==Individual Puzzle Card Meta Puzzles==

* '''{{Card|084|Insights}}''' Wave 3 contains the following number string: "27.55.25.34.4.43.500.15.18.55.13.1.10.30.56.55.39.21.7.16.27.55.25.69.29.35.62.55"

**The card this is from relates to a few websites. We have been flummoxed by the number .500 included in the number string. People have noted the repeat of the number 55 and the series of numbers 27.55.25.

* '''{{Card|156|Going Dotty}}''' Wave 4 contains the following message in hidden ink (although it has been noted that the degree of bold for each stone varies):

'''RUBIESDIAMONDS'''EMERALD
S'''TOPAZ'''AMETHYSTS'''SAPPHI'''
'''RESRUBIESDIAMONDS'''EMER
ALDS'''TOPAZ'''AMETHYSTS'''SAP'''
'''PHIRESRUBIESDIAMONDS'''E
MERALDS'''TOPAZ'''AMETHYSTS
'''SAPPHIRESRUBIESDIAMON'''
'''DS'''EMERALDS'''TOPAZ'''AMETHY
STS'''SAPPHIRESRUBIESDIA'''
'''MONDS'''EMERALDS'''TOPAZ'''AME
THYSTS'''SAPPHIRESRUBIES'''

**This may relate to {{Card|030|End of the Line}} which contains the following quotation from [[Gyvann]]:
"Precious are the stones, my children, precious that which is dug from the
earth. Precious are the rubies, the diamonds, the emeralds and the topaz. I
held fast to the amethysts. They mingled them with sapphires, so I threw
them both from me. Only one choice remained and from then nothing was
right. My children I did not despair, as you must not despair. A quadru-
ped appeared before me, its middle leg held proudly forward. I turned my
back to it and strode forward. But after only 20 ammot the light was upon
me. Precious, my children, is the light."

*'''{{Card|146|You are Cordially Invited}}''' which contains the following text visible under black-light:
Electric Splash
BB, 21 to 24
4: C, V, K, Q
20, V to 24

**We think these are the instructions given to the original Cube thieves about the night of the theft.

* '''{{Card|237|Roaming Identity}}''' contains the following text printed in tiny writing:
otpaaworldtdnia 1.56.29

**Anagrams and other things have been tried not yet successfully. The title of the card might have something to do with this.

*Possible puzzle data '''{{Card|242|Ciphers of History}}''' This data is described as "dim letters on the stem of the R which spell out the chars 2, 10 and 11. From left to right top to bottom, a no7 shape to each repectively."

**When solved in the same method as the card, these characters translate to 464 which stands for ER. Note that in solving the puzzle some of the letters had to be switched it could be ES or DR?

Prime Number Message

Chimera245:

== Prime Number Cards: Playing Cards and Large Letters==
Each card with a playing symbol also has part of a letter faintly printed over the card in a slab-serif font, and it's anticipated that arranging all the playing symbol cards in order will eventually depict the whole message. All symbols appear on cards with prime numbers. 54 Prime numbers under 256 are as follows:

2 3 5 7 11 13 17 19 23 29 31 37 41 43 47 53 59 61 67 71 73 79 83 89 97 101 103 107 109 113 127 131 137 139 149 151 157 163 167 173 179 181 191 193 197 199 211 223 227 229 233 239 241 251

:''See: '''[[List of Playing Cards]]''' for a plain list.''

=== Chart of cards with letters ===

Note the groupings of playing card symbols goes Club-Diamond-Heart-Spade, from Ace to 2 (ace high), forming 13 sets of 3 letters.
