Good work.

First, let's bring any new Nerdfighting scavengers up to date:

The Brotherhood 2.0 scavenger hunt began with a dollar bill hidden outside a Subway restaurant in Indianapolis with a message that anagrammed to "The First of Many."

The next clue was hidden on a beach in Englewood, Florida. Also a dollar bill, the message this time anagrammed to "The Four-Part Harmony." Clever nerdfighters figured out this was a reference to the "Will You Miss Me When I'm Gone (From Your Pants)" video that Hank made. When they visited the youtube page for this video, they found a comment from a user named "neverftba." click on that user's profile, and lo and behold there's a video shot in Oak Brook, IL detailing the location of a clue.

That clue turned out to anagram to "Why do we adore Ze?" In john's next video, he buried in the video info a note saying that the answer to why we adore Ze could be found in a poem he quoted: "Has anyone supposed it is lucky to born? / I hasten to tell him or her it is just as lucky to die and I know it." The Nerdfighters then began a lengthy discussion about the end of Brotherhood 2.0 and the relative merits of ending something abruptly, and whether or not we love things that have a built-in end date BECAUSE they have a built-in end date. We hope this discussion continues and becomes even more lively.

The following day, Hank posted a series of anagrams that led to a sleeping sculpture in a Seattle neighborhood. The clue there was "BARF EVENT," and Nerdfighters eventually went to http://www.youtube.com/barfevent, where they found a series of 1's and 0's. The 1's and 0's turned out to be a nonsense English phrase when translated from binary. Anagrammed, the phrase became, "Because he had class."

And now this: Think Denver. But not Denver; the one by the Water Tower. That's not adequately specific, of course, but this is: 24.1.2.19.
