rata = night
aura = and
dina = day
I can't find "between".

Isn't it morning?

EDIT:
lamba = long, tall
I can't find "middle".

That sounds promising.

What is the word which sounds "sthiti"? Isn't it स्थिति , which means station?

I think Kavita is right in this point.
twenty = bisa
thirty = tisa

But there's no station? If so, we can't draw a labyrinth.


30 only makes sense, if the numbers in the zodiac are between 1 and 30. But I would assume they are between 0 and 29. At least Omphalos #1 had the artifact direction "Taurus 0".

From this point of view, "Apollo 30" would have been written as "Mercury 0". So I would go for 20.

Oh, that's right! I also go back for 20 now.

Cafe seems to sound kaiphe or kophighara, but Night and Day Cafe is just called "Night & Day", so no problem.

Thank you, Laura and Kavita. I'm sorry I might have hurried you up, although I didn't intend.

 		First try of a map:

The center for this would be in the triangle of
Tip Street
Joiner Street
Church Street

Found this gallery:
The Arts Surgery 0161 819 2888
35 Tib Street, Manchester, M4 1LX

[EDIT] The Arts Gallery is probably north of the center and here is a list of Manchester art galleries: http://www.city-visitor.com/manchester/artgalleries.html

 		hi! laura (lehall) pointed me in this direction to see if i could help - i'm a (recently former) mancunian, and my sister is willing to do a special mission once it's been figured out where to go! I can't say I've heard of the Art Surgery, but the Tib St area is full of little galleries and stuff, the Manchester Craft centre is near there as well as a Chinese arts & craft centre round the corner, and a couple of galleries that I know have cool people in.
I haven't really been keeping up with the game so far (although it looks really cool!) so I'm a bit clueless but laura is keeping me updated on progress, so just say if there's any way I can help with some local knowledge :)

 		From Google map search, Upper Space Gallery looks probable to me, although the direction is opposite to that of AUZ505.

 		Not to derail finding it in Manchester... but I have "fake directions" if one of lehall's friends could record it in Hindi.

Quote:

IN HINDI:
This is agent Amitabh.
Ring # 3 previous location was 44-65 STADIA from OMPHALOS #5, in the direction of HERA 24.
From there the ring is now 20-35 STADIA in the direction of ATHENA 19.
The ring is hidden on a restaurant at the center of a 7-circuit labyrinth, left-handed, that is 40.4 STADIA high with the Forum at the entrance. The cross of this labyrinth is in the direction of apollo 0.

When you get to the restaurant, you will need to give the password to the gate keeper.

REST IN ENGLISH:

Darius and his son Xerxes, were battling the Scythians. Both were injured in battle and taken to a doctor.
The doctor said "I can't operate on Xerxes, he's my son."
Tell the ring keeper the name of the doctor.

EDIT: When/if it gets recorded, someone needs to call it in to the VM number (646) 537-2537, which I believe is in New York. Then someone needs to e-mailed James at membersoftheo at gmail.com and asked him to delete the original directions to the third ring.

 		unagi - the Hindi speakers listened to the words after Night And Day, and I quote:
Quote:
"The word is "position" or "condition", not station"


So I'll speculate:
that section could say "..the entrance is night and day, position the labyrinth cross in the direction of Apollo 20 ..."

Thank you, sapagoo! After I saw "Night & Day", I started to doubt "station".

According to this dictionary, the Hindi word स्थिति has many meanings, including aspect, attitude, case, condition, continuance, entity, existence, place, position, site, situation, state, station, status inquiry, status. I happened to see "station", and I didn't know the others. I imagine this word might correspond to the English word "site", and perhaps cannot mean "railway station" by itself.

 		There are (at least) three galleries near "night and day":

Art Surgery www.theartssurgery.co.uk
Richard Goodall Galery http://www.richardgoodallgallery.com/
The Natural Eye www.naturaleyegallery.com

I would go for the Natural Eye
1) it is a "picture gallery"
2) it has also sculptures
3) it is more or less directly on the outer wall of my labyrinth (even though this laby might be wrong)

When you go around the outside of the dart board shaped area (= labyrinth), you'll need to tell a password to the gatekeeper.

And here the updated map with the labyrinth

 		Can anyone start calling these places and asking if they have an "item"? Call them all if we have to!
