 		The Black Bull?
Hi guys,
thanks for all the help so far.
Here's something I've spotted for clue 8. (Well I think i have)
The black bull seems to have either the initials DG or the numbers 06 printed on it.
Not sure if this is me going crazy (i have been at this for 4 hours now) or an actually clue.
Can anyone confirm this?
Mr. Matt

Well the absolute only thing left for me to add is that we have already discussed the fact that when you go to the main site, and click on the 8th domino (3:1) so that you can solve the clue, Juan holds up the 5:5 domino. Now someone on the board said that it has always been that way from the beginning. That may be true, but now, it is a little fishy because we are stuck and the last domino we solved was 5:5. That that make a difference or a clue to something? Or just coincidence.

The only other thing to add is that Juan says that there is more than one way to solve a puzzle so instead of the meat site, try and find something else that ties into the meat site, for the second way to solve it. Easier said than done I know. Just need to try a different angle - unless we are still supposed to wait.

Let's see 119.5 seconds to wait pouring a Guinness. So how many beers have we had to wait for? It has been since Oct. 28 at approx. 1:00 P.M. since we have had to wait. 24 hours in a day. 60 minutes in an hour. 60*24=1,440 minutes in a day. Been waiting approx. 5 days. 1,440 minutes in a day * 5 days = 7,200 minutes we have been waiting. 7,200 minutes we have been waiting divided by 119.5 minutes to pour a Guinness = 60.25 Guiness we could have poured already per person.


scary...

let's face it, this game is driving us mad!
I am "tapped" out now.

 		Thinking of this from a domino point of view, since domino's is the theme of the game, found out (or have been reminded of) by a professional domino website, that

"dominoes require a certain spacing for the rest of them to fall in line"

Well, #8 did not fall in line, so we need to figure out why it did not fall in line. Some reverse engineering.

What do you mean "#8 did not fall in line"?


I watched the video in domino 7 again, as I found intriguing this 5:5 thing. I first read the "guzmam ham" on the chalkboard as "guzmam hay" and it turned out it's a song... About life in Russia...

I've seen adverts with our findings in a Canadian website and english one, I wouldn't be surprise if the place where are looking for - as mentioned by Juan Ramon - would be somewhere else!

 		and...
And... I think the arrow points to Mr. Pedro Guzmam! He must be the key.


Now, if prizes can be grabbed from now on, how come, Pedro Guzmam is away?

and WHY they deleted his profile in Myspace?!?!?!?!?!?

I would only believe they are not stopping us from finding this when they put the profile back, OR, if he adds me as a friend in Facebook and his profile there looks exctly the same, or even better, then it did on Myspace.

That's it, I'm fed up!

Hmm, I agree.
My guess is that they've made a huge mistake somewhere along the line and now they're trying to fix it.
I've had enough for today anyway. Tomorrow may bring some anwsers

 		I think the big question is was it their mistake or ours? I cannot imagine them throwing such a huge red herring at us

 		In the main time....
Although I've never been to Argentina, I know all tourists love those colourful houses as the one Pedro Guzmam had in his profile, so I did a quick research in Flickr and found noticed that Diego Paz also has one picture about it.

I have NO idea if this could help us or not but the picture on the left - kind of on the window - called my attention and then I found this:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/dcasallart/469274948/

and this:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/56309288@N00/856287754/in/set-72157600844420455/

I found it intriguing that the note in the photo points to someone else flickr who apparently has never posted a picture about the Argentinan neighbourhood and the fact that she focuses the fact the november 2nd is the day of the deads in Mexico - also in Brazil but there they have a big celebration...

Oh, and I found a similar picture to the one Pedro used:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/56309288@N00/856287754/in/set-72157600844420455/

 		publisaia, I am trying to figure out how you go from a pic from a deleted myspace page to someone definitely OOG's pictures on flickr.

Please explain how you think these might in any way help us in this challenge - I'm not understanding your thinking here

Well, I thought that if they deleted the whole profile, it means that there were core piece of informartions there. Specially because there were strictly directions to it in Carniceria Guzmam website source.

Once we can't retrieve Myspace information not even using Internet Archive or something, I thought I could explore the pictures that once were there.

As I mentioned, the houses are pretty famous so if there is something hidden there - such as the number 18, for instance - if I could find a bigger picture or something, then I could find it.

Because the ad in on of those news website invite us to visit Diego Paz new photos, I thought that A) he might upload something new or B) there might be something else there - as we must keep an eye on the past (by the way, thanks for trying the QR-Code Very Happy ).

When I saw his picture with the colourful houses I thought that could be sth about it we were missing.

That's when I spoted the funny pictures on the left.

Then I used the name he's chosen "Calles de Argentina" and voila!

also, I always check wikipedia, that's when I found the big picture.

I don't know if this can help us however, as we are not sure what we should look at, I'm just trying to think of everything I can.

Like now, I googled Diego Paz and I got this weird website:

http://code.google.com/u/diego.paz/

apparently we are only allowed to access it for a couple of hours...

Anything that has "code", numbers, spanish names, and all the things we've been through throughout the last days, shouts at me now.

How can we use it? That's the thing! Juan said we can find what we are looking for in differente places and that we might have the answer already.

As I can't crack the code with the things we have, I'm trying to find something more obvious or something.
