Week 15 – End of Week Challenge – Dam Tour

Challenge page : http://www.ancientsocieties.com/dam-tour/

The challenge text says Reflect on that which you know to address this builder’s bunk.

Reflect is interesting here as we can think about something to mirror.
Address also is interesting.
And of course, the previous challenges answers.

RECAP of the previous challenges answers and letters count :

batcave : 7 letters
kerethouse : 10 letters
sutyaginhouse : 13 letters
campbellapartment : 17 letters
kendrickbangskellogg : 20 letters

The picture shows a sort of code with numbers and circles :

If we count the circles and numbers, we get the double than the number of letters of the answers, a 2 digits number counting for 1.

To make the code match the previous answers, we need to double the number of letters of the answers, for example mirroring them.

I will use x for the circles, flip/mirror the words (http://www.upsidedowntext.com/) and match them :

Now, follow the numbers and get the letters :
1 g
2 i
3 r
4 a
5 r
6 d
7 h
8 e
9 n
10 d
11 e
12 r
13 s
14 o
15 n

We get this : girardhenderson

But remember the challenge text, it says Address…

So lets google this Girard Henderson…

We find his underground house and the address of the house :
http://www.viralnova.com/cold-war-house-underground/
3970 Spencer St. near Flamingo Road in Las Vegas

The solution is 3970spencerstr or 3970spencerstreet
