 		[Puzzle?] - Postcard Number/Time?
So, at risk of getting locked, I'm posting this here in a seperate thread, specifically on this idea. I need help testing it, since I am at work, and otherwise scatterbrained, and have thus far missed every chance I have to test this, and it seems to have gotten lost in the 40 pages of postcard posts, and that thread seems to be repeating itself now. So I'm begging some people to help me try this out.

My theory is that so far, we have seen a lot of 2, 12's, and 24's in our clues on the postcard, and perhaps they are referencing a 24 hour cycle.
For example, gatehouse 12 might be a time, instead of a place. 2210 might be 10:10pm. (1010... Binary joke reference there too.)

Since the email box on perplexcity.com is a CGI script, it could be doing who knows what, and perhaps we'll get some more information if we enter certain key codes, at certain key times.

So along this line of thinking, maybe at 10:10pm (GMT?) if you enter the 24 digit number, it does something. This is 5:10EST, and I have been at work and missed all chances to do this for the last week. I really wanted to try all these things out myself before posting, but just haven't had the chance.
Break the 24 digit number into two sets:

221545484848 465100503215

Try entering them at 10:10pm... and also 10:10 am. After all, tours run twice daily.

Try entering them at noon and midnight, GMT. Also the 24 digit number at those times, and also 2210 at those times.

And could also try entering the names/badge numbers (converted from hex into decimal numbers) from the cache files. Maybe at midnight, gatehouse 24?

Those badge numbers and names are:
mendling, f 489ae 297390
tanner, h 529ea 338410
ling, s 996ae 628142
ling, l 640ea 409834

My memory for trying these at the right times has been atrocious. Help?

 		We've had no indication that the email box is for anything other than email addresses, but we've had an indication it is for emails.

It makes no sense that typing a certain phrase in there would produce any result. We're still getting adverts for the game and the video seems to be a slightly more explanatory teaser but nonetheless a teaser.

Feel free to enter what you want, and if you come up with anything I'll be amazingly surprised, but feel free to PM me and I'll unlock this, but for now, 'fraid it's getting closed.
