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

15:51 is a palindromic time...
Spearman's e-mail was send at 6:56pm (also palindromic)

Is palindromic even a word?....

Hi guys,

Not wanting to interfere, but I've just set up a thread in the "clues" section for this 3:31 clock - could we continue the conversation over there?

Cheers,

or 3min 31 what have the youtube ones been lately.

Right, here's a summary of my thoughts (may have been stolen from people here so please do take credit!!):

- "Can't talk now", I'm late, I'm late, for a very important date - what happened in 1531? Wikipedia has given me nothing

- Should we be reversing the clock?

- Is it 3:31 on a video (as mentioned above?)

- Page 331 / 133 in a book?

@ Francis - I popped your post on here. Nicely spotted. I don't think it's for nothing. Quite a coincidence if it is. Do we have any palindromic (yes it is a word) dates looming?

will 6.56 bring another clue?

Has anyone had a post go missing? I just did? wtf

Sorry to rain on anyone's parade, I was sent the email today (some naughty person put my number in and delayed my entry). The time was 13:59, which isn't palindromic .

The mysterious ARG said:

You will receive the email tomorrow, you should receive two. If you want it today you could ask your friends to forward it on, it's the same email for everyone

My name is palindromic; reckon I could ask for a prize! Fnar!

Well I posted this earlier to do with the clock.

The entry page had a triangle (which was an optical illusion triangle with a special name) meaning infinity.

The top of the triangle had a 3 and a Q and 17.

Assuming all the sides had to be equal (q being the 17th letter of the alphabet) then it was 17 and 17 at the bottom and a three at the top. leaving us needing to find the rest which was 14. (this was yesterday so I had no idea if 14 would be connected to anything.

The email had 3.31 as a time on it. If you took our triangle as 3.17 for the values it had on it and you look at the email, that was 14 minutes more on the email pic. (this was today)

Maybe a duff clue but I wonder what happens if you went through any text and highlighted the letter N , being the 14th letter of the alphabet?

Yeah that's happened to me, too... think the forum software might be a little buggy (free forum site)

Yeh, me too.

Just put a list of palindromic times on here, and the post went missing... Here they are again:
00:00
01:10
02:20
03:30
04:40
05:50
10:01
11:11
12:21
13:31
14:41
15:51
20:02
21:12
22:22
23:32
May be significant, may not. If I've missed any let me know!

Anyone spot anything re. the time on the mysterious blog post?

014522082009... no idea...


Added by colinrocks: Abeo has requested no phone numbers be called unless very specifically hinted at. Cheers

Thanks for the numbers, just going to have a peel through them. Hannah, why not give it a try? I've phoned several numbers before - just an answerphone for one - and an 014 prefix jogs a memory. Just do a 141 so they can't trace you if it's some old lady, ooops.

A quick search shows 01452 is the Gloucester area code- but you have 12 numbers there...

Maybe call a few times, leaving out a different number each time? You'll notice I'm too chicken to try it myself!

I'll do it if no one else wants to. I'm at home, so no one spies on me.

Shite, my email isn't letting me log in just now. I've been hopping to and fro between my accounts and now it's just not allowing me back in. I hope I can get in at some point! Will someone fling a post up if anything happens, ta.

Jax

Email back in working order, ta. Had to log out of i-google to be free!

No worries, we'll keep you updated

Tried it. Unobtainable. Also took (20) out as it might have worked with the century taken out. Nope.

Back to the clock... nikki_watt just had a stroke of genius in another thread:

"Alice had been looking over his shoulder with some curiosity. "What a funny watch" she remarked.

Could it be referring to 31st march? Just checked, and March does have 31 days!

has anybody got the second email pointing to the time of 3.15 or 15.15 this isn't palandromic but kinda close... it says "We've got our eye on you - we know what you're up to. Don't believe >everything you read from Spearman. This will help you much more" i've done a quick lookup of the email address and some interesting searches ahve come up

i dont' have a second email. oh and 1531 was during henry viii

ok also angles of triangles are meant to add up to 120 (!?)

http://www.brainyhistory.com/years/1531.html

they add up to 180

Fraid I did have a wee larf at the 120 degrees, soz.

So, what about the times being longitudinal and latitudinal on a compass (thanks to justapix's anagramming of the second file name?) Or maybe they are segments and we have to calculate degrees?
