So far the clues haven't related to each other like that. the Zodiac puzzle didn't relate to Bond. I think we need to find the common point and that will be the solve for this puzzle.

I don't know about Bond movies, but Petronas Tower appeared in Entrapment, a Sean Connery movie.

Sooo hard to do with the tools that I have, but the distances in kilometers/100 seem to be all ending up in a kind of corridor that goes from a little west of Chicage to around New Brunswick.

I dunno. Maybe these are azimuths.
Again... No tools for that.

If it helps anyone here are the coords for the towers:

BT : 51.5215 N 0.1389 W
Taipei 101 : 25.033611 N 121.564444 E
Petronas : 3.15785 N 101.71165 E
Eiffel : 48.8583 N 2.2945 E
Empire State : 40.7484 N 73.9858 W

Rogi, I reckon the numbers are in metres, are there any famous tall buildings in that corridor?

I'm playing around with stuff like:
Jacques-Pierre de Taffanel de la Jonquière
(Best guess as a founder of Toronto).

Looks like we have a hint on the Enigmas page :
Quote:
WR1 : LOOK CLOSER !
I'm sure that wasn't there before.

Edit: So I guess that's not the BT Tower then?

My bad.
It's the midpoint array of the Ostankino Tower in Moscow.

So, then... As they're all world record holders, could our answer be The Red Pyramid or Great Pryamid of Giza

Unless someone can do better measurements than I am able to and confirm CN Tower or another geospatial point.

Not sure that it means anything, but all of the towers have had fires.

IF (Big IF) I've got it narrowed down correctly, We should be looking for the first person to dig in an area around the island of Grand Manan off the coast of Maine. That could go as far east as Long Island, Nova Scotia (40 miles),
But I'm quessing it has something to do with "most eastern point of the US" or something like that.

What about the enigma of Oak Island in Nova Scotia? Lots of digging went on there.

Pulling out the old measuring tool in google earth I find they do all come nicely to the middle of Oak Island, nice spotting tipsila! The measurements are all in the 10's of meters though, if that is of any significance.

Oh, and google earth should have a radius circle type tool, that would be really handy for puzzles.

-EDIT-

More progress and onto page 7 now.
For the buildings one (page 5):
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Like we found out, the numbers correspond to numbers in 10's of meters, all meeting on Oak Island, as tipsila pointed out. There is plenty of legend of buried treasure on there, and the first person to dig for it was Donald Daniel McGinnis, so the answer is just 'Daniel McGinnis' taking us to Enigma 6.


Then for the next one (6):
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
We have the text at the top saying:

WELL, YOU DID A VERY GOOD JOB
SOON YOU WILL KNOW MORE

as well as some hidden text at the bottom:

rotors 543
steckers AU FO SX
init FLP
code XAUBO HTKFI KGKEH

The picture is an enigma rotor (link) so use the settings at the bottom of the page on an online enigma machine, such as this nifty flash one: ((link)). The code translates to KILLMYSELFTHERE or 'kill myself there' and keeping with the enigma theme and the Bletchley Park clue, Alan Turning killed himself (most probably) on June 7th 1954 at Wilmslow, Cheshire.
The key to use is 'Wilmslow'.


Now on number 7:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Looks like we'll be playing the waiting game now... The text on it just says:

IT SEEMS YOU'RE A GOOD RECRUIT !
I'LL GIVE YOU MORE CLUES ON THIS PAGE IN 1 OR 2 DAYS

Solving the Turing clue now leads to:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The two previous locations give you
the birth place of my father

111 . 15 . 98 . 72 . 46 . 112 . 21 . 33 . 59 . 83 . 67
34 . 60 . 8 . 100 . 24 . 55 . 91 . 41 . 107 . 20


The clue from the status log is:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I'm too old to help you


... oh, and this is my first post. Hi!
