The Mole 5.0 *Ongoing Clue Analysis and Challenge Discussions*
breanainneire:
I think I might have just deciphered a big clue. Back in a thread talking about episode 3, someone noticed that while Jon was telling the players at the spa about the clothes mission, a clock in the background suspiciously gave a different time. Slowhatch said: "Also, if you tell players "it's already after 4 o'clock," don't be standing next to a wall clock that shows 2:46 p.m." I decided to check this out for myself, and here's what I found:
The first shot of the clock shows it displaying a time of 14:26 (or 2:26 pm). (Sorry if the pictures aren't very good.)
Later, after a commercial break, the same thing replays, but then there is a closer up shot of Jon with the clock on the right edge of the picture. This time the clock read 14:4... with the last digit slightly obscure. I was able to get a picture that showed enough of the last digit to reveal that it is a 2 (Check it out with a calculator: no other number works with the image). Thus, the time shows 14:42.
After that, there is a wider shot similar to the first that shows a time of 14:26 again. (So the clock never actually says 14:46.) Jon then says that they have reservations for 6:30 and that it is already past 4.
So, the clock, which suspiciously doesn't show the right time, suspiciously jumps forward 16 minutes and then back again in the space of 10 seconds.
Now for the interesting part. I have previously seen people trying to match up groups of numbers found in the show to passages from the Book of Mark from the Bible to see if they're clues that point to Mark as the mole. I decided to do this and looked up Mark 14:42 (the numbers even have the colon in the right spot). Here, Jesus says to his disciples, "Rise! Let us go! Here comes my betrayer!”
If that isn't a clue, I don't know what is.

Ok, couple things that are bugging me about this.
1) Why does the word Mole appear first on the second line? In addition, the word game isnt actually completed either.
2) In the postcard thing, on the first line. If you look, the word kind is spelt wrong (knid), and the word of is rather spaced out compared to the other time the word of appears. Any ideas on that one, or just another goofup?
s1:
From the Mole's Journal - why is it written in all capital letters except for the i's which are lowercase? Also as pointed out above kind is misspelled knid. K'ni'd - whose name does this make you think of - 'Ni'cole maybe. And something that my son pointed out to me early in the game about NICOLE's name. Take the N & I and and put them together and you get an M. Take the C & O and overlap them and you get an O. Combine with the remaining letters and you get MOLE.
Personality wise I don't think of Nicole as the Mole but they could be using reverse psychology this season and making the Mole more noticable (and less likeable) so therefore less suspected. I picked Craig week 1 as the Mole from personality alone. Loveable, easy going, teddy bear type who is overlooked because of his size. He isn't expected to be fast so if he fails a challenge it is attributed to lack of ability not Mole activity. If it is Mark they've done well with his persona. High strung but likeable. Intelligent and highly competitive. Did they burn the Journals just to throw suspicion away from Mark since he was the only one to blow a gasket for fear that taking away his journal would get him eliminated. The Mole has no worries in that department so the situation could have been created to cast doubt if others had been getting too close to guessing Mark as the MOle. The weekly tests give them a good idea of whether or not the Mole's cover is still in place.
The reveal show should be interesting. Can't wait to find out what clues we picked up on correctly, what was misdirection and what totally sailed over our heads completely unnoticed. I don't expect much to fall into that last category. We have great sleuths :tup:
MountainsOutOfMoleHills:
Notice there is an eye in the ink blotch below "Mile?"
Rabbit:
some thoughts regarding the journal entry and most are leading to Nicole for mole (which i was so hoping they wouldn't)
1. the doublets shown....none of them are complete or accurate solutions. The first column would be if you removed the word 'bail'. The others, at first blush, look complete but they're not. Who was the one in the episode who submitted an answer but had a mistake on it? Nicole
2. The doublet at the bottom, however, has "mole...male" glaringly out of place. THis is the only indication that i can see that the mole could be a male. Combine this with the screen cap floating around of a shot of mark exiting his cell with the words "male...mole" over his shoulder and you might have something!
3. The green paint comment limits it to Nicole & Craig.
4. THe mispelled postcard to Paul i believe was just in mockary of his inability to spell.
5. At the bottom of the postcard, however, the mole says "we'll miss you. (sort of)". I'm not sure the exact words Nicole used, but she said something at the end of the episode to the effect of "I'm sort of going to miss him." I'll have to double check but i'm pretty sure she used the word 'sort of'
6. does anyone remember on which side of the child's block the shape pieces were sitting? this would give a good idea as to the Mole's viewpoint. (from video cam side, or from blindfolded side)
7. cool catch on the eye below the doublet. can't figure out what it would mean.
8. The all caps and small i are simply the font. nothing more.
Something Paul said in the episode got me. At the dinner table, he outright said he believes Nicole is NOT the mole, that he had pegged one of the two guys from the beginning. This just seemed so incredibly out there and absolute and Nicole didn't seem to even flinch. At that moment i thought "holy crap! i bet she turns out to be the mole then!" you know, irony of ironies and foreshadowing and all that.
i really hope she isn't though.
