You're WRONG About FNAF's Biggest Unsolved Mystery! (Theory Peer-Review) 

is the number puzzle that u add the last two number together?

"I'm 100% sure is name is E-" (Watches the video) "-ventually going to be figured out."

"Hello scared, I'm dad" -William to his dead child, probably lmao

15:40 "There was never any question" this poor innocent soul wasn't there for Miketrap

I have 0 problem with anyone referring to Crying Child as "Evan" for simplicity's sake, or in their own headcanon, whatever. I know who you're talking about, it's cool. But GUYS. It's not confirmed canon - and it's DEFINITELY not canon enough to SPAM CREATORS telling them they were "wrong" for referring to the character only with their canon name. Take a deep breath and move on, gosh dang- Anyway, really interesting video! Ive never read the security logbook myself and I do NOT have a head for numbers or obscure puzzles, so seeing you break down each "solution" and explain how they got there and why it doesn't exactly work was fascinating

Maybe the foxy grid puzzle was purposely made incomplete because the crying child remains incomplete. William was never able to find all the pieces, so we’re missing some pieces too. So the name of the crying child will never be revealed, like how the FNAF 4 box will never be opened.

Honestly the whole Evan thing always felt like a card force, and every answer kind of feels like looking for an expected answer. We don’t really even know if it’s really supposed to be a name. Just taking a step back from what the community has decided, the prompt and the page kinda feel like it’s asking for a nonogram to make an 8-bit image, it just needs a key. Maybe the 2-4-5 sequence from the tally marks? Idk, not my area, it just seems like potentially a totally different puzzle than we all think. Alternatively, if you had a cannon 8-bit image of foxy that wasn’t totally arbitrary, you could reverse engineer an answer from the nonogram key that would make it, but that’s pretty forced too.

There's a recent video that suggests that "I'm Scared" is responding to "Do you have dreams?" on page 41, which would give a 'D'. Now, while "Evad" is not a name, the issue comes from assuming that these letters are in the correct order to begin with, because after all, there's no actual indication of which letter comes first. People just assume that the first 3 are E-V-A because the original theorizer arranged them that way in order to force "Evan" to fit. If we instead flip them around however, we get the name "Dave", which just so happens to be the alias that William used when posing as a security guard in The Silver Eyes. We're also 99.99% sure that William is hired as the first guard in FNaF 2 under a fake name, so that got me thinking, what if he used the same alias in the games as he did in the novel trilogy, and what if that alias (at least in the games) was the name of his dead son? *mind blown*

It is only fate for theorists to go down a rabbit hole of fnaf after their first theory on it. Anyway, great video!

Part of the reason the Evan theory took off wasn’t just because of the “solution” to the logbook puzzle, it was also because there is a character named Evan in the Fazbear Frights books. In the books, Evan has a child named Jake who is leading a suspiciously similar life to the crying child, and Evan has a brother named Mike.

