On all the pages that have "Start" on them, the slanted-line-bar is different on each page ... I have a feeling that the position of the orange block is a clue.

What? No idea.

In the big kindle on page 46, all the missing letters in the text of "The Purloined Letter" spell out:

I just solved the puzzle. Once you have all the words, what you do with them is really clever!

If anyone needs a small nudge in the right direction, message me. I don't wanna give away too much in this thread. BTW, JJ abrams article is really good. And the magazine mentions ARGs a few times. This issue is totally in the spirit of these forums Smile

Just got to the end of the Magazine puzzle, and I must say, I'm not sure the payoff is worth the sheer time investment.

Yes, the solving is fun of course, and I appreciate the effort, but how hard would it have been to throw a little something our way?

Exclusive content ... video message from JJ ... anything would have been nice.

So for those still pursuing, enjoy the pursuit. Don't focus on the end. (which is rather in line with JJ's article, indeed.)

For the lost puzzle (which is separate), I doubt this will help, but if I let the numbers wrap around (AKA, "a" could be "1" or "27")
I get:

page 1:

Q A V P H F
T K R R J N
G G E R V G E F
X O L M A H

page 2:

D H R C N O
B E F K J M
D L F S B V E
B A M B Q A Q

so on bradicali.blogspot.com, Nick Tierce and Steven Bevacqua have made great progress with the Lost code! They used a vigenere cipher to get the page on the left.

It says:

I had a lot of fun with this puzzle, it's too bad I didn't know UF had a topic until I had solved it!

This Bevacqua guy must be a maniac. He solved the thing in a couple days and he's already taking on the biggest mystery.. amazing

Or very simply "hearkened" as in the past tense of a synonym for "hear"

And I really just noticed the plethora of hints in the ads and such on the "continued form page 508" Star Trek's Greatest Puzzle page

EDIT: Noticing the above hints, using the twisted wire code, the colorful "WIRED" on page 8 spells

I've got the issue! (Thanx, enaxor, you're great!)

Anyway, I'll write here about another things, but here the first impressions:
very awesome puzzles, and it seems to be more there hidden.

What do you think about these two weird ads at the page 129.
They looks very ARGish:
