Fantastic! Well done

Just a guess but I recon the gamma function could be link to greek alphabet.

I wonder what Spearman will make of these:

wow how cool

don't know if this has already been posted but spearman posted

I'm not alone here

i think that was to alert us to the fact that lox is on twitter now too - under mrlox

so is that a real twitter? might e-mail abeo or phillis... hmmm

Nice one Ed!

I'm annoyed! I'm in hospital atm and can't really do this task, not for a good few day at least anyway. DMed Spearman & he hasn't got back to me & he's tweeted since. Hope I don't get penalised for this

Fab - very clever

god heeps to catch up on have been off and on all day, I still dont understand what putting up posters of the box is actually doing??? does it help us find andy...and forgive me if this is wrong but is this not what we are supposed to be doing???? why would spearman want us to put up these posters??? what is THE BOX anyhoo??? i have seen everything unfold but i just cant figure out why we are doing what we are doing????????

I think we are telling the world (and therefore Lox and the Solos Corporation) that 'we know about the box' which is possibly something that Lox et al don't want the world to know about ??

i am also confused and cannot see the logic in copying the box image and putting it where others can see it - we was told to link the 3 photos together.....the only other info we have is that from twitter saying "not all messages should be sent electronically"

so all i can see is that once we have found a common link with the three photos (2 have posters or flyers, the other is a picture on a wall containing the image from http://www.8hands.com/) - so thinking about it is the common element flying - as the fist to images are flyers, and the third is of a purple thing flying...

then there is a box - is this linked to the black box on a plane - then then there is this solos site linked to army, navy etc - maybe RAF

again linked to flying

hhhmmmm - and i actually linking this all together here

I have been having a good look at the 8hands company, and I stumbled across some more pictures of their employees and their offices on Flickr (including one in front of what looks to be the same picture as Spearman's), and alot of the comments look to be in a different language, similar to the language on the SalaMusic poster. Could the common element be Beirut, or Lebanon?

yeh thanks for that, much clearernow. just wondering though, how in the hell is lox gonna see these posters????? or am i just tying myself in knots and need to just go with the flow... ooooh i feel a song comin on hahahahaha

@rogibson They're very different - the writing in the comments of that Flickr set is in Hebrew, whilst the writing near the SalaMusic is in Arabic.

I don't think that the 8balls company is really involved in this as they've been around since 2006.

Personally I think you have to look at if from a game point of view. We are not really telling the world just by putting up posters in our home towns, but in a game sense we are. Just like Lox wouldn't really know, if this were all real, but from an ARG point of view he'll know

*You print out the poster from Flickr;
*place it in a prominent position in your town/city/locale;
*take a photo of said placement;
*upload the photo to a photo hosting website;
*tweet/e-mail Spearman with the link to the photo.

yeh you r right *cracks open the vino* think i need a rest hahahaha i seem to be thinking sooooo much more into it than i really should

Ooh! Btw, the writing in the SalaMusic photo (underneath the photo of the man) means "the leader/president", according to my dad

..and the writing underneath "SalaMusic" means... *drum roll* "salaam music"
