This puzzle consists of 11 posts on a tumblr blog. The first ten posts each contain a heavily JPG-compressed image of a loss.jpg edit, which is a long-standing meme poking fun at Ctrl+Alt+Del’s infamous comic "Loss" Each post has a caption consisting of a single parenthetical number, and some posts have additional tags to aid in research.
The final image post is a minimalist version of the loss.jpg meme, with each line being a list of ten words. In order of the comic, the lines are:
HE'S, IT, JOHN, LEGO, THE, TITLE, TWIN, TYPE, YELLOW, YELLOWBRICK, BUG, GREEN, MASCOT, OF, OF, PINES, SEEN, SHARES, WHOACCOMPANYING, BORDERS, BUCKLEY'S, CHARACTER, DILEMMA, OF, REBUS, SISTER, WEARS, WITHADDRESSED, FACING, HIMSELF, HOLDING, LIGHT, QUERY, SOLUTION'S, TENTH, TRAINER, WITHABOUT, ANNIVERSARY, AWAY, BLUE, BY, DWARVEN, IN, MAKING, THE, THREEEDITED, FROM, GOD-TIER, HAND, HIGHLIGHTED, IMAGE, PANEL, RUNAWAY, TRAVEL, WEDDINGCAKE, CLOTHES, COMPANION, DIPPER, FILENAME, GESTURES, STATES, STRIP, THREE, TROLLEY
Selecting one word from each list, ten clues associated with one of the ten other loss.jpg edits can be constructed. In order of the ten image posts, the clues and answers are:
| Clue | Notes | Answer | Letter |
|---|---|---|---|
TYPE OF DILEMMA ADDRESSED BY RUNAWAY TROLLEY | 2 | ETHICAL | T |
