Cask 12 Just stumbled on this thread. I probably have no idea what I'm talking about, but I couldn't help but take a guess. Isle of B, as in the Bronx (e: and I do realize the Bronx is not actually an island. Alright. this is a bad idea  ) Just south of that? Randall's Island. Randall's Island has a really weird traffic loop that almost matches up with her hair like so...(e: Derp. How to shrink the size of already-attached images?  )

Park Lego Velociraptor Obi-Wan Park is a common "Korean surname" --> KS Lego is basically "physical minecraft" -> PMC Velociraptors are "clever girls" --> CG Obi-Wan Kenobi is "my only hope" --> MOH KSPMCCGMOH We then do a simple ROT13: XFCZPPTZBU Here is our first indication we're dealing with an X-Man (or possibly someone from X-Factor)... However, this is clearly not the name. We remove the X and are left with: FCZPPTZBU Interesting. Let's take a look back at the image. We note that the velociraptor is actually a Tyrannosaurus Rex, aka "Tyrant King." At first, I assumed we were looking for a character that is perceived as "King" of the X-Men, but in a tyrannical, overbearing way. But then I got to thinking about the context of the clues... Let's not forget the popularity of Game of Thrones right now. It is daft to assume that Tyrant King isn't a dual reference to Tyrion Lannister and Joffrey, the boy king. Pride is considered one of the most terrible of Joffrey's personality traits. Not coincidentally, X-Man Shadow Cat's real name is Kitty Pryde. Let us also recall she is of rather diminutive stature, much like a certain noseless dwarf. This confirms we're on the right track. Lastly, we mustn't forget Kitty's ever-present companion, Lockheed, a dragon. Dragons are essentially Dinosaurs, so once again, the direct connection to the T-Rex is reinforced. Lockheed, coincidentally, is most recognizable as a name as half of the defense contractor Lockheed-Martin - which was a merger between Loughead Aircraft Manufacturing Company and Martin Marietta (itself a merger between Glenn L. Martin Company and American-Marietta Corporation). Note that LOUGHEAD anagrams to A LEGO... DUH. In addition, it should come as no surprise that the L in Glenn L. Martin stands for Luther - i.e., Luther Martin. This is our clue that we must REVERSE part of our answer (Luther Martin --> Martin Luther). My initial thought is Obi Wan should then be interpreted as Wan Obi. The W isn't actually a W at all here, but the Cyrillic "Sha" meaning it would be pronounced, effectively, as "Shan Obi" --> "Shanobi" --> "Shinobi," the infamous shadow-art ninja of Genesis fame. Shadow Art.. Shadow Cat. All signs point to Shadow Cat as the hero here. However, I'm still trying to find an exact polaroid match, so goon help is appreciated before I'm willing to "dig!" .random fucked around with this message at 15:24 on Mar 19, 2015 |

Urban Smurf posted:Ive had four copies of the book and see there are many small defects in the pictures that are in some copies but not in others. What if Preiss didn't release just ONE copy of the book, but 3 or 5 different versions, each with different - but intentional - "imperfections?" Perhaps these puzzles were intended not to be solved by an individual, after all, but by a group with access to several of these books with "imperfections" which all are needed to solve the puzzle. Perhaps it is only through our powers combined that we can call down a rain of gemstones upon ourselves. Perhaps?
