-Whenever a clue says "Last year", we're counting the year the current clue is hidden in. e.g. if you find Clue 5 in 2009 telling you to look for Clue 6 in a post last year, we're talking about 2008.
The first Clue: You decided to take the dare and follow the footsteps to find Professor Binns. It looks like the kidnappers are traveling through time! They seem to be particularly interested in a very
personal activity taking place in January last year...
