 		[UPDATE] Small Update perplexcity.com (10th May)
I went to www.perplexcity.com and there's been an update on the main page.. just a picture of a notice on a tree with the writing 'Lost: The Cube, Reward £100,000 perplexcity.com'

I'm going to check out the site to see if anything else has changed now.. I'll repost if I see anything else

Edit: Topic - Wishi-san

 		Clickon, takes you through to sente's most recent letter from the 333 packs with some links highlighted, and an e-mail box for where us lucky earthlets can part with our wonga for the cards.

 		My wonga is going NOWHERE near! Shocked

This seems to be window-dressing for the posh people who're going to come by. The whole picture's link rather than a little itty bit of it, so they don't miss.

 		The site with the letter from Sente has changed too hasn't it?
I didn't think that had the reward stickers on it. Correct me if I'm wrong

 		just a thought, i cant see anything in the source code that would suggest it unless theres a very swifty re-direct going on somewhere, but anyway,
do non-ukers still get the uk pic with the sticker with the pound on? was wondering if there was some sort of automatic ip thingy that would show each nationality their relevant sticker. probably not but thought id ask. if not, there should be! lol

I don't think it's a tree. It looks more like a sticker stuck on a lamp post. By the looks of the roofing and chimneys in the distance, I would say it is in England some where?

 		Puzzle cards
Is it me, or have the puzzle cards link changed?

There are new puzzle cards that I don't recognise from the ones discussed in the puzzle threads.

It looks like the same image that has been there since the Sente letter first appeared on the Perplex City site, which basically a large version of the image on the Firebox catalog page for the cards.

 		...and is that a map below the sticker? I see what looks like a coast line and the out line of the letter 'U'. Is it possible to tell if the image has been photo shopped? As in, is it a constructed image or a photo taken in situ?
*edit* oh and no Spugmeistress we in Oz see the pounds *edit*

 		I don't care if it's meant to exist somewhere or not, it looks mighty cool to me.

 		It appears to have been edited in photoshop, but there's no way to tell what has been edited. Most likely just the black border added. The sticker below the PPC one is most likely something they just tore off before taking the picture so that they didn't advertise for whatever it was.

 		To me the image with the sticker on the lamp post looks to be done in a 3D package. Thhe specular hghlights look too crisp.

I'm in the US. My parcel contained all four stickers that you see on the second page of perplexcity.com, but my Yen sticker just says "LOST.THE CUBE reward:" and then has the picture background with no numbers, currency, or URL on it. When I go to the new front page of the website, I see a picture of a pole with the 100,000 pounds sticker on it. So no, no IP stuff.

 		Anyone else believe it might be stuck to a perplexian lampost? I have no idea why they would stick one up over there but the skyline and style made me think it might be a glimpse of the world on the other side.

I don't think it's perplex city, but it would be rather Narnian of them to do so with such a reference Wink
