Top phrase is a reply, CWed.

Clues have "top-level" replies, with pictures of the unsolved Clue, not CWed.

Replies to those incl pictures of the clue results, CWed.

Create hashtag filters using #GlobalTalk, #ScavengerHunt, #Solved, #Unsolved hashtags.

Please use the hashtags in replies, and CW your conjectures, solutions, etc.

This allows people to solve themselves, or get hints as they choose.

I will link to other relevant posts, and update Solved/Unsolved statuses and header post.

Euler–Mascheroni constant! :euler:

In fact, the last one is:
1+dx (1x1x)=γ0.5772156649

Equivalently,
limn(k=1n1klnn)=γ=0.5772156649

Unsolved problem in mathematics:
Is Euler–Mascheroni constant irrational? If so, is it transcendental?

If these *are* really distorted letters, with the design constraints for the letterform as follows:
1. all characters have a fixed unbroken circle exterior
2. use the bare minimum of marks to convey meaning
3. use filled circles to convey negative space

then you'd land on a typeface like this:

sometimes the wonders of #life can be felt particularly strongly! we take our ability to control our #movement for granted so often... when you think about it, our ability to coordinate our thoughts and actions, integrate our perceptions, effortlessly choreograph and implement complex sequences, involving many degrees of freedom, is nothing short of incredible. how do our #brains subconsciously pick which path to take, to go from initial to final states? an #unsolved #biomechanical problem

#BreakingNews
#JamesLewis, the primary suspect in the infamous #TylenolMurders of 1982, has died in Boston at the age of 76.

The #Tylenol case changed almost every product on store shelves. It's the reason you have so many layers of protection and #childproofing on many OTC products.

Seven people died and the city of #Chicago was gripped with fear. Halloween was cancelled for children throughout the entire city and some of the suburbs.

The deaths of three people in the same home was the clue that connected the seemingly random poisonings to Tylenol products, several bottles of which had been tampered with and put back on the store shelves.

The case is still #Unsolved, but Lewis has become the primary suspect-- mostly because he attempted to blackmail manufacturer #JohnsonAndJohnson for $1M, but also for his dark criminal past.

This #CBS #ChicagoNews video, from several months ago, takes a look back at the case.
