CLUE 2 Cont. - Summary Included

"Good work, nerdfighters. Now for your clue: the next piece of the puzzle is two letters. Those two letters mean bright, but stupid."

We guessed these (posts 1-9)
AB AI AU BI CP DB EE ER ID IE IL IQ IS IT ME NP PC PU QT TI VP YS

Then John said on p. 9: "You haven't gotten it yet (and it doesn't start with I, or with B). Bright but stupid. Two letters. -John"

So we guessed (posts 10-39):
AE AF AH AM AO AT CD DE EH ER FE FL GE GW HA HE HK HS HU KA LM LV LW LX MJ MM MO MS MU NE NO OI OW OX OY PI PT SS TA TP TV UM US UV WO WWII XD XY YA YO

So John said on p. 39: " I haven't read through all the comments, but I still don't think it has been named. It isn't ad or me or re or oh ho or om or oz (and it doesn't directly relate to the B in any way, so that train of thought should be abandoned). It's a _thing_ that is bright but stupid, if that helps. Best wishes!
John"

Then John said, "It's in that long second list. Bright but stupid. And it's a thing. And it's a very very common abbreviation. (And I think you are failing to take bright literally enough.)
Thanks for the summary and sorry I didn't read more closely, but Iceland is time-consuming! -John"

Thanks John!

As of post 30 most of us agree that it is TV, but do not know if that is the end of the clue or if we have to then take that further (or is it farther?).

As of post 57 we are all officially insane! YAY We keep coming back to TV, but have no idea what to do with it. We are not even positive that is the right answer.

Also, some people have been using AIM chat to discuss the scavenger hunt. http://tinyurl.com/55opf4

And right when we thought it was hopeless we got our confirmation!

"TV is correct. :)

your clues so far (they shouldn't make much sense) are b and tv.

look for a new clue soon from my old hometown..."

Thanks to Stephanie and Catieco. DFTBA

I don't really think they mean anything, I didn't find anything of significance. I just thought it was worth a try...that and I like the image, it was the first thing that came up and it made me kinda happy >.< sorry...I lose my train of thought pretty often.

Permalink Reply by Carolyne on August 22, 2008 at 3:19pm: I wonder why that picture popped up when you googled "nerdfighter TV"...

Permalink Reply by Megan on August 23, 2008 at 10:04am: I know the answer to that... I must have posted that tshirt link from my blog post and one of the tags was TV. I mentioned a commercial so I tagged "TV".

Hehe - that's really funny!!!

Permalink Reply by Adam J. M. Eagleton on August 22, 2008 at 3:17pm: Could be, but what do we do with that?

Permalink Reply by xxReptar on August 22, 2008 at 3:19pm: Do Hank and/or John have a BlogTV account?

Permalink Reply by Adam J. M. Eagleton on August 22, 2008 at 3:20pm: Didn't they use Alan's when they did the chats?

Permalink Reply by Tree-saw on August 22, 2008 at 3:20pm: They've done live shows, but I believe they were on Alan's (FallOfAutumnDistro) account.
