All,<\/p>\n

I found a cryptic note in Bruce\u2019s office. I think he has been hiding clues in his blog posts this whole time. Can you help me crack this code before he returns?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what I\u2019ve figured out so far:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. This goes all the way back to the beginning. Start by opening Bruce\u2019s first blog post<\/a> from January 13, 2017. Apply Clue #1 to that blog post to find a year, month, and date of another blog post. I repeat: you are looking for a year, a month, and a date.<\/li>\n
  2. You then navigate to the next post by typing in this web address: https:\/\/blog.piercecountywa.gov\/executive\/yyyy\/mm\/dd<\/a> with the correct year, month, and date substituted in. For example, if the clue leads you to January 13, 2017, you will enter https:\/\/blog.piercecountywa.gov\/executive\/2017\/01\/13<\/a> into your internet browser. You can also navigate there by using the blog archives on the right side of this page<\/a> (but it\u2019s less satisfying that way).<\/li>\n
  3. Repeat the process of applying clues to find another blog post until you get to Clue #4. You will apply Clue #4 and information in that blog post to solve the code.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Here are the clues:<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    Clue #1:<\/strong> The Lakewood event was \u201cA Day to Remember,\u201d even three years later!<\/p>\n

    Clue #2:<\/strong> I love the study, but the acronym makes me \u201cill.\u201d The number of letters in the judge\u2019s first and last name will lead you to the day. The missing \u201cley\u201d is the key!
    \nhttps:\/\/blog.piercecountywa.gov\/executive\/2022<\/strong>\/mm\/dd<\/p>\n

    Clue #3:<\/strong> The career fair was incredible! With 20\/20 vision, perhaps you\u2019ll spot some drones. But even a guy like me can see the number of human traffic cones (month). We had lots of tables for the day; add ten to the number you see.<\/p>\n

    Clue #4:<\/strong> P.S., Luke\u2019s phone number will get you more than just donuts. Add each of his digits to the code to get the right value<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    Key Code<\/strong>
    \n\"\"<\/p>\n

    If you solve the mystery (or want some help), click here<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and tell me what you found (or where you are stuck). Good luck!<\/p>\n
