The_Devil_Inside Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I don't buy the cup of tea thing. If you look at the whole picture - it's a taken apart watch. That's probably the inside of the case backing. But I could be very wrong because I still don't see a cat in that cat clue. Still looks like a bunny or kangaroo to me :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/523893-the-pre-game-fun/page/76/#findComment-588211033 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TecShdw Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Not that it means anything, but I've been thinking back to the 'Enigma Director' thing on the bottom of the letters some of us originally recieved. I've tried som emails pertaining to this, but no luck.

Crucify Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Yeh that was my brain fart. I was thinking with the numbers instead of real I.P More like 42.1.78.2:42 I'm just shooting out ideas and drawing blanks in the meantime.

canalla450 Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 We're pretty sure the answerphone message was just a fluke, basically we got the number by changing the last 4 digits in the 866 number for those that corresponded to "PLAY" on a phones keypad. its DNIS not venus and port. its just the info that a PBX system uses to route calls Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/523893-the-pre-game-fun/page/76/#findComment-588211118 Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Markus Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Before I start speculating about the numbers and the apparent abbreviations in the message, I need to know where this message came from.

agentleman Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 On the assumption that there is a White Box in every puzzle, we have what, 9 already? And need the ones for Current Events, Pocket Watches, and the Sundial. Anyone have any luck? I've gone back and poked around but come up with squat so far.

canalla450 Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 (edited) Before I start speculating about the numbers and the apparent abbreviations in the message, I need to know where this message came from. Phone number is (+1) 866-xxxx-7529, like I said, its from the one that gives you the answer horizon, but with the last numbers switched to 7529 ie PLAY on a phone keypad. the numbers it reads back are completely irrelevant, because they change each time you call. I blanked the middle numbers out so people that read this dont just ignorantly call the number which isnt part of the game. Ps just to save anyone the hastle, dont bother changing the last numbers to WORK - 9615 - the number isnt in use Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/523893-the-pre-game-fun/page/76/#findComment-588211134 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or any at all? Once clicked they go away for good. And I find it odd that nobody has these. So I'm thinking there actually might not be one per puzzle...
