It's just me folks, and I'm already having a headache from looking through all the topics here, hoping to find some info about today's newspaper. I'm just like everyone else, trying to understand what's going on... Besides, there was another post of mine related to some of the clues which ended to be OOG. Sorry. Now I have to deal with the extra traffic, eh? Is there a moderator in the house? Smile

 		About the notice in PA: Trust me I've been to Towanda, PA. There's nothing there except for one traffice light and a whole lot of Scrapple(if you don't know what scrapple is, PM me, it's too disgusting to talk about here).

 		Glad to see I'm not the only person playing along at home who is having some issues today. The first of which is getting my grubby paws on a hard copy of this paper, which seems to be the most obscure rag in all of NY. I've been to two bookstores and three shops and could not find it. Half the time, people didn't even know that the paper existed, and the other half the time, they didn't know that it was still being printed.

Gah.

Looks like a site that's been regged and domain squatted.

That seems like a strange domain to squat.

It probably has nothing to do with the game, but I did it anyway:
0x800ccc0d (hexadecimal) = 2148322317 (decimal)
2148322317 up-side-down on a calculator becomes LIEZZEBHIZ
liezzebhiz.com does not exist.

 		What if we take the classified ad from USA today, and overlay it on top of the corresponding page of the New York Sun?

I have a feeling we have to combine the papers together to start to get some type of message.

 		As much as I'm loathe to say it, I think that the newspapers could possibly be the final stage of drawing attraction to PPC and reminding people who signed up last year.

If that's the case the game will commence at the end of March.

God I hope I'm wrong.

Jo,

Good to hear from you. The perplexity ad will appear tomorrow, Wednesday, February 23rd.

The NY Sun Classifieds are available on-line for those of you who can't get a physical copy of the paper.

Good Luck!

possibly cutting out the ad and overlaying the sheet to highlight a certin add or article as smith stated is worth a shot

w00t I finally convince some1 to contact teh NYSun and ask about a delay and it PAYS OFF.

I'd just like to say to all of us pouring over the 22nd paper for hours and hours in the wee hours of the morning (for me at least), sucks eh?

So now we know that there is a Classified Ad being placed tomorrow that will have reference to Perplex City. Easy enough to find, then?

Could you try emailing Mr. Colarusso and asking whats in the ad, saying that you really need to know today? Its worth a shot.
