Scientists had opened 6 different crates giving 6 different answer.

|---|---|
Theorized Mixed | RAIN |
Not That Otherside | MERCILESS PREDATOR |
Planting the Flag | HAWKINS |
Shape Shifter | PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD |
Environmental Changes | SAINT PAUL |

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])

|---|---|---|---|
MERCILESS PREDATOR | 08:04.00 | RECKLESS WAIF | MtG Card |
SAINT PAUL | 11:00.00 | MINNEAPOLIS | Twin Cities |

RAIN | 09:06.00 | PAPERBACK WRITER | Beatles LP |
MAYA ANGELOU | 06:10.00 | GEORGE WASHINGTON | Quarter |
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)
| Other Side Answer | Date | Extract |
|---|---|---|
RECKLESS WAIF | 12 5 11 | FLI |
MINNEAPOLIS | 7 6 9 | PAL |
SHORT LINE | 6 5 2 | LTH |
