Hank walks John and viewers through every scavenger hunt clue solved so far, from a dollar bill at an Indianapolis Subway to an email from hidden at Brotherhood2.com, and teases a new internet-only clue.

What is said

00:00:00 — Not an important day; Hank's kitty; scavenger hunt recap begins: clue one at an Indianapolis Subway, clue two under a rock in Englewood, Florida

  • ★ Hank says today is not an important day after all and he doesn't know what to talk about, but he has a transfixed kitty. (playful) — 00:00:10
  • ★★★ Hank recaps the scavenger hunt so far, saying he can do it concisely only thanks to a forum member's hard work on the forum ('my pants'). — 00:00:10 · Nerdfighter Scavenger Hunt, Brotherhood 2.0 forum
  • ★★ Clue one: John hid a dollar bill with words on it at a Subway in Indianapolis; the words were all anagrams of 'the first of many'. — 00:00:10 · John Green, Indianapolis
  • ★★ Clue two was under a rock in Englewood, Florida; Hank thanks the person who drove a very long way to retrieve it. — 00:00:10

00:00:54 — Clues via Hank's four-part harmony video, NeverFTBA's video of the Yeti and a hotel soda machine, Hank's five anagrams leading to a Seattle statue, and 'barf event'

  • ★★ Nerdfighters anagrammed a phrase on the dollar bill to 'four-part harmony', leading them to Hank's video singing 'Will You Miss Me When I'm Gone From Your Pants' with three friends. — 00:00:54 · Nerdfighteria, in your pants
  • ★★ A comment on that video from NeverFTBA led to a video of the Yeti describing where the next clue was: on a soda machine on a hotel's ninth floor, where someone found it. — 00:00:54 · Sarah Urist Green
  • ★★ Five anagrams in one of Hank's videos led Seattle nerdfighters to a dollar bill under the shoulder of a statue of a sleeping homeless man, bearing only the phrase 'barf event'. — 00:01:24 · Seattle
  • ★★ Rather than anagramming 'barf event', nerdfighters went to youtube.com/barfevent and found binary code that decodes to an anagram of 'because he had class'. — 00:01:24 · YouTube

00:01:53 — Binary anagram, clue six, a DHL box in Santa Monica, a Blogspot blog, '24.1.2.19' and The Second Coming at a Chicago Borders, the 366 equation, the hidden@Brotherhood2.com email; the next clue is internet-only

  • ★★ Hank says clue six is too complicated to explain here; it led nerdfighters to a clue taped under a DHL box in Santa Monica, which pointed to a Blogspot blog. — 00:01:53
  • ★★ The blog's clue '24.1.2.19' pointed to John discussing Walker Percy's The Second Coming in a January Brotherhood 2.0 video; nerdfighters found a dollar bill in that book at a Chicago Borders. — 00:02:22 · Chicago, Brotherhood 2.0
  • ★★ The dollar bill found in the book carried a hard mathematical equation whose solution is 366; Hank leaves open what that means. — 00:02:51
  • ★★ The latest clue: a forum post titled 'The Clue is Hidden at Brotherhood2.com' led nerdfighters to email that address and receive a scanned dollar bill with an anagram. — 00:02:51 · Brotherhood 2.0 forum
  • ★★ Hank says the next clue is another internet-only clue that everybody can start looking for now, but does not say where it is. — 00:02:51
