10
+ <p>Solve the clues (most of which are simple trivia, but there are
11
+ some other types):<br>
12
+ </p>
13
+ <ul>
14
+ <li>ALF</li>
15
+ <li>JAMAICA. In November 1997 they qualified for the 1998 World
16
+ Cup, so this was news at the time of this hunt. The only prior
17
+ Caribbean countries in the World Cup were Cuba and Haiti, which
18
+ are not English-speaking countries. It's spelled the same way in
19
+ Spanish, but presumably the (Sp.) is there for the phonetics.<br>
20
+ </li>
21
+ <li>SIOUX is the major tribe in the Dakotas, and the tribes named
22
+ Dakota are likewise part of the Sioux.<br>
23
+ </li>
24
+ <li>NUCH? "quv" is Klingon for honor. Based on the way Klingon
25
+ honor is portrayed in <i>ST:TNG</i>, I found this word for
26
+ "coward". It's pronounced roughly "nooch"<br>
27
+ </li>
28
+ <li>HALLOWED</li>
29
+ <li>PINE (goes before the given words)</li>
30
+ <li>OS (goes after the given words)</li>
31
+ <li>HOUND (<i>The Hound of the Baskervilles</i>, a Sherlock Holmes
32
+ novel, though it's the name of a family, not a place as the clue
33
+ implies)</li>
34
+ <li>?</li>
35
+ <li>ORB (anagram of bro)</li>
36
+ <li>HELL ("Halfway to Hell" is painted at the midpoint of the
37
+ Harvard Bridge next to the smoot distance markings)</li>
38
+ <li>ZOO</li>
39
+ <li>I'LL (Schwarzenegger catchline originally from <i>The
40
+ Terminator</i>)<br>
41
+ </li>
42
+ <li>DEW (Mountain Dew slogan)</li>
43
+ <li>WINNING</li>
44
+ <li>FUR</li>
45
+ <li>SIN (pronounced like "seen" in Spanish)</li>
46
+ <li>CRIB</li>
47
+ <li>?</li>
48
+ </ul>
49
+ <p>Based on the title, this is most likely an Anguish Languish or
50
+ similar phonetic puzzle in which the sequence of answers forms
51
+ another clue phonetically, with many liberties taken in matching
52
+ the phonetics. For instance, the S from OS and all of HOUND
53
+ probably combine to make "SOUND", even though the S makes a Z
54
+ sound in OS.<br>
55
+ </p>
56
+ <p>However this clue works, it's supposed to lead to the answer <b>DECODING</b>.<br>

9
+ This is a T puzzle, as clues by the colors and the words superimposed on the
10
+ rubbings. Each rubbing clues a station a short distance from MIT and the
11
+ rubbing is taken in or near that station.</p>
12
+ <ul>
13
+ <li>The purple-framed rubbing, at the top of the page with the word STATION,
14
+ clues North Station. The top of the plaque has the address
15
+ 164 Canal Street, which is now an empty space between two sports bars.
16
+ In 1999, it was the location of Financial Perspectives Planning Services,
17
+ so the missing letters are AL.</li>
18
+ <li>The orange-framed rubbing, on the left side with the word BAY, clues
19
+ Back Bay station, and is in fact <a href="backbayplaque.jpg">a dedication plaque for the station</a>.
20
+ The last word partly visible is GOVERNOR, and the governor of
21
+ Massachusetts with consecutive KA in his name is Dukakis, who was governor
22
+ in 1987 when this station opened. So the missing letters are DU.</li>
23
+ <li>The red-framed rubbing, the only square shaped one and in the middle of
24
+ the page, clues Central Square. The rubbing is from an inscription on one of the
25
+ cylinders that form the "<a href="http://tech.mit.edu/V116/N21/dreams.21a.html">Multicultural Manifestos</a>"
26
+ artwork that is located there. The inscription on the cylinder has words "...people....different...background...".
27
+ Thus, the missing letters are RE.</li>
28
+ <li>The green-framed rubbing at the bottom of the page, with letters TWNO
29
+ in a square, clues Downtown Crossing (T-O and W-N are crossing). This
30
+ rubbing is from the
31
+ <a HREF="marshplaque.jpg">plaque</a>
32
+ commemorating the Jordan Marsh department store, which sat above Downtown
33
+ Crossing for decades, and in 1996 was bought by Macy's. Note that unlike
34
+ the other ones, Downtown Crossing is not technically on the green line,
35
+ but it is connected by the walkable tunnel to Park Street station.
36
+ The missing letters are SI from "simultaneously".</li>
37
+ </ul>
38
+ <p>Put these together in the order of a possible trip connecting all these
39
+ stations: Red line from Central Square to Downtown Crossing, orange to
40
+ Back Bay, and then back on the orange line to North Station (Back Bay
41
+ is on the commuter rail, but it is on the <i>South Station</i> commuter
42
+ rail, not connected to North Station). Alternatively, just anagram.
43
+ This gives <strong>RESIDUAL</strong>.</p>

