They have for <br /> a year or more taken rooms with Mrs. Feon of Kingdom Street, who <br /> complains mightily of the noxious stink emanating from their alchymical <br /> experimentations, but I hear they have in mind to remove to the cellars <br /> late of Mr. Beston Brewer, so recently passed away.<br /> <br /> Academy scholars will naturally be familiar with the Beston rooms. These<br /> are unlikely to be the original cellars once occupied by that scholarly <br /> fellowship but do seem to be in roughly the right location. Later the <br /> same year Degabus notes a behaviour pattern that might be familiar <br /> to the more junior members of the Academy:<br /> <br /> The scholares of Beston Cellars may rightly be called the natural <br /> inheritors of those brewing rooms; for I observed this night in <br /> Thilke Market as I returned home, after dining with Mrs. Haarten, <br /> a supposed scholar whom I identified by his cap drunken and reeling <br /> in the street. I made as to pass by him swiftly but he being jovial <br /> in his cups called out: &quot;Hi Sir, would you pass by a scholar without <br /> raising your arm?&quot; Quoth I: &quot;I see no scholar here, Sir, unless it be <br /> a scholar of the sweetened sleep.&quot; Quoth he: &quot;Sir, think you that<br /> viticulture is no subject for study?&quot; Quoth I: &quot;Sir, do not call your<br /> pursuit study, for the more you study in this fashion the duller your <br /> mind becomes.&quot; I think I may consider myself the match in wit for<br /> any scholar called by some academicians.<br /> <br /> Despite the continuing disapproval of the townsfolk, the Academy remained.<br /> It grew in size, taking on additional rooms in the area of those original <br /> stone cellars, and offering a tuition service to the sons and daughters of <br /> wealthy townsfolk as a way of funding its continuing research. No scholars <br /> of note were yet resident in the academy, although Varkin writes that she <br /> passed through on her way north and comments that she enjoyed an excellent <br /> dinner: <br /> <br /> Though the tables of this Academy be fine indeed the discourse <br /> of its scholars is finer yet.<br /> <br /> The Academy's first significant expansion came in 452 BC with a gift from<br /> Naskent Taversen. Taversen, one of the city's wealthiest and most influential <br /> landowners, had been fascinated by the studies of the Academy. He had sent <br /> his only daughter Aetiant to be educated by the scholars and is known to have <br /> observed some of Macelvoy's early experiments with static electricity. Aetiant <br /> Taversen became a scholar at the Academy and apparently negotiated with her <br /> father the substantial gift he gave the institution in his last years. Taversen <br /> gifted his house along with various surrounding pieces of property to the <br /> Academy in perpetuity. With this bequest the Academy was able to shore <br /> up its financial situation, which until then had been uncertain at best. The <br /> patronage of Naskent Taversen also brought the Academy to the attention of <br /> many other wealthy and important people across the country. When in 443 BC <br /> Aetiant Taversen was elected by the other fellows of the Academy to become <br /> its first master, she was able to preside over an unprecedented period of <br /> growth and success in which for the first time the Academy was able to <br /> select its pupils.</div>

They have for <br /> a year or more taken rooms with Mrs. Feon of Kingdom Street, who <br /> complains mightily of the noxious stink emanating from their alchymical <br /> experimentations, but I hear they have in mind to remove to the cellars <br /> late of Mr. Beston Brewer so recently passed away.<br /> <br /> Academy scholars will naturally be familiar with the Beston rooms. These<br /> are unlikely to be the original cellars once occupied by that scholarly <br /> fellowship but do seem to be in roughly the right location later the <br /> same year. Degabus notes a behavior pattern that might be familiar <br /> to the more junior members of the academy:<br /> <br /> The scholares of Beston Cellars may rightly be called the natural <br /> inheritors of those brewing rooms; for I observed this night in <br /> Thilke Market as I returned home, after dining with Mrs. Haarten, <br /> a supposed scholar whom I identified by his cap drunken and reeling <br /> in the street. I made as to pass by him swiftly but he being jovial <br /> in his cups called out: &quot;Hi Sir, would you pass by a scholar without <br /> raising your arm?&quot; Quoth I: &quot;I see no scholar here, Sir, unless it be <br /> a scholar of the sweetened sleep.&quot; Quoth he: &quot;Sir, think you that viti <br /> culture is no subject for study?