This page contains a list of all our "known unknowns" - questions that we don't yet have answers to.


* What is at [[Viendenbourg]]? We know it's some kind of military installation, and they're possibly excavating the site - the sound of drilling eminates from the long, low industrial building. It's very heavily protected by a neurodisruptive field that renders intruders confused, and ultimately unconscious. It was implied that Sente knew about its existence, but the employee might have assumed this from Scarlett's presence at the facility.

''Watch this space''!
*What's V doing at Radio One's Big Weekend? We need to stop him using the neural override and turning 30,000 people into walking puppets.


* Who created the [[Djinn]] virus? This was a virus that destroyed or accessed data on people's keys, and was transmitted key-to-key. It was created by someone who accessed insider information at the Centrifuge labs - a company that manufactures keys. The answer to this question is also the answer to the silver Shuffled card.
==Unsolved Puzzle Cards==
The Three:


* What is on the last page of the [[Anthony Granier|Granier Diary]]? It was in the custody of murdered librarian, Isaac Cymbalisty, at the time of his death. Violet insinuated that no harm would come to it - "The police confirmed... they'll release it back to the museum when their investigations are concluded." - but right now we don't know of its whereabouts. Also: what were the Granier Diaries specifically referring to?
*'''[[Riemann]]''' ({{Card|238|Reimann}})- It's not really meant to be solved.


* Who killed [[Isaac Cymbalisty]]? He was the fairly dislikable chief librarian at the PXC Academy Library and was working on restoring the Granier Diaries with Violet. He died shortly before the final entry could be transcribed - the police say suicide, but [[Anna Heath]] says murder.
*'''[[The Thirteenth Labour]]''' ({{Card|251|The Thirteenth Labour}}) - Come join the concerted effort to solve this puzzle, download the client and follow progress at the [http://www.13thlabour.tk Assault on 13th Labour] site.


* Who is C? We know that C is a woman, and that her surname begins with C. [[Claire Castille]] is our current best guess.
*'''[[Billion to One]]''' ({{Card|256|Billion to One}}) - A person must be located by just a photo; the card is meant to test the "six degrees of separation" concept by having us send emails around the world. Websites dedicated to the card are [http://www.billion2one.org/ billion2one], [http://haveyouseenhim.info/ haveyouseenhim], and [http://www.findsatoshi.com/ findsatoshi].


* Who are those [[Public Unrest|crazy anarchist vandals]]? They've been vandalising Perplex City up a storm with their funny symbols and references to leading Earth Anarchist thinkers. Do they have anything to do with anything, or are they simply easy press-scare fodder?
==Older Mysteries to ponder==


* The [http://wiki.incognitus.net/ppc/index.php/London_PCAG_event#The_London_Eye_and_Morse_Code|London Morse Code Message] - WTF? We have snippets that are possibly decoded, but no concrete solve for the full message. We were possibly meant to go to the Tate Gallery at some point, but clearly haven't. Chalk another one up to the 3P, y'all!
* Who created the [[Djinn]] virus? This was a virus that destroyed or accessed data on people's [[keys]], and was transmitted key-to-key. It was created by someone who accessed insider information at the [[Centrifuge]] labs - a company that manufactures keys.


* Who, and where, is [[Cyrus Quinton]]? Cyrus Quinton was the operational mastermind of the Cube Theft Team (codename: V) and disappeared once he had murdered [[Monica Grand]]. His DNA records are not on the city databases, according to Helena Frye, which means he is either from outside the city, or has been able to hack into their records.
* Do the [[Public Unrest|symbols and references to Anarchists]] made by the vandals [[Malcolm and Spencer Kaplan]] mean anything important?


* Why build a Clean Room? Kurt stumbled across extremely well maintained tunnels beneath the Gillet Road Subway. In return for providing information on Quinton, Helena Frye revealed that the 3P were constructing a clean room for purposes unknown.
* Who, and where, is [[Cyrus Quinton]]? He was the operational mastermind of the Cube Theft Team (codename: V) who disappeared once he had murdered [[Monica Grand]]. V's DNA records are not on the city databases, according to police leiutenant [[Helena Frye]], which means he is either from outside the city, or has been able to hack into their records. Kurt can't find the name Cyrus Quinton on any databases either.


* [[Helena Frye]] - really as straight as all that? Helena Frye claims the Gillet Road fiasco was a legitimate secret Police operation gone wrong, no thanks to Kurt. But why did Kurt overhear the passing lackeys ask "why is Frye getting the police involved?" Was she a double-triple-something agent?
* Who was above [[V]] in the chain of command? We know he has a Bigger Boss, possibly representative of an even bigger Conspiracy. Who are these people?
 
* What do you mean, "we never held it"? When Monica died, she told Sylvia that the original theft team "never held it" - meaning The Receda Cube. Was this part of the plan? Did the Cube autotransport itself to Earth? Or was their whole operation a botched mission, or indeed a decoy from the real setup?
 
* Who was above V/Cyrus in the chain of command? We know he has a Bigger Boss, possibly representative of an even bigger Conspiracy. Who are these people?
 
* Who's crooked at the Academy? We know that Cyrus Quinton called the Academy and had a heated discussion with someone on the day following the theft. Also, Kurt's friend speculated (with an unknown level of actual information) that it would take at least two people to throughly circumvent the Academy's security systems, but said it was a "danger to say more." We know that one is "very senior" from the leaked emails. V also refers to someone "more senior", who may or may not also reside at the Academy.
 
* Why steal the Cube? We currently can't ascribe a clear motive to the [[Third Power]] in their theft of the artefact.
 
* When will Violet & Kurt do the honourable thing and fall hopelessly in love with one another? Talking of which...
 
* Should we hate [[Miranda Katsoulis]]? Turned excessively paranoid, we've come to be highly suspicious of Kurt's new beau, Miranda, who appeared alongside another chap at the Library at the time the Granier Diaries were being restored. Which is not only suspicious, but there's also the fact that she isn't Violet, hence not good enough for Kurt. Obviously.
 
* What happened on the night of 7th Jan, 2004? One of the conspirators nearly gave the game away to a female somebody. They said a "challenge" line, and the person they were talking to (by chance) completed the "third element", at which point the conspirator started blabbing. They quickly realised their mistake and said that "I barely gave anything away before realising the error. She didn't appear suspicious." Does anyone rememeber anything?
 
* [[Inari Ekeba]] is a Professor Of Natural Sciences and wanted to do Cube Research, but [[Sente Kiteway]] wouldn't let her. The meeting flared up and she rashly threatened to steal the Cube. Significant, or a red herring?
