[UPDATE] ethan [Nov 6]

[taniwha]

I sharpened the note and adjusted the brightness/contrast so that it is easier to read.

[taniwha]

This is the note reversed so you can read what was written on the back of the paper.

[taniwha]

Someone should check those pay phones in Vegas and L.A. to see if there are any clues laying about.

People going to Orlando this weekend can check the Pagoga on Lake Eola.

Might also want to try and retrieve whatever was left for Emerson at Cyberia Chicago


Here's the Vegas Vegas location

/me crosses fingers that something specific to Denver will show up at some point in the game...

I'll wager quite a bit of money that all these places WILL have something - too obvious for them not to contain something in real life.

[Muffin]

Is there a web address in there on diagonal - can't quite get it...

can see www. and nearby mentions blueline
word underneath this ???

not very good image programs available

[chancesend]

Looks like:

BLUE LINE
JAVISINAY STA.


What's erased at the top?

CACSES

eh?

Also, if anyone is going to these places, then you have been warned by the PMs not to take it with you. The crossed-out phrase:

MARK SOME 'DON'T REMOVE. SCAVENGER HUNT"

Also, notice the erased word under the large red spot:

ALERT

Evidently the red spot is covering something else, IMO. But it's too well covered to see anything.

[Kejej]

Also something under the red color to the right

Looks to me like
ACE...



D'oh, chancesend beat me on that one

I searched online for the books mentioned in the note:

Nuland, Sherwin B.: "The Wisdom of the Body"

review: http://endeavor.med.nyu.edu/lit-med/lit-med-db/webdocs/webdescrips/nuland1232-des-.html
contents: http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0679444076/ref=sib_rdr_toc/103-1300624-0093454?%5Fencoding=UTF8&p=S00A#reader-link : note: this is another edition of the book

In short: "Written by surgeon and renowned author Sherwin B. Nuland, this book offers both a detailed look into the workings of the human body and a glimpse into the heart and work of the author."

Edward Twitchell Hall: "The Hidden Dimension"
review: http://book.realbuy.ws/0385084765.html
contents: http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0385084765/ref=sib_rdr_toc/103-1300624-0093454?%5Fencoding=UTF8&p=S008#reader-page%20:contents

In short: "Hidden Dimensions examines the cultural contexts of space, how peoples define their personal and community spaces as part of their cultural norms."

Jacques Ninio: The Science of Illusions
review: http://www.complete-review.com/reviews/divsci/ninioj.htm
contents: http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0801437709/ref=sib_rdr_toc/103-1300624-0093454?%5Fencoding=UTF8&p=S003#reader-link

the front and back cover remind of the picture in MLO's metadex:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0801437709/ref=sib_rdr_fc/103-1300624-0093454?%5Fencoding=UTF8&p=S001#reader-link

In short: "In his sixteen chapters Ninio considers all sorts of illusions, from all sorts of vantage points...Ninio does a good job of explaining what the illusions are, as well as offering some historic background, where applicable. He also offers some "explanations" as to why we perceive these illusions as we do."

In his notes he mentions 3 books:

-INDIANAPOLIS
FOUNTAIN SQUARE BRANCH LIBRARY
“THE WISDOM OF THE BODY” – 612 NULAND S
(By: Sherwin Nuland)


-PORTLAND (BA 48 716)
MULTNOMAH COUNTY LIB 801 SW 10TH (CENTRAL LIB)
“THE SCIENCE OF ILLUSIONS” –JAQUES NINIO (CH. 11) 153-74 716S 2001
(By: Jaques Ninio)


And the last one

-ITHACA NY
CORNELL U LIBRARY
“THE HIDDEN DIMENSION” – BF 469 H17
(By: Edward Twitchell Hall) - this one he didn't find/know the author to.

[LokiNZ]

The numbers and letters after the titles are the classification "call numbers" at those libraries.

The Wisdom of the Body by Sherwin B Nuland

At Fountain Square Branch library but I can't access the search database.

http://www.imcpl.lib.in.us/fsq.htm

The Hidden Dimension by Edward Twitchell Hall

Cornell Library has an online database.

http://catalog.library.cornell.edu/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?Search_Arg=BF469+H17&Search_Code=CALL_&PID=10989&SEQ=20031106070829&CNT=50&HIST=1

Looks like the scavenger hunt means there may be clues in the real world at those libraries and payphones.

[Muffin]

Probably nothing, but virtually all the cities with projects at murpha.com are included in the scavenger hunt.

Wish I could go to these places! C'mon america, wake up and get searching

[Kejej]

It looks like it's written with both a pen AND a pencil?

Who would do that? Not me - I'd either use a pen OR a pencil!

Does it mean anything?
