Just for completeness, what is the context of the quote?

ie. at what time does the unjust man thrive?

Edit: Just got this from the message board.

And on that, what importance can we draw from the magnifying glass?

If it's another reference to the old "eye see" image, I'm gonna scream... Twisted Evil

Inside the magnifying glass is the letter "M". It looks like the "M" monogram on the Metacortex website

The three doesn't really mean anything significant in a musical context: It refers to the contents of that box, and that they are to be played the third time the preceeding passage is repeated. It does mean there are two boxes like it labeled "1" and "2" off-screen though.

(note this is working from memory here! Wink

Marl - the .3 means triplet, indicating the time for the notes to be played...don�t know if it means anything...

If hte letter under the mag glass is M as in Metachortex this could simply mean "look closer at MC" - I guess that�s what we�re already doing. There is speculation in other threads that the appearance of several employee IDs could make it possible to log in to MC user accounts...using SiO2, Dina, Autolycos...whatever...as psw??

It's a brass faced family scale.

This may be slightly OT but has anyone noticed that all the quotes for the clues have ten words?

Sorry, i miscounted and I also forgot what I was talking about. Embarassed

The things that have ten letters are the quotes of the employees on MetaDex.

it would seem to me that the image definitely has something to do with Scales.

Pounds by Ounces refers to a weight scale, and the notes refer to a musical scale. How that ties in with the phrase or the magnifying glass is beyond me.

I retract my previous barometer statement. Smile

Although, I stand by my analysis of the 3: if it were a triplet, there would be three notes below it: instead it is above the key, which implies a coda.

To my eyes, anyway. Hey, I've been proven wrong once today already... Wink
