I think I may have discovered Swarfiga's hidden identity:
- Using the number corresponding with each letter's position in the alphabet, the name 'Swarfiga' (19 + 23 + 1 + 18 + 6 + 9 + 7 + 1) coupled with the three digits that his post count will contain after replying to this (6 + 7 + 6) comes to a total of 103
- The 103rd link on Google's list of links following my search brought up this page:
http://www.interpals.net/Swarfiga?&u...city%3D2972315
- The name 'Swarfiga' contains 8 letters. After dropping the profile's image into the Google Images search box, the 8th image brought me to a Youtube account with a single video uploaded, which has accumulated 38 views
- Upon my second Google search of 'Swarfiga', the 38th link brought me to this Facebook profile:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Swarfiga/309427025789092
- Contained within the profile pictures of this particular profile was a picture with the white text 'DO YOU DIG SWARFIGA?' mounted on a black background
- There is a single comment which says 'i do. hallelujah I'm a believer!' This would lead one to believe that Swarfiga must be some sort of deity, but I quickly disregarded this notion after several minutes of laughter
- The date on which the comment was posted led to further speculation. The 31st March this year brings us to the number
38 (31 + 3 + 2 + 0 + 1 + 2). Coincidence? I think not
- My only option was to Google search 'Swarfiga' followed by our clue number 38 - The search for 'Swarfiga 38' brought me to this link:
http://www.mp3lyrics.org/0-9/38-special/hearts/
- The 38th word in these song's lyrics was 'freedom', which, going by the alphabet position method, produces the number 66 (6 + 18 + 5 + 5 + 4 + 15 + 13 = 66)
- 103 - 66 = 37, which momentarily left me at a dead end. But after noticing the name of the band - .38 Special - I decided that a Youtube search of the band's name might yield a more fruitful set of results
- And fruitful they were! The 37th video (
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sBjJBsXK9Q) has 5,573 views and a total of 17 likes and dislikes: 5 + 5 + 7 + 3 + 17 =
37
- My mind racing, I frantically added together these three key numbers: 37 + 38 + 103 = 178, and 1 + 7 + 8 = 16. I immediately clicked on Swarfiga's profile and was met with my answer:
I knew what I had to do.
Barely containing myself, I Google Image searched 'Swarfiga' and clicked on the 16th image result. Closing the image took me to the website from which the picture was taken, and I was met with the true identity of Swarfiga...
Check everything for yourselves, the truth is out there...
You just have to
look.
