 		Actually, after a quick Google it appears the phrase used as the latin form of BC is "Ante Christum Natum".

 		with reference to seal
going on the assumption that the names on the seal are in alphabetical order i would guess that the two missing names begin with letters that lie between C and N and could quite possibly be D and K?( i cant get a good enougth resolution on my graphics packages to get anything better than a vague guess as to the shapes of the letters)

therefore the names list as(as i make it):

Adamek
Carri..........?
D?
K............een?
Noi
Taversen
Zeller (edited: miss-spell)

Like wise on the address at the bottom of Sente's letter it looks like the last two letters b4 one taversen square are 'ny'

This is my first post. so i don't know if it will be of any help

Zeller? Smile

Also u can take a firm guess at the address being "City Academy, Taversen Square, Old Town, Perplex City" or summat to that nature Smile

Actually, although ACN is one way to denote "Before the Birth of Christ" AC or "Before Christ" is also used just as I posted.

-----------------------------------------------

A.C., B.C. and B.C.E. - for the Latin Ante Christum, the English Before Christ and Before Common Era, respectively. In all cases, years count backward from the year 1 A.D. or, equivalently, 1 CE. Note that there is no year "0". (Note: There is a year 0 if negative numbers are used, so that the year -25 CE is the same as the year 26 BCE)

------------------------------------------------

Originally the two periods of time were considered by Christians as AC and AD – abbreviations for two Latin terms, "Ante Christum" (before Christ)[/b] and "Anno Domini" (in the year of the Lord). Later the English-speaking world replaced the Latin AC with BC (before Christ) while maintaining the AD.

-------------------------------------------------

The Christian era was introduced c.527 by Dionysius Exiguus, a Scythian monk resident at Rome. He made its starting point the birth of Christ, which he reckoned to have been in the year 753 from the foundation of Rome, making this the first year of his era. This year and those following are designated as A.D. (Anno Domini, in the year of the Lord), and the years before Christ are designated as A.C. (< lang="la">ante Christum, before Christ) or B.C. This system was not general in Europe until after 1000.

 		I thought BC was before cube, and AC after cube? And that they live in another galaxy, i.e. old town, becuase of all this emotion and hand scanning. Anyway:

Sorry if this has been bought up before, but the address Taversen sounds German. But to my real point: On the www.perplexcity.com/indexB.html thing on the bottom right where we see the letter with Sente's seal on it we can see a note, is it the same note that is in the photgraph above it with 'london' and the 959 number, becuase if it is someone might be wanting to find out how much money the notes worth and maybe get one and inspect it, i know i can't, lol. The objects all might have been assembled on one table, then photographed individualy and split into six....

FWIW, the note is a UK 50 pound note, and yeah it does look like the money is next to the letter in that picture.

Has anyone analysed the images for hidden text yet?

 		Icons Directory at Perplexcity.com
http://www.perplexcity.com/icons/

Haven't seen it mentioned yet, but it contains the "unknown" and the "back" icons for the errorlog page.

I couldn't make naything of it, but then again, I didn't have the time to look at all of the icons.

Someone want to start looking?

[EDIT: This was supposed to be a new topic, not sure what happened. That being said, this looks like pretty standard behind the scenes (Apache?) stuff. Plus, the most recently changed ones are in August of 2002.

I suspect there's nothing there. Confused ]

 		Project Syzygy site
Has anyone figured out what the pictures on the old project syzygy site are of? I was just thinking this might be a clue to help intepret the perplex city site. Also, I don't think it's random that the pic of the letter from Sente on the indexb page frames "find the collegues" It's just too perfect to be coincedence. If we're looking for the collegues, the most obvious place is in London. The pic of the 50 quid note has to be a clue. (especially considering that it looks like it's next to Sente's letter in the bottom right pic) Has this already been covered?

Good point, has anyone checked for steg in any of the pictures we have. Might as well since there seems to be nothing else to crack. I'd do it, but I'm a lover, not a fighter. Laughing

 		Started to destegg the images of the main project page, letter, indexB and the Marchant letter. Not getting anything, though I also don't have the first clue as to where to look for a passphrase, nor do I have any destegging programs save for Camoflauge. Confused

I'll keep working on it.

 		Perplexity
Has anyone checked out www.perplexity.net?
There's a disturbing picture which I wouldn't think would be ingame.
However, when you look at www.perplexity.net/icons/ you get the exact same icon list as www.perplexcity.com/icons/

Am I reading to much into this?
