EW reversal With a little research, I bet we can find a Javanese lemurian map that's similarly arranged, with E & W reversed.
I'll make that my project today and get back to you when I find it.

We've been talking about the hangers in the closets on the floorplan and speccing that there might be a puzzle there. Binary?

Mottjr explained to me why the E and W are backwards:
east and west are left and right respectively.
when you hold it overhead and align north/south, east and west point in the proper direction
when you look at it on a table it seems to be backwards.
Exercise:
name the four walls in the room NSEW as you know they should be.
take a piece of paper and write NSEW as it appears on the plan.
hold the paper over your head and it will point to the proper walls
So, the E and W are in the right place.

map thing Well, yeah you can make it right by holding it over your head. But then the house is backwards. Why would someone make a blueprint that needs to be held overhead to be read?

Maybe it's a treehouse?

If you double click on the compass outside of the dial, you can move it around. Haven't figured out how to drop it, or if you can move it to anywhere worthwhile...

compass on floor plan if you quickly double-click on the red button on the compass, it superimposes itself over the the maltese cross/SOD logo in the upper left corner of the floor plan. i took this to mean that the maltese cross is a compass of sorts.
if you look in the special freeware pdf's of the incunabula papers, Parts I and II, there are maltese cross/directional symbols in each document.
i pre-emptively apologise if this is a waste o' time.
lurkin' at the threshhold

Something about all the stairs in the floorplan...they usually will be straight lines l l l l...but then all of a sudden you get a / or a \ thrown in...I think something is up with them...morse code? Binary?

If you right-click on the compass and then select 'Settings', it prompts you to allow SOD to access your camera and microphone.

that's just standard Flash stuff. Go to another site, like http://www.synthasia.com and try to right click. The same thing will happen.

The diagonal lines in the closets signify the installation at contstruction of shelves in those closets.

Ahhhhh-sooooo....Mr. BoJangles most wise!!!
Hmmm....a hell of a lot of work in flash for nothing....what are we missing? It must be there for some reason, or why have it at all?
