Okay, that's half the puzzle. We need to figure out the numbers message.

Re: the numbers. Connect the dots? It looks like a set of slowly changing coordinates...

I bet if we figure out how to graph them they'll turn into a picture of some sort. I wonder if we add or subtract the first number from the second number to get the x, and the third from the fourth to get the Y...

And I'm not just being lazy by not testing this, I have a metric f-load of work to do tomorrow morning, so I'm heading to bed Wink

New picture on 13lights.org. Related to the numbers?

Is this the picture that might help us?

Looks like it may be from Gray's Anatomy - I'll check my copy tomorrow

Clicking on the image goes back to the map with a point on Lincoln Park and message "Noon, await a surprise"

1. If you serve trout you really should link back to where it was posted first.
2. Folks, we still have the numbers puzzle to solve!

maybe organize a grid of 120 vertical (N-S)and 140 horizontal (E-W) and place the words from the picture into it. why else would some words be blocked out?

I'd assume it'd be needed for some part. Says "a grid could be very helpful... 120x140".

Attorney, does your scanner have the option to scan to text? That may be a better option than trying to transcribe.

Not that I know of, sadly. But I'll mess with it and see if I can figure it out.

I'm wondering...The text says "Use these numbers wisely. The picture will help to narrow the scope."

The colors of the numbers are very similar to those in the diagram...and the black seems reminiscent of the blacked out sections of the text.

Could something in the colors indicate numbers that aren't relevant? Could it be the numbers that have to go into a grid rather than the text? I'm trying to make that work, but with little luck.

(Kinda new to puzzle solving, sorry if this is silly.)