Alright everyone, I've done some digging and I think I found something very promising, but I need some help figuring out if I'm on to something, or it's just a coincidence. Throughout the book, there are 4 different pages with coupons on them that I sort of closed over in the video, but I think they might actually be the key to cracking the foxy grid! The Foxy grid has 45 columns and 28 rows before there's a line break. So, it stands to reason that the number we need to plug in for the horizontal coordinate should be between 1 and 45, and the vertical should be between 1 and 28, or else we'd need to do some complicated looping around stuff. Well, I was looking more at the coupons that appear on 4 separate pages throughout the book, which list all the stuff you can get with the coupons (two pizzas, 4 cupcakes, 20 game tokens, stuff like that). The largest quantity of stuff you can get from a coupon is 45 ride tokens from the coupon called Foxy's Pirate-Palooza. Every other item on one of these coupons is somewhere between 1 and 45, the exact number of columns on the grid. Each coupon also has a dollar amount that you can save, ranging from 4 to 16, which would all fit in the vertical range! So my thought was maybe that you need to use the number of items you can get with the coupon as the horizontal coordinate, and the value of the coupon as the vertical! Besides just being able to fit in the grid perfectly, more evidence for this being the correct solution is on the final coupon, where Mike has written "For real value, see page 61". This page is the one with the half finished comic with a blackboard that has 4+5 and 3 written on it, meaning that the true value of this coupon should be 3, 9, or 12 if you added them all together. This leads me to believe that the values of these coupons have to be significant, or else why would they bother telling us that the final coupon's value is wrong? So, I tried doing just that, turning every item on each coupon into a letter by using the number of things you get as across, and the value of the coupon down in the grid. As I started going, I noticed that sometimes the numbers are spelled out, like in the first entry where you get TWO medium pizzas with your choice of TWO toppings each. The fact that the word two is capitalized in the first coupon leads me to believe that having some written out and some with digits is significant, but it could just be a style choice. Other times the numbers are written out with simple digits. And finally, some entries don't have a number explicitly called out but have an implied quantity, like the Custom Party Kit with invitations and hats. Because these don't have a specific number, I'm not sure if they should be included or not, so I marked them in green. So, to summarize, using this method, the letters obtained from the numbers written out are: E E Y Y F F F Z Y S C O O O, and then the last one is either O O if you used 3, Y Y if you used 9, or D D if you used 12. The letters obtained from the numbers expressed with digits are: R D B J C Q Y O K T F Y B U R Y and the last one is either J if you use 3, T if you use 9, and Y if you use 12 Lastly, the letters from the implied numbers that may or may not be included are R D R B B and the last one is either MJ if you use 3, W if you use 9, and B if you use 12. Looking at these letters, I noticed that F, R, E, D, Y, and B all come up way more often than they should. Of the 43 letters (including the implied ones, and using 12 for the last coupon), there are exactly 5 B's, 5 D's, 5 F's, and 5 R's, 8 Y's, and 2 E's. So my first thought was to try to spell out "Freddy" as many times as I could, and maybe the letters that are left over spell something, but that didn't really amount to anything. I tried just unscrambling the letters all together but couldn't figure anything out. My other thought was to try and find out how much each item is actually worth based on these coupons, a lot of the items are repeated across different coupons in different amounts, so you could probably figure out how much each thing is worth, but I'm not sure how that would really help. It's also possible that you need to actually cut the coupons out and look on the backs of them or something, I have a digital version of the book so I'm not able to try it myself, but it could be something And so, I leave it to you! This all feels like it was very intentionally designed to me, the fact that it exactly matches the size of the Foxy grid, the clue in red, and the fact that the same letters repeatedly come up, but I'm not sure where to take it next. If Let me know if any of you have any ideas, though!

Objectively Garrett is the closest we’ve gotten he’s the closest thing to another confirmed appearance the bite victim has had in 9 years bro is so popular for WHAT

Your reasoning of everything is solid. Think it shows well how the community takes theories for granted without fact checking themselves too often. I will say i am still quite fond of the CCs name being Evan not only for the fact that even in the original post theres multiple ways that people have found the name but one more compelling reason you hadnt mentioned. Almost exactly 3 years after the release of the Logbook, the Fazbears Frights book "Blackbird" released in which there is a story (The Real Jake) which topic-wise parallels CC and includes someone with an older brother named Micheal, with the name "Evan". Quite a big coincidence, no? Well still, its not confirmed so it stays more of a headcanon for now i guess. Thoughts?

