FAQ

2007-01-29T19:11:52Z

Jaikaiman: /* Where can I purchase cards? */

== Overview ==
This is an unofficial Perplex City FAQ. The official one can be found [http://perplexcity.com/faq.html on the Perplex City site] and is a little sparse at the time of writing. With this being a player-created "living document," we home we can address some common questions as they arise.

== Have a question and can't find the answer? ==
You have several options:
* Search the Perplex City threads at [http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/index.php?c=18 unfiction]
* Ask in the IRC channel (#syzygy, irc.chat-solutions.org:6667)
* Post it on the FAQ discussion page

== What are we currently working on? ==

The [[Unsolved mysteries]] contain the answers, or more accurately, the questions,

== Puzzle cards ==

Check out the [http://www.perplexcitycardcatalog.com Perplex City Card Catalog] for a comprehensive guide to each card, with links to forum discussions.

=== Purchasing cards ===

'''I have to purchase cards? That sucks. I should be able to play for free!'''

No, actually you don't have to purchase cards to play and enjoy Perplex City. It has been stated in several official places
(including [http://www.unfiction.com/compendium/2005/05/adrian-hon-perplex-city/ this article] and [http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=177516#177516 this presentation]) that the cards are optional. You can participate with or without the cards, it just may require a little more work without them. If you do purchase cards,
you help finance the game. Unlike ilovebees or The Beast, both of which were supported by Microsoft, and Art of the Heist, which was supported Audi, Perplex City is not backed by big company marketing dollars, and also unlike those games, it is not promoting anything.

That being said, the cards are quite fun and entertaining. They give you good insight into the Perplex City universe. You can amaze your friends by knowing the answers. And the more you buy, the more fun stuff the people running the ARG can do!

=== Where can I purchase cards? ===
*Online retailers
**UK: Firebox
**US: Insound
**UK: PerpleMe

=== The [[Playing card symbols]] ===

'''Some of my cards have what looks like playing card symbols hidden on them. Whats that all about?'''

These symbols only appear on prime-numbered cards. Given cards numbered from 1-256, that gives us 54 cards on which the playing card symbols appear. This would cover the 52 cards in a normal deck plus two jokers.

They are certainly for one thing, and probably for another as well. [http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=11964 MarcB on Unfiction] noted that if you put the cards in order, the corner "quarter-letters" form a message.

Secondly, it is unconfirmed, but assumed, that the order of the playing card symbols may be important to [http://perplexcitycardcatalog.com/view.php?item=243 Card 243: Shuffled] because it makes use of a [http://www.schneier.com/solitaire.html Solitaire cipher].

Because these symbols only appear on prime numbered cards, there may also be some unknown connection with [http://perplexcitycardcatalog.com/view.php?item=238 Card 238: Riemann], since it has no obvious answer. At this time, there is nothing conclusive and this is just pure speculation and hope.

See the article [[Playing card symbols]] for a running list of the numbered cards.

=== The Quarter-Letters ===

'''Some of my cards have these watermark-type things in the corners that look like they might be letters. What do they say?'''

See above: [[Playing card symbols]]. There is a connection.

=== Card 215: Harmony ===

'''I can't quite seem to get the right answer for [http://perplexcitycardcatalog.com/view.php?source=bookmarklet&item=215 card 215]!'''

According to [http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=179274#179274 some reports], there may be a printing error on this card and the arrows are incorrect.

Puzzle card symbols

2006-11-05T11:50:11Z

Jaikaiman: /* Wave 4 Meta Information */

== General ==
Some of the [[Puzzle Cards]] have faint playing card symbols, risk soldiers, dice, number strings, and obscure shapes on them.

==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:

This appears to be correct, tho pieces are missing, and it doesnt make an awful lot of sense at the moment.

This message was [[Secret_Location_Meta_Information_Solution|successfully decoded]] on the 30th of October, 2006.

