So, for the London event, are we all just going to congregate at Trafalgar Square? Or is anyone meeting up beforehand?

This site is handy for getting to places in London if you're not local. Hell, even if you ARE local -

I hope they repeat it like the Vegas one, coz I think I'm going to be 10 minutes late according to journeyplanner. Sad

This was gnawed over heavily in irc on Saturday, but you're right nobody posted it here. I forget who brought it up - was it jontc? Obviously great minds think alike...

And here's a different and equally interesting thought about four possible themes for the four weeks of puzzles, based on Loki's four majors (posted by aspect9):

Which one? Both? More?

Ok, open for new theories here... I did a little looking to try to find out what is on the corner of Front & Yonge in Toronto...

Given the location here (or see attachment), what is the arrow pointing to?

This image...

...seems to indicate that the coordinates are pointing directly to the digital signage block outside the Hummingbird Centre. Given that the event takes place at 7pm ET, it'll be very dark, and clues on the signage would make perfect sense.

How might that parallel with the other locations on Saturday? Is there a possible parallel, a theme?

Oh, and for anyone planning to be at the Toronto countdown location, we've got a meeting point at the Harvey's in Union Station (65 Front St. W - about 2 blocks to the left as on the attached map) around supper... I'll probably be there around 5pm or so. Look for a laptop and a grey toque Wink

Sounds like excellent spec, thebruce. Just checking one thing - that's your arrow, right? Not something from Loki?

And if you are right, seems like NYC wuz robbed - they have those giant screens on Times Square that would have been absolutely perfect for something like this! Altho probably much more expensive to rent than Hummingbird Center. Very Happy
