Would it be possible to post a blow-up of the card, so us non-brits can have a crack at it?

Has anyone else noticed the writing written across the left edge of the Seaside Press puzzle? You'll probably need a physical copy of the advert itself to see it - or if we can ascertain that the 60dpi rule doesn't apply I can post up a hi-res scan of that area.

It looks like an address to me .. <some number> High St <something>ltham

I know this isn't really PXC related but has anyone solved the Nurikabe on the following page - It seems impossible to me not to have a 2x2 area of black somewhere Confused

And as for the Kakuro (Veracity) - well they totally screwed that one up Rolling Eyes

WARNING: Please do not just go and try this until an experienced member of the board has confirmed that it is not brute forcing. Brute forcing something is considered to be extremely bad form. Please can someone confirm if this is ok or not?

I did search but could find no mention of this.

When you dial into Violets voicemail message, if you dial ##, it then asks you for a PIN number in order to access.

I am wondering if the reason that this puzzle was used in the Telegraph was because although we had solved the face value puzzle there was more to find?

probably violet's phone number was used because it is very striking.

Mind Candy were saying at the NYC event, if you want to get a hook into someone's mind, show them bar none. show them the riddle. tell them 'yeah and it's a real phone number.' then tell them there's a real character there. and tell them it points to a web page. and that points to a whole deep storyline. That makes people's head explode.
