Treverton differentiates the concepts by describing a puzzle as something solvable if information was not being withheld, while a mystery provides too much information with no guarantee of relevance; puzzles can be solved, but mysteries can only be framed.

 This same video appeared dozens of times over multiple years before the station was wiped out by a [[Un Pueblo De Nada|flood]]. Mimi remarks that the video of Weaver may have been the station's last broadcast before the flood.
