Well, in #5, all the numbers are cloned.
And it's filled out incorrectly. The middle row cannot be solved - the 2 won't work in any of the 3 open positions, for one.

So I don't think it's about the solving of the sudoku's, but somehow a combination of all of the sudokus' numbers that creates the coded message.

yeah, caught that just now...
not sure how they created the QRcode though. There are 6 sudokus...

eta: never mind. The QR Code has three standard square blocks in three corners. The 6 sudokus together fill in the rest of the QR Code (numbers don't matter, just whether the square has a number or not).

They used a different Romulan font for the Countdown comic... I tried to translate all the names in the star charts there... but only Hobus and Romulus make sense.

No the sudokus were a trap, you had to take them all and make a QR out of them.

Shouldn't it be (by logical deduction) Indus:06-13 and not Indus:13-06?

I think I found the location in Spain they are talking about.

Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sof�a in Madrid
http://www.sitebits.com/images/photo/reina-sofia-madrid-1.jpg

Looks to be two large rusty towers and another two smaller ones.

Btw, Brazilian's official language is Portuguese not Spanish, although it is a common mistake to make.

Possibly ones for Germany location are:

The Reichstag
Franziskaner-Klosterkirche
Kunsthaus Tacheles

Obviously these are just wild guessed based on the vague clues, probably be something completely different Embarassed

You can find a high-res picture of the still unsolved romulan riddle here:
