I was thinking the same thing. Are all those outside the 333 now exempt from further play?
Do we need the "gift" to continue?
doesn't really take the game forward really.

LOL! It's been 2 hours!
Here, take this number: 221545484848465100503215 That ought to keep you busy for a while!
I hope we each get a piece of a new puzzle and we have to work together to solve it. I'm speculating that there are more than 1 post card, at least One right but that they will tile together to form a message.

Players who didn't get the parcel won't have any problem. PPC knows we all share information. In fact, I'm sure they count it.
The contents of the parcel will be posted within minutes that the first person gets theirs.

But there was such a big build up to this. It happened extremely quickly and it's all over again. Quick blasts aren't going to be enough to get people committed.

Plus they said it was a gift. Who knows if it is even truly going to be a part of the game? It could just be a "well done, you did a good job" type of parcel, for all we know. So I wouldn't worry the parcel impeding your progress until someone actually gets one.

To put it bluntly I'm greedy. I want stuff.
But more importantly than that I want something to do IG.
Don't anyone even think of saying the 24 number thing!

Okay, little code to keep you happy:
9184767582981923350840574651239148678743575116152576276636386725766232647804238
Clues:
1) you will need to add a zero
2) I'm a mathematician - think prime factors.

Whatever the parcel is, surely Sente can't be sending us clues about where the Cube is because - presumably - he doesn't know himself. If he did, he could just ask Adrian to get it for him.
Maybe what we're being sent will be a way to recognise the cube, or detect it. And then we'd have to go looking.

Here's one for those of you verbally minded. It stems from not getting my sente email until 3.59, aover half an hour after I had the puzzle solved.
My first is an australian ronald.
My second and seventh is the first of man.
My third and the ninth is the real start of my fourth.
My fourth is in half of your pants.
My fifth and my tenth means it applies to them all.
My sixth is a refreshing break on a grand scale
My eight comes after u in good grammer.
A clue, I am quite vulgar.

You know prime numbers?
take a number - say 42=2*21=2*3*7, so the prime factors of 42 are 2, 3 and 7.
I should have said, you need to count and take the prime factors, I'm not expecting the prime factors of 9184767582981923350840574651239148678743575116152576276636386725766232647804238
And the other clue, about adding a zero, just think about what it could mean.
