Since the demise of the [[Third Power]] and [[Violet]] coming clean about the Cube, most of the loose ends have tied themselves up. [[V]] is presumably still on the loose, and we don't know what [[Claire Castille]] was really digging for. But that's about it.

* Many of the [[Cards]] have [[Playing card symbols]], and their various respective [[Talk:Playing card symbols|Letters]]. There are also strange [[Playing card symbols#Wave 4 Meta Information|shapes and number strings]].  The full message and meaning is still unknown, although it appears the card metapuzzle will lead us to the location of the cube.

==Older Mysteries to ponder==


* 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.

* Who, and where, is [[Cyrus Quinton]]? We think Cyrus Quinton 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.

* Who was [[Miranda]] working for? She talks about being a "lesser evil" -- does that imply there is an existing group which represents a greater one?


* 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?

* [[Inari Ekeba]] is a Professor Of Natural Sciences and wanted to do Cube Research, but [[Sente Kiteway]] wouldn't let her. The [[Leaked_E-mails#Senior_Fellows_Meet_with_Sente|meeting]] flared up and she rashly threatened to steal the Cube. Significant, or a red herring?
* Now that The Cube has been found on Earth, how are we meant to get it back to Perplex City?
==Loose Threads==
Some unresolved questions are unlikely to tie back into the plot, but remain hanging nonetheless:
* There are numerous [[The_San_Francisco_Connection:_Unsolved_Questions|unsolved questions]] from the online component to [[The San Francisco Connection]].
* The [[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!
* Some while ago, a special offer was sent out from Firebox, which contained the [[Firebox 100 Letters]].  Many have speculated this is a global sudoku. While it is not directly tied to the rest of the story, the question remains, what is the correct solution?
* The [[Backdoor]] to the Crypto department is still somewhat mysterious in operation and scope, but since it is no longer accessible there's no way to figure it out further. There were two open questions: first, there was some method of crashing the system Caine found which pulled up a file we never saw. Secondly, when starting the commands with a single END, it was possible to extract single letters and punctuation -- were there more, and did they anagram together to form a password or the like?