&quot; Quoth I: &quot;Sir, do not call your <br /> pursuit study, for the more you study in this fashion the duller your <br /> mind becomes.&quot; I think I may consider myself the match in wit for<br /> any a scholar called by some academicians.<br /> <br /> Despite the continuing disapproval of the townsfolk, the Academy remained.<br /> It grew in size, taking on additional rooms in the area of those original <br /> stone cellars, and offering a tuition service to the sons and daughters of <br /> wealthy townsfolk as a way of funding its continuing research. No scholars <br /> of note were yet resident in the academy, although Varkin writes that she <br /> passed through on her way north and comments that she enjoyed an excellent <br /> dinner though the tables of this Academy be fine indeed the discourse <br /> of its scholars is finer yet.<br /> <br /> The Academy's first significant expansion came in 452 BC with a gift from<br /> Naskent Taversen. Taversen, one of the city's wealthiest and most influential <br /> land owners, had been fascinated by the studies of the academy. He had sent <br /> his only daughter Aetiant to be educated by the scholars and is known to have <br /> observed some of Macelvoy's early experiments with static electricity. Aetiant <br /> Taversen became a scholar at the Academy and apparently negotiated with her <br /> father the substantial gift he gave the institution his last years. Taversen <br /> gifted his house along with various surrounding pieces of property to the <br /> Academy in perpetuity. With this, his bequest, the Academy was able to shore <br /> up its financial situation which until then had been uncertain at best. The <br /> patronage of Naskent Taversen also brought the academy to the attention of <br /> many other wealthy and important people across the country when in 443 BC <br /> Aetiant Taversen was elected by the other fellows of the Academy to become <br /> its first master. She was able to preside over an unprecedented period of <br /> growth and success in which for the first time the Academy was able to <br /> select its pupils.</div>

<p>Growfybruce: /* Results */</p> <hr /> <div>In the [[Perplex City Video]] two slides give the details:<br /> <br /> * 19th March : 12h-13h GMT<br /> * http://www.abbeyroad.co.uk/virtual_visit/webcam/ : Ask for Dinah<br /> <br /> <br /> This is suspected that a meet or a event is going to take place on Abbey Road, London. The webcam points to the crossing the beatles made famous on one of there album covers. A team of people are prepared and are travelling to Abbey Road for that time period, in hope of some character interaction or a good puzzle.<br /> <br /> <br /> * Cache of the Abbey Road webcam will be made from 11am till 2:30pm, and will be available from the [http://wiki.incognitus.net/mirror/ppc/abbeyroad Abbey Road Webcam Cache]<br /> * A [[Teamspeak]] server is available for voice-chat during the period. A few people will have direct contact with the &quot;on the ground&quot; group.<br /> * The [[Abbey Road Meeting Info]] is available.<br /> <br /> ==Theories==<br /> <br /> * None So Far...<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Results==<br /> <br /> On arrival at noon, chrome_halo found a clue taped to the statue on the memorial that can be seen from the Abbey Road webcam. This clue (identifying itself as '3/3') read:<br /> <br /> LOST. The Cube.<br /> <br /> before handing over any information:<br /> <br /> stock market (8)<br /> www.perplexcity.com<br /> <br /> Shortly afterwards, Reason found another clue crumpled into a ball and placed on top of the wall opposite Abbery Road Studios. Given that it had tape attached to it we suspect it should have been affixed to something but had been removed. This clue (identifying itself as '2/3') read:<br /> <br /> LOST. The Cube.<br /> <br /> arrive before 13h. she will require a password<br /> <br /> ruined on<br /> www.perplexcity.com<br /> <br /> At this point, growfybruce recognised that the text at the bottom of the notes formed a crossword clue. BoBzOmBiE' found the third clue attached to the wall behind the monument (as seen from the webcam).<br /> <br /> LOST. The Cube.<br /> <br /> Dinah has been delayed at MC but she will <br /> <br /> hang exec<br /> www.perplexcity.com<br /> <br /> This gives the full crossword clue as &quot;hang exec ruined on stock market (8)&quot;. growfybruce pointed out that 'ruined' clues an anagram of 'hang exec' which is EXCHANGE - another word for 'stock market'.<br /> <br /> At around 12:45 a woman sat down not too far from us with a stack of envelopes and spaceXplorer asked her if she was Dinah and gave her the password - and in exchange, Dinah gave each of us an envelope containing the [[Perplex City Postcard]] and a [[Abbey Road Print-out|print-out of an email conversation]] (including an encrypted section).</div>