Right, so here are some of my observations from the book, they could be nothing, but I thought I'd throw them out, and you all can do the same! The first thing I didn't have much time to go into was the tally marks. A couple of the pages have tally marks on them in groups of 4 and 5 (actually, ever grouping of tallies is 5 except for one grouping of 4). A lot of people have connected this to a similar tally mark puzzle from Ruin, where you can find tallies carved into the walls, again in groupings of 4, 5, and 2. If these 2 puzzles are related (which isn't a guarantee), then the numbers 2, 4, and 5 have to be significant somehow. If the puzzle were a simple matter of adding up all the tallies on each page or across a row or something, then you would expect that you have an equal chance of having a group of 3 tallies or a group of 5 would be the same, so the fact that there isn't a single group of 1 or 3 tallies across either of these is significant. I'm not sure what that could mean in terms of the puzzle, but just to brainstorm some connections, the numbers 2, 4, and 5 are all the factors of the number 20 that can be expressed with tally marks (there's also 10, which is just 2 groups of 5). The number 20 is also significant in the Foxy Grid because, since there are 45 columns and 26 letters, the way it works out the 1st column and the 20th column are identical to one another (same with 2 and 21, 3 and 23, and so on). So if these 2 puzzles are connected through the tally marks, the solution could be a bit more math-intensive than everyone thought. Another thing I noticed relates to Foxy. This page has you drawing Foxy, so I decided to look into all the times Foxy appears to see if there was some pattern or something. And while I didn't find any pattern per say, I did find that Foxy appears ALL OVER this book. In fact, Foxy appears on nearly twice as many pages as Freddy, the 2nd most common character in the book. (For reference, Foxy appears on 27 pages, Freddy appears on 14, Bonnie on 13, Chica on 11, and a few of the sister location characters along with the puppet show up only a handful of times). This could just be because he's sort of the "Main Character" of the book, he's the security guard character on all the chapter art and the end of night interviews (which furthers the theory that Foxy Bro is Mike Schmidt/Afton), but even without those 10 extra instances, he would still be the most common of the core 4. A lot of the images that they use for him are reused throughout the book, so I thought maybe it was a case of using page numbers where duplicate images appear, but that doesn't seem to actually hold up, the images don't always come in pairs. It seems more likely that these were just reused images to cut down on costs, but I thought I'd throw it out there

I think the biggest problem with the FNAF games and community as a whole is that for some of the mysteries presented, there's no real answers to them. You got mysteries like what Crying Child's real name is, who died first in the FNAf timeline (Crying Child, Charlie, Suzie, or Elizabeth), and whatever the hell Midnight Motorist is, to name a few. And it's true that hints have been provided to the solution to these mysteries, but unless a clear answer is provided to any of them, the best we can do is theorize (and many of the theories will inevitably contradict each other).

I agree with Evan not being his name. Ever since I heard that the N was just kinda pieced in there because it was the only letter to fit.

as a fnaf veteran myself and someone that's probably got a stupidly encyclopedic knowledge of every little tiny detail of this franchise and its history, first of all i wanna say you've actually done GREAT research for someone that started as a proper n00b. second of all, which probably should've been the first point, this was a great video all around. solid debunks, solid reasoning, loved it. the only thing i wanted to add was: people coining the name Evan actually didn't START from that solution to the foxy grid. to get into the weeds a bit, one of the short stories released (from the Fazbear Frights series of books) had a family in it where a character named Evan had a brother named Michael ("The Real Jake" if you'd like to read more into that, but honestly that's where the similarities of the Evan character to the CC end. it's also worth mentioning that it's not uncommon at all for scott cawthon to reuse names and throw in stuff like that, because he knows it's theory bait for the fandom). basically, a good amount of the fandom had already decided the name was canon just from that leap alone. now, this story came out in december of 2020. this makes that foxy grid solution even MORE unlikely for me, because with it being posted in february of 2021, i honestly think the person who got that result (and the resulting people accepting it being the answer) had confirmation bias, if not just looking for a way for it to come out as Evan to confirm the name for sure (no shade though! grasping for answers is what this community is all about after all, lol)

my 2 sense on the foxy grid: it seems really odd to me that people just follow the pattern to the second row, so the first column is A,T. to me, it makes a lot more sense to follow the alphabet in the top row, and then follow the alphabet down the column. so the first row would be abcdefghi ect., and the first column would be the same. and then the second column would be bcdefg, then cdefghi, and so on.

The verbal smackdown he just casually gives in the middle of the video is both hilarious and kinda sad that it’s necessary.

The funny thing is,the logbook probably does give us Crying Child’s name. It’s Cassidy. I mean,the roles the two ghosts play mirror the Stitchwraith perfectly and in the Stitchwraith the Crying Child parallel is the one who can communicate and see and the vengeful spirit parallel can’t see or hear. Effectively,it’s the other way around,which also seems accurate to golden Freddy considering “It’s Me!” And the type of things the faded speaker knows about Mike

Saw your springlock suit video and now this one just popped up. I like the premise of your channel from the intro I think approaching unsolved mysteries in games as puzzles is fun, subscribing. Also hearing u say in that springlock suit video that you were wrong about the name I was just internally like "nooo dont say sorry you were right". I don't know why that gets thrown around so much and with such hatred/ inistance too.

