"parole (пароль)" is "password" in a russian dictionary.

"Meeting location" is somewhat ambiguous ... I hope it's a sort of galería again.

Ok, from the information we have I tried to draw a left-turned 7-circuit labyrinth with 6.66 stadia width, Gemini 0 orineted and with the entrance at the medical faculty.

Assuming the "very highest point" means "most northern point" I would suggest to start the search in the blue area.

But be careful! Do not make draw the attention of the shop keeper on you!

I can't go and look on that area because I'm not from Buenos Aires itself but I will try to figure out which streets are those and tell some friends if they can go.
I posted this map on Diego's forums, maybe someone else helps us with the address.
Another thing... is it Sunday too late to get the ring? Because another players and I are meeting with Diego to do the city labyrinth and that would be a perfect date.

According to Eli's email during the Ring 2 recovery in Tokyo, the "highest point" of a labyrinth historically means the farthest point from the entrance. So, again, the area shown in the midst of this map (namely, around the point ll=-34.5977,-58.4099) is my proposal. That is the most western part of AUZ505's labyrinth.

Got a reply from Eli after sending him my suggestion (see labyrinth picture above).

Hello AUZ505,

It seems again we may have some translation difficulties...

While the labyrinth position seems correct to me, I cannot wager a
guess as to where in the labyrinth we might need to look.

It seems clear we are not dealing with a gallery this time. But would
could be meant by a meeting place?

Perhaps we should consider all of the key locations in a labyrinth
like this one: the peak, the center, the seed, and so on. Where would
friends of Theo meet?

Sincerely yours,

Eli Hunt


Seems like the labyrinth is more or less correct, but the blue area seems wrong. So unagi may be right and we should more focus on the peak (farest distance from the entrance).
And this time it is definitely not a gallery, but a "meeting place".

Thanks, AUZ505, I've been wasting time looking for galleries.

The area I think promising is west or northwest of Pza. Mons. Miguel de Andrea, in the southwestern part of Recoleta.

Geez, Buenos Aires is packed pretty solid. And I don't even get street markings on Google Earth.

This thing could be anywhere from this angle; guys on the ground, get moving! Wink

Street markings are found in http://mapa.buenosaires.gov.ar/sig/index.phtml
I wonder what are the large buildings in the square at Paraguay 3101.
EDIT: It's Hospital de Niños - Ricardo Gutiérrez.

I think I maybe have a possible ring location.

Eli said we should look at every key location of the labyrinth, e.g. the seed (the cross of the labyrinth).

People who followed this story from the beginning will perhaps remember the strange things that happened at the "Esperanto society of BA" (see Diego blog post ). More information on what happened there could be found on this thread .

And guess where this society is? More or less directly at the seed of the labyrinth. See this map for details:

I had remembered that location, so I mentioned Paraguay St. above, but it's at the seed, not at the peak, although indeed Eli mentioned seed as well as peak, so I thought it's not the destination.

EDIT: How about hotels, such as La Casa de los Naranjos?

I think it's like we're temporarily giving the ring to the keeper, for them to hold on to....?

They have to give the password to a person at a meeting spot, who will film them for verification as a member of TheO. But yes, the keeper only hangs on to it for a while before sending it on to Kai and Eli to assemble for the final message.

Two things:

1. It's very likely that I will be the TheO member that will pick up the ring so... do I have to do anything in particular before I go to the location? And is it too late to go on Sunday?

2.I think that the point we are looking for is the intersection between Cordoba Ave. and Aguero St. These are possible locations in my opinion:

I think you're ready if you are already a TheO member.
I think you shouldn't take photos of the ring at the pickup place, otherwise the ringkeeper will doubt you.
I have no ideas about whether Sunday is too late or not.

I don't think shops are promising, because the voicemail said "meeting place".
During the pickup in Tokyo, I thought TheO's pointing the place was not accurate. If I were you, I would look around the area including the intersection of Paraguay and Aguero.
