The Join reply:

Thank you for your application to the Chronological Protection Agency. We are currently processing applications and will send you more information soon.

(For the right amount, anyone can be stopped)


So we have two references to "stopping" someone or something (corporation). I assume Eden isn't working for this group. I'm gonna send her what I got and see what she says.

EDIT: Except for the bit at the bottom of the application message.

 		e-mail
The bit at the bottom of the application that said "anything we need to know?" Well when I joined, as a joke, I put "the cake is a lie." Shortly I got the email reply and just like elitepastafa and aquarius904, the ending message was different.

Quote:
(what you said about the cake, is that because it's layered?)


Obviously this isn't a clue like aquarius904's message but it was quite funny so I thought I'd share it!

Also, elitepastfa, did your message say anything relevant?

 		I actually didn't have any message at the bottom of the Join message.

"Thank you for your application to the Chronological Protection Agency. We are currently processing applications and will send you more information soon."

that's it.
Incidentally, I also left the "Anything we need to know?" field blank. I wonder if that has anything to do with this.

 		I've sent an email asking for more information. I'm sure that I'll get the same responses that the rest of you have, but if something is different, I'll let you guys know. Has anyone directed Eden to the CPA site? Maybe she knows what corporation the email is referring to.

Yeah, I sent her an email giving her a heads up on the CPA site. No response from her yet though.

 		New post on the blog. Looks like we still need one more point. I'm not sure where it is yet, but I'm certain we'll figure it out. As a reminder, here's the original riddle:

Quote:
Crossroads

A place where two road cross

Indeed, but also this and this and this.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossroads

You are here

You are there

What is your next step?

To the left is one choice

To the right is another

You can also go to the yellow cactus

So your choices are:

four dimensions
three dimensions
two dimensions

 		FYI I think it is uniformly accepted that the 4th dimension is time.

 		Ah! I didn't think about that! It's starting to make more sense now!

We are at a crossroads. We can go left, right, or to the Yellow Cactus.

The Yellow Cactus is a painting, right? So its in two dimensions.

It stands to reason that the museum hint was either left or right, and due to the connection with the CPA, it is likely the reference to four dimensions.

The last choice we have is three dimensions. This seems to me to be either a person or a physical object, maybe even a place. Lets see if we can't figure that one out while we wait for more on the CPA end.

EDIT: Also, because of these lines from the riddle
Quote:
Crossroads

Indeed, but also this and this and this.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossroads

I believe that there is something on that page -besides- the definition of Crossroads. three other things, actually. What they are, I'm not sure, but if anyone has a chance, you might wanna check it out. I gotta sleep because of classes in the morning, but I'll try to look into it tomorrow.

EDIT EDIT: Not certain, but did anyone ever ask her to look into that bit with the town Crossroads? I'm thinking it might be a possibility for the 3D answer

 		gonna try and help with my first post....be gentle.

Not to oversimplify, but the two landmarks I noticed (via google maps) that seem to make a "triangle" with the Art Museum and Dealey Plaza seem to be the American Airlines Center or Dallas' City Hall (as well as a couple of parks)...didn't notice any museums that would complete a triangle, but I know next to nothing of Dallas...

Yes, I emailed her a while back suggesting to stop by Crossroads, TX which is under an hour away from Dallas.

Also I agree with your other statement:

 		Thinking about things:

    To the left is one choice
    To the right is another
    You can also go to the yellow cactus


Passwords:

    Safe
    Dead
    Lie
    Peanut



    zenwvefh + safe = heisdead
    killyiszkirhgiagpinoli + dead = HE LIVES WHERE DEAD MEN LIE
    mcxywjwmwszsea + lie = BUT NO FLESH ROTS


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossroads
Crossroads (mythology), in folk magic, a location "between the worlds"

Quote:
In folk magic and mythology, crossroads may represent a location "between the worlds" and, as such, a site where supernatural spirits can be contacted and paranormal events can take place. Symbolically, it can mean a locality where two realms touch and therefore represents liminality, a place literally "neither here nor there", "betwixt and between".


Ted could possibly be in purgatory or some such location.


...but then again, I do tend to over-analyze a situation.

 		That's good thinking, but didn't we find Ted already?

 		CPA
I'm not sure why I replied to the CPA but since they liked my cake reference I thought I would joke around some more.
Here is what I sent:
Quote:
Why yes, I do believe layers has something to do with it.
Does the CPA have any 'layers?'


Here is their reply... and it's creepy:
Quote:
More than you can imagine.


Also, we did figure Ted out but we can possibly use Jubilus' suggestions for the third location. Hopefully Eden figures something out or the CPA sends an email.