I like to think it's Garrett for the same reason we think the child possessing The Marionette is named Charlie: using other media that named the parallel character. Edit: Before that, I thought he shared a name with Cassidy because Scott thought it would be funny that he answered "yes" again.

The name of the crying child is often a theorist’s white whale. Be careful not to go full Ahab! By the way, I believe the next number in the sequence would be 8!

By the logic of the original theory itself, the crying child COULD be named Eva. But of course, that'd be against the personal bias of the Original Poster so they had to try and make an "N" fit in there. Never liked calling the kid "Evan" anyways... Great video, as always Chiptide!

My new headcanon is that the crying child is called "Scared Afton" and honestly, there's no reason why it shouldn't be that.

Wait... people actually thought Evan was the canon name? Not even MatPat believed that and he believes the craziest things!

Game theory: I think that the crying child’s name is Evan, but that’s just a theory. The fandom: Okay so his real canon name is Evan

Wolfie1740Kingdom himself doubts the name of the CC is Evan now. And HE STARTED it. PERSONALLY, I think the MOVIE had a hint (Crying Child's name is Garrett, anyone?)

All right guys now that he knows Evan is not 100% correct, lets spam that CC is Garrett xD

It doesn't help that there is a seperate Tally Mark puzzle being worked on from Security Breach and Ruin... I don't know yet if we had to bring in AR or either of the VR games and the DLC for the first one, so the Tallies might not be a part of this particular one... Edit: which the Sticky Notes being potentially tied in might tie up the pictures as well, invalidating just about everything else... this is so rough, and I might need to take a deep dive instead when I've got the time to study up on cryptography and puzzle solving... Edit2: For clarity, I was referring to the sticky notes in Ruin. Specifically, the glitched Ballon Boy arcade room that was hidden in the base game with that special Fazcam puzzle. You access the restored notes by looking at them with the VANNI mask on.

12:17 Page 89 EVAD ... Dave? like the pseudonym Afton uses in Silver Eyes? More compelling a case than Evan, given Scott's penchant for reusing names, but I bet the Op didn't like it enough 😂

Well, you say confirming Mike and Michael are the same character shouldn't be a big deal, cause they have the same name, but this is a franchise with 3 separate Jeremys with, as far as I'm aware, no connection whatsoever 😅

I feel you, I once tried and failed to convince a child that his name wasn't Chris.

Honestly, I don't understand why there are 2 spirits in a book. Why did people decide that changed text is crying child? We found out about Cassidy's name by faded text and page number. However page number is changed text sometimes. So crying child's name is Cassidy, too? That doesn't make sense. We have seen that crying child was setted free in fnaf 3. And that he was passive in the all games. So what would he been doing in a logbook? I think that changed text and faded text is Cassidy's speech.

For the number puzzle, have I been well and truly Fibonacci'd?

I saw someone point out that if you use the Happiest Day minigame ending in the Foxy Grid you get Evan as a name

There is nothing that makes me click off a theory more than someone calling him Evan, my personal pet peeve. CC is not hard to say. So thank you for this

can't say I was expecting a video on this topic, but it was very enjoyable! you covered most of the reason's I'm not a fan of the "Evan" solution. I also hadn't heard of the "it's michael" solution before, so even if it probably isn't right that was interesting to hear about. a few months ago I tried out some potential solutions with the actually drawing foxy idea, but i don't think i really got anywhere. maybe it's time to revisit the book. those damn tally marks haunt me... also, I'd love to see more of these peer-review videos! I feel like there's a lot of theories that just kind of get taken for granted, so it can be useful to go back and review how we got there and what we actually know. not to mention entertaining!

I think the crying child's name would be similar to Gregory's name. Because Cassidy name is similar to cassie.

