Then why exactly 54 primes? so far no card has been seen twice. so it WILL be a complete deck with two Jokers when its done.

The Card solution may only be from the info on the card itself... but there is NO WAY This is a coincidence If its not explicitly used in the shuffled puzzle, then there is a sub puzzle connected to this somehow. If it was the message alone then Why the two jokers?... 4 cards per letter 54 cards is 2 extra cards.
So its not JUST the message either.

The ordering of these cards will be important...


PS: That being said im always wrong about every feeling i have about ARGs. These games freeking hate me...

[ryandrew]

surely the message itself IS the puzzle? The prime numbered cards make a deck, and when you place them in suit and number order, top to bottom, the corners spell letters.
Its a bit like looking at a wordsearch, solving it and asking where the puzzle is...

Where will the two jokers go though?

Either at the end, the start, or perhaps in place of a couple of other cards, thus possibly changing the message? That's how jokers are normally used, right? In place of another card you don't have......

[GasparLewis]

Perhaps they won't touch the Jokers, leaving them unmarked and altogether skipped. Then, the question could be to find the jokers and use those 2 primes somewhere down the line.

*shrug*

Beats me; I suppose we should wait for the next bunch of them and wait for the message to roll along.

Hi All, I noticed a link to this thread after starting the game this week and looking at the forum for interesting links not related to the individual card pzzles, and thought I'd let you know that I've found a card that doesn't fit in to the hypothesis.

#047 - Opposites Attract doesn't have a playing card symbol on it, yet does include the shading typical of the other cards.

This leads me to believe there are actually two puzzles here, one being the text, the other being the playing card connection.

On the subject of the cards, does anyone think there may well be a link to card #143 - Pocket Rockets, or any other playing card puzzle cards?

Hope my first post here wasn't too noob.

I've had to crash out of PerplexCity for a long time due to time constraints - just wondering if anyone is following my work at this puzzle since the new cards have came out?

Thought I'd bring things up to date with the confirmed letters from new cards.

The layout of cards we have so far is :

I wouldn't doubt that finding all the cards is exactly what is intended. Mind Candy isn't doing this out of the kindness of their collective heart - it's about selling cards and making money, loads of it (I know I've spent a million dollars already on cards and only have seen about 65 of them; I could pave Wal-Mart parking lot with my duplicates! Bought 200 cards today and found only 5 I didn't have).

As I understand it Mind Candy encourages trading cards which a good number of people have done. This is all part of the game, doing deals and building relations with other players builds the community.

I have also been to a swap meet at Fan Boy 3 where they encouraged card trading and also provided free refreshments to oil the wheels, despite the fact that selling cards and games pays their wages.

I'll be in the playground at Preston Mail Centre this Sunday to swap some cards. If you prefer to gamble we can play pitch and toss.

More cards. More letters. Anyone got some more info for this post?