<p>Growfybruce: /* Results */</p> <hr /> <div>In the [[Perplex City Video]] two slides give the details:<br /> <br /> * 19th March : 12h-13h GMT<br /> * http://www.abbeyroad.co.uk/virtual_visit/webcam/ : Ask for Dinah<br /> <br /> <br /> This is suspected that a meet or a event is going to take place on Abbey Road, London. The webcam points to the crossing the beatles made famous on one of there album covers. A team of people are prepared and are travelling to Abbey Road for that time period, in hope of some character interaction or a good puzzle.<br /> <br /> <br /> * Cache of the Abbey Road webcam will be made from 11am till 2:30pm, and will be available from the [http://wiki.incognitus.net/mirror/ppc/abbeyroad Abbey Road Webcam Cache]<br /> * A [[Teamspeak]] server is available for voice-chat during the period. A few people will have direct contact with the &quot;on the ground&quot; group.<br /> * The [[Abbey Road Meeting Info]] is available.<br /> <br /> ==Theories==<br /> <br /> * None So Far...<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Results==<br /> <br /> On arrival at noon, chrome_halo found a clue taped to the statue on the memorial that can be seen from the Abbey Road webcam. This clue (identifying itself as '3/3') read:<br /> <br /> LOST. The Cube.<br /> <br /> before handing over any information:<br /> <br /> stock market (8)<br /> www.perplexcity.com<br /> <br /> Shortly afterwards, Reason found another clue crumpled into a ball and placed on top of the wall opposite Abbery Road Studios. Given that it had tape attached to it we suspect it should have been affixed to something but had been removed. This clue (identifying itself as '2/3') read:<br /> <br /> LOST. The Cube.<br /> <br /> arrive before 13h. she will require a password<br /> <br /> ruined on<br /> www.perplexcity.com<br /> <br /> At this point, growfybruce recognised that the text at the bottom of the notes formed a crossword clue. BoBzOmBiE' found the third clue attached to the wall behind the monument (as seen from the webcam).<br /> <br /> LOST. The Cube.<br /> <br /> Dinah has been delayed at MC but she will <br /> <br /> hang exec<br /> www.perplexcity.com<br /> <br /> This gives the full crossword clue as &quot;hang exec ruined on stock market (8)&quot;. growfybruce pointed out that 'ruined' clues an anagram of 'hang exec' which is EXCHANGE - another word for 'stock market'.<br /> <br /> At around 12:45 a woman sat down not too far from us with a stack of envelopes and spaceXplorer asked her if she was Dinah and gave her the password - and in exchange, Dinah gave each of us an envelope containing the Perplex City Postcard and a print-out of an email conversation (including an encrypted section).</div>

No luck, though &quot;2210&quot; gives us &quot;SEEK.&quot;<br /> * Various ROTing, and conversion to ASCII then ROTing proved...nothing but gibberish.<br /> * Equally, running modulus calculations on the number to bring it into number spaces for ASCII etc. AND converting to ASCII as base 10 and base 16 AND ROTing the results gives yet more gibberish.<br /> * Ditto multiplying the number by 2210 (the number next to the semacode stamp on the card) and trying the above operations.<br /> * Tried translating to EBCDIC: still gibberish.<br /> * Too many digits to be an ISBN or a latitude/longitude.<br /> * Tried mapping numbers to characters in the text of the postcard (i.e. first character in Sente's message is 00, second character is 01 etc.) trying various starting points and different combinations of including/ignoring spaces, hyphens, line-breaks etc. Results were meaningless so ROTed them but still no obvious message.<br /> * Also tried mapping numbers to the letter on the www.perplexcity.com home page.<br /> * Also tried mapping numbers to other various strings on the postcard as well as other sources on the www.perplexedcity.com site, with different offsets, base 9, 10, etc. For all ~5000 results see: [http://wiki.incognitus.net/files/ppc/allstrings_base10.txt Base 10] and [http://wiki.incognitus.net/files/ppc/allstrings_base9.txt Base 9]<br /> * Shish tried converting to music using 'beep' command in Linux and Tanner tried mobile phone ringtones but no obvious answers or recognisable tunes were found. Tanner has now broken out into doing [http://homepage.ntlworld.com/tanspace/ssm/perpno3.MP3 Postcard Code Remixes] as MP3s, available from his site.<br /> * Frequency analysis of the numbers was similarly unsuccessful. Assuming the string was one-digit numbers gave far too much repetition of characters (for example the 484848 would probably be tetete or etetet) for a meaningful message. Assuming the string was 2 (or more) digit numbers prevented frequency analysis simply because there wasn't enough data to work with (frequency analysis works best over a very large amount of encrpyted data).