"or some 3rd character also named Mike, which would be dumb", but not impossible. This same series has 3 separate Jeremy's lmao

I’d be happy with any name, but I’d love if it were something snazzy like Johann or Alejandro

Im very proud for guessing immediately that the answer to the number question was 8, and thatvyou add the previous number to the current one to get the next

The answer to that number puzzle you put in is: adding the previous number with the current number. As for example. If we start with the number 1 with nothing before it. Its 0 + 1 = 1. Then with are new current 1. We add the previous 1 behind it. So 1 + 1 = 2. This is why it goes 2, 3, 5, cause if we're at 3 and we add the previous number. We get 2 + 3 = 5. (There is probably an easier and quicker way to say what I just said but I just wanted to solve the number puzzle.)

Have anyone try the Activity given try redrawing Foxy Sprite from the game as seen in FNAF 3 for example? This puzzle weird and the my guess, maybe, Garrett might of been the answer mainly because the FNAF movie well different does tell use some stuff about this different version of Micheal who never had William as his father, what if Garrett the same?

Due to the short length of the number sequence 1,2,3,5, there are many sequences that contain 1,2,3,5, the Fibonacci Sequence being the most famous. It could also be the number of partitions of the positive integers, 1 having 1 partition, 2 having 2, 3 having 3, and 4 having 5. It could be the squarefree numbers, positive integers that don't have a perfect square greater than 1 as a factor. The exception of 1 is actually very important in this case, because if you did not exclude 1, it is trival to see you would have the empty set. Unlike the previous examples, squarefree numbers actually has the first four terms be 1,2,3,5, instead of just containing 1,2,3,5 somewhere. If you allow for any sequence containing 1,2,3,5, just to be the n, n+1, n+2, n+3 terms, then the amount of solutions just in the OEIS is 4564. The partitions sequence usually starts with the partitions of zero, not one. But that is not the only sequence that has the first four terms be 1,2,3,5, it could also be the primeth recurrence. The first prime is 2, the second prime is 3 and the 3rd prime is 5, giving the sequence 1,2,3,5, or many other things. Using the hint, the OEIS says there are 1407 results. Typically the Fibonnaci sequence has starts with zero, so that is not likely. Partitions are now looking more likely, because the first 5 terms are 1,1,2,3,5. It could also be the floor of (3^n/2^n), or again many other things. My guess is the Partions of non negative integers.

While yeah the Evan theory doesn't make much sense as a puzzle, there is something that gives it more credit In Fazbear Frights books, (partly parallel, partly it's own thing, and with some hints of actual canon) one of the characters is named Evan, who has a brother named Michael

yo cool vid, loved the debunks, me personally? i think matpat is on to something with drawing a connectio between gregory from sb and the crying child

The anwser is clearly to use the letters on which pages foxy appears so for reference along with the actual 8bit foxys

I’ve always found it odd that the tally marks Mike makes seemingly aren’t used for anything. I definitely think there might be something there though the one that stumps me is the pages with the grouped tallies. Gotta go thru it again to see if I can figure anything out

“I forgot henry existed” so did everyone before fnaf 6 💀💀

Okay, real quick, love the FNAF 6 fire music in the background of the beginning! I swear, editors of all these videos (not just your's) need more recognition these days.

I knew ever since the beggining that it was not going to work out. Back when this whole evan thing came to light, I already knew this was not right. That last letter was already missing and people just assumed. Its nice that you proved that this is not impossible, but at the same time not possible! We needed someone to talk about it on youtube !

I think his name is Garret? But that's like putting dots together with the movie.

this video felt so validating as someone who has always said the "Evan" theory never made any sense for the exact reasons in this video unrelated but the FNaF Movie basically just confirms CC as "Garrett" so I feel like the debate should rest now

IIRC there was a person who used Happiest Day to solve it and still got Evan

"Either that, or it's a completely new third character also named Mike, which would be very dumb." Jeramy: 👀

Seems like the easiest way for someone to solve this one would be to have a puzzle solver with no knowledge of the franchise try. Our need to fill it with satisfying answers obscured fans from doing it.

If I remember correctly, not even Wolfie1740Kingdom fully believed in the solution or the method he used to get it.

I imagine part of the solution involves, "Rounding to the nearest whole number..." Too bad my math education was so inconsistent from frequent moving and the terrible death knell to US education that was "No Child Left Behind" (thanks, Bush Jr, you monster).

