 		[SPEC] Is There A Pattern To The Silver Card Puzzles?
OK, bear with me here people. As we all know, many of the Silver puzzles pose no clear question, while some do. I believe that there is a pattern to them. The Silver Star Puzzle Cards (TLP, Syzygy Cube, and Shuffled) pose a clear question (what does proposition does this represent) etc. The Circle and Pixel sets do not pose a question, so far containing text, diagrams, or code, but no question. Just a thought.

 		heres a silver puzzle card question; why does matter have mass, and who can find and isolate the higgs boson or the graviton?

You may need a particle accelerator for this question, for more information contact CERN.

 		Cryptonomicon
Good evening,

I was thinking about this at work today. With what we know of the silver cards out, I would definitely think that Shuffled, Riemann and the 13th Labour are all themes out of Stephenson's book Cryptonomicon (Shuffled probably uses the Solitaire encryption, the Riemann Zeta Function (Riemann) was behind Arethusa, and I'm 90% sure the 'Secret Admirers' group uses/talks about the RC5 encryption method (The 13th Labour)).
So here's the question: Where do The Syzygy Cube, Elucidate, and TLP fit? It's not from Cryptonomicon, but should we be looking for a commonality between Rubik's Cubes, Wittgenstein, and whatever the (*&^ Elucidate turns out to be?

Thanks,

Loric

P.S. As a side note, I've forwarded the pic of Elucidate to an uber-geologist friend of mine. Hopefully he'll answer.

 		I think there is alsorts of patterns to these cards all across the board. Like what color the card is to wetha it has a map piece and what number the card is to wetha it has a Card Suite (Jack of hearts for example). yea, for sure i think the style of questions has a definite pattern to them.......

So..... what is the pattern for the card symbols? I see none. Such as Jack of Hearts is 13th labor. But how does that relate to say.. whipsmart wordsearch has a 4 of clubs. And dont say that it dosent pose a question (Oliver!) because some cards that dont pose a question don't have symbols. But maybe one day i'll email MC and see what they say about it. Maybe you guys should do the same!

 		Of course the card symbols have some meaning.
Each prime number card (with the card symbols on) carries parts of big lettering which, when put together gives some sort of clue.

There is also some conjecture that it helps with "Shuffled".
All this has been said before if you search for it.

As for emailing MC to see what they say, good luck.
They play their cards very close to their chest.
