I'm thinking someone needs to go at night, did anyone actually go at night? The clue says go quietyl, which could mean at night, the futures say 'get some sleep, don't stay up till sunrise' which points to the insomnia clue and to going at night, also this wonder is supposed to be the pharos lighthouse, and a lighthouse is used at night. There could be somekind of luminous message, or message in lights or other clue that would only appear at night.

whats makes you think its the lighthouse? cos it looks vagually like it? could be cleos needle or, cos its got a pyramid on top and they say look up, the pyramids, or it could be the modelled on the bell tower of st marks in venice (which it was).

Hi!
Am new to this and jumping in at the deep end, but, we have traced the co-ordinates using google map to NYC.

Someone mentioned that a postcard looked like a map on the back of the cards.....

Might there be something linked in to PPC itself as well? ie we have the information we need (either exact location, picture, text) from the real-world site, but it needs to be put together with something else?

Haven't seen anything about this is someone else has tried...and apologies if this isn't helpful. Still trying to get into the mindset!

Quick question - why does the transcript of the night message give the sequence as 131121132? I can only see it as 121132. Does that make a difference, or is there a part of the sequence that precedes the beginning of the transcript?

The initial 131 refers to the extension code you have to type in before you receive any options. After that it is 121132.

Hey all -

I really can't see the coordinates leading to anything other than the park. Not Mars, not constellations. . .not a chance. That is, the odds of any Earth coordinates pointing directly to an unobstructed public plaque are astronomical. This is it.

Is it possible that the coordinates which seemed to point to a 9/11 memorial were pointing us toward the 3p groupware site, i.e. REMEMBRANCE. Although, this site didnt go active until after the clapham common event, which gave us that adress anyway

but everything since and including manchester was hijacked by 3P
so we still dont know the "real" list of clues/words

I am using the 1-800 number and right now when I call the operator is asking for a passcode....did I miss something because I don't know what I should be using for the passcode....

Hey. Just tried the U.S. number from my cell phone and noticed something interesting...

At the end of the terminating messags, it "hangs up" and then goes to a repetitive beep. The thing is, on a cell phone when someone hangs up it simply disconnects, you will not get a repetitive beep like you would on a land line.

This leads me to believe the "beeping" is actually recorded. Don't know if this will make a difference but maybe there's more that can be done... i.e. wait long enough or enter the right series of digits during the beeping...


Something to add on to filmguy1013's report on the "beeping"....it always beeps 61 times before it actually hangs up the line.

Umm, yeah, this is weird..

Please enter the first digit of your three digit passcode...
Please enter the second digit of your passcode...
Please enter the third digit of your passcode...

Incorrect passcode. <HUP>

So, who's willing to go through the 1000 possibilities? I've tried 111, it didn't work. (nor did 333)

777 may strike lucky, you could also try 666, but expect death threats.

It's not 111-135, 333, 157 (numbers from Buried Secrets puzzle on clapham common).

Also, the number 0 gives the response "the option selected was not recognised"

Um, guys, you've completely confused me. Is there supposed to be something new? This passcode thing was from the Oct 22nd trail:

The Sleepers Awake

I called just now and everything worked as it had before.

If you go back to the start of the thread you'll see that if you rang in the day (out of office hours - they are an insomniac clinic) they gave you options and told you different extension numbers to call, namely 221, 131, 432 and 314. We tried these pass codes in working hours (ie at night) and got through to a puzzle that gave us those co ordinates that we never really worked out what we were sposed to do with em.
Then as Cassandra has mentioned, we got a new number 367, from the sculptor page as part of the live event online trail, which got us through to a weird story thing (transcribed at the start of the online trail thread) that gave us the keyword for the next part of the trail.
Having said this, I have no idea if those extensions/passcodes still work.
rach =)
