 		How does the title factor into it? Even Jupiter's surface temp isn't that high.

 		If the answer is what I think it is, then ramsfan, you were indeed right when you said I was SO close!

Locked out until 2 hours from now.


In two hours, if you hear what sounds like a body thumping up against a wall at high speed...that was me.

I still think it's just a clever way of naming the card Jupiter. Going on the idea that

The second comma (at the end of the title) leads me to list other units for this temperature:

This card has the following corrections: The card name should be "C. 277.85, F. 532.13," (Last Updated: 2006-08-01 10:19:58 GMT)
it follows that K. 551 is the next temperature in sequence. K. 551 being the Köchel number of the music piece sometimes called "Jupiter"

 		Take the gut instinct. That is what i should have done....

My first 2 guesses were the correct answer, however, i didn't put the 2 guesses together.

If you are a complete loss, PM me and I will do my best to give you clue, that will give you the answer.

edit:
Had I remembered that putting any an, and, the, etc in the front would have given me an incorrect, I would have placed higher than 22. But hey! I am so freakin relieved this card is behind me.

 		Can anyone post a scan of the map on the back of this card? It's the only one still missing from perplexcitymap.com.

 		I'm getting lots of requests for hints on this, and I have now submitted a hint for "Silvers, for slow starters" listed on the silver page of this forum index.

I suggest that you take a look at that hint (after RandOm has posted it), and then PM me if you are still completely in the dark.

Remember that someone on this forum has already posted the tool to help you. Take a look at that. See what you can between that "thing" and "my hint".

The answer box, as I said 2 posts ago, I was SO close, requires 2 words. Those 2 words is a play on the answer. Think about it. Do a bit more research on those moons individually.

As I also have posted on my profile page for Perplexcity, my favorite quote:

What is hidden in plain sight, is hidden best.

It's there and, just for good measure, Fretty added another one on page two of the thread between Cinana sending hers and me posting it (darn time zones).

 		Map
What about the map in the background? It looks somewhere like Europe, but not realistically. Other than tha the numbers are placed from 1-16 in no particaular order. maybe its a connect the dots.
