Back to the laissez-passer for a second; It looks like it means that CT can use this to travel anywhere in the UN's member countries, and can't be arrested, detained, searched, etc. See articles 6 and 7 of the Convention on the privileges and immunities of the united nations; http://www.un.int/usa/host_p-i.htm

I'm pretty sure that it was issued in New York (UN HQ), though Geneva and Vienna are the two other issuing offices. You can see the form that needs to be filled out to get one of these, here: http://www.un.org/depts/tts/docs/tts2-e.doc. Looks like it would need a fair amount of false information to pass muster.
Alternately; what if it's just a forged laissez-passer? Either way it means CT doesn't have to worry about getting around.

The real question is: Did CT leave the Cube in New York??

Interesting:

"UN Laissez-passer
This allows the holder to travel to the United Kingdom on official business without a national passport or entry clearance. However when holders travel to the UK for any other reason, they should use their national passports (and visas will be required by visa nationals)."
http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/servlet/Front?pagename=OpenMarket/Xcelerate/ShowPage&c=Page&cid=1034348270424
but:
"12. I have a UN Laissez-Passer; is this valid for travel to the U.S.?

The passport is valid for travel to the U.S. only if the holder is destined to the U.N. and is in possession of a valid G-4 visa. The UN Laissez-Passer is an emergency travel document and should only be used in special circumstances. "

Could it possibly be another (and I am using that term loosely, in the sense that there has been previous spec on this in another thread) Around the World in Eighty Days allusion - laisser-passer (let me pass) - the character who accompanies Fogg is Passepartout (go anywhere) - similar meaning (and language)...

Just a passing thought.

Any chance the numbers relate to the number strings that I have so fondly been working with?

In a risk analogy - could they by the numbers of armies played and lost? Or moved into a territory? That seems wrong though, because none of them have the number 1 ..

I'm sure these numbers correlate in some way with the number strings. I think the shapes may do as well ( I mean correalate with the shapes we have already.) I think the shapes are there to tell us that, yes, these numbers are related to what we already know. Maybe a clarification -not an addition per se.

Have fun with this.

(Note: remember that GuyP said we already had all the info we needed to find the Cube but that players should keep an eye on thelibraryofbabel site. )

Is it possible to divide the PPC map into 42 territories? I don't know, I don't want to keep just throwing ideas out there without any more time to work on them. OF course the simplest thing is to just pair them up with the number pairs in the same order we already have them and see where it might take us.

What about the numbers relating to time? The time elapsed? I'm confused about that.

Although it's probably completely irrelevant, the first thing I thought of when I saw those three shapes was some of the Venetian carnival masks (especially the plague doctor ones).

The cube was stolen in january '04 so it's not that.

What did happen on November 23rd, 2003?

Also the hours and the minutes aren't exactly 1095 days....like he is trying to tell us the exact hour and minute of an event....

CT says:
1095 days
26297 hours
1577846 minutes

based on the page's last edited time of 15:01 PM today, and using my maths:
1095 days ago was 11/23/2003
26297 hours ago was 11/22/2003 22:01
1577846 minutes ago was 11/22/2003 22:36

(EDIT: adjustment)
