1st email from Spearman - "Help required - SOLOS (3:31 clock)

Just got an email off spearman@derrenbrown.co.uk named "Help required - SOLOS"

With an attachment of an analogue clock saying 3.31.

And another attachment that when unzipped, says

"Can't talk now - we need your help.

Spearman"

Anyone else get this?!

Wehey!

Yip, I've got one.

Me too!

I'm googling already. What does it meeeeean?!

Yep, got this, I've just gone and posted mine in the other topic though!

My 'need help' wasn't an attachment on mine though.

Wonder why it was 3.31?? Funny time....

LC x

Wonder if it means something will happen at 3.31 on a particular date perhaps? Could be 3.31am!

The image is called aspmcpo.jpg for me which I imagine is relevant.

As pm see post office?? LOL No idea, but yeah probably is definitely relevant.

LC x

Oh no, I gotta go out for half an hour now...

Does this mean anything with re to Spearman??

LC x

Or how about this with re to the mysterious Spearman? I haven't looked at either site properly, all I saw were letters & numbers and some sort of system or something. I don't know.....

Yep - I got one too:

Can't talk now - we need your help.

Spearman

image filename: aspmcpo.jpg (if it helps)

edit: LC - that looks like Spearman's Rank, a method of measuring deviation in groups of numbers.

Henry Spearman is a fictional detective I think. Spearman may be a rank within the game? Or Spearman's Principle http://bjps.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/46/4/503

I gotta go out.

Charles Spearman (of Spearman's Rank) is an interesting chap - psychologist and mathematician, and coined the term "g factor": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Spearman

Well thats Some Time right there!!
This is all very exciting, I'm gutted that my poster is 70 miles away and I have no idea what number it is, can't wait to sign up and get involved, great idea getting this forum together!

I got one too, just when I was away from a computer *hyperventilates*

I have a stupid, technical question - what program did you use to open the file "ATT00001"? I can't seem to open it, and if they keep sending similar files, I'm gonna miss out

Mine opened with notepad.

Ah, great! Thank you, CJ - I knew it'd be something stupidly simple

Soulmate - don't worry, the email only had the image and the text, no other attachments. The email was sent with AppleMail on a Mac, and looks to have some unusual content-type headers - ThunderdBird on my mac thought it has an additional attachment, but looking at the source there is none.

Just brain storming... 3:31 is 12,660 seconds (or 211 minutes) after mid(night|day). If that means anything to anyone. Oh, and aspmcpo doesn't rot(0-25) to anything either (aspmcpo, btqndqp, curoerq, dvspfsr, etc).

Vixter, you email Phillis and get a number from her.

Also this quote is on derrenbrown.co.uk
The simulacrum is never that which conceals the truth - it is the truth which conceals that there is none. The simulacrum is true.

A quote from Jean Baudrillard

Ecclesiastes?

I've had an email with exactly the same thing too. Not even had chance to think what it means yet, been too busy trying to catch up with all the new posts on here!!!!!!!!! Hope we don't have to do something at 3.31am or pm because I'll either be in bed or at work!

Yep, i believe so... there's another thread on here about that message. Have you found a link between it and the Spearman email?

i got it too and just got a dm telling me about this forum and im soooo excited and now am soooo puzzled by all the topics, you guys are really digging into this, i didnt realise it was soooooo complicated hahahaha
