since we're at a slow patch in the brainstorming, does anyone still think that the na-ca.gif string of nonsense is truly a "clue" or puzzle in and of itself?

well I don't know what the P is for (pm?), but N/E obviously north/east... the fact the #'s are only 1-3 for ALL P/N/E values is interesting... N is from 1 - 3, E is only 0 or 1.

P = Point of origin?

**Posted:** Tue Sep 14, 2004 3:41 pm

Dorkmaster

Is P for pencil or Point of origin? It just doesn't make sense that we've got puzzles with SOME sort of clue-in, by the SP, but not this one... we have to incorporate one of those phrases to make this "click"...

(I know... gold stars for DM for pointing out the obvious)

ok so we can be fairly certain then, that the Point of origin clue is pertaining then to the PNE puzzle!
