"Masquerade c hint" can also be arranged to read "hint came squared."
I wasn't even going to mention this anagram but I noticed on another board that the hunt was scheduled for 4900 days.
So...is 70 a hint? Any other numbers in the hunt look easy to figure the square root?
Personally, I believe "masquerade c hint" is the correct one.

When taking the numbers to organize the letters in the square, it comes out as: C MASQUERADE INHT (and then the reverse of that, but since IN are together in a square, it is THIN EDAREUQSAM C) And as you said has been taken to suggest 'See Masquerade Hint'... What is the hint in Masquerade? Is it the fact we used the star points to give NORTH (Numbers open riddle treasure hidden) or is it something else? What do you all think? |

Personally, I've never really thought C Masquerade Hint was the answer. Masquerade Hint doesn't make any sense to me. He has said that we don't need the book Masquerade to solve it.
If you're going to use HINT, why wouldn't you use the P and the L? Why wouldn't it be C Masquerade Plinth?
Since the numbers on the magic square lead you to: C Masquerade, then why wouldn't we follow that same system with the rest of the numbers, which would get you:
c masquerade _IN _ _ _ _ _ H _ T _
Maybe the trick is to figure out what goes in the spaces to spell out a sentence.
And maybe we should toss the C out because it corresponds with the number 0. If he wanted us to keep it, why wouldn't C be 1 and M be 2, etc.?
"Hint came squared" is an interesting theory. I think the more letters you have to anagram, the more phrases you can come up with that might be nothing. I read that people were convinced Kit Williams didn't really hide the golden hare because his name anagrammed to I Will Mask It.
But on the other hand, I don't think it's random that the number of days is 4900 and they specifically mention the start and end date in the book.

Wasn't that "hint" in masquerade that when you did the magic squares there it then said No Hint Here (?) I could be remember wrong but often think maybe its a double red herring joke. Unless I'm remembering wrong. Maybe someone can help (?)

You are correct jonsey1. The soccer field 4x4 in Masquerade was a cruel red herring that used periodic numbers that subbed letters for the phrase: False now look again, or something to that effect. And that was created by a man who claimed a 10 year old could have solved his book. #smh |

Ironically, I believe it was a student who figured out the periodic table solution to that 4x4 grid.

Yes, in the Masquerade Solution book published by Kit Williams, he said one of the four letters he received from people that saw the periodic numbers was from a 12 year old girl.
Also, when thinking of Masquerade hints, don't forget the hint in the Sunday times.

I got a wild notion to find the square root of 2020 and got 44.94 or something like that. So I ran to the map and it hits about 35 miles north of the island. I thought I was onto something. |

Kind of like the 1927614 being in the number square intersecting at the 10 / then those same lines in the letter grid = all in a 'name'
...I just wish we could plug it all together once and done. Argh!
