If you move the dice on the far right, you get two dice, one with 2 dots, one with 8. What is 51? Let's find out... E-Mail sent...

What was the trailhead, by the way?

Spotted that, the twitter is pretty active. Got a reply to my e-mail, btw:

Dice changed... One with 1 and one with 8.... Countdown?

Edit: I got it! If you move the dice on the right to the locations they briefly flash to you get a countdown a 1 3 dice pair and a 1 8 dice pair. Move the dice on the left to about the locations the right ones used to be at and you get dice 2 3 then 2 8 then finally the bottom opens a window to the twitter...
We have a riddle!

Add the numbers up on the dice, you get 10, 5, 4, 9 which spells JEDI.

Hmm. probably coincidence

hmmm... also, just to note, they're not typical die, since, well, there's no 8 on a 6 sided dice. That's more the domino '8' layout.

interesting, nonetheless...

I think I'll try following this one, looks interesting. It's been awhile since I've arged but I figured it's time to try again!

Has anybody tried sending in a picture of 51 yet? Just curious to see what kind of response they got...I'm thinking I might try to get one in later on today. 51 puzzle pieces should fit the bill...

FYI: The page makes reference to a specific date - September 4, 2009 12:00:00

They also have a Twitter account...

http://twitter.com/whatis51

...which seems to be getting a lot of chatter.
