i was thinking that, about the numbers..

Great idea. So now both are similar

first line S605LD
second line ST65ND (if the one is November)

both of them lead to some houses in UK. Just put them in Google. First one in Rotherham second one in Stoke-on-Trent Razz

Problem. Also other letters besides the N lead to some places in Stoke-on-Trent, e.g. ST65AD.

So we should really find this picture on the net to be sure.

 		OT-was a bit dull last night anticipating my sharp prick flu shot this a.m (totally painless...PSA over). As always, AUZ you Rock On

[SPEC]Carebear's puzzle yields two locations and mine (two pages back) three times on a 24 hour clock. Maybe we will ultimately have six UK locations each at an exact UK time which N.Five will distribute. If they're precise, Darcy could free Flynn.

 		I have not heard from Darcy since she went to Tate. I hope she is alright. Has anybody had contact with her?

@Amandel: maybe I missed it but what number was your puzzle? x of five.

 		@AUZ--you don't miss much and am Two of Five with "the history puzzle". Also, the Numerologica blog has an update.

 		I heard from Darcy last night

Hey Keri,

I had a look around the British Museum as you suggested, but didn't
really find anything new that might be helpful. Did found out a load
of interesting information about all sorts of things; the Anglo
Saxons, weather in the past and all sorts... but not sure how it
relates to any of our quest yet.

Any word from the Numerologica people yet? I'm getting nervous with
all this waiting...


I replied that I am working on a puzzle sent. Have not received anything back this morning yet.

EDIT:
If these are first line S605LD second line ST65ND then we get Rotherham and Stoke-on-Trent. Do we think these are the two places I should send back to Five?

Sorry I had to go to bed last night but having two small kids is a killer!

I would say so. The solve is too tidy and coincidental to be wrong. Connecting them begins to encircle The Peak District - obviously these two locations won't tell you much at the moment, the other locations will be required. But yes, I'd say send them in....

Five.


You have been given the Roman puzzle.

24-22-9-9-9 : 24-24-24


XXIV-XII-IX-IX-IX : XXIV-XXIV-XXIV

that would be the simple way to interpret the clue, however it yields no obvious answers or path forward.

Ok, I combined the cube.

Sorry, could not spoil the image (but it's my personal puzzle, isn't it Wink )

We have "TOP" at the top and "PTO" (anagram?) at the bottom. The rest reads (depending where you start):

DAIST6URZCW2
SOTCODSEXX2P
GHC8SFXYT6EB

Any ideas?

EDIT:
@carebear: Wasn't there any instruction regarding your puzzle?


I believe that this:

SOTCODSEXX2P

Might say "POSTCODES XX2" - being that the strings above and below will translate to similar UK postcode locales like the one the "Sierra, Tango..." puzzle yielded.

You have been given the signal puzzle.

1645 1453 0253 0130 0722 2245 1922 1330 0122 0545
0444 0252 1646 1331 1700 1329 1923 0254 0645 0915 0129 0132 1845 1646


I think I'm to use the numbers as times and then the hands of the clock as signal flags in semaphore? I get SYYENONEXBSYSEVENYBREEBS. There's a little room for interpretation, though - some of the B's could be H's, giving SYYENONEXBSYSEVENYHREEHS?
It could at least partially be numbers: SYYEN ONE XBSY SEVEN YHREE HS
Where maybe SYYEN should be another seven? The only problem is that the E and the V look very little like the Y...so maybe I'm on the wrong track.

Anyway, maybe someone on that side of the pond will recognize something here as more meaningful than I do. Smile

How about translating to letters first?
X-V-I-I-I : X-X-X
would be 18:30

The top and bottom strings are likely divided into 5 letters and 1 number each [i.e. ST6URZ] and yield 4 post codes total [2 top/2 bottom] because there are no UK postcodes with 10 chars. They are between 5-8 alpha-numeric chars.

Looking at the great job Auz did on the cube, it appears that a couple of the pieces are fully interchangeable -- so it could be read left to right as "X2POSTCODESX" if you switch the piece with the O and the piece with the S as well as the the piece with the second S and the piece with the E. This might give the correct order for the postcodes on the top and bottom lines?
