I'm in Houston but not playing this one... (AAP, which I AM playing, has a drop in Austin on the 17th which I may or may not make do to being sickypoo. Confused )

Can someone provide me more info on this drop? EDIT: Never mind, search is mah friend... looks like there isn't much info on it yet. I'll keep reading. Embarassed

Might as well put what I did find here for convenience, though (should I remove the spoiler tags?):

13 lights has been updated. A new point was added to the map. Zooming in shows a shape somewhere along the boardwalk.

I can't make promises that I will be there since my plans for the Aporia Agathon Project drop went to crap this weekend, but I will try my hardest to be there.

ETA: Stuff within the shape are the Stevie Ray Vaughn memorial statue, Town Lake fountain, Austin dog park, Auditorium shores. This looks awesome. I really hope I can make it.

ETA 2: Actually, it looks like the only thing technically inside the shape is the Stevie Ray Vaughn memorial.

It also could mean our contact will be strolling along that stretch of pavement. We'll doubtlessly get more details before X-Day

Technically speaking, these events so far, appear to be "live drops" not "dead drops". Just sayin'... Wink

new stuff on 13lights.org. sudoku puzzle with some equations afterwards. looks like the final solution will give us the time for the next drop.

the sudoku has an unique solution:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
497 316 852
286 975 431
135 428 697

673 194 528

519 832 746

741 263 985
968 541 273
352 789 164


haven't had a chance to figure out the rest yet...

If the colors are supposed to go in order that the arrows point, then you shouldnt need to use all the colors, just the first 4 of them, except for green. So I just plugged in those values for the equations below and came out with 9.5, or 9:30 i would guess. Maybe I did that correctly maybe not, im a bit wary knowing that all the colors werent used....

I get a different time, using grumpyboy's suduko solve:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):


(((1+8)*6)+5) = 59 = yellow

(((9+4)*3)+2) = 41 = blue

((6+6)*3 = 36 = green

(((59+41)/2 - 36 ) = 14 = 1400 hours = 2:00?

I assumed the following:
the ''...'' of the first two equations means continue with adding and multiplying.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

yellow: (((((1+8 )*6+5)*3+4)*9+4)*1+2) = 1635
blue: ((((9+4)*3+2)*3+3)*2+9)*8 = 2088
green: (6+6)*3 = 36

time = (1635+2088)/2 - 36 = 1825,5 ??

Does not really help Sad

i rechecked the sudoku solve. i'm fairly certain there's only one solution to it. so the string of numbers for yellow, blue and green are pretty solid.

as for the equations, i agree with AUZ505 regarding the "..." so the 1825.5 could mean 7:25:30 PM


ETA: oops, what Verdammt said Razz 6:25pm

Except 1825 would be 6:25 pm.
