The white mountain puzzle number is thefe general number and is not apecifically for lost and found I called and got a message telling me to call back in office hours or leave a voice mail message. I decided not to leave a voicemail messagr cause I am in Straya and didn't want to leave an int number, but it all seems out of game

There is A Live help chat function at the bottom of the page and I told them I received 3 puzzle pieces that look like the Eiffel tower, with an order of seamp pop. The live help recomended going to the website and searching Where in The World and then to scroll over the eiffell tower puzzle to see if thr piece matches. I think you bros are all over this. She said she is "not aware any promotions with the pop company."

It was a white lie about me having the puzzle piece already.

So, I've been staring at the Memory Lane puzzle. A lot. I think it still *might* be our best way forward.

There's a lot of interesting things in it. While other puzzles may share one or two elements with the trailer, it shares MANY.

I've found fluorescent tube lighting, a CB radio (recently spotted in the kitchen on Reddit), a juke box, non-perishible canned drygoods, a tube tv, cassette tapes (not vhs but I think you can see some in the media centre next to the tv - also, I think it is by Lyle Lovett?), The Game of Life (amid a stack of other board games, just like in the background of the bunker), a stack of White Mountain puzzles by Lori Shcory (the same artist who did the Cat Fish puzzle in the trailer, and also made this puzzle).

And here's a kicker: a *crate* of old fashioned soda pop bottles hiding in the background of the dark corner on the left centre edge.

Also a troll. Because why not?

There could also be more in there, it's a weird image with a lot of layers and things that are pretty hard to work out.

So another interesting thing is that the title of the puzzle (memory *LANE*) appears in this puzzle in a street sign. I only just now noticed the the street sign has an arrow on it. It's pointing at the rotary phone, which has things on it I can't quite make out. The area code seems to start with a 4. If the next two digits are 8 and 3... Well... Then we'd really have something.

Also interesting is how this puzzle is supposedly - but inconsistently - about "obsolete" technology. We all immediately noticed *plenty* of exactly this kind of obsolete technology in the bunker. It makes sense that this puzzle is trying to get us to ask why. What is going on, what is happenening, what has happened to make John Goodman build his bunker and fill it with such an odd assortment of stuff? Did he prep this bunker for y2k and forget about it until it came in handy 15 years later? Did he just get the stuff for cheap at a "flea market?" Or a "yard sale" (Which oddly enough is the name of 2 of 3 puzzles found in this puzzle? - and FYI the third puzzle is about ocean life, because of course it is).

Or did he choose this analog stuff specifically because he knew digital tech (like Winstead's phone) would be risky in the event of an EMP (something I first learned about in JJ's Alias).

For kicks and grins I sent a request to my rep at Paramount to see if he can tell me whether or not we should expect any kind of viral marketing campaign for 10CL that we may be to cross promote with. Hopefully hear something from him soon.

I've been trying to think about the possible relevance of these puzzle pieces. I don't know if I have any novel insights but:

1) Maybe we are indeed expected to virtually assemble the puzzle. If so, what could they possibly reveal, especially since we already have identified the source puzzle? So far, none of the pieces look like they've been marked up in any way that people have reported.

1a) maybe it will be the 'missing' pieces somehow
1b) maybe it has to do with the names on the Eiffel Tower (cool thing I learned through this)
1c) maybe 'special' marked pieces haven't been received yet

2) alternatively, the actual puzzle pieces are just 'flavor' and the intended route is in another direction.

2a) the source/maker of the puzzle (seems unlikely)
2b) highlighting the theme of France/Eiffel Tower (which was apparent from the trailer, but still)
2c) we still have to wait for some other site/clue to pop up

I've also been trying various URL guesses on both 10cloverfieldlane and drinkswamppop so see if there are hidden directories/images but that is an endless guessing game.

Just thinking out loud.
