 		[6 Place Puzzle] Answer found
Clues led to the poem Kubla Khan

http://eserver.org/poetry/kubla-khan.html


Using the information of "Area 51" and "4+3" I went to line 51 words 4 and 3.

This leads to the answer of "round circle"

Does that mean the "E" is really a "3"?

 		The prize, analysis
Here's the picture you get linked to when you enter the password correctly.

http://www.ourcolony.net/images/gallery/3737115.jpg

There's probably no point in analyzing the picture, for what the heck right?

As suggested if you turn the picture upside down you can see a faint 7. Also clearly on the oval shapped extrusion are the numbers 6 and 4. In the corner opposite corner of the picture is a 3. The picture kind of cuts off another charcter on the oval. After thinking about it for a bit, I think it is an "N".

so that gives us (from top to bottom) 7N463

Now, I don't know a bit of leet speak. But I know that people have used the 7, 3, and 4 before for words in leetspeak. Can someone put these characters together in a way that makes sence?

IMHO though, it might be an "M", as in "64MB". But what do I know.

 		Very well done. Congratulations to those who didn't give up, kept looking for new angles, and sterred clear of going around in circles. Perseverance payed off.
