Well, this is a very "Unusual" thing to figure out, I must say.

To add some more ideas, is the reference to Babylonian Cup, supposed to lead to "Babylonian sundial".

If so, is there a "BC" year that specifically refers to Babylon ?
When was "Capital" of Babylon founded ? 1894 BC ?

Or, if indeed, the picture has no specific shadows, then it is "noon", or "12:00" ? (But I do indeed think the light is coming from the left, but the darker green area to the right of the blue bin is just darker grass, imho.)

And then there are lots of "Babylonian Cup" references in Google, so that may lead somewhere .....

TOO MUCH TO THINK ABOUT.. MUST SLOW DOWN.... Confused

Dr. Tachyon:

It's been a while now...
I think you should try either

"0731" or "1931"

for the security numbers they are looking for, as these would be representative of the time of day the picture was taken (7:31 pm).

If nothing is answered, then nothing will happen. Sad

True, but I'm afraid of yet another wrong answer. I'm happy to submit another guess. i'll go with the guess that the majority on here finds to be the most likely.

I say go for it. We're at a standstill as it is. A good pm will find a way around our inability to get this one, assuming of course that we were meant to get it in the first place.

I am pretty sure the correct response will be '2332' (numbers corresponding to first letters of each word).
Anyone else think so? This may be our last chance, so we should agree on an answer we are confident in before sending it.

Well, other than "Unusual", every other capital word than Benchmark Crack Cup and Blue can be grammatically explained. So those four words match the image.

How to convert them to 4 numbers? *shrug* Perhaps 2332 is the best bet at this point.

Curious as to why the crown and orange shield are in the image.

And...the last attempt was another failure.

any other suggestions/thoughts?

Darn! My only other guess is the ASCII values for the first letters of each word. This could be '98 99 99 98' ('bccb') or '66 67 67 66' ('BCCB'). The capital letters seem more likely as they are capitalized in the picture.

So...any other guesses? i really would like to see the item show up, but alas I'm stumped.
