While the formatting isn't consistent, the "trythis" codes can be converted to European style dates.
15041452 can be April 15, 1452
251519 can be May 2, 1519

Guess who was born and died on those dates.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"leonardo" DaVinci


World's tallest buildings?

You could be right, all the numbers are going up, noone's got to 6 yet, but 5 is at 236 now.

BTW "You Know My Name" was the theme song for the remake of Casino Royale

Out of curiousity, are people entering answers to the enigma's in the key box? Nothing I put works.
EDIT: I should refresh more often

I spoilered it the first time Wink

Catherwood posted the first trythis code and JohnnyCon7 posted the second one.

Are you in chat on this then?

Interesting on the tallest buildings, they all have a white spot in the centre of the pic. Also the pics are part of the background so not individual

Where do we go from here? Any thoughts? Currently, the world's supposed tallest building is the CN Tower in Toronto (43.38 79.23), but you can't log in with those numbers...

Do we know how the numbers relate to the buildings? i.e. why 670366 for the BT Tower?

It must have something to do with the "digging" clue (I was the first to dig here), but I'm stuck for how.
It seems that each level has it's own unique style for entering the solve. Unless this decodes to another URL, somehow, I guess we'll have to try all the known methods.
    trythis codes
    coordinates on the MI6 page
    The text box on the status page.

No, I don't - not coordinates, not year constructed, not height, not number of floors...

Distances from a common point? (Back to the "digging here" thing)
