I dropped about a kilo of virtual shit out of my trouser leg reading this comment. :D

And fair play to all you clever bastards on here actually getting stuck in and helping solve this.

I'm not moving for the next 24hrs.

This is the first code they've released when a lot of people in America will still be out/at work or whatever. All of the other ones that BoC have controlled the release of (e.g. everything other than the record store ones) have been released at times more convenient to both sides of the Atlantic. So, I think this is just the start of things and it'll be a good few hours at the very least before this thing unravels more.

Great stuff though - I can genuinely say they've surprised me with the location of every single clue.

ISOGRAM :
An isogram (also known as a "nonpattern word") is a logological term for a word or phrase without a repeating letter. It is also used by some to mean a word or phrase in which each letter appears the same number of times, not necessarily just once.[1] Conveniently, the word itself is an isogram.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isogram

WAIT !
EDIT: Actually, some websites define ISOGRAM as : a line drawn on a map connecting points having the same numerical value of some variable.

I'm not very good at this Scooby Doo lark so I'm probably barking up the wrong tree, but the whois gives an address of 11400 W. Olympic Blvd. Suite 200 Los Angeles, CA 90064.

Google maps shows a Krav Maga Worldwide building at that address (an Israeli self defence technique I think?!)

Sanspants wrote:Hi everyone. New member here (fairly new to BOC, about two years now). I just wanted to say that this whole thing is amazing and point out that the VAX is running on version 7.7 Like '77. 1977.

I'm not at all saying this is a clue (I hate misinformation as much as everyone else) but I thought it's a nice reference to other details in this whole game.
i dont know the release dat for 7.7, but version 7.1 was in 1997. however, the initial release of VAX was October 25, 1977

Maybe the arrow in the code has some significance, i doubt it's there for no reason?

The reference to it in the source code is split across two lines, but you can get to the javascript source code by going to:

Now, my coding ended with the BBC Micro in about 1988, so I may be slow at the next steps...

I'm pretty sure that arrow is just a closing bracket

If by the arrow in the code you mean this: --> , that's just the end bit of the HTML comment tag which starts <!--

Unless there's another arrow I've missed there?

Shape? Hexagon? What does "same numerical value of some variable" means?

the "<!--" arrows around the hexagon? if so, those are just html comment tags to keep the text hidden from the browser
