The Suspect Green Meta, also known as Supect's IdentityYOU, is one of six metapuzzles in PI Hunt 3. The puzzle takes the form of a series of stick figures in various positions. The objective is to derive the suspect's alibi in the murder.

This meta uses the answers to the following Investigation Puzzles:

 

• Crossed Wires
• Translation Guide
• Not a Kid's Menu
• Rung
• Board Game

Solve Path

The meta is presented as a line of stick figures. After solving each feeder, the solver also received a "scrap of paper" with more stick figures on it. These would be combined to solve the meta.

As an important note, this meta is unusual for puzzlehunts in that

 

Jack Lance went out of his way to customize the meta answer for each person/group solving the hunt. For instance, team "Duck Soup" was given the answer META SPOILERTHEY DON'T FIT THE BILL.

TO DO Add pictures of the scraps, and maybe an example?

The general solve path is given below:

 

In the style of the "Dancing Men" cipher, every stick figure clues a letter based on the arm and leg position. The left and right sides of each figure should be considered separately. By relating the scraps of paper to their answers, it is possible to derive enough of the alphabet to solve the meta.
