The codes as Grid Coordinates: NT936557, NT717228, NT519225, NT699742. http://gridreferencefinder.com/#

can you explain to me how this works? X and Y lat and longitude, 4 codes yea, which is X and Y? but we've 2 more to go so where does that leave us?

i dunno how to use this, sorry

It's basically the same idea as proposed as a solution to the red moon code. In that case it was three points triangulating a location. In this case it's not clear. I suggested geo caching but at least one looks like it's on private property. Check the other thread.

thanks! yea i think i follow now, just playing with it here now myself, right click wont work for me

i want to draw my own little hexagon for myself

Has the film The Numbers Station, starring John Cusack been mentioned yet?

Would be a shame if what looks like a terrible film got associated with BOC.

No TV ad in the UK tonight.

Personally, my money's on [as] as the TV station it will be broadcast on, just because of their relationship with Warp and the target audience and what not.

True, hopefully someone can keep an eye out tonight.

Time to revisit their youtube stuff for any clues.. Also someone said a june 24th date would make sense cuz of 666 but I'm surprised they didn't say a june 6th date would make sense

Here's a link to the numbers mapped as geo-cords that works a bit better:

pipes (|) are notoriously badly handled in URLs

That's extremely tantalising to see those numbers form the beginnings of a shape. Surely it can only be a pentagon given how the existing numbers are mapped, and the fact that there are only 6 numbers/points? A hexagon would require 8 numbers/points

Thats an octagon you're thinking of there, a hexagon only has 6 points

I'm sorry what?

no, see thats the thing, the hexagon has 6 points, we need 2 more points to shape this.

octagon you're thinking of

though the way its looking, its not turning out to be a nice shaped hexagon, i'd have drawn better myself

But a pentagon is only 5.

Apologies, apparently I lack a basic knowledge of shapes!! Still, it looks like it would be a bit of a lopsided hexagon. It's just semantics though I guess, the fact that they map so well is pretty cool!

[dj_todos]

Oh no, not coordinates!!!

I don't think I can handle all that again.

yes a funny shaped hexy indeed, the 2 letters required before it now have thrown me slightly off this theory. these co-ordinates can be used anywhere, its the damn NT thats taking us there not the numbers! ahhhhh

Yeah I think you're probably right to be a bit dubious. Maybe they just used that shape on the map to get the numbers, but their actual purpose is something else (password, url, whatever)?

Hmmm, just thinking about some of the stuff Joyrex was throwing out yesterday...

He repeatedly mentioned Silence (at one point, specifically Radio Silence). IMHO meaning after the radio broadcasts, it's going silent for x amount of time. Then, earlier before the radio silence bit (I believe) he was quoted as:

Joyrex April 23rd: My point was they are not (yet) using online specifically to promote this

This quote happened right around the same time as BBC1 - which I wouldn't consider anything related to "online" specific (nor NPR).

My guess? After the radio broadcasts, we get silence and the next clues will be web related. Either decoded, leaked or otherwise will reveal the next clue(s). Oh, and a revamped boardsofcanada.com for the finale. I know we've had Youtube already, but I'm thinking more along the lines of web pages themselves.

Thoughts?

I said that. 6/6 just makes too much sense lol. Actually I was going off the thinking that someone mentioned the NPR code could be reversed, which would put 24 as the first 2 numbers and 6 as the last, which in UK date terms would be the 24th of June. But I don't really put any stock in the whole reverse code thing, though boc have been known for their reverse melodies. Oh, the insanity!

[ambivalenceavenue]

This guy seems quite intrigued by the number six: http://www.reddit.com/r/boardsofcanada/ ... umber_six/
They even made a new account (the_number_six) to post their theory. Obviously another fan who's just as desperate for a release as us!

[DaveJ]

Any thoughts on why the DJ on BBC kept referring to Trails again and again in a very obvious fashion during the broadcast yesterday which had the code?

I really thought something may happen today to do with Trails, seeing as they moved the position of the video too and it was already being speculated that it would have something to do with the next one.

I just think it much have some relevance when the DJ kept referring to it, surely a lot of you heard this yesterday?

This quote happened right around the same time as BBC1 - which I wouldn't consider anything related to "online" specific (nor NPR).

Just to avoid confusion, the BBC Radio station referred to is (BBC) Radio 1, while BBC1 is the first television channel; very much separate. I imagine there shouldn't be any such broadcasts on BBC1!

In 10 minutes or so, we'll be 24 hours past the point that number set 4 was unveiled. It's starting to feel like maybe we won't get anything today, I'd love to be proven wrong though.
