 		[PUZZLE] [Jan 20] Box 3 - Memories fade...
Singapore / Berlin / London / Toronto / San Francisco launch
Event: Sat Jan 20, 2007 7:30 am
With 13 1/2 hours go to, surely it's time to start the Box 3 thread.

Memories fade... - what will the theme be? Brains? RAM? Videos? Photos?

This time I intend to be present at the issuing of clues, as I live in London. What will the medium be? Most likely a dot matrix indicator on a red double-decker bus driving around Trafalgar Square. Or, as you can no longer do so, the roundabout to the south of Trafalgar Square.

Will 3/4 of Loki have disappeared? Watch this, or her, space!

 		Number Grid [partial solve]
Punching the numbers

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
right 4, down 2, up 2, left 3, right 4, left 2, down 4


eventually gets you a series of letters that anagram to

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
CONTEST


spec is there will be more words and of course not confirmed that this word is the one we need. But the letters do come up in that order, so probably right.

Thx again to vistaxp in irc who reported this and provided this screencap:

 		Also a quick note, the symbols in the top corner of each puzzle this week don't directly indicate which location holds the clue.
(eg the symbols for pirates and calendar are different, but the clues were both at the singapore event)

ETA: not direct, but the symbols do link, just as last week.

OST - ignore this post - last week was exactly the same Razz those clues also had individual symbols linked to puzzles.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
You can pull the slang names for various hands by connecting adjacent letters on the napkin starting in the upper left corner - Three Wise Men, Steel Wheel, etc. A Steel Wheel is a straight flush, the highest hand of those given on the napkin.

 		History Lesson

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
MAGELLAN

The images you see all represent firsts, ie. first priniting press, first man in space, etc.

The notebook spaces do not fit the names, but the locations specific to those activities do. If you fill them in, you get FIRST AROUND EARTH
