My pup has said they finished their program! I took it from them while they weren't looking, perhaps it can give you guys a clue on who they are?

-snip-

I don't code, but I can research, and just went through stacks of Google pages looking for this. It is in fact Python, but when I put it through a tester to see how it actually works, line 19 ( if hint1 == #"something":) seems to be broken. Can someone who actually knows the language see if it's something on my part or the code being faulty?
(I get this error message, if that helps: "SyntaxError: invalid syntax (<string>, line 19)")

Yeah I purposefully left it like that since if I put the right answer in there it would be too easy to find xD

Keep in mind though that the answer is only 1 part; there's more hidden in there

How'd you test it?

Also...

- In their 'Assorted Characters' group, their Rhett and Link dogs (from GMM) are named 'Rhett says "F=6"' and 'Link says 'T=2632849"'
- The numbers lead to this link viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2632849 , where the post is edited with, 'Looking for a clue? You might hear one through 4467'

Anyone figure out that last clue there?

Here's my link --

Just get rid of all the periods in Swift's original code and replace them with an equal amount of spaces (1:1).

You have to take out the #
(at least im 99% sure that's what it is. I haven't used python in a while)

Oh hey, that's right! The problem is that now I've gotten it to work but it doesn't seem to be working entirely. XD

__author__ = 'Beatrix + Swiftalu' #A special puzzle
#Booting up program
#10%
#25%
#40%
#90%
#100%
#Ready to go
#Don't mess up!
#Let's do this!
hint = input("Welcome! I'm sure you're here for a hint yes?") #Better say Y
if hint.upper() !="Y" !="N":
hint = input("Sorry! I didn't quite get that, mind typing your answer again? Perhaps"
"I should have said you need to use Y or N to indicate your answer.")
#Silly user
if hint.upper() == "Y":
print("Good! Let's get started on this little puzzle shall we?") #Yay >v<
hint1 = input("Let's start with some simple math then; what's 3+2?")
if hint1 == "#5":
print("Yay good job! You solved 1 part of this hint!")
#Congratulations!
else:
print("Sorry! That's not right, try again!")
if hint.upper() == "N":
print("Ok, well that's fine! Goodbye!") #How could this happen to me

this worked for me (turns out you have to play with it a bit; like the above user said, some of it is inputting in spaces in place of the periods) but other than "Y" and "5" I.D.K. what else to derive from that as clues

we solve for line 19 to get the hint. line 19 is the hint

Nope, no one has figured out the actual meaning of this hint yet. :3 And, just for the record as I saw someone mention it earlier, my avatar is not a hint and Andrew (the character in my avatar) is not connected to my staff pet.

For handy reference, here's a list of what point has been reached in solving each of my hints:
1. 4467 confirmed to be the grapevine item
2. Metro
3. Birchii
4. Yes, Virginia
5. Still at the start

Oh, yeah, my handy reference. :b

The closest thing I can fine is the definition to the number 4467: kingdom, sovereignty, dominion, reign

Line 19 is not the only hint in there xD

In teeny tiny really in I forget whose quote.

its just that for some reason you conveniently miss the ones that are OBVIOUS

Also found that... Oh, and, "Birchii" is a river in Romania. cx
