 		[OOG] Scientific American
Did anyone else notice that the cover of this month's Scientific American is a picture of a giant cube with a keyhole in it? And then the article is about Quantum encryption, and uses cube and keyhole images to illustrate the article, too?

I know, I know, just a strange coincidence, but it made my heart skip a beat as I was walking past the magazine rack! (You know you've been on the perlex city boards too much when...) Rolling Eyes

 		I was watching ITV3 recently (UK TV channel for all you out of towners), and in each set of adverts a blue screen comes up with a revolving cube on it. The first time i saw it i did a bit of web searching, and came up with nothing, so kept watching. It came on a few more times, once it said "Hack Monday" over the top and another time it said a womans name then tuesday. Unfortunately the name escapes me. It's probably just ITV advertising a new programming schedule, but i'll keep an eye on it just n case. Dunno

I got a mood cube for Christmas. It changes colour every few minutes. After deep study I have come to terms with the fact that it is most definitely not the cube we are looking for. Rolling Eyes

How do you know?
What secrets are you keeping from us?

I received a calculator for christmas, and I'm incredibly suspicious about this 'cube root' button... anyone would know how we could decipher this?

F.O.R.

Ah-ha! Maybe all we need to make sense of the mystery postcard number is a quantum computer. Easy peasy. Um, anyone got any time booked on one any time soon? Wink

Seriously though, why did they have to pick such a popular shape? If we'd been looking for information about the XXXXX Dodecahedron it'd narrow our search down loads....
