This is peak unhinged booknerd behaviour… and I’m here for it

[YesUkeCan]

Sherlock's hat... The smell of cucumber... The culprit, you ask?
Benedict Cucumberbatch.
And case solved.

[zuhraa]

Everyday Jack does something unhinged, and everyday I watch it religiously.

Why this book does not come with tear-out pages like a notebook is beyond me

[adrianoines]

giving the same vibe as the guy that made a whole murder board about Pretty Little Liars and made 6 hours worth of content with it.

this is absolutely unhinged, please make more content like this.

I just looked at the wikipedia page and the last person who solved it took 6 months during the first covid lockdown. So good luck Jack 😂

[natalieann]

the fact that this book still holds up even in the digital age is insane

[emmaj]

9 months later and we’re still waiting for a part 2, which i assume either means jack gave up or he’s still working it out… best of luck

“i have more theories than than taylor swift fans trying to find easter eggs” THOSE BETTER BE A LOT MR. EDWARDS

[cyndrift]

I'm genuinely curious how long it took to create this book. Like there's so many allusions and I cannot imagine how long it took to make a puzzle like that in the 1930s that took someone with google six uninterrupted months to solve. That's honestly insane.

[last_flower.]

my idea of solving it: Jack hires a number of people equivalent to the number of pages, everyone learns their one page by heart with all the references. And then they start a brainstorm that leads to the end of the world

[marybritneya.atillo]

Summarize each page in 2-3 sentences. It helps you gets the gist of the story better I think.
Oh, and 6 murderers and 6 victims right? Isn't it possible that the murderers could be victims themselves?
Note every person, date, place too!
Oh, and also repeating words that seem to have relevance in the story!

15:37 "someone out there is watching me and they're very concerned"

Yes, Jack, all 847k of us are very concerned for you.

“ The first time I opened the box, I swiftly concluded that it was way out of my league, and the only way I’d even have a shot at it was if I were for some bizarre reason trapped in my own home for months on end, with nowhere to go and no one to see. Unfortunately, the universe heard me.” - John Finnemore

John Finnemore’s the third person to have solved the puzzle and he did it in 2020 at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic😆

[Mo-sbps]

Jack, I'm sorry, this is the only video I will not finish. Mainly because you've piqued my interest and now I want a go at it! (curse finals season, now I want to solve book murders!)

[ishikasingh]

I might sound crazy but this sounds like an AMAZING bonding activity with friends
Where do I find such unhinged peers is the real question.

[mugeshakir]

Ugh... You know when an episode of a TV series ends in a very shocking way and you have no idea how you are going to wait a whole week for the next episode. That is how I feel at the moment Jack, cheers for that :D

[flaviacantspeak]

“Add up to a hundred… no they don’t” 💀 why does this man describe every humanities student ever

[caratlandsasukeechan]

I would honestly love to do this. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to solve it with this brain of mine but at least I can tell other people that I’m solving a murder case from 1936. Thanks jack for introducing me to this book cause I’m buying this rn.

[ashleyarticulates]

You’ve got five months left. We need a part 2, Jack!
