Puzzle card symbols

General

Some of the Puzzle Cards have playing card symbols, risk soldiers, dice, number strings, and obscure shapes on them. Each prime number card has a playing card symbol and part of a letter on it. Other cards have hidden text written in special ink.

We believe that Combed Thunderclap has put this data on the cards to help us find the Cube.

The first meta puzzle solved, the Prime Number puzzle consisting of card symbols and letters, gave us the message 'I STOLE THE CUBE. HELP ME. COMBED THUNDERCLAP.'

The second meta Puzzle solved, found in hidden text written on yellow letters on the Wave 4 cardSeason 1 Card #223 - Secret Location says "Five fingers point:half the world; realm; region; feature; last mystery." (Note all punctuation is added.)

The details of the solutions to these puzzles follows.

We have several more puzzles to solve.

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.

When oriented appropriately, these produce a text message on the corners of the cards. Full Details can be found on the Prime Number Message page.

This message along with other hints lead us to Library of Babel subdirectory. Combed Thunderclap has used that site to communicate with us in a few flash updates.

Wave 4 Meta Information

There are several puzzles contained in the Wave 4 Meta Information, and there is strong suspicion that these will be key to the finding of the eventual cube location.

The Meta Puzzles are:

• The Wave 4 Number Strings - Partially Solved
• The Amorphous Blobs
• The Risk Pieces
• Individual Wave 4 Meta Puzzles
