 		My answers
Quote:

> There is also a public television station, Channel 42. Relevant?

No.

> Are we looking for an address starts with 42?

Something like that.

> 1) There are several "42s" that can be considered in reference to San
> Francisco. 42nd Ave abuts several parks. Are they relevant?

No.

> 2) I've already mentioned the TV station KTNC. There is also a bar
> called "42 Degrees". Is this relevant?

No.

> 3) Is what we seek within the city limits of San Francisco?

The scope is slightly off. Look in surrounding areas.

> 4) What, if anything, needs to be done with the hex on the front of
> the 13lights.org site? Are the strings that no longer appear relevant
> for the second location?

Nothing. The number is the clue.

> 5) If the goal is to rescue the children, does burning Condestine
> Tower down not seem a bit... excessive?

The children all died ten years ago, except for five known survivors. Then
came the elderly, then the adults.

I believe the term is genocide.

> 6) John will not be awakened by what is discovered in San Fran,
> correct? This will only allow us another step along the path to

He must see the truth. You are correct.

>
> 7) You have misspelled "Anomaly" several times. Is that just a typo,
> or is it relevant to us?

Misspellings are common in the transference process.

> Cool You stated to someone else that all the information necessary to
> locate the 4space coords in San Fran have already been revealed, is
> that correct? Where is this information?

On paper and in plain sight.


> 9) If 42 is the answer, what is the question? If the answer is
> "unknowable in the same universe", as Adams would state, that would
> imply that 42 is a red herring

The question is, where to go?

> 10) If the hex on the main page is encrypted, where should we seek the
> key? Since the Golden Gate is the key to the Bay Area, is that
> relevant?

No.

> 11) Treasure Island is connected to San Fran via bridge, with a 4th
> Street intersecting with Avenue B. Is that relevant?

No.

>
> 12) Does 42 refer to a location or a date?

Location. One you should be familiar with.

> 13) When will we have an opportunity to request more data?

After system download.


Three things pop into my head when I see the answer to #3 and #12
* Newspaper ad
* Alcatraz
* Candlestick Park

The latter is something that I'm kicking myself for not asking about earlier

There was previously a mailto link on 13lights.org. We had a 42 hour window to ask as many questions as we could think of. Another session will be forthcoming

 		Thanks stratagos. That eliminates quite a few places, and more importantly, tells us to look outside the city limits.

No, not yet. While I can generally work my through number puzzles, they're not my forté. I'm more of a linguist than a mathematician.

 		Got it!
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Using the three lines as one long number and converting from base 13 to base 10 gives:

15140506152118202506152118230519200315121518010415041809220516011901040514010301

Which, when split in to pairs and decoded using A=1, Z=26, gives:

"One fourty[sic] four west colorado drive pasadena ca"


ETA:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Can't find Colorado Drive but 42 Entertainment is at 144 West Colorado Boulevard.

 		Anyone know what the goes on at the Emmeyville location? Is that just a sattellite they use when registering websites or something. Whois on 42 games in the past have given us that address.

Also, doesn't it seem odd that the PM would give us such a TINAG kloo IG??

 		That's a bit... blatant, isn't it?

If we assume that the LA location is Node #3, that still doesn't answer what we're looking for in San Fran. Emeryville would be a logical assumption for #2... except, two corporate locations, back to back?

There is apparently also another 42 Ent location in Bellevue, WA.
