Question: Why would the PM's give us a video stating the dates of the newspapers if all the advertisements were going to be just pointers back to the perplexcity site?

YES! excellent question! see, that's the kind of fForward dynamic thinking we need.

Of course, it's not *just* fFor us. a successful arg will involve as many people as possible. so they place some ads in highly visible newspapers. rope in a slew of new people, hopefully.

But then, why have the video tell us about them? Just so we know what they are up to? Truthfully, would anyone here have ever looked in the NY Sun's classifieds at all? So this gets us watching them, and them watching us. Maybe the next couple ads will be more content-filled. the london times ad has some unique information.

Question everything, says me.

 		Also, if it's just to attract attention, why the part message in the London Times ad? I think there's more to it than just advertising the game.

Henrik Tanner got pissed at Sarah Covington because she left the equipment on 3 times, but Sarah said it wasn't her and mentioned Lyssa.

 		Excellent find.

Strange message, though; plenty of things to debate. The punctuation is suggestive, too. Hmm...

This suggests to me that the Cube is on the move, and Sente can trace it and give us clues as to where it is/going.

Don't forget the original:
"not only an object of great significance to the city but also a technological wonder"

Seems to me like this new one fits right before that line.

But if they know where it is, how is it lost? Confused

Because they can't retrieve it themselves.
