Tackle Repositorys

[cvader]

I figure I'd start a new topic instead of burying everything together. I also figure since I live in Maryland and can't participate I may as well put my thoughts out there. If my thoughts lead to the treasure though you may not want to admit it or you'll get disqualified probably. Just let me know secretly

Here are my thoughts on Tackle Repositorys
First I noticed that the second word is usually spelled repositories with an ies (for plural). Could this mean something? Mispellings and extra letters seem to keep coming up.

Here's what I thought of for Tackle Repositorys.
A fishing tackle shop.
A tackle box. Maybe there's a fishing tackle shop with a giant tackle box or something containing the token.

Tackle is also used to refer to rigging of a ship (i.e., ropes) so this could mean a place where ships ropes, lines etc are stored.
Also in line with ship's rigging: Repository can also refer to a vault (or tomb). My first thought was Davey Jone's Locker which is used to refer to the bottom of the ocean when ships sink and seamen die. But since the tokens are easily accessible maybe there is a place (like a tourist attraction) referred to as Davey Jones' Locker.

And finally tackle can refer to a position in football. Is there a room or wing in the football hall of fame that is dedicated to the tackle position? Isn't the museum in Ohio? Didn't someone mention Ohio as a possible location?

Whew!

Just so you know, it probably wouldn't be reffering to a tourist attraction or a place in a hall of fame at a musuem because aren't those both privately owned?

A Tackle Repository is a box

There are two (2) interesting anagrams that are spelled from "Hint: Tackle repositorys."

This guy has photos and claims to have solved the puzzle in complete detail? Can someone check it out
and see what they think? I havent heard anything on the news. Debbi

This is fraud. If you read his post under "Yorah is an Anagram," I believe, but it may be under the 5 sided thread, but whichever, he posts again and says that he was only kidding and that he wanted to see everyon's reaction. He leaves out all the trashing of the book though. I thought it was pretty dirty myself and don't like it when people blatently lie at legnth, and then of course I read it and then get fumed. Needless to say I don't think very highly at the poster of that crap.

Mike Stadther posted this on the forum at his site. Tackle repositorys' yields:

Crystal Pook is Thirteen.


The Solution to the January 20th, 2004 Clue:

Hint: Tackle repositorys.

Solution:

The first step to solve the clue is to realize that it may be an anagram. This is hinted at by the misspelling of 'repositories'.

The next step is to figure out what to anagram. If you tried just to anagram 'Tackle repositorys', you probably didn't get many meaningful results. However, if you noticed that the whole line was called a clue, then you should include the word 'Hint' in your anagram.

A few tries at anagraming 'Hint: Tackle repositorys' yields:

Crystal Pook is Thirteen.

This is further supported by a clue hidden in the book, A Treasures Trove, which says 'There are thirteen'. (I will not tell you where this clue is hidden for now.)

So, yes, there is a 13th Crystal Pook jewel and it is made from a single hand carved piece of rock crystal with gold and enamel wings.

Crystal Pook is kept at Jewelry Designs and does not travel with the jewels to the various venues because his crystal tail is too fragile and could break during transit.

Happy hunting!

[Mr_Fiver]

it also turns into 'cipher key start in tools' which is interesting because tackle can mean tools and on the page with all the woodworking tools there is an oak leaf with the roman numerals 3 2 2 on it which just happens to be the prime factorization of 12. maybe I'm crazy, but I think the key we seek is there.

 

[LitDoc]

Could you tell us specifically the key to (what) is on the tools page. Thanks!
