:What if you lost your best friend's phone number? What if you wanted to find a person you hadn't seen in a long time? What if you wanted to meet someone you've only heard about? What if you had only a photo of someone you've never heard of?

:{{Card|256|Billion to One}} shows us a man, some Japanese text reading "'''Find me'''," and a little bit of scenery.

:His name is '''Satoshi''', and one day, he set foot in Kaysersberg, Alsace, France.

Here is his picture:
:http://www.billion2one.org/midres.jpg

Here is an interactive map of the town we think this photo was taken in:
:http://www.ville-kaysersberg.fr/plan.html

And here are some relatively conclusive comparative photos about the area:
:http://www.billion2one.org/3photos.jpg
(In other words, YES, we are SURE he was in Kaysersberg!)

 
 
 
::::::::::But that's where the trail ends.
 
 

The full hunt is going on over here, at billion2one:
:::<big><big>http://www.billion2one.org/</big></big>

We are pretty sure:
*Satoshi is Japanese, based on the text on the card.
*There used to be a large Japanese community in the area, but that has dried up in more recent years.

Things we know Satoshi is not:
*He is not the Cube Thief.
*He is not working at Mind Candy presently.
*He is not one of a thousand random "Satoshi"s who look just a tiny bit like him.
*He is (probably) not working at the Kaysersberg tourism bureau.

Satoshi may have:
*...gone to Japan.
*...been visiting France briefly.
*...moved to the Alsace area years ago and is living there now.
*...died last week. (though we certainly hope not!)
*...moved to America seeking new riches.
*...been a homeless man who was flown to France just to have his picture taken.
*...no idea what any of this is about.
*...a secret lair in Bombay, and another in Madrid.
:while it's fun to imagine where he is, it's ultimately not very useful, hey.
