Not quite sure how this would fit, but googling 25:14 I got this and a couple of different Bible verses Matthew 25:14 and Ezekiel 25:14.

well i knew about symbols.com from previous ARGs....I was also looking at it earlier in this puzzle...i was just looking at the wrong symbols....so when Jack gave the numbers...i knew immediatly where to look....

which lead me to the answer

a news article about a murder from the Chicago Sun-Times ("myfriendisgone.jpg")

and an audio file

Hi, I've decided to jump in. Four questions:

1) Do you suppose it means anything that the banner ads are blacked out, the boat/RV ad has the name blacked out, but the Dell ad is intact? [Edit: Okay, the banner ads I was refering to are actually the Sun-Times logos. The boat/RV thing is suspicious, though. [Another edit: pegasus says that the blacked out part of the boat/RV thing probably says Chicago.]]

2) The weather in the screenshot is described as "lugubrious" (Webster's: mournful; doleful; dejected). That HAS to be a clue. Has this been noticed? [Edit: There's a painting called The Lugubrious Game: http://www.csulb.edu/~karenk/20thcwebsite/438final/ah438fin-Info.00047.html Probably a total coincidence, but worth mentioning.]

3) Those of you who signed up for the 360, did you have to include the solve in your email, or was the fact that you even had the address to send it to considered the solve in itself?

4) Is there a name for people playing this yet? If not, I suggest The Contestants.

blaqueice, nice solve. When I posted the 25:14 symbols link last night I couldn't figure out how it connected to all the Disney and rose clues. Now I see the clues were just vague references pointing us to "symbols".

Dang, It's just getting interesting and I'm unable to get on my computer for a while. I'll try to get on at school(like I am now) but I can't guarantee anything.

I told Jack I was going to look into Jason Young.

His reply:

As am I. The file that is in my posession does not hold any of his contact information or the name of the company that he works for (or even what it does). It could be government, it could be "small time". I really don't know.

I only found out about him working for a company that the company that I work for investigated once (and still is?) by looking at the names of past "clients". Sure, there are a lot of Jason Youngs' in the world, but how many of those know a Sarah Fisher and live in Kentucky?

I have no reason to believe, thus far, that the two are not one in the same.


Also, according to everything everyone has said, it sounds to me as if we are being given several places to pay attention to. Either these places are specfic locations whereby something will arise soon (such as the classified ads) or somehow they all tie together or both.

[smibbo]

the numbers could possibly coordinates?

also, this may be nuts but doncha think the names (acronyms) on the image alliteratively correspond to the locations named so far?

personally, I noticed the four groups of three rings more than anything but those might be part of the original (although I am not convinced)

3-rings
4 groups of rings

...?

[blaqueice]

the graffiti picture is done...the numbers are a reference to the star symbol...which is a symbol for "warning" which is the answer to the puzzle....you can look for more meanings in the picture if you want...but I guarantee you its a waste of time.

[Chewy]

Apparently Jack's got some more up his sleeve for the site.

[Myeerah]

Yeah, that part of the puzzle is done. We're waiting for the next puzzle now I'm sure.

Heres a recent msg I got from Kain:

[Whalewashingdolphin]

((Ack...sorry was away for a bit...but think I've caught up on the past week)) This is REALLY late but I received this from Jack 2 days ago, probably relating to the murder of his friend:

[smibbo]

so now there's another "job" in the works... wonder who's next?

[Myeerah]

Hmm and Kain is going 'overseas'...I wonder if that relates to whos gonna be next...
