It's a nifty little puzzle to fill time whilst they fix the season two site. I have to say though, unless I've made a mistake I'm a bit upset that there's a word missing from the puzzle - doesn't bode well for the season two puzzle cards!


I wouldn't worry about it, they probably came up with it quickly because the website took longer than expected to update, hence the mistake.

Text at the bottom of page www.perplexcity.com:

(How to find a Cube, part one of many: 156 - Consider the correct typographic term for this phenomenon. Then, follow the fortress's example, and that should take you quite some way.)

Managed to find that silent letters are reffered to as Auxiliary letters.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_letter

and using the text Castle's heir hates science from the earlier text came up with this location:

http://www.roman-britain.org/places/colwyn_castle.htm

Does anyone know what the original text might be reffering to though? Surely this can't be a clue for season 2!! Can it?

The other thought is that the clue refers to card 156 and the typographic term for the dots on that card.

Following that link I would say that we're looking at empty letters, rather than auxilliary letters.

Also, it's probably irrelevant but Fortress is a kind of patience. I was hoping to find a variant using 3 decks of cards (ie 156 cards) but it's a 1-deck game afaik.
