Flight 41 by Orville Wright was documented with photos and flew 12 miles, another good clue....thanks for pointing out that “41”! The number 98 is just to the left when looking at the image, 98 pounds was the weight of the glider. The "73" in the hands also averages the longitude to 74. I hope you can swim. The 73 in the hands however will be more controversial than the 41.  |

What about that strange kilt worn by the golden knight? There's only one thing I have noticed that makes sense to me that it could represent. Not only by it's appearance but also by the location in the image. Nathan's hot dog stand/wagon is a regular fixture at the corner of Central Park South and Grand Army Plaza, just in front of and to the left of the Sherman statue. Nathan's is also a famous New York icon.  |

So 99% of the time the numbers represent latitude and Longitude, but not this 1 time? |

I'd like to offer you guys my revised solution to this New York City puzzle. I believe the item which may be last touched or first seen standing is the large street light at the edge of Grand Army Plaza. The reason I have come to believe this is that all the other imagery is taken from the perspective of standing across the street from Grand Army Plaza in front of Pulitzer Fountain Square. From that perspective, the street light is the closest thing to you on the other side of the street, therefore first seen standing. If you were leaving that area, it could be the last thing touched. If you stand under the light and look north at the wing (angel's wing), a small distance in front of you is the southwest corner of a greenspace (look north at the wing and dig). I believe that to be the casque location.  |

So 99% of the time the numbers represent latitude and Longitude, but not this 1 time? No, what it means is that some puzzles have other numbers hidden in them that aren’t related to lat/long. For example the number “98” is in the North Carolina image despite not being a lat/long clue...there are other numbers in the image to serve that purpose. The Milwaukee puzzle doesn’t use lat/long at all, which is why it has a rebus. |

I think I posted the Long/lat for Milwaukee here a while back. They are in the bug. Having the original book helps. Not very visible in the scans. Also X, why are you picking and choosing numbers when both left and right hands have clear obvious numbers? 79 by dark shadows (right hand) and 70 in the negative space, left hand.   |

Hey choice, I'm just trying to figure this stuff out the best that I can. I do believe the first thing to establish is the location (a place to start). If you find the numbers 41 and 43 in an image, I think it's pretty safe to conclude the latitude is most likely around 42 degrees. Can you give an example in a solved puzzle where the numbers represented something other than location? I also think that not every potential number or shape you can find in the images was intentional. Somethings are just negative space and we have to discern which shapes actual mean something. I also think if you look to close, you can get lost in the highlights and shadows of texture and brushstrokes. |

Can you give an example in a solved puzzle where the numbers represented something other than location? Yes, Boston had the zip code for the north end of town reading backwards in the flower. I assumed that by "location" you meant long/lat. Because all clues in the puzzles are so you can narrow down to the location of casks. |

I certainly see the possibility of the zip code although the 5 is somewhat sketchy. I personally would still have took that for the latitude of 42 degrees, even though it's shown on the bracelet. After all, he gives the 71 degrees longitude twice as well.  |

Missed it completely. It's 02113

Missed it completely. It's 02113 Unless Palencar said it was so on Exhibition Unknown, I'd go with neither. Although the 02115 would have been a good baseball clue since it's near Fenway Park. |

And it would be nowhere close to the north-end.

And it would be nowhere close to the north-end. If it really is the zip code then that was a great find. I liked the way he made you read the 71 counterclockwise like you were running bases. I'm sure there are plenty of clues that go unnoticed. |

The hidden profile. This is the lamp post or one identical to it, that I think is the "under that which may be last touched or first seen standing". Do you see it?  |

Not figured out the numbers yet? Here's a clue. Roanoke island area's zip codes start with 279. |
