Can we get a transcription of the card please?! Can't read the text.
Also, The back is very interesting. Is this a part of the town that hasn't been rebuilt since the war maybe?

Jo
To transcribe this card will take some time.
Let me just say there are a lot of numbers so you will have to wait.
But throw in some ideas
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
My first instinct is mybe one of those London sightseeing bus tours
Maybe co-ordinates on a 3d diagram?
examples
3003 (0,11,0) 3021 (8,3,0) 3003 (3,20,1) 3003 (8,6,0) 3001 (12,19,0)
First numbers from each list
They appear to be in some kind of order
JJ

My first instinct was that it was where Miranda blew up Kurt's apartment... Or am I in completely the wrong area there?

Also each different colour could be a different set. Possibly this all spells out a word when plotted in the correct order.

Any good suggestions for a program to plot these points on?
(preferably free!)
I've surfed for some but alas yet to find a good straightforward program.
Been on Download.com tried a few etc...
Excel 2000 Just not good enough
Cheers
JJ

Ok, I typed in the numbers from the card, if this is a violation of MindCandy policy then someone delete it or let me know and I will.
The numbers are in an excel sheet, tabbed by color.
The card has green, blue, black, white, gray
They are in this format on the card.
example: 3003 (1,2,3)
Column A: 3003
Column B: 1
Column C: 2
Column D: 3
If you have ideas, pm me, put'em up here, who knows.

Great job dmatos for tabbing that, one thought, could this be some kind of profit loss-gain for a company? One could be stock price, sales, day ect.
Also any Ukers wanna go for the Von hint? And whats the solve page like??

If this turns out to be what I *think* it is, we're going to be 'building' something else...

The solve page asks "Where?" with a one line text box.

You mean to say that this is a lego parts list? Cause it doesn't look like the .dat or .ldr file format...

Another thought:
All of the first numbers are all asteroid designations (3003 Koncek, 3007 Reaves, 3002 Delasalle, 3008 Nojiri, etc) the other digits could then be 3D coordinates? Not thought of anything for the colours yet.

I've been lookin around for some 3d prototyping / milling software and tried a few, but they do not seem to use anything like the number format we have on this card. Perhaps CAD 3d modelling is not what we are looking for.
I like the idea that this is a lego parts list, we could all be off to Toys Am We for supplies!
