[6 PIC PUZZLE] Help find the solution This is where we discuss the clues provided and the possible solutions. We only have 4 out of 6 pics, but there is a separate thread where we can discuss where to find them. Please do not discuss the missing pics here, until they are found.
Also, there is a separate thread for posting all the WRONG answers you have tried. By doing this, instead of having dozens of posts asking "have we tried this?", we can simply search the wrong answer thread.
Here are the pics
Great summary here (Thanks Gwill!)

Here's a recap posted last night by NobleKain
To recap again... here's our leads.
Quote:
1:
10 10 10 + 10 10 10
1000 + 1000
2000
60
202020
101010101010
10001000
"A" (Binary conversion of 101010101010)
14660 = Rochester, NY
2:
N 37.1466 / W 115.4761
NW 37.1146-115.4761
-78.3615
N 37.1146 >> 11460.jpg ???
W-115.4761 >> 47610.jpg ???
29420 = somewhere in SC
3:
poppy
Papaver (family)
Represents Memorial Day >> "The poppies of "Flanders fields" are celebrated in a poem by John McCrae and are the Memorial Day emblem of World War veterans"
Need specific Species?
Related to Drugs?
Related to Food (Flour, Poppy seeds)
May 30 (Memorial day)
5/30
38914 = Big Creek, MS or somewhere near it
4:
4+3 D
7 D
70
"For 3D"
47610 = Chandler, IN
And We KNOW we need to find the other 2 pics... no need to repeat this. But until we find them, we can go with what we have. I know I am also looking for them. I'm sure others are too. However, someone (not gonna go back and check) made the point that the last two could be in places BESIDES forums. Like pehaps a coffee shop... or phone number... or something. The 4 pics could potentially lead us to those 2. Who knows?
EDIT: Another point... who says the last two "CLUES" are pictures. Verbatum: "I am in 6 places where you talk." Nothing about pictures. We just happen to have 4 of them. He could be elsewhere in a completely different form. Like a WORD. A Song, etc..

Can someone explain the 14660 being in Rochester?
Is it post codes?
I'm from the UK so I'm not sure what that means .

If you interpret them as post codes (zip codes), that is where they are.

A few observations about the 10 + 10 picture
-The drill pattern seems to be photoshopped.
-The barcode must be readable
-Some drillholes are dark and some seems to have a metal plate inside making them shiny. Can't tell if they are photoshopped in, but could be a pattern.

Yeah, they are clearly photoshopped.
Other places have been saying it looks like a space-invader.
There is a website space-invaders.com which is OOG but linked to from obeygiant.com from the last challenge.

Maybe the images posted on the forums/web are just like the 'rest' in the Call Yourself challenge,I mean maybe there there to distract us from the obvious.
Could the answer simple be a Item/person/thing that is in 6 diffrent places where people talk ?

the reason Obey the Giant and video games keep linking together is because he did some work on the Atari Retro game for the Nintendo DS...

also, D in the 3+4 pic could be a roman numeral [D = 500]. i said that in the other thread.

SPEC - game names Looks like a growing list of game names to me:
Space Invaders 2000
Area 51
Hunter: The Reckoning (?)
etc.
Just trying not to miss the obvious this time...

With the long/lat pointing to Nellis AFB and the picture of the poppies I tried google searching 'Nellis' and 'Poppy' together.
Is it just coincidence that there are lots of pages documenting how the poppy thrives at Nellis because no-one can go near them?
Perhaps the other two pictures/clues would narrow the search to a particular species?
just thinking out-loud.

Poppy seeds - positive drug test results
White hart - Jack the Ripper committed his murders in Whitechapel, London, stealing hearts of some victims, I think.
Werewolves - themselves, obviously
Coords, area 51 if you revers the - sign.
4+3 D = 7th Dimension (apparently what the snowflake on the mothership at area 51 uses, thanks google Wink ).
2000 = millenium bug.
URBAN LEGENDS, ish, the 7D one is weakest Smile.
I linked them all, I just need to find an answer now Smile
