mean the 5 letter word is coral? That wouldn't seem to be "right in front of them." I think it is Scott as in Francis "Scott" Key but "crypt" was a good guess too. Since this episode has had a lot to do with the flag, I also thought it might be "stars." One thing is for sure, if I were in this finale and the leader of my team, I would assign two team members to be looking for the "chamber" entrance while the 3rd member simply followed behind them and concentrated his/her mental efforts instead on trying various words. As we saw with the Paris painting, there is no penalty for attempting and solving the clue ahead of time. Furthermore, the Southies started just wildly guessing last week with their cryptex as opposed to finding the boat with the 7 letter name. It seems like a better use of time to me. They don't need to all 3 look for the chamber entrance.On a different note, this show has bad editing. You really can't tell at all what's going on and how long teams have been doing something and how much of a lead they have. Some would say that's a positive because it's suspenseful. However, I think too much misleading/misdirection or too little real information is a turnoff to the viewers. Case in point...it looked like next week we are going to see a "bunch point" in the chamber but it was difficult to tell. My hope is that fairness prevails and the Air Force team wins. I will be left with a really bad taste in my mouth and probably avoid getting caught up in future seasons (if they have any) if another team wins. In my opinion, while I know that the "winner" is the one that comes in first in the final leg, it just seems wrong if that's the only leg you manage to win through the whole season. It almost seems like the favorite stumbled rather than the underdog prevailed.

LAST EDITED ON 08-15-06 AT 08:09 AM (EST)Didn't they show one of those Genworth clues "I seek thy reef" melt into "The key is free". The second quote is simply an anagram of the first. They also mention "the key is right in front of you", but that could just be referring to finding the key on the warehouse in the harbor. This has peaked my interest, trying to figure out this 5-letter solution. I'd say it is an anagram of a logical word like "brave" (land of the free...home of the brave), "stars" (flag related, missing star on McHenry flag)or "scott" (as in Francis Scott Key). Of course, I'd love it if it was something simple like "money". They made it an anagram because you want it to be a relevant word but it would have been a disaster if one of the teams had guessed it while playing with the cryptex before the teams reached the final destination. Of course, I'd love it if it was something simple like "money".
Other guesses??

I'm too snarky for this ganme...If it were my game, the five letter word would be RIGHT. The answer is RIGHT in front of you. But I doubt the creators of this show are that mean.

LAST EDITED ON 08-15-06 AT 12:59 PM (EST)Hey, you could be right! ETA: The reason I think it could be "stars" is that they all have to use the star tokens to get into the chamber, plus the star theme runs throughout the clues. 
Tribe rocked my sig!

LAST EDITED ON 08-15-06 AT 12:36 PM (EST)LAST EDITED ON 08-15-06 AT 12:33 PM (EST) I was thinking of the word "right", as in 'the answer is "right" ..... in front of you'. ETA : oops, sorry Bebo - did not see your post before I did mine. Guess we were thinking along the same lines. Incidentally, what was the point of that repeated camera shot of that blue circular object in the middle of the large glyph?

When I was at the Air Force Academy in the early 80s, they used the LoC filing system on cards. Although I imagine they have long gone to a computerized catalog, I have little doubt they are still using the LoC system. I guess young whippersnappers just have problems with an actual, physical card catalog is all!

I'm just surprised the Geniuses didnt go straight to the card catalog! I really hope either of the other teams just goes straight by. Preferably both...
