Beats me. May because I've posted in different forums?

and 7 minutes later it says boot Laughing

It happened when you had 42 posts. Isn't there something from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe? I googled 42 and Hitchhikers and got "Answer to Life, the Universe and Everything (42)". Still not sure what it has to do with Kl00, though.

Yeah, I thought I had read them all, too. Perhaps they just make more sense to me now, so the info is sticking.

Yes. Correct/Add: 400-403 are not mis-prints, 412 is another dupe of 403/414 (these look like they going to end up as Virtual to me. 409 is a dupe of Virtual 404 & probably is Physical. 408 has NO DUPE and is called "The Spaz" - again as Physical.

How do we know that 400-403 aren't misprints? They are printed as 400-403 but unlock 413-416. Call me crazy, but that looks like a misprint to me.

How do you know that 412 is another dupe of 403 and 414? I can see how this might be a guess based on the picture on 414, the name of 412, and the photo credits. But do we know for sure (do we have a code)?

Also, how do we know that 408 has a physical version? Has this been confirmed? If so, where? And what is the code?

My surveillance camera codes are 22FC46MJX2 and 237DRWJJX2... use them and pass them on!

EDIT: since I have "42 Posts" now, I guess I am a "Kl00" too. My guess is the Kl00 = clue... meaning it is a clue to the answer to the question of the life, universe, and everything (this is just a guess on my part).

I thought the same. I lament that that I missed having a kl00. Sad

It is a fleeting state b4 it is back to being a boot. Btw, what is a boot?

More likely that 42 is an homage to 42 Entertainment. They've scripted several popular args.

I wasn't referring to the articles that were just linked to, I was talking about the article katsmom was talking about, the Halloween thing. She hasn't confirmed if what was put up is what she'd meant.

wait whats the point of so many surveillance camera cards i mean i have 31 but i dont no what they could be used for

Here is a summary of the camera cards I have seen so far on the forum:

Quote:

226XPPCCX2
22FC46MJX2
22KTG2WKX2
22RJMDPDX2
22WJ92RNXX
22XF2MJPX2
2374FRCWX2

23CP9DMFX2

247GKP29X2
24DN93XXX2
24JNRR4KXX
24KKG4HDX2
24F3CDDRX2
262P6XKTX2
26N267WKX2
27DFG6TDX2 **
27DP2CRPX2
27FDW9NDX2
27GG6XDGX2
27JKGF72X2
27MTKPC4X2

** Whoops. Missed this one.

Total = 22 23. If anyone has more, please share them.

Has anyone noticed that these cards end in X2 or XX? Perhaps there are too many issued for them all to end in the same identifying card number. I also wonder if the XX are virtual cards (where the numbers have been sent to people) and the X2 are physical cards (found in the books).

I've gotten three: One in book and two book codes by mail. Both mail codes end in 'XX'. The Book is 'X2'.

My codes: 24J7NJXMX2, 23DPR9XGXX, and 24KJ2RPCXX

Just finished reading all 48 forum pages. My head is spinning... ;p

#2 which unlocked #405 is a MISPRINT. The card should have been printed as 405-You're info doesn't indicate this. 400-403 are not misprints. Even you, writing "so this is a misprint I THINK" seem to have some doubts. Scholastic did this intentionally. They are not going to make 4 mistakes on the 1st 4 cards of their promotional series (COMMON SENSE). They made, if you will a "mini-puzzle" to search for the missing cards. Fooled me! So which is the misprint - the code which led you to the wrong 400 number or the # itself? Neither! This was done for us to scratch our head, have some fun, and smile when the puzzle is solved. "Call me crazy" No. "Frustrated"? like the rest of us? Yes. But 1 think for sure, 100%, we're ALL having fun.

To answer your question - No, of course not or we would all know by now. Am I 90%+ sure? Yes. 1. Names of the Cards: Man's Best Friend, The Pup, The Pip Bull (33%). 2. At 39Clues-Various all 3 links to the cards are identical (33%). Photo Credits: All 3 indicate the same photo. (33%) After all this, it appears you know something we don't. What is it?
Besides the Photo Credits have been perfect so far. What makes you belive Scholastic made another mistake? We'll give you #60 if you're right, what will you give us if you're wrong? Lighten up, have fun, & let the game/cards/books to be a treat to all that is within you.

I believe I did call attention to the printing discripency.

Card 405: Surveillance - G69CKR3K9T (Borders Card) --- physical card found in US (amoung other places), but printed ast #2 (it does unlock 405)

I put the words "I think", to reflect my opinion (vs my stating a fact) that it is a misprint. What data do you have that Scholastic intentionally created a discrepency between the name and number of the online and virtual version of these cards? You indicate that Scholastic did make a mistake in the printing of card 405 (I agree with you on this) because the number on the card does not agree with the number unlocked virutally. Why do you think that 405 is a misprint but 400-403 are not? What possible reason could there be other than error? Do you honestly believe that there is some clue or mystery that can be unlocked or resoned out by "solving the puzzle" of this mismatch?

I do not beleive that Scholastic made any sort of puzzle to search for "missing cards". This game is focused on children as young as 6. To get all of these "400+" cards/codes you need to either have contacts in or be able to travel to different areas of the globe (something very few children are going to be able to manage effectivly).

In my opinion (and I say opinion here because I don't work for Scholastic and don't konw for sure, not because I don't beleive it is true) the physical versions that I have of cards 400-403 that unlock cards 413-416 are misprints. They should have been numbered 413-416 (or they should have had a different code printed on the card... either way, a misprint). The error might stem from the fact that Scholastic, for some reason, has chosen to make redundant versions of most of the "400+" cards and there seems to be some mixup on either the code or the numbering/title of the card where it's "twin" was applied. If every other card printed so far has the same title and number physically as virtually (again with 405 the only other exception that everyone seems to agree is a misprint) and there is the fact that there is a very easy explanation to indicate the reson for the mixup (the "twined cards"), why are you inisiting that there is some deeper meaning without any fact or theories or data to support this?

Here is what I think... I think that there is a seperate code that will unlock the virtual cards 400-403 (just like we have found seperate cocdes for 405/411 and 406/410). There may or may not be physical cards to go along with them, but in my opinion, there will be virtual codes. What data do I have to support my theory?

There are (currently) exactly 78 possible cards to unlock. Once you subtract the 55 you get from packs and the 6 from first book you are left with 17. The exact number of cards potentially in the range of 400-416
If there were some "mysterious" other cards that would be unlocked that would fill the void if cards 400-403 wern't "twined" with 413-416, then we would see them in the credits section of the website. We don't (and indeed, we see just the oppisite, that the photo credits seem to indicate that we have "twined" unlockable cards).
Since we have already found "twined" codes (405/411 and 406/410) it makes perfect, logical sence that the remaining 'twins" will also behave the same way.
There are no other cards that behave this way (unlocking a different card virtually than is printed physically... again other than 405 which everyone agrees is a misprint)
There is an easy explanation of why this error could have been made (the refrenced "twinned" card phonomonon)

I don't have any data to refute your theory, indeed I agree with it. However you stated it like it was a fact vs theory, and I was trying to discern if you had unlocked the card already and I just missed it (especially since someone else earlier claimed to have unlocked "the pup", which later turned out to be just a mixup). It sounds like it was just a theory, which I agree with (indeed you later quoted the same data points I listed).
