carnage, perhaps? (as in, 'we went to the pub last night for a quick drink and it ended up being total carnage')

[Edit: ok beaten to that one by Paul and RI_Barnica]

there was also a philosopher called Rudolph Carnap - see his wikipedia entry here

Carna...

Nobody's mentioned it yet but they look like the pleasurecards IMO.

What's a pleasurecard?

[Mikeyj]

Wrong size and shape, pleasurecards surprisingly tiny, but they may well get them to print them for them...pleasurecards have quite a high output potential which won't be being used by the members yet, as there aren't that many. In which case they would be pleasingly tough and you'd be able to put them through the washing machine without damaging them.

It's another Michael Smith project - invitation only card thing. pleasurecard

I can't remember exactly how it was found in the beginning if you search you should be able to find all the stuff. For quite along time there has seemed to be some connection just not sure what. There was actually a card with perplex city on it in their samples.

Hmm random thing, I don't know if anyone's noticed this yet... If you go to www.firebox.com and search for "perplex" or "cube" the result is ""The //\\\\\\ Cube" - "Nihil obstat scientia" - Zeller", and if you click more it brings you here to an unfiction forum...

im on my way out - but DEAR GOD, This is hotting up rather quickly - I hope i'll be able to make a much more interesting post this evening when I return - who knows where we could be then lol!

A couple of notes on the card snippets we can see:

• The flags are: Wales, Oman, Estonia, Israel, Djibouti, Turkey(?), Ukraine, Spain, Sweden and Greece
  
• The 'Illogical' card has the text:
  

  Quote:

  Between all the distractions and parties at university, I did manage to fit in a few experimental psychology lectures. One of the most interesting things I learned was how at heart, people aren't as logical as they think. Try this problem: Each of these cards has a letter (A or K) on one side and a number (2 or 7) on the reverse. If I told you there was a rule that a card with A on one side will have a 2 on the reverse, which two cards would you turn over to find out if the rule was true?

  
  Now, I know a puzzle similar to this - so I suspect the three cards are an 'A', a '2' and a '7'. The answer is:
  

  Spoiler (Rollover to View):

  The 'A' and the '7'. Why? Because turning over the '2' tells you nothing. If it has an 'A' on the other side it provides a little supporting evidence but you could have got that by turning over the 'A'. If it doesn't have an 'A' on the other side - well that proves nothing. 'A's must have '2's on them but not necessarily the other way around. Turning over the 'A' will provide immediate proof that the rule is false if the other side is not a '2' - and turning over the '7' will provide proof that the rule is false if the other side is an 'A'. Neither of these will prove the rule to be true - but they give you the best chance of finding an exception.

Edit: The above solution is similar to Seej's - except that he's missed that the 'K' can't have an 'A' on the other side as the setup says each card has a letter and a number on it.

[Seej]

Well, that was some good guesswork by me

EDIT: oh yeah, should have been an A, a 2 and a 7. Oh well, my reasoning still worked.

BTW - how desperate for a solve are we?

[smile]

is it not strange its titled ' the scarlett kite ' at the bottom of the catalogue? also - I wonder what inbetween those lines that we're supposed to read - seems like lots of mini puzzles - woo!

Sorry, double post.
