Fun and dumb. Exactly the kind of mad treasure hunt you want leading up to this thing. I hope they pull the thread a little longer before the official announcement.

R ISO C W U
P .......G I V I
B

The three in the middle have to be ISO. The next can only be a C or G. The beginning can only be R,P,B. The ending is where it becomes ambiguous. It's either a W, I, U V. It most likely will have another vowel so at least one of the letters is an I or U. Pretty stumped unless it's an anagram which would throw a wrench in the whole thing.

It’s not centered in a way that hints one word. It’s a two word title maybe.

Could it also be lower case, numbers or Roman numerals? Also weird that it’s offset to the right. I have to think there’s a digit to the far left yet to be revealed. Wonder if it’ll slowly pan down.

My understanding after speaking with Blair about it was that it was related to the release date.

Who knows, I suspect Blair hasn't said anything because he's been told not to.

He is a loyal subject for sure. Lets hope it gives him a lot of giggles. I suspect it does.

Probably not said anything because we know the release date now and his riddle was shite.

Curious to know how the riddle related to the release date. Any of you gumshoes deciferying every move TOOL makes figure that out yet?

Has anyone ever figured out his riddles? I think he just talks a load of bollox and then as an after thought links it to some random tool news. He's paid by the band to distract the fans and send us on wild goose chases.

Don't think I've ever read a Blair post from start to finish. The man talks nonsense, surprised on how deep some people get trying to analyse his posts

I remember years ago he was suppose to meet some fan in an English pub that followed the bread crumbs but got the wrong one.

Something about bananas.
