Alright, with the assumption that this free ISIS is still valid even though it does not appear under free searches anymore I will tell my story and theories from my third visit today. Since it seems everyone including me has searched every nook and cranny on NTAS, the coin seems most likely to be outside and you must use the periscopes to find them. This leads to two theories. This first theory/idea is not mine and came from ScottyBot on this forum. His suggestion is that the rainbow looking object refers to the prism inside the periscope as submarine periscopes use an assortment of lenses, mirrors, and prisms to work. Since as a kid you would use prisms to see rainbows this seemed like a plausible idea. This would mean that when looking through the periscope you would be looking for something Zigzagged within the scopes range. Unfortunately, there weren't many zigzagged items within view. There was only three that I could identify, one was the pattern on the trim of a bus shelterwhich is located right in front of the museum. The second was some angled parking spaces that you could barely see behind the museum, but the area was covered with deep snow that I couldn't dig through. The last place was the truss bridge of the oil rig looking platform in the lake. I'm not fit enough to swim the many miles to that to take a look :lol: . The other two places were checked out and there was nothing. This failure led me to my theory that the fact that it says eye spy instead of I spy means you are supposed to be looking through the periscope when searching for arrows as it is the only reason you'd need one eye to play the game. This became problematic though as there were at least 25 arrows within view of the periscope all pointing different directions. This included one way signs, parking this direction signs, turn only lane arrows painted on the street and stoplight arrows for turn lanes. Unfortunately, after examining each of the directions the arrows pointed, none of them showed me something that could represent the "Rainbow looking object". I looked for both semi circles and colors and didn't come across anything that I could for sure say thats what its referring too. I believe that the zigzags cannot be seen through the periscope and can only be seen when your standing by the rainbow object outside. The reason I think this is because if my theory is correct and you have to use the arrows outside to find the rainbow looking object, those clues would be pointless if you could also see the zigzag from the periscope b/c then you'd just look for that and forget about the rainbow object. Anyways, I went and explored anything that might represent a rainbow looking object including a red/yellow/blue slide in the kids park across the street that had a staircase to the top. There was another park within view but it belonged to a daycare and was fenced off so I couldn't check that one out. There was a square building across the street that had archway openings all around it, but I couldn't find anything that might be a zigzag although the entire thing was made out of different shaped bricks. I even tried looking for zigzags near stoplights as those were multicolored and around the flags out in front of the museum but still nothing. I even checked the Museum steps even though you couldn't see them through the periscopes. (Fyi, you don't use the Museum steps to get into the museum, you enter through a little tiny building out by the drop off point that takes you underground to get in) If you want to see more about what I'm talking about, go to maps.live.com and search for the museum and zoom in and change to birds eye view. It give you a pretty good look at the area with a decent amount of detail. I took a video of what the periscope could see, but it's extremely hard to take a video through a periscope so its not the best thing in the world, but I'll use it to show the areas that are visible by the periscope for those that are interested. But yea, I think I'm done looking for now until it warms up and the snow disappears as its a little to cold or if we get another hint. If anyone else has any theories on what the rainbow looking object could be or zigzags, be sure to share them and maybe we can solve this riddle once and for all. I feel like this coin has become the holy grail or something and while I'm searching for it I should be galloping around clapping my coconut halves together. :lol:

apparently tsi is going out of bus due to bankruptcy so im guessing thats why they took them off the site, but maybe sw is finding a new company to take over isis and thats why puzz has been MIA from these forums for the past couple weeks.

Lets see some pictures of these zig-zags, and places your looking. Then maybe I will offer an extra clue if someone is close.

Alright, I've listed some of the places I've looked at my photobucket below. There's descriptions of what I searched specifically at each location. (These are aerial views because one, I don't currently have the cable for my camera to get my pictures off, and two, I want to force new people starting out on this riddle to have to do some research on their own by not providing up close pictures). It is also for this reason that I decided to take down my map showing the visible areas through the periscope, because I do need to make sure that I have my own leg up on the competition, lol :lol:

This page has been quiet for a while. Any other theories? the weather is supposed to be nice in Chicago tomorrow so I'm going to search for a few hours on my way up to Milwaukee. I have one new theory to check out which I'll let you know about it once I get back and if it was successful.

I thought that everyone had established that it was Chicago already.

From JTobcat's earlier description I can guarantee that they have been within feet of the Isis (coin).

Happy hunting!!
