The picture of this card on their site has the UV text visible! Prodding us again, MC?

Yanka was correct in that the hands DO work like a normal clock, rather than one going in the opposite direction.

The answer is 7:38.

Dang! I have to wait until tomorrow now. Thanks Bri and Yanka! Wink

I have tried entering 6:32, 6:27, and 6:28 as solutions and none were accepted. Does anyone else have any other ideas?

Maybe we have to assume the hands are travelling in the same direction.

Maybe they want us there at the right *second* too, and also need AM or PM? Confused

ACK! Sorry, I misunderstood what everyone was talking about and thought you meant clock hands both moving in the same direction as they normally do, not that one goes one way and the other goes the other way. I guess I'm eating fish for tea.

Isn't that exactly what she said? That is what I based my calculations upon.

Dunno if that helps Razz

Showed this card to my Dad yesterday and straight away he said "So Sinister goes left and Dexter goes right...."
"Whoa whoa whoa," I said, "What makes you say that?"
"Because Sinister is left and Dexter is right. It's heraldry" He said, as if to imply "What, doesn't everyone know about heraldic terms and coats of arms?"

So I Wikied up Heraldry and whaddaya know?

'Dexter ("right" in Latin) is the left side of the shield, and sinister ("left") is the right, as seen by the viewer.'

So maybe the clock-hands theory needs to be revised.

BriEnigma, elsewhere on these forums you said this:

You know--the other postcards had the same message, but now that we have cards released, and specifically <a href="http://perplexcitycardcatalog.com/view.php?item=146">a card that mentions gatehouses</a>, I have started thinking. The "twice daily" thing sort of reminds me of a clock. Also, the mention of gatehouse 1 and gatehouse 12 bring to mind clock faces. It may mean nothing now, but might be useful for a future puzzle.

surely this means something here?

VERY old posts

The writing around the logo is just part of the logo, with the names of the founders of the academy (or something along those lines anyway - search through the old forum posts)

This may be nothing but I noticed there is writing around the seal at the top of the letter. Does anybody have a magnifying glass to read what it says?

I sort of assumed that 'electric splash' perhaps referred to how they conducted the theft, ie, using some low-level, highly-specific EMP device or Marx generator-esque machine to disrupt communication/security.

Or maybe it's just the new dance craze and the message merely lists the steps Wink

Though the card does seem to indicate that there are 5 players, not four. Madame Bianca? Brother..something or other? (Though, naturally, BB could stand for a nickname or other secret identity.)

Hi all,

Maybe we can see a link with the Reynolds ioniser and the three Klebold plates found at the Five of Cups?

I'm betting on the latter and that I need to find a fluorescent-tube style blacklight.

Yeah, Bri ... I used a pretty powerful fluoro-tube blacklight. It was quite a thrill when I finally found something with it, let me tell you.

I've checked on my card with a flouro-tube blacklight and its definitely there! These cards are hella cool.

Great find appleTRON!

Yep it is the light. I checked it with the screw-in kind first and couldn't see anything at all so I tried again with a fluoro-tube blacklight and was able to see it. Nice find.