<br /> * Currently trying various ways of converting number to binary (all possible methods of writing number in binary have been listed on unfiction forum by Seej) then converting that binary to morse code, i.e. 0 = dot, 1 = dash (or vice versa) and interpreting that series of dots and dashes (actually more complicated than it sounds as morse code characters don't always have the same number of dots and dashes so there's no clear way to tell when one character has ended and another has begun).<br /> * Binary number strings from above method also all converted to ASCII but non-alphabetic characters were output.<br /> * It's not a prime number.<br /> * We've tried indexing in every way to every available text (ie, 31 could be 3rd sentence, 1st word; 3rd paragraph, 1st letter, etc.)<br /> * It's not a phone number or a credit card.<br /> * graphing it in various ways hasn't revealed anything.<br /> * Doesn't appear to be related to a deck of cards because of repeating sequences.<br /> * Assuming code is a series of 2 digit numbers:<br /> **Reasons to believe this:<br /> **#&quot;484848&quot; jumps out as a pattern<br /> **#the numbers are clearly clustered and not very random<br /> **#all 12 numbers range from 00-51<br /> **Since numbers range 00-51 we've tried several simple translations using 2 alphabets (ex. A=00, B=01,...Z=25,A=26,...Z=51). <br /> **#In some cases &quot;484848&quot; translates to &quot;www&quot;, but the rest doesn't look like a URL (also tried tinyurl)<br /> **#In other cases, it translates into a set of letters which can be scrambled to come up with &quot;cube&quot; but the rest is undecipherable. Note: letter on website refers to &quot;XXX Cube&quot; where XXX is blacked out. It looks like about 6 or 7 letters in length, so it could be a proper name.<br /> * It has been suggested that the number may simply be a key for a cipher such as MD5 or RSA but there is no way to verify this until further encrypted messages are received on which the number can be used as a key. This is unlikely to happen until the game starts properly.<br /> * Tried converting the number into different numeric strings and converting to hex, to get unicode and Adobe Postscript characters. Provided Gibberish thus far, even after ROT'ing.<br /> * Tried converting the number to an IPv4 address a few different ways. There are probably more. ([http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=8270&amp;start=398 Link])<br /> * Tried plotting pairs of numbers as (x,y) coordinates, i.e. the first coordinate would be (22,15). Then joined up coordinates in order plotted, but it didn't give any meaningful shape.<br /> *If 484848 means www, no web extensions can be found through any rots, both forwards and backwards. This also indicates that even if the code is a continously changing code, it isn't a web address.<br /> *Could be a continously changing code every pattern of letters.<br /> *None of the below means anything to us yet:<br /> **22 15 45 48 48 48 46 51 00 50 32 15<br /> **221 545 484 848 465 100 503 215 = html co-ords? 221, 545, 484, 848, 465, 100, 503, 215<br /> **2215 4548 4848 4651 0050 3215<br /> **221545 484848 465100 503215<br /> **22154548 48484651 00503215<br /> <br /> *Tried converting numbers to letters in a 52-piece alphabet, and rotting the letters with code 2210, for example, 22 becomes W and is changed to ROT 2, 15 is P and is changed to ROT 2, 45 is T and is changed to ROT 1, 48 is W and isn't changed at all. No solutions.<br /> *Tried adding each number cumulatively to the previous number/sum of numbers, then converting into letters. All ROTs produce nothing. However, only done using single digit numbers.<br /> *It's not a UPS, FedEx or TNT parcel tracking number.<br /> <br /> ==The Soogees Link==<br /> <br /> For those who don't know, [http://www.soogees.com/ Soogees] was created as a fun puzzle, quoted as &quot;a little diversion&quot;. We traversed our way through the puzzles, finally reaching the [http://www.soogees.com/theend.htm TheEnd.htm] puzzle. After modifying the colour table in photoshop, we got this string of numbers:<br /> <br /> 2215 45 484 848 4651 00503 215<br /> <br /> These perfectly correspond to the number string under the Semacode on the postcard. By entering http://www.soogees.com/221545484848465100503215.htm we were directed to another puzzle, another GIF.<br /> <br /> However, [http://soogees.com/elohtibbar.htm the puzzle trail has now been completed] and its author, Ehsan, had this to say about the link:<br /> <br /> '''''Trivia:''''' ''The number is an unsolved string from the upcoming ARG, Perplex City. Even though soogees is not affiliated with PC, you are encouraged to play it anyway, because it seems to be very interesting indeed.''<br /> <br /> == Results ==<br /> <br /> * Nothing conclusive... but interesting.</div>
