[PUZZLE-SOLVED?]Leos Apps Directory In the source of Leos blog is /apps, and if you go to the apps directory you get the message:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
TQ290795 is to ******
as TQ275801 is to ?
so ben is ?
your answer to
applicationsSPLAT imfriendly.co.uk
be warned, be careful what you wish for.
The numbers are multimap grid reference numbers.
The First number is a grid code for buckingham palace area the second is the serpentine in the hyde park areawhich is to the NW of the original location. The reference for big ben is TQ302796. I have emailed this off and waiting for the usual automated reply! lol Anybody think there is more of a puzzle?

Weird, I don't see an /apps anywhere in the source of Leo's blog... Did a search and still found nothing....
EDIT:
Yeah, the /apps directory is brought attention to in the SRC after the movie showed up.

is there anything in this idea...?
as i combed over the map (because i have no clue
where any of this stuff is) i noticed
that all those "in power" (parliament, police,
the royals, etc.) ..they all fall in
between these points.. of big ben, buckingham
and hyde.. and the movie mentioned:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
the key to our survival is in the wrong hands
(this may be all too 3rd dimension)
and or i may just be stating the obvious to those across the
pond..

This is what I emailed:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
TQ290795 is to Buckingham Palace
as TQ275801 is to The Serpentine Pier
so ben is on the Serpentine Pier

This puzzle must have been solved, I'm assuming by Russel with his grid reference answer. I reahed this conclusion with the *recruitment complete* message.
However I am a tad worried that I didn't get recruited, after all I had no answer to send apart from "ben is poorsod"!
Oh well, almost certainly no harm done.

Well, either Russell's or mine.
Zoe tried to chat with me early this morning, but I had *just* went to bed. Missed it.
