there are people collecting images of the postcards (they appear to be unique) on a facebook page here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/BBC-Code-Crack-the-Code/136280116456670?sk=wall&filter=1
although imo it's not the best venue for hosting such a discussion (i'm not sure a single thread here would be anything other than unweildy either) so if anyone has any suggestions/forum space/wiki space...?

And just one more reason I wish I lived in the UK. You guys get all the cool stuff.

Stupid BBC America. *kicks rock*

(Full disclosure - I'm a PM on The Code!)

elvenkayt: You know, almost all of the clues to the hunt are available on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLABE41A0C254CD1D5 - and you don't need the postcards to play, so you can pretty much do everything (other than win the prize, unfortunately!)

It's a good time to start because we've just released the 'Ultimate Challenge' phase of the treasure hunt, which is an 84 page book of puzzles with everything from easy mazes, Sudoku and trivia to very tricky brainteasers. If you like puzzles (or indeed, Perplex City!) then you'll love this.

You can download it from http://www.bbc.co.uk/tv/features/code/about/challenge/ although you will need the three Codebreaker passwords. They're not too difficult to get, and if you get stuck, you can always try asking on our Facebook group at http://facebook.com/bbccode

Would love to see the Unfiction crowd take on The Code... Smile

The postcards look to be cross sectional slices of the prize which is pictured here

The ultimate challenge is HUGE - if anyone wants the password to it, and can't be bothered to work them out, well - pah - but PM me for it - won't spoiler it as its worth the effort...
