There's also more than one way to convert the number to binary - I typed out the full list way back here

And yes, we've also tried converting to other bases. I had a look here and I'm sure a quick search will turn up other instances.

ah. thanks for the link. I'll keep searching, then.

No new ideas - but for reference 221545484848465100503215 has the prime factors: 3, 5, 7, 47, 5419 and 8284314836123531.

Maybe we're making too much of the number. At the very simplist of explanations, 2210_ could be referring to the Feb. 21...

If you have tried some method that isn't listed on the postcard wiki, please update the wiki so that other people don't duplicate effort. We should also put all known conversions to other bases and various forms of binary there for reference. I'd do this myself if I had more time available...

Or maybe something that will become relevant with another clue...perhaps it's a passcode that we'll need later on.

That's happened to us before. I do believe it was the Guardian ad (correct me if I'm wrong here) in which there were a few easy solves and one difficult solve that led us to e-mail transcripts.

Hi Chaps

I'm very new to all this and like a few others followed the link from Firebox catalogue, so hello all. I've been watching the forums and have been trying to 'get down' with the etiquette and systems used in solving the puzzles, but apologies if I repeat or state the obvious (although I have checked 'search').

First things the code on the postcard 2210 is a postcode in NSW Australia (Banks, Sydney to be precise) a Postcode on a postcard seems plausible(?) and there was a mention of a Sydney paper on the original movie. I have not searched this thoroughly but on the Wiki site everything else seems to have been applied to this number to work it out.

Secondly I read on a thread on here the Taversen (as in Square) translates as Traverse (can't seem to find the original thread sorry if this is incorrect). Somewhere in the US (michigan?)
http://www.mytraversecity.com/calendar/event.cfm?eventID=3502 is a 'Traverse City'….in Traverse City is a Theatre called 'Old Town' and the phone number ends in 2210. This is all probably a coincidence and I'm reading too much in to it but am enduring sleepless nights and normal life is suffering as a result of my Perplexion! Has anyone else checked the postcode link?

Cheers chaps and Hello again
