Long time no post for me, but for a change im actually on top of things. Heres my take on the puzzle in the new puzzle. Upper right corner shows a mess of lines in a circle, now so far all items in Metzlers home have been used, all but the blank map of the abductions. I dont have the time or effort to do this but i believe if you super impose the mess of lines in that corner onto the map, and connect the lines to their corresponding abduction points several of the lines will go nowhere and will be ruled out, when all is said and done i think you will be left with the location of rapture!

The location of Rapture is the geometric center (the centroid) of the Frozen Triangle. If you plot the coords of Rapture and the approx coords of the Frozen Triangle, on google earth, you can see it quite clearly.

OOL's message here is that (without the aid of satellite navigation obviously) if you use a protractor and ruler, you can plot out the actual location of rapture in that huge ocean.

Good call on the location rapture. So, just a thought, but could the symbols or the map be a hint to the five by five alphabet grid? It had circles and triangles and upside down triangles, right? Just a thought, but I think we should look into that.

For those who want to solve the sliding circuitry puzzle i found it helps HUGELY to go from the bottom up as the top part needs to contain the empty spot at the end when its solved

EDIT: Also i am 100% sure that the audio track coming from the scanner has changed, almost unnoticeable but there are more voices that are audible over the usual transistor noise. (it would likely pick up even more clearly if mark shut the light above his desk off)

Those of you who are lazy like me, can go here for a "Rubix Tube Solving Walkthrough"

So, I found this and thought it was interesting. "Circling the square", according to wikipedia, refers to 1. literally drawing a square and circle with the same area with only a protractor and ruler, which is impossible. 2. an impossible endeavor. Now, this page also links to the longitude problem, when Britain was giving out a prize for a way to find longitude at sea. A famous book about the winner is called "Longitude: The True Story of a Lone Genius Who Solved the Greatest Scientific Problem of His Time" This is oddly similar to Lutwidge's diary's subtitle, no? Unfortunately, this book was written after the events of SitS, but the main character, John Harrison, was a very real person and lived before the 1960s.

Am I the only person that noticed the 2 pink rollerskates in the room?

I don't think those were there before...