+ <em>Archivist's note:</em> The author supplied the following notes with the solution:
70
+ <ol>
71
+ <li> I don't know any Klingon. A coworker of mine at Dragon systems (Mark Mandel) is a linguist who
72
+ has extensive knowledge of Klingon. He translated and dictated the phrases for me. Thanks, Mark.</li>
73
+ <li> This puzzle was a last minute replacement for another puzzle, which basically consisted of people
74
+ saying these same English phrases into Dragon System's NaturallySpeaking speech recognition systems
75
+ in various languages. The solver would be given the output of the speech recognizers. Unfortunately, the
76
+ system uses a lot of word occurrence/co-occurrence knowledge and the results in most cases were not
77
+ phonetically similar enough. Test solving bore this out. Maybe next time...</li>
78
+ <li>An interesting response one team got from a Klingon expert.</li>

+ <em>Archivist's note:</em> The author supplied the following notes with the solution:
70
+ <ol>
71
+ <li> I don't know any Klingon. A coworker of mine at Dragon systems (Mark Mandel) is a linguist who
72
+ has extensive knowledge of Klingon. He translated and dictated the phrases for me. Thanks, Mark.</li>
73
+ <li> This puzzle was a last minute replacement for another puzzle, which basically consisted of people
74
+ saying these same English phrases into Dragon System's NaturallySpeaking speech recognition systems
75
+ in various languages. The solver would be given the output of the speech recognizers. Unfortunately, the
76
+ system uses a lot of word occurrence/co-occurrence knowledge and the results in most cases were not
77
+ phonetically similar enough. Test solving bore this out. Maybe next time...</li>
78
+ <li>An interesting response one team got from a Klingon expert.</li>

+ Weekend Edition is an NPR program that airs on Saturday and Sunday mornings. The Sunday program is hosted by Liane Hansen and airs in Boston on WBUR (90.9 FM) at 8:00. One regular segment on the program features 'puzzle master' Will Shortz (the New York Times crossword puzzle editor), which always airs about 40 minutes into the show. One piece of his segment involves posing word puzzles to a
16

17

18
+
19
+ <blockquote>
20
+ <p>
21
+ "I'm going to give you 2 rhyming words. You give a 3rd word that can follow each of mine to complete a compound word or familiar 2-word phrase. For example, if I said "Wish" and "Fish," you'd say BONE (as in Wishbone and fishbone)."

+ <p>The magical thing you're supposed to realise, after futzing with it for a long time, is that *all of these things have something in common*, which is to say, each of these can be taken as a word-association thingie for a phrase either starring the word "Carmen" or "Sandiego". (Hence, the theme of this puzzle
10
+ matches the theme of the hunt.)</p>
11
+ <p>
12
+ <ul>
13
+ <li>baseball: San Diego Padres. [You probably had to realise the "Carmen/Sandiego" link before you would have figured this one out.]</li>
14
+ <li>duck boats: Boston Common. [Pronounced in a proper Bostonian accent, of course.]</li>
15
+ <li>fruit: Carmen Miranda. [Doesn't she wear fruit on her head?]</li>
16
+ <li>hooked the worm: Carmen Electra. [A few months ago, she married Dennis Rodman in Las Vegas to much controversy. Rodman's lawyer claimed that he was drunk at the time. Yeesh! On http://headlines.yahoo.com/Full_Coverage/Sports/Dennis_Rodman/, Rodman is already twice referred to as the "Worm". And I swear there were all sorts of headlines about Carmen Electra hooking the worm in Las Vegas. *sigh*]</li>
17
+ <li>Marc Tanner: Santiago, Chile. [A bit tricky, but you might have recalled reading about Marc on http://web.mit.edu/puzzle/www/acme.html. He's listed as "Marc 'Glad it's not so Chile out anymore' Tanner".]</li>
18
+ <li>roller hockey international: San Diego Barracudas. [This one was kinda like "baseball", but a simple Yahoo! search on "Carmen" and "San Diego" or "Sandiego" would have yielded all of these.]</li>
19
+ <li>Aztecs: San Diego State. [The San Diego State mascot is (are?) the Aztecs.]</li>
20
+ <li>cheesey-poofs: Eric Cartman. [Being myself not a viewer of South Park, I have no idea what this means, but Various People insisted Eric Cartman would be identifiable by "cheesey-poofs".]</li>
21
+ </ul>
22
+ </p>
23
+
24
+ <p>What next? Well, remove all the Carmens and Sandiegos. You're left with a bunch of words and those numbers on the puzzle; ie,<p>
25
+ <p>
26
+ <ul style="list-style-type:none;">
27
+ <li>Padres (4)</li>
28
+ <li>Boston (4)</li>
29
+ <li>Miranda (5)</li>
30
+ <li>Electra (5)</li>
31
+ <li>Chile (3)</li>
32
+ <li>Barracudas (2)</li>
33
+ <li>State (5)</li>
34
+ <li>Eric (4)</li>
35
+ </ul>
36
+ </p>
37
+ <P>That's just a simple "take the nth letter of the word" -- so you get R T N T I A E C which, if properly reassembled, spells the answer: <strong>INTERACT</strong>.</p>

+ <p>What next? Well, remove all the Carmens and Sandiegos. You're left with a bunch of words and those numbers on the puzzle; ie,<p>

26

27
+ <li>Padres (4)</li>
28
+ <li>Boston (4)</li>
29

34

35

36

37
+ <P>That's just a simple "take the nth letter of the word" -- so you get R T N T I A E C which, if properly reassembled, spells the answer: <strong>INTERACT</strong>.</p>
