I did change that part kind of last minute, it was this originally:
XX:22:30
XX:07:30 etc..
Ok, I've tried a bunch of different options and none of them have worked... Am I correct in assuming that the solution starts from three separate points? If so, I must not be very clear on each point. For clue 1, I'm pretty certain it's between one of two points - a letter and a number, adjacent to each other. I'm referring to the picture for this one, not really sure which fits the clue, but it's gotta be one of two. Let me know if that sounds way off. For clue 2, I'm guessing it's a number, but I'm least confident about that, and I'm not sure how to find which one it is. Not referring to picture for this one, which might be wrong? idk. For clue 3, I'm pretty confident it's a single number - referring to the picture. Again, let me know if that sounds way off.
I think as long as I can figure out the starting points, I'll have the solution.

Yes three separate start points, the paths I wanted to make semi-easy to figure out and the start points being most important. There is a particular theme with the puzzle and the three start points, perhaps I should've made it more clear but knowing history should help solve each starting point. And maybe adding the painting underneath just added confusion but the painting isn't needed at all to solve it, just kind of an easter egg afterwards.
Last hint I'd give is note the amount of columns and rows, and the placement of the capital J's and S's

The answer is going to be 22 characters long, right? That's not from the puzzle, that's just what I'm noticing from ln.cash, but I want to make sure that's right

I'm just following a path rather than "decrypting", right? In other words, do columns/rows need to shift? Basically not sure what to do with that last hint lol
Also want to confirm that paths wrap the grid if necessary
reply
No shifting, wrapping or decrypting (other than the riddles) necessary.
Tomorrow is a large clue as well..

Right... Yeah I get the theme, I figured the 77th anniversary was probably inspiration
Ok so last technical question, and if this doesn't help idk lol
For (0,0) (1,-1) (1,0) ...
There are 8 different ways to interpret this:
These could be coordinates relative to a single point
OR
These could be a path where you start a (0,0) and go to 2nd location, and from the 2nd to 3rd, etc (although I believe this "path" would have to wrap the grid, so I think this is ruled out)
From there, it's not clear which coordinate is horizontal (x) and which is vertical (y)
And then from there, +1 on the vertical coordinate could mean UP directionally, or it could mean DOWN if it's meant to increment the row number
The easiest way to answer this question would be to let me know what are the correct coordinates for (0,0) (1,-1) (1,0) if you start from "5" in your picture
reply
Yeah I didn't notice the x and y axis' that the circles already kinda made, or I probably wouldn't have used coordinates like this. I figured using them at the clue start point 0,0 then plotting according to that and drawing a path.