IS everyone gonna tell him that he IS the canditate For the new fnaf guy

I got a kid get so mad at me calling him the crying child because the log book proved it but the fans messed up some of the puzzles like this book is not from Fnaf 1 but most likely from Fnaf 3 and he started filling it out after sister location

Add the last two numbers and give it to the next person lol. I have been playing with a Vigenère cipher and gotten very, very close to Garrett using the same hints as Cassidy. I think there is a good possiblity that is the answer (same # of letters) and I'm using the wrong key (FRIDAY) or a sister cipher of the correct one. It may be Caesar ciper but an atypical shift. (Maybe the solve for real value is reused) But using the Vigenère cipher I CAN'T get an N/A answer. Math being math says that is something. I say reused because "Solve for real value" if applied to the happiest day coupon as, well, the formula for real value (economic term solving for inflation) you can place the Logbook and thus FNaF 3 in 2015-2017. Which seems plausible to me (mind you I AM an idiot). Gives breathing room for Henry to architect a trap and William to costume change before 2023. The tally marks, if you count the words in the headers of the pages they land on and take just that word, write "To you from working architect" which seems very intentional and pointed. I would absolutely vote that is THE answer. I have been bullied relentlessly for stating these things, so I will end this by stating this is my opinion, I am an idiot and not a mathematician- in fact I am very geometric minded and algebraic thinking is very difficult for me. Also I don't own a physical copy of the book, my sister has it at my parent's house and marked it up (which is fine, that IS what it's for.) But if someone has a fresh copy availble... Maybe humour me, yeah?

I agree that the methodology behind finding Evan's name is very flawed, but I consider it to be harmless lore/headcanons. Mostly because while it can be important to know a character's name, it doesn't have to be necessary. Not to mention the story Blackbird from Fazbear's Frights features a father named Evan talking to his son Jake who is dying from a brain tumor at a hospital via a walkie talkie implanted inside a doll that distorts his voice (Familiar plotline wouldn't you agree?). Evan's only other living family is his brother Micheal who is described as a robot with bad programming who has a keen interest in finances. In other news, I just think making Evan the name of the CC just humanizes him and gives him a clearer point of reference, not to mention it differentiates him from his movie counterpart Garrett. Thank you for taking the time to go over this rampant mystery Chiptide. I also have another FNAF idea you could possibly tackle in the future. Which is: How Strong is the Mimic? Because both in the books and in Ruin it's remarkably powerful for a shape-shifting copycat Endo. In Tales from the Pizzaplex it can rip off all human limbs and heads off the body and pile them and in Ruin it has two feats of strength. First one is when it manages to push the forklift that freed it out of the way, an average forklift is about 9000 lbs, yikes. Number 2 is when its head dents the elevator bar door, it forces its arm off, and it crushes one of the bars like alumminum. Could you calculate how strong it would need to be to do that?

As for the name "Evad" being a possibility, you can actually reverse it and get "Dave", which was a very popular name in the 1950s-1960s, though crying child would have been born in the late 70s, theoretically around 1975? Also we have 0 reason to think to reverse "Evad", so that's kind of dumb, even if it can be justified.

There's only 1 exotic butters in the page. The other basket on the left actually has money bunched and wrapped up in there.

at 12:15 i had a thought that it might not be the crying child's name, but one of William's aliases as Evad is just Dave backwards and in the books they called him Dave Miller (or something like that)

"It's Michael" could confirm that the Bite Victim is somehow aware of Michael being there, but I feel like they wouldn't be messing with any random security guard's logbook anyway. 😄

Only use the tally marks + page numbers for the foxy grid. I was thinking you should always flip the x and y axis for every try

“It’s Michael” could mean mike is CC, which is a common theory.

Imagine if he's just called Michael Jr.

“I can’t see” Proceeds to respond to a question in the book.

Tbh even if Evan wasn't C.C's name, I'd prefer it over... *Chris*

Even if we get the answer, Scott is never going to give us a straight answer on if we got it right or not. He is a troll. A bad DM. He’s out to defeat us who enjoy his work. As long as we keep that in mind, we will have some fun despite him.

