I’m excited about this new game, but I’m having a few problems. When I try to access any of the game sites or the cluechaser site in mozilla, it says that the site has been reported as an attack site, and it won’t let me see the source code or anything . When I try to view the sites in Internet Explorer, it won’t let me see the videos. I don’t know if this is just my computer being wacky, or if it’s an overall problem. Any tips for fixing these quirks on my computer woud be greatly appreciated. I can’t wait to get on the trail of E!!!

Eek! I’m having the hardest time trying to figure out “the three numbers before it add up to 13″. I thought I had it,.. I got a great image from that which made me “Think” but I’m not sure if that was right or I just don’t know where to go from there,….

You’re doing better than me Indiedezz. I’m still stuck on the houses. Assuming that I even have the right 237…
boofeslave07. Yes there were some issues with some malware being unknowingly added to the site. Thankfully, Google brought it to my attention. I have cleaned it all up and requested them to re-evaluate it but evidently that process takes a few days. In the meantime there is nothing I can do about the warnings. I can only suggest typing in the URL’s directly.
Perhaps pulling the video up in Youtube.com will allow you to see it. Go to youtube.com and type cluechaser into the search field and it should pull up the video. Let me know if that doesn’t work.

Aah yes. well that is deceiving.
So I took a step forward and stopped. Again.
Tried all combos I could think of of 10^9, Peters last name and the things thats not what I thought it was and the closest I got was all Chinese to me.
So.
is 10^9 abbreviated?
is the suffix as it seems in its entirety?
and is the answer a stand alone location or part of another place?

What have I found out today? That you can zoom in on the pictures that we have to look at on every computer in the world except the following:
1) My work computer;
2) My home computer.
And now that I’m at home, I can’t use somebody else’s computer to view the pictures. Technology hates me.

Think this will be a Looong game for me.
OK let me know if im in the general ball park.
1) found an image with some northern houses.
2) only found 2 numbers. only one appears to be on a house
3) number has two 6’s in it third number is a little blured but can guestimate.
4) took order state was founded and Appended to the number(s) found
5) took the postcode approach to determine what they might relate to.
Now stuck. Can’t workout if this is correct approach and I just can’t find the right image or if I’m totally off the track.

Well if I’m on the right track this might help you. Or it might get you to the same location I am.
273 is a special number on a certain scale.
I then searched the site based on that. One of the pictures I came up with is in a COLD region.

Got it past the halfway point. I think we’re facing the multiple possibilities that others faced. We found a picture for clue #4 that sounds like what Dante1 found. It seems pretty perfect but no luck so far getting further. If we’re wrong we might need some volunteer to put out the fire of our enthusiasm for this picture.

Don’t let the weather fool you … 237 equals where you need to start.
Soozook
August 6th, 2008
5:33 pm
Thanks mrsmathteacher. though not sure it helps. Just don’t think my mind works with this sort of puzzle. Pity
Forgetting the weather 237 is where i need to start.
So 237. I get a robot whose name “absolutely” matches what 237 is.
Is this where I start? If so then something in this picture is supposed to lead me to another picture with houses. Correct?
Alternatively using non absolute 237 gives me a number of possible images…..but which one.
UncleBen
August 6th, 2008
11:07 pm
Soozook, in the nicest way possible, I want to tell you to change your method of searching.
You are having a similar problem to what I had and although I didn’t understand mrsmathteacher, she is right.
Abandon the method you’re using and look for a different way to address your search for 237. Good luck!

I see I’m going to have to start thinking outside the box more. Its funny how your mind fixates on a given solution and you just can’t make it look elswhere without a prod.

Some of us had a hard time searching the site, I definitely did. The posts you want are #16, #31, #33 and #49.
