[META] Project of reviewing cards for all details.
remember Caine's last post?

In putting together an agenda for the upcoming - but yet unscheduled- first chat about the unsolved META puzzles relating to the Cube, I've been looking more carefully at a number of cards. I don't have all the wave 4 cards so it is impossible for me to check them.

I know we've all been staring at cards for ages, but I am taking as a hint the advice from Caine in his last post to check all the "small-print things' - he says that is what Garnet has him doing with Mind Candy. So maybe we have overlooked things.

Some examples of things I have found. Some of these were noted and then forgotten; some of these are on the wiki and some aren't :

Card #242 Ciphers of History - "shadow writing" clearly visible "behind" the cipher text. Not solved.

Card #188 Hybridisation - the two number strings are horizontal but one is still inverted. There are "hand-drawn"circles around the main question and parts of two others. [#1 Stenotaphruim secundatum] and [#4Chaenorrhinum Minus.] Isn't it curious that the card that deals with hybridisation changes the way the number strings are presented?

Card #040 - Baby on Board - the layout of the risk pieces and dice next to the numbers isn't clear. And we aren't sure about the elephant shape.

Card #235 - Circuitous - the background repeats in that CT grey font "Whose story?" - this could be the design or a message? I note that there was dissatisfaction with some of this puzzle so maybe there is something more there

Card #250 Manoeuvres - The upside down number string is in a bold or at least different font. I don't know if other instances of the number strings use different fonts - can't check because I don't have them all.

Anyway- it would be great if people would just look at all their cards carefully one more time and post here anything they notice.

The wiki should be our complete resource so I plan to post additions to the wiki as soon as I find my password or get a new one. Please also add anything you find is missing to the wiki as well if you have a log-in.

Note: I don't know if we will find anything more or not, but one last careful check can't hurt.

Thanks Very Happy

i can see that to it looks like a hebrew word {khet samekh vav} (the same word that is 2rd from bottom of the rigth side of Ciphers of History). the sum of the numbers is 464 (RE).
