 		There may be better apps for this elsewhere, but... If you want to search for a word or phrase in the known text, feel free to use find_it. It's not pretty, but it works.

If anyone wants the source or has comments or questions, feel free to contact me.

 		Good find, thats very helpful. You can also use www.onelook.com to search for words that may fit in certain sections. Use * for an unknown set of letters or ? for one unknown letter. For example, if you were going to search for what could go in L__AT_ON, you would search "l??at?on". If you wanted to find words beginning with ELE you could search "ele*".

 		Those people that joined / formed the UK gaming forum team haven't submitted the codes yet. Still waiting on them.

There are still heaps of codes missing tho. The longer the wait is the further I think the chance is of finding out what the message is..

Anyways.. from what I can gather it appears to be a message with a location and time/date etc.. another Abbey road perhaps??

*crosses fingers*

What would be more worrisome is if it refer's to the 9th of May which is in a few days =/


Actually, starting at position 18 or so, I'm gonna go with "at an elevation of twelve ft 9 in" Razz

I much prefer this "be at the location of the pub at 9 "

God, i hope the UK team isn't filching off of us to try to gain advantage. I would hope we are WAY too early for that type of behavior since the actual puzzle cards aren't even out yet. Not that I personally have been all that much help yet, but speaking for UF. Smile

 		Oh we're Okay if this is correct for the first 57 characters . . . Wishful spoiler:

I know the Ascendency point is only 1.3 km tall, but context is still in flux. Anything's possible! Smile Come on USPS I need a new letter!

 		I've updated my find_it.php tool so that it does the bulk of the work in JavaScript instead of php. This makes it a lot faster and easier to use. Hope that helps.

 		I'm sure if we don't recieve all the codes Sente will have another way of getting the message through.

I just hope they award points to those who gave back towards the community. i.e. have MC take the letters we have (as they know who the 333 are and what codes they have) and award those people via the ranking system.

Worse comes to worse we have 30% of the message. Which isn't so bad to determine what the rest says.. given that we have been trying to crack the magical 24 digit number.. at the very least - we know what we need to do with this =)

DEAR SIR,

WITH DUE HONOUR AND RESPECT. I AM DR.LUCAS AZUMAH. THE DIRECTOR IN CHARGE OF AUDIT AND ACCOUNTS UNIT, FOREIGN REMMITTANCE DEPARTMENT OF THE UNION TOGOLAISE DE BANQUE (UNION BANK) LOME-TOGO IN WEST AFRICA.

I GOT YOUR CONTACT ADDRESS RECOMMENDED BY TOGOLAISE BUSSINESS CONSULTANT. ELDER JOHN KAFUI AND I DECIDED TO CONTACT YOU FOR BENEFICIAL AND A 100% RISK FREE TRANSACTION. DURING OUR AUDITING AND INVESTIGATIONS IN THIS BANK, MY DEPARTMENT CAME ACROSS THE SUM OF ONE HUNDRED AND TWO SENTE CODES(102), BELONGING TO A FOREIGN INTERNATIONAL BUSSINESS MAN WHO LOST AN ARTIFACT THAT WAS VERY PRECIOUS TO US. BEFORE OUR DISCOVERY TO THIS DEVELOPEMENT, THERE WAS NO TRACE OF CLAIM FROM ANY PERSON AS THE CUBE REMAINS DORMANT IN ////\.

ALTHOUGH I KEEP THIS INFORMATION SECRET WITHIN MY JURIDICTION TO ENABLE US PUT CLAIMS AND TRANSFER THE SAID AMOUNT THROUGH A TRUSTWORTHY FRIEND OVERSEAS WHOM WE SHALL PRESENT TO THE BANK AS THE BONAFIDE APRENTICE TO THE MAN NAMED SENTE FOR A PROFITABLE AND SUCCESSFUL DEAL. MEANWHILE, ALL THE ARRANGEMENT TO PUT CLAIMS AS THE BONAFIDE APRENTICE TO THE MASTER GET THE REQUIRED APPROVAL AND TRANSFER OF THESE CODES HAS BEING PUT IN PLACE. THE DIRECTIVES AND THE NEEDED INFORMATIONS WILL BE RELAYED TO YOU AS SOON AS YOU INDICATE YOUR INTEREST AND WILLINGNESS TO BENEFIT YOURSELF FROM THIS GREAT BUSSINESS OPPORTUNITY. INFACT WE COULD HAVE DONE THIS DEAL ALONE BUT BECAUSE WE CIVIL SERVANTS ARE HASTY AND HUNGRY FOR ANSWERS - WE ARE ALLOWED TO OPERATE FOREIGN ACCOUNTS AND IT WILL EVENTUALLY RAISE EYEBROWS ON OUR SIDE DURING THE TIME OF TRANSFER BECAUSE WE ARE STAFFS OF THE BANK.

THESE ARE THE ACTUAL REASONS IT REQUIRES A SECOND FELLOW WHO WILL FORWARD CLAIMS BY OUR SUPPORT AS THE BONAFIDE APRENTICE TO THE MASTER NAMED SENTE WITH THE TOGOLAISE COURT AFFIDAVIT TO THE BANK (ERM.. WE NEED MORE CODES) AND ALSO PRESENT A FOREIGN BANK ACCOUNT WHERE THE MONEY ON HIS\HER REQUEST WILL BE RE-TRANSFERED INTO.

ON CONCLUSION OF THIS TRANSACTION, YOU WILL BE ENTITLED TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE LENGTH OF A PIECE OF STRING AND TOTAL OF MYSTERIES AS GRATIFICATION. 30% OF THE TOTAL CODE WILL BE USED REIMBURSE EXPENSES THAT MIGHT ARISE FROM TELEPHONE BILLS AND OTHER EXPENSES DURING THE TRANSACTION. WHILE 70% WILL BE FOR ME AND MY PARTNERS HERE. PLEASE YOU BEEN ADVISED TO KEEP THIS INFORMATION AS A TOP SECRET AS WE ARE STILL IN SERVICE AND INTEND TO RETIRE FROM SERVICE AFTER WE CONCLUDE THIS DEAL WITH YOU.

I WILL BE MONITORING THE WHOLE SITUATION HERE IN THIS BANK UNTILL YOU CONFIRM THE CODES IN YOUR ACCOUNT. WE WILL THEN COME DOWN TO YOUR COUNTRY FOR OUR SUBSEQENT SHARING OF THE FUND ACCORDING TO THE PERCENTAGES PREVIOUSLY INDICATED AND FOR INVESTMENT IN ANY COUNTRY YOU MAY ADVISE US TOO.

ALL OTHER NECESSARY INFORMATION WILL BE SENT TO YOU WHEN I HEAR FROM YOU. I SUGGEST YOU GET BACK TO ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE STATING YOUR WISH IN THIS DEAL.

YOURS FAITHFULLY,

DR.LUCAS AZUMAH
DIRECTOR AUDIT AND ACCOUNTS UNIT
FOREIGN REMMITTANCE DEPT.
UNION TOGOLAISE DE BANQUE
10.BP.3591 LOME
REPUBLIC OF TOGO - WEST AFRICA.

 		with the addition of 10 = M to the wiki, looks like the beginning of the code says (IMO, anyway), "It is now time to reveal the location of...[the first 9 something-or-others. characters in a letter? stores?]"

okay, the cube?
