File name SEMANTIKOS from hex.
The Theta is similar to an Egyptian symbol that represents the Sun, and the Mu was derived from the Egyptian hieroglyphic symbol for water. So the Sun equals Ra...and the water equals Naunet? Or maybe Poseidon? When combined this "watcher" symbol establishes that the Order rules and watches over all that exists in between.
Theta is the 8th letter, Mu is the 12th. So that's one more 12, but the 8 = ?.
Theta was also used as an abbreviation for "Thanatos," and considered a warning of death.

Stratemeyer 5/7/6? Damnation, why must it always seem so obvious in retrospect? I tried 576 after a bunch of things too. BLEAGH.
Kickass job guys.

Just a note to mods or ops looking at this thread: it's getting rather long, so maybe once someone has posted the failed pws, you could delete their posts or something? to help consolidate?
And now...my book report! I was assigned The Secret of the Old Clock.
Pertinent passages I found were:
| Quote: | | Her parents were killed in a boat accident 3 years ago. (5) |
- There are several references to Nancy following tire marks to catch a van of thieves, first on page 11 and then again on page 123.
A description of the clock. SPOILER!
| Quote: | | tall, with a square face [...] Only Josiah's was fancier. Had some kind of moon on top. (80) |
This is unimportant, but I figured i'd make note of it anyway. The word 'subtle' appears twice in NDI and not all all in NDVII.
| Quote: | After Nancy purchases charity tickets to do some sleuthing...
"I must be subtle in this maneuver to keep from arousing the Tophams suspicions." (82) |
| Quote: | | It might be better to do her sleuthing more subtly." (40) |
Nilla mentioned this, but I figured I'd post the quote. Nancy is trapped in a closet and after failing to unlock it with her bobby pins, she tries to lever it open. | Quote: | | That old Greek scientist, Archimedes, didn't know whwat he was talking about when he said the world could be moved with a lever" (114) |
| Quote: | | Nancy decided to convince the man beyond doubt [that she was female]. She gave a long, loud feminine scream. (115) |
I hope that was in the Nancy Drew guide to life. 
-The climax (or anticlimax) takes place at the Black Horse Inn
And then the answer to the mystery. SPOILER!
| Quote: | | To whom it may concern: My last will and testament will be found in safe deposit box no. 148 in the Merchants Trust Co. The box is under the name of Josiah Johnston. |
And Nancy's memento from this mystery is the Crowley Clock. |

josh the text means
| Quote: | The Theta is similar to an Egyptian symbol that represents the Sun, and the Mu was derived from the Egyptian hieroglyphic symbol for water. So the Sun equals Ra...and the water equals Naunet? Or maybe Poseidon? When combined this "watcher" symbol establishes that the Order rules and watches over all that exists in between.
Theta is the 8th letter, Mu is the 12th. So that's one more 12, but the 8 = ?.
Theta was also used as an abbreviation for "Thanatos," and considered a warning of death.
