Search for Bourne—Day 7
July 24th, 2007
Here’s a complete spoiler for today’s Ultimate Search for Bourne challenge. (So if you don’t want to be spoiled, please do skip this post.)
Today’s mission briefing tells us that Nicky’s left Tangier, and that Treadstone All Lies, the solution to yesterday’s puzzle, is all we have to go on to figure out where he is. If that were all we knew, this might be a challenging puzzle, but the mission briefing also tells us exactly what to do.
It suggests we use the passphrase to search for websistes, images, or videos. A plain Google search turns up nothing (though that won’t stay true as people post solutions), but a Google Image search pops up three copies (one in English, one in French, and one in German) of the Dater Notes Newsletter. This is an image file, so at last we have another reason to use the Decryption panel on the Search for Bourne web site.
I put the URL for the English version (http://www.daternotes.com/newsletter/newsletter.gif) in the Decryption panel, and Filter B revealed the word “London” hidden in the eyebrow of the laughing woman in the newsletter’s picture. (I tried the French and German images, too, but didn’t get any result. The application accepted the URL, but the three filter buttons weren’t hot. Either they only work for French and German versions of the game, or you only get to process one image.)
So if you want to be completely spoiled and have the immediate answer, just hit the Submit button in the communication panel and transmit London as you’re answer, and you’ve solved the challenge.
After submitting, I was rewarded with a video of the man from the very first video, offering a quick word of congratulations: “Well done in Tangier. Now see what you can dig up in London.” I’m not sure if this is meant to be a clue to camera placement. If so, I don’t see how, so my camera placements today were as random as they’ve ever been.

Day #7 is more simple than the last 3 days no ?

Yes, I agree.
I suppose they put this up to give people a chance to use the image processor (which hasn’t been used since day one).

They probably did that on purpose. Not using the filter for days then using it. Of course it wasn’t the first thing I thought of when I saw the DaterNotes website because the stupid thing hadn’t worked so far.

Hey! I’m brazilian, and I’ve been playing the game as weel (but, unfortunately, i cant play for prizes). The game is quite easy so far, and, as you said in newer post, it has potential. I was checking for posts about the game (cause i’ve had post about the game im my blog), and read yours. See, about the pic, i’ve used the link with the german pic, and it worked just fine. I think after you have scanned one image, the image scanner is disabled for the others.
Your journal is very nice. Hope you get some prize! See ya

Thanks, Juliano. I had a suspicion the image processor might work just one time, but it’s nice to get this confirmation.
Sorry you can’t win any prizes, but good luck anyway! Let me know your total “Sightings” count when you finish.
