# Otherside Meta

*The seventh crate has a complicated control panel and a list of timestamps. How do you open it?*

***08:04.00 December 5, 2011***

***11:00.00 July 6, 2009***

***05:04.00 June 5, 2002***

***03:06.04 September 6, 2012***

***09:06.00 December 13, 2008***

***06:10.00 October 2, 2009***

Scientists had opened 6 different crates giving 6 different answer.

| Puzzle                | Answer                |
| --------------------- | --------------------- |
| Theorized Mixed       | RAIN                  |
| Not That Otherside    | MERCILESS PREDATOR    |
| Planting the Flag     | HAWKINS               |
| Shape Shifter         | PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD |
| Environmental Changes | SAINT PAUL            |
| Crossing the Road     | MAYA ANGELOU          |

Using the title of "*Otherside*" as a clue, each of these previous 6 answers have an "*other side*" to them.  The timestamps in the 6 given dates are a clue to the length of the answers needed from the other side answers. (ex: 08:04.00 means the final answer length is \[8 4])

<table><thead><tr><th width="254">Original Answer</th><th width="105" align="center">Time</th><th>Other Side Answer</th><th>Reason</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>MERCILESS PREDATOR</td><td align="center">08:04.00</td><td>RECKLESS WAIF</td><td>MtG Card</td></tr><tr><td>SAINT PAUL</td><td align="center">11:00.00</td><td>MINNEAPOLIS</td><td>Twin Cities</td></tr><tr><td>PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD</td><td align="center">05:04.00</td><td>SHORT LINE</td><td>Monopoly</td></tr><tr><td>HAWKINS</td><td align="center">03:06.04</td><td>THE UPSIDE DOWN</td><td>Stranger Things</td></tr><tr><td>RAIN</td><td align="center">09:06.00</td><td>PAPERBACK WRITER</td><td>Beatles LP</td></tr><tr><td>MAYA ANGELOU</td><td align="center">06:10.00</td><td>GEORGE WASHINGTON</td><td>Quarter</td></tr></tbody></table>

Next, the date for each can be turned into a set of 3 numbers and used as extract value for these "*other side*" answers. (ex: December 5, 2011 can be converted to 12-5-11, indicating ot extract those letters from the otherside answer)

<table><thead><tr><th width="287.3333333333333">Other Side Answer</th><th align="center">Date</th><th align="center">Extract</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>RECKLESS WAIF</td><td align="center">12 5 11</td><td align="center">FLI</td></tr><tr><td>MINNEAPOLIS</td><td align="center">7 6 9</td><td align="center">PAL</td></tr><tr><td>SHORT LINE</td><td align="center">6 5 2</td><td align="center">LTH</td></tr><tr><td>THE UPSIDE DOWN</td><td align="center">9 6 12</td><td align="center">ESW</td></tr><tr><td>PAPERBACK WRITER</td><td align="center">12 13 8</td><td align="center">ITC</td></tr><tr><td>GEORGE WASHINGTON</td><td align="center">10 2 9</td><td align="center">HES</td></tr></tbody></table>

Reading the extracted letters gives the final answer of **FLIP ALL THE SWITCHES**.
