Checking the magnet online, and noticed something in the description that got me wondering. In the fourth paragraph on the page there's a line that says, "onto its surface faster than you can say 'SGR 1806-20'.". Now I don't know if this is a British thing, I'm in Texas, but what does the SGR 1806-20 mean? Is this another clue or something? Just thought I'd ask.

I think the magnet is out of game. They probably put the cube advert on the other side of the page to it as sort of a joke or red-herring or something

I might order the magnet anyway, they're always fun when you're playing pinball.

Hey there, just doing some research on 'Perplexcity' and found the following on Google images: (maybe interesting to someone although it may be a silly guess)

Google Images

The interesting thing I found was that the 'nuns' images refers to the following but cannot be found as it is a broken link:

www.perplexcity.com/ fark/nunsguns2.jpg

(I then took out the space (btween fark) and still no luck. Is this linked in someone way??? as it is very strange it has www.perplexcity.com as the beginning of the url. or it could possibly be a hoax)

...very strange lookin nuns to say the least! esp. with guns!

well this is the page in question http://www.btinternet.com/~mr_hawkes/FirexobCube.jpg but the catalouge is 33 pages long, does anyone still want it posted? Its anoyingly just too large to fit two pages at once into my scanner.

I too am new here following the ILB coverage� and a little ashamed it took me so long to find this place.

I followed happyjenny52 message from Oct 19th... and tried the Perplexcity Google image search and I found this link� http://infocult.typepad.com/infocult/

There is a section on this page dated October 18, 2004 referencing a "New ARGery". It mentions the http://www.perplexcity.com//2718281828/ link and claims the "- S. Marchant" is in reference to Bruce Ramsay's characters (Phillip L'Merchant , John Merchant, and Dr. Paul Merchant) in the 1996 Hellraiser: Bloodline movie.

Which if you have not seen the movie.. are characters who are "obsessed with a mystery box"

I have not seen any previous reference to this before�

In my opinion this just seems like a stretch� I can't say I agree with the Marchant � Merchant connection� but thought I would share it anyways�
Later.

I have pre ordered the magnetic cube on Firefox, this could be a joke at our expense, but it seems mighty strange that it has not been released yet, maybe it will be released with the true start of the game and come with clues?

Just noticed something int he ad, theres a space again int he picture between 'the' and 'cube', big enough to maybe fit a word in? Why dont they want to know what cube it is?
