Poster task - send your message to the world

it was the clearest i could make it if anyone is better with computers than me please try to help! but from what i can see it says put ______ & _________ & wall

Hannah, if you can quickly explain the connection to Neumann we can perhaps all help you find some further info.

IF the map says Neumann:

Max Neumann worked on codes in WWII, though Abeo's comments about people in the game not being related to real people, it leads me to believe that it may not be a viable lead (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Newman)

Makes your eyes go funny

I got the impression that the box or cube can be viewed as being in several different orientations depending on how you look at it. Not sure if that ties in with anything yet though

Indeed. It seems our box is a variation of the Necker Cube Illusion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necker_Cube

theres also a physicist, john von neumann: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_von_Neumann

Hmmm, maybe not, but it may still be related to codebreaking.

well gary newmann was based around london so it's circling the right point

It's just part of a clue, I think, but it's solved nonethethess so let's put it here:

Spearman:

By solving the first of my riddles, you have shown me that you are able. In return, I have shown you what you are needed for. Now I need you to show me that you are willing. I need you to send a message to the world. I've put it where many other people also put their images. Can you find it?

The images are here:

See threads in current clues from Spearman for discussion!

I think nerunaun is to do with Roman coins..?

Should we just be focusing on the location? He obviously circled greater London. He is going to be in touch later today about the message, so it might be tied in to that.

Remember last weekend, we had the end of the round for the weekend. Maybe this is the end of round 2!

Greek coins I mean

How do we know what to focus on?! There is a word right next to the circle and it might be a clue for all I know. We also have davemoses co-ordinates which are near, so maybe there is a Greek coin connection seeing as we have been translating Greek. I think it's a quite logical path, even if it eventually leads us nowhere.

I;m shite at map reading, so I'm trying to work out what I can myself possibly manage.

if this has been posted anywhere else Im sorry for reapeating.

Looks like where the map came from. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:First.Crusade.Map.jpg

I literally just found the same thing!

It's from this book: http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/historical/history_shepherd_1911.html

would there be a reason that he is using an old map to do with the first crusade??? the first crusade started in 1095!!! is that another clue in itself as he could have just used a normal map?? obviously we will find out when we get next email??? im just wondering if we have any ideas before it comes???

cleaned it up a bit more by playing with the gamma levels on the jpg

put/pole - Pdi - ?peg _ & game/gone _ abling/ ablig & Wall. but may be Path as last word

used photo flair image enhancing software but I have never used it before so someone might get better results

and of course we may be supposed to be reading the words backwards starting with wall or path etc.

Gambling?

Note on the map:

Gamma / Gemma

(equation)

Put/pick _ d i _ _ eg & gan _ za _ lig & wall

??

first word could be "file" it def looks like l and e

And btw, wasn't there a running gag regarding a Box during the Enigma-tour? Can't remember what that was about, but that's what I connect to "The Box".
Better shut up now. Wrong team!

We're all in it together!

Was kidding, sorry. But I cannot remember what that Box story was about.

I thought it might be gambling too
