I'm looking at it in FF2, and it looks fine from here

quick question (maybe) -
how did you know where it was? i've never come across any clues. did you just wake up go "ahh, its in this area!"

to be honest, i thought it was in a place where everybody had a chance of finding it, not just the people who lived in that county.

that is all.

well done

what are you going to spend the money on?

I'd just like to add my voice of thanks to Random for his execellent description of his journey to finding the cube. As I actually live in Northamptonshire I decided to take a trip earlier today to Wakerley Woods and with the descriptions given easily found my way to the hole dug by Rand0m. I guess it was kind of the end of a journey for me, a surprising one as I always assumed the cube would be located in some far flung corner of the world and not virtually on my doorstep. It was kind of fun walking throught the woods and seeing the dog walkers and like blissfully unaware of the drama that had unfolded in this spot.

I'd like to with all good luck with season 2 and never assume that the final solution won't lead to your backyard !

So if I see someone carrying a large bag and shovel into the forest in the woods a field away from my house here in Indiana, I should investigate immediately.

...actually, I'd probably investigate immediately even if Perplex City didn't exist...

[lonadar]

Oh, now, I see that all the time and I'm in Indiana. Then again, I'm in Terre Haute, and you're out in the country.

No, WEST Terre Haute would be the same thing. I'm actually in something resembling a city.

Many congratulations to Rand0m and thanks for his (rather damp) End of the Line card which is now sitting proudly on our mantlepiece.

Sadly we got to the right spot the day after Rand0m having wasted too much time in Fineshade. We eventually concluded that the amino acid clue was giving us FEARLESS and GOOD which are the names of 2 of the Dukes of Burgundy (between 2 BOLDS). Since Wakerley is the Wood known for its Duke of Burgundy butterflies, we refocussed our search for quadrupeds to there, but alas too late!

We still don't know if our reading of the amino acid clue was correct - any comments gratefully received.

FEARLESS and GOOD

Dare I say not a single yank had the smallest chance of ever figuring that one out?

As extra confirmation (when we were meant to be doing it, rather than now we have MC confirmation), "BOLD FEARLESS GOOD" fits into the 4/8/4 pattern we were given at the end of Flying.
