It is interesting that the cover is actually page 1 by the way the pages are numbered in Fandango. Most covers of books are not included in the page numbering.

TxTH sorry i didn't mean to offend. I was just simply stating that Stockwell was pretty adamant on multiple occasions that all everything you need is in the book. I only know a piano because i am a musician myself, but I try into to let that suck me into that train of thought. There is alot going on in this illustration> Its probably the one Ive spent the most time on yet can't decide on a definitive strategy. The only thing to go off of is the fact he eludes to things that are opposite in the text page prior. Of course you can get sucked into zodiac opposites too, but then again, you would have needed to have prior knowledge. No offense taken. I understand what you are saying about everything you need is in the book. And I also agree that this page is key to the final solution. There is just so much here in this one image to comprehend and figure out what he is trying to get us to see.

Then your theory must also be doubtful since you depended on knowing what a real keyboard looks like to come up with your hypothesis. I'm not declaring what is right or wrong but that there is simply more than one way to look at it. I hope you are 100% correct and you can put Fandango to rest by finding the key! I am still a long way from any solution.

@susb823 That is correct. Also, if you take that "extra" key and draw a line down the middle of it, the left half of the keyboard is a mirror image of the right half so from that point of view there are no extra keys. Splitting the key in half would in theory cut out the part of the black key (F#/Bb)) that would have been visible if you looked at the whole key.

I loved that search. I think I found one of the key clues but I didn't understand it at the time. It was such an obvious clue that surely other people got it. It was the clue that deciphered to "ignore state shapes". If you had this book you will remember there were several state shapes in the pictures. What it didn't say was to ignore the state names. If you took the abbreviations of the state names you came up with cont div, an abbreviation for the continental divide. I still have a copy of the book and look at it every once in a while and it brings back pleasant memories of times long past. I don't dwell on the controversy because the journey was so fantastic. As a result of my search, my wife and I went to the least visited spot of any National Park in the United States. Very scary. Interesting anyway.
Happy searching!

I was an avid fan of the Avalon Hill games in my HS and College days. I owned probably 20 different games at that time. Two of my all time favorites were Blitzkreig and Battle of the Bulge. These were followed closely by two Naval games - Midway and Jutland. Here is a photo of my well worn Battle of the Bulge game that I still own and get out and play solo occasionally. I am also an avid Civil War Gamer even today. I belonged to the American Civil War Game Club (http://www.wargame.ch/wc/acw/) for several year before I moved on to other pursuits. They still use a database program I wrote for them to keep all records of every fight logged by members of the club over the years. The games played here are computerized board games by John Tiller and others that cover all the major battles of the Civil War. Games are played by Email sending zipped files back and forth.

Well, that narrows it down considerably considering the number of continents cut out. Of course there are one or two cities in Europe the last I heard. And, of course, the possibility exists the building is not even in a city or village. Looking forward to the hunt! TxTH

Jenny, It was a great hunt and there is no need to apologize as far as I am concerned. Besides, I was waiting to see how you reconciled 1500 PST to 1500 PDT. Keep up the great work! TxTH

Am I missing something?
"It is the most prominent, obvious, and largest item missing. An Agent will not need to scrutinize the missing piece of the image to correctly identify or see what was there."
Does this not say you do not need to know what is on the missing piece or am I interpreting it wrong?

... it will be precise. So the answer will be precise. And whatever that location is, is sufficient enough to transmit to T4THQ. Hi Jenny, first time doing one of these hunts, and it looks really cool! I was wondering how precise is precise? Is it just a building ( e.g. The Library of Congress), or a very specific place in the building where only a giant diamond would fit ( e.g. in the left breast pocket of the red peacoat in the west cloakroom of the the Library of Congress). I only ask because that's where I keep my giant diamond and I don't want anyone taking it. Wow, I just happen to be in the Library of Congress this afternoon. I think I will go sneak into the west cloakroom for a couple of minutes!

copy and pasted from post of Dispatch #6:Note from T4THQ:Good Afternoon T4T Secret Agents Dispatch #6 Posted and includes transcriptions of the previous audio Dispatches (2,3, and 5). Hi all. First of all, thanks all for playing! This is so exciting for us at T4THQ. We congratulate Agents for doing an awesome job so far! ...We realize it might not be for everyone.... The fun is only beginning! Lots of great things ahead! Best of luck to all! Thanks Jenny for this great update. I think you hit the nail on the head with the "...We realize it might not be for everyone..." statement. You definitely can't please everyone and you'd go crazy if you tried to do that. With as many puzzles and quests that are out there everyone can do their own preferences. I think that the fact that you concentrate on the "fun" part and are willing to learn and adapt as you experiment with different formats is one of the many things that you do that make this site so great. My best wishes for you and I cheer you on as you venture into the unknown! I still stand with my first statement that I have the location for Mission #001 narrowed down to the Northern Hemisphere. Hey...I have a 50-50 chance of being right don't I? TxTH

Forrest receives a lot of email every day from people searching for the treasure and they tell him where they have been. That is how he knows that people have been within 200 feet. Fenn talked about the tragedy and the strange history of his treasure to Richard B. Stolley, founding editor of PEOPLE and his neighbor in Santa Fe. (It is posted as a question-answer interview.) "Of those 65,000 searchers, have any gotten close? Some people have gotten within 200 feet. I know that because afterwards they told me where they were."