Literally as soon as you said you were getting corrected about The Crying Child's name and I literally went "Evans a fan name wtf are these guys talking about" I swear this is some Mandela shit

Add the current number to the previous number to get the next number. 1: 0 + 1 = 1 (0 would be null, or NaN [not a number], which could have 0 plugged in for it) 1: 1 + 1 = 2 2: 2 + 1 = 3 3: 3 + 2 = 5 If it continued, it would be 8 next, then 13, 21, 34, 55, and so on. Edit: Yeah, it doesn't seem like "Evan" is the Crying Child's name. I think people latched onto the name since it gave the community something to call the Crying Child other than, well... "Crying Child". After all, some people, maybe most don't want to say "Crying Child" over and over in a FNAF video, especially if it's multiple hours. I think "C.C." is a better name, or rather placeholder name for the Crying Child due to it being just the initials of "Crying Child".

Dude's out here, doing damage control on a fandom that has long since spiralled out of control with theories. Godspeed, good man.

2:05 "if every number follow these rules" I liked that use of the present subjunctive. Very nice.

You are such a talented creator. Excellent videos, and your perfect in your narration and ideas.

"It's me, Michael" would've worked way better, it's too bad they couldn't figure out how to make the clues lead to that.

I loved how you used the “henry monologue” music for your intro rant 😂 great vid!

For the number puzzle. You add the two previous numbers together to find the next number in the sequence. For instance, the next number if the sequence were continued, the next number would be 8, and then after that would be 13, then 21, and so on.

The golden ratio formula. You add the you add the last 2 results together in order to get your next number . The sequence basically looks like 1+1=2+1=3+2=5+3=8+5=13 and so on.

7:12 It would be very dumb but also unfortunately not unprecedented. I think there are at least three Jeremys in this franchise (boy stuffed into Bonnie, night guard Jeremy Fitzgerald, Help Wanted tester who tried to slice off the VR mask).

He's Toysnhk, who is also Kelsey in the books

honestly imlookin forward to it becuz last i checked inon the fandom it went from "chris" to "evan" and i had no idea why the change happened

If we used the grid to find cassidy's name, then how do we know that there is more for it give? Couldn't cassidy be the only solution?

Some people still think that Mike is Bite Victim so I think that 'It's Michael' in specifically the Foxy Grid might be to the MikeVictimers to show them they're wrong and that Mike is Foxybro... I dunno

im sure someone has already tried this but what about using the removed page numbers as the cordinates in the foxy grid

Crying Child's name has never been found.

I'd love to see more of these peer review videos. Really interesting!

I always thought people assuming the evan theory to be canon was insane.

The numbers' puzzle is called a Fibonacci sequence 😊

why are the letters on the grid organized that way? the down row should follow the same pattern as the across one, A B C

Literally no big fnaf lore youtuber says E.... that name, just crying child

I decided to delete my original post and just make a new one. What if it’s Luis? Time for an explanation. So remember the code that gets us Cassidy? The same code also gets us Luis GF (or Golden Freddy). In Matpat’s video “FNAF STUMPED Me!” he gets the code 52, 39, 15, (7 and 2), (10 and 11), and 8:11 from specific pages in the book. He adds the numbers from each page together (5+2=7, 3+9=12, 1+5=6, 7+2=9, 10+11=21, 8+11=19) to get the code 7, 12, 6, 9, 21, and 19. Put that in the Foxy Grid and you get GLFIUS. When unscrambled you get LUIS GF (Golden Freddy). Now the original code (52, 39, 15, (7 and 2), (10 and 11), and 8:11) is used another way to get Cassidy. Is it a stretch that Luis is the Crying Child’s real name? Probably but I do still think it is an important name to keep note of.

Here before the comments get locked from the ppl lighting pitchforks and picking up their torches

I’m thinking it Jeremy if you think about it every single Jeremy has died from a bit or head damage

At first I thought that the number sequence were the prime numbers, until you showed the other number one and that is the Fibonacci sequence.

Excellent video. I love how you've reviewed a lot of different theories here. Thanks for pointing out the original theory for Evan, I've never bought it as an answer. The other grid attempts are also honourable but from a puzzle design POV don't make a lot of sense, as you say. Great work covering them all.

tbh, if the name was just eva it wouldn't work and tbh, there ain't a name that is eva and continues with one other single letter, so evan makes actual sense but if you wanna be technical then yeah c.c's name isn't really known.