=== Observations ===
* Numbers range from 1-4, including 1.5, 2.5, and 3.5.
* There are a total of 42 numbers.
* There are 42 territories in Risk.
* There are 11 numbers that start with "1-" and "2-" each, and 10 numbers that start with "3-" and "4-".
* In a 4-player game of Risk, two players start with 11 territories and two start with 10 territories.
=== Speculations ===
* The ''Start Numbers'', or those before the first dash character, identify a player.
* The ''Middle Numbers'', or those between the dashes, could represent a path, where 1=South, 2=West, 3=North, 4=East.
* The ''Middle Numbers'' could represent conquests on a Risk map.
* The ''End Numbers'', or those after the second dash, could identify a player who ends up in control of a territory in Risk. There are 9 numbers that end in "2"; there are 9 regions in North America on a Risk board. There are 7 that end in "3"; there are 7 regions in Risk's Europe. There are 12 numbers that end in "4"; there are 12 regions in Risk's Asia. There are 14 that end in "1"; there are 14 regions in Risk's South America, Africa, and Australia continents combined.
=== Further Work ===

Puzzle card symbols

2006-11-05T11:37:16Z

Jaikaiman: /* Wave 4 Meta Information */

== General ==
Some of the [[Puzzle Cards]] have faint playing card symbols, risk soldiers, dice, number strings, and obscure shapes on them.

==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.

This message was [[Secret_Location_Meta_Information_Solution|successfully decoded]] on the 30th of October, 2006.

=== Observations ===
* Numbers range from 1-4, including 1.5, 2.5, and 3.5.
* There are a total of 42 numbers.
* There are 42 territories in Risk.
* There are 11 numbers that start with "1-" and "2-" each, and 10 numbers that start with "3-" and "4-".
* In a 4-player game of Risk, two players start with 11 territories and two start with 10 territories.
=== Speculations ===
* The ''Start Numbers'', or those before the first dash character, identify a player.
* The ''Middle Numbers'', or those between the dashes, could represent a path, where 1=South, 2=West, 3=North, 4=East.
* The ''Middle Numbers'' could represent conquests on a Risk map.
* The ''End Numbers'', or those after the second dash, could identify a player who ends up in control of a territory in Risk. There are 9 numbers that end in "2"; there are 9 regions in North America on a Risk board. There are 7 that end in "3"; there are 7 regions in Risk's Europe. There are 12 numbers that end in "4"; there are 12 regions in Risk's Asia. There are 14 that end in "1"; there are 14 regions in Risk's South America, Africa, and Australia continents combined.
=== Further Work ===
PerplexHero put the following shape together by joining the various map pieces together in card order. See the [http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=270299#270299 original post] for a zip file containing a hi-res version.

Puzzle card symbols

2006-11-05T11:34:50Z

Jaikaiman: /* Wave 4 Meta Information */

== General ==
Some of the [[Puzzle Cards]] have faint playing card symbols, risk soldiers, dice, number strings, and obscure shapes on them.

==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.

Puzzle card symbols

2006-11-05T11:28:08Z

Jaikaiman: /* Wave 4 Meta Information */

== General ==
Some of the [[Puzzle Cards]] have faint playing card symbols, risk soldiers, dice, number strings, and obscure shapes on them.

==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.

This appears to be correct, tho pieces are missing, and it doesnt make an awful lot of sense at the moment.

This appears to be correct, tho pieces are missing, and it doesnt make an awful lot of sense at the moment.

This message was [[Secret_Location_Meta_Information_Solution|successfully decoded]] on the 30th of October, 2006.

=== Observations ===
* Numbers range from 1-4, including 1.5, 2.5, and 3.5.
* There are a total of 42 numbers.
* There are 42 territories in Risk.
* There are 11 numbers that start with "1-" and "2-" each, and 10 numbers that start with "3-" and "4-".
* In a 4-player game of Risk, two players start with 11 territories and two start with 10 territories.
=== Speculations ===
* The ''Start Numbers'', or those before the first dash character, identify a player.
* The ''Middle Numbers'', or those between the dashes, could represent a path, where 1=South, 2=West, 3=North, 4=East.
* The ''Middle Numbers'' could represent conquests on a Risk map.
* The ''End Numbers'', or those after the second dash, could identify a player who ends up in control of a territory in Risk. There are 9 numbers that end in "2"; there are 9 regions in North America on a Risk board. There are 7 that end in "3"; there are 7 regions in Risk's Europe. There are 12 numbers that end in "4"; there are 12 regions in Risk's Asia. There are 14 that end in "1"; there are 14 regions in Risk's South America, Africa, and Australia continents combined.
=== Further Work ===
PerplexHero put the following shape together by joining the various map pieces together in card order. See the [http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=270299#270299 original post] for a zip file containing a hi-res version.
