Scioly Assassination 81: The End of the World

[Squanto]

Carrots, radishes, and parsnips were all North American crops during Native American dominance. If we don't find any more direct clues, I will protect myself.

sorry if this is violating some rule that non-officers can't post, i haven't played this (or been on scioly) since...AWHILE ago.
anyway...
1. a google search gave me that IDPE stands for Identify, Decide, Predict, Execute. not much i can do with this.
2. thanks for factoring that, kokonilly, but since the expression is not set equal to 0, i have no idea what to do with that. maybe there's something someone in a higher math class than me could do.
3. carrots, radishes, and parsnips are roots. maybe something to do with the mathematical expression?

Hi

I can't see the expression, but I'd probably try to find the roots of it, and see where that leads us. i have a feeling that the numbers directly lead to someone...

689 and 7.

6/8/97 as a date? (Birthday?)

689 and 7.

6/8/97 as a date? (Birthday?)

7/6/89: Well publicized Israeli bus crash.

Its pretty far fetched to assume its the numbers rearranged to form a date is what the clue is trying to say.

I called up the officers.

"The 7 has a double meaning."

You have 27 hours. Enjoy.

The only thing I can think of right now is that joke that goes "Why was 6 afraid of 7? Because 7 8 9" Other than that I have nothing, other than that the numbers added together make 37.

Double seven is fourteen, which is how many letters I have in my username. Also, my two nicknames, forever and physics, both have seven letters.
The advanced math...forever could translate to infinity, and the math could point to physics. Dunno.
The vegetables...I'm pretty sure that all of those appear very, very commonly in Chinese food. I know that I make it no secret that I'm Chinese. Or maybe I'm just going off a tangent here, but still.
Maybe me?
If not, forget whatever I said here and carry on.

I think the sassy is referring to the 7 in "27 hours". maybe, maybe not.
