So where do you think we go from here? Let Spearman know we have found it?

Dee.1968 Fri Oct 30, 2009 3:51 am

Well done Codifier Very Happy

I searched for ages yesterday and nothing.

Wow, how come your image looks so much clearer than mine?

The equation looks to me like integration, maybe r ω = ∫ e^(–e) t^(λ – 1) dt ? But I think there are constraints that I can't make out...

The only thing I can see in the writing is that it starts with "the" and ends with either "& well" or "& wall". The word before the equation might be Gamma or Gemma?

Dunno if this means anything but here's a discussion on FB about what you want in The Box

https://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=216389545522&topic=10346

and - Do you know about the Box

Here it is! Was it always crossed out? Maybe we are supposed to email him! (but we shouldn't do that before checking with official ARG people!)

**HannahHannah81** Fri Oct 30, 2009 3:59 am

Yes, let's check with arg first!

Nephthys Fri Oct 30, 2009 3:59 am

I'm sure it wasn't crossed out before. I am not emailling him after what happened last time. Embarassed

I did leave a message on his page originally though... along with several thousand other people.

Nephthys Fri Oct 30, 2009 4:03 am

I actually want to put the box thing as my FB profile pic but not sure if that's appropriate/allowed/hanging offence?

Koneko09 Fri Oct 30, 2009 4:04 am

I don't see why it would be...

helen1984 Fri Oct 30, 2009 4:08 am

from spearman ......

Sometimes messages are hard to understand. Well done - I will be in touch later today regarding the sending.

do you want to tell us what it means?

**HannahHannah81** Fri Oct 30, 2009 4:09 am

From Spearman - similar to Helen's email:

Well done to you. Excellent work, I admire everyone's persistence. I will be in touch later today regarding the sending of this message.

wilsot05 Fri Oct 30, 2009 4:10 am

Wow...that's great! At least he has made contact again, so we know we are heading in the right direction! Yay! Very Happy

jude Fri Oct 30, 2009 4:13 am

Really glad I didn't jump ship, it's really intriguing. Well done for finding it codifier.

TrustNo1 Fri Oct 30, 2009 4:14 am

Excellent we have the images. Well done codifier never thought of typing the variations in the address bar doah.
At least one always seem to succeed where the rest fail Smile

wilsot05 Fri Oct 30, 2009 4:14 am

There will be further instructions later. Well done.

Juat received this from Spearman! Can't wait for later!! sunny

**rogibson** Fri Oct 30, 2009 4:14 am

Just because "The Box" appears to have corners, does it mean it's really there? Sorry for sounding like a Chinese proverb, but these were just my observations. Also, perhaps "The Box" ties in with Andy's trip to Marrakech, hence the old map. Maybe finding Andy isn't important, but finding "The Box" is... Neutral

Nephthys Fri Oct 30, 2009 4:15 am

I've compromised and altered the status instead Wink

helen1984 Fri Oct 30, 2009 4:15 am

there is a hand written thing on the map can someone do a good zoomy zoomy and see what it says? there is an equation and a circled bit.

Hmm looks I shall have to try something new later tonight and use a hotel PC... Shocked

Storm Fri Oct 30, 2009 4:20 am

LOL oh dear - I played with a jewellers loop negatived the picture and all sorts - uploading it to u tube and while i did that caught up on the posts and ARDYER's image is as clear as a bell LMFAO - that will teach me

The box - does it seem awfully like the box Derren stands in for the science of scams series. After all there is the little derren and if we know about the box could we know about the science behind a upcoming Lox scam - just throwing it out there like a clay pidgeon.

**rogibson** Fri Oct 30, 2009 4:23 am

I definitely think this will link with something else Derren has done. This is not to say that Lox and Spearman's challenges in every round need to have a similar theme, but it makes sense.

**HannahHannah81** Fri Oct 30, 2009 4:24 am

Important: I asked the ARG people about this: http://derrenbrown.co.uk/blog/2009/07/richard-wiseman-facebook/

They said:

Thank you for checking - please do not contact Richard Wiseman regarding this. Thank you!

**rogibson** Fri Oct 30, 2009 4:25 am

Sorry if I have double posted, but Storm you're right! Everybody go to www.scienceofscams.com and watch any video - the title sequence is full of 'empty' boxes, and Derren delivers his sequences from inside one of these boxes...

**rogibson** Fri Oct 30, 2009 4:27 am

What's more, from 0:23 to 0:30 of the 'Intro to Science of Scams' video, Derren's (rather unnatural) stance is almost identical to our mini-Derren in Spearman's picture!

Nephthys Fri Oct 30, 2009 4:28 am

I've just watched the lastest Science of Scams! Coincidence. It is odd that Derren stands at that odd position.... A lot about this is odd though...
