So I was excited about SourceCon challenge #2, as it appears I was a close runner-up to Mike Notaro who won Challenge #1 and I was determined to find the answer to the second challenge.

9 AM PST Monday, July 16th, I was awaiting an e-mail with instructions, and nada, so at 9:05 AM I went to the website and lo and behold I was looking at a real funky-dunky document named X Has Answers that didn’t allow me to copy-paste keywords (grrr). SourceCon folks had mentioned in an e-mail, as a clue, that spelling and grammatical results were intentional. Hmmm. I then proceeded to duly document every single mistake from previous e-mails as well as within the site and the document, thinking I could find some anagram clues of sorts, and was stumped.

Then I focused on finding the Mole, as he/she was supposed to give me a VERY BIG CLUE. Well, that’s always a plus, so from the 6 profiles provided, I was plugging all sort of keyword strings into various search engines, LinkedIn, and again, very stumped. This is all being done while I am working, presenting a lengthy Webinar on how to use LinkedIn to my colleagues in India, etc.

I looked at the X Has Answers document and focused on 2 things:”..they are a big fan of Mark, Jeanna and Tom Baker” and the infamous PI number 3.14159265, plugged “Tom Baker” (most references are to the actor who played Dr. Who) and the PI number to no avail. Along the way I thought I had found the Mole, called many people and they told me, “No, not me!”. Again, stump-age.
