 		That wasn't a hospital; it was a police station. Or so I thought.

Can't be this difficult... Nobody out there has The Exorcist or Mad Max? I'd like to at least figure out the clues.

GAH! My favorite movie and I'm stumped?!?

 		On another tack, the Jim Clark Lotus 25. The number, in tenths-of-seconds, translates to 2:10:36.9. See here.

 		#31 #s add up to 100 (01100100)
#20 next # in the sequence would be 13 (assuming addition to 1000) or 1987 adding them all
#10 related to these???
lat=54.858739436172533082277065623421
lon=40.338593374438290312467342460027

Looks too tropical for that... Ringing any bells?

 		Better off asking Lex how he tracked that down. Appears to be near a place called Iskra Oktyabrya in Russia, as far as I can tell. Certainly nothing I've ever heard of.

 		The place I called "crab-claw lake" is Rybinsk Reservoir. I literally found it by dragging around google maps until I found a lake that looked like a crab claw Very Happy

*EDIT*
It's Wandsworth (HM Prison), but no joy on the coordinates.


According to wiki, it was Winchester, not Wandsworth. Trying to get a lock on it in google maps, but it's not liking the co-ords...

 		The progress is amazing.. great!


So I don't know if we've talked about the coded letters that show up at the bottom of the main page. I noticed when I logged in from home that they were different from the letters at work:

Quote:
ZJLCFOIUHM >> X / 49


where X is the number of unlocked pics. So what is this for??
