Where is Alvar Hanso?
Alert readers Larry and Paul bring to my attention that the NEW CLUE is up! Go to the Executive Bios page and click the date under Alvar's picture for an interesting ride courtesy of Persephone.
I've added details of the new stuff to the "game so far" entry.
And if you've recently joined us in this Lost Experience thing (welcome!), it's a good idea to read that "game so far" post (I know, it's long, but it'll catch you up). I've also added some new stuff about some of the sites people are mentioning, too, so even if you're NOT new it might be worth a look. That entry is permanently linked on the right side of the page, here, too.
• WFAA.com
• The record has stopped skipping: 5.8, "LaFleur"
• 5.8: LaFleur - Some thoughts
• More 5.7
• Meh. Episode 5.7, "The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham"
• Lost EP 5.6 "316" is there a pregnant lady on the plane?
Movable Type 4.1
Okay, I didn't take into account numbers in my morse code. I thought the last cypher was Dash Dash Dot, which if using numbers could be the number 9, making it Safe 9. Might be alluding to tomorrow being another clue.
The Morse-Code at the end of the clue translates to: "SAFE G"
I thought numbers were 5 bits, not 3.
If it's 9, I guess that means tomorrow.
'9' (tomorrow) would make sense. As the game was launched here in the UK last tuesday during an ad break in Lost, i would imagine we will be given our next 'televised' clue during the airing of the next episode here tomorrow night.
Yeah, I found a site that lists 9 as long dash, long dash, dot. That's where I got it from.
Well, Doug, a "G" is kind of like an upside-down "9" :-)
So, first it's safe May 1, then May 6, then May 8, now the 9th. Are we all dumb at deciphering this stuff or is Persephone jerking us around a little?
lazy transcript:
notice the grainy far away picture?
it doesn't match anyone else?
and then a sequence of dates around europe and another message from persephone saying:
this is the last public record i found of any public appearance of alvar hanso
the man hasn't been seen in public since 2002!!!
IS HE HIDING?
ALVAR HANSO WAS NEVER THERE
ta daaa!
Well the g could also be split up into SAVE ME as well..considering we are dealing with a missing person or possible kidnapping...
I'm sorry, I saw the Joop clue, and the map clue about the "Bermuda Triangle" cuba theory, but am I the only person that when I sign up for the newsletter all I get is "can you read this?" and a buch of child scribble in the background of the website?? AND I still can't get the clue from today :-(
Avalon, when you see the "can you read this" on the newsletter page, if you answer "Yes" in the box and hit enter, more stuff happens...
I got a screen capture of the man behing Joops face and it is the man on the mental health screen. It's a close up of his "upper" head. Not sure how to post it to this site or who to e-mail it to, so if anyone wants to see it, e-mail me and I'll send it to you.
Tobias
Guess I should give ya'll my e-mail huh?!?!?
tobylehman@cox.net

The date under Alvar Hanso isn't a link for me? I've done all the other steps but nothing seems to make it work. Ny Ideas?
Hey, thought I'd mention that the rss feed is working now. I have it set to update on my Livejournal account (along with this blog, too). Thank for all the work and research, man!
Also, skittles, try refreshing the site. Pushing f5.
I've tried refreshing it and going through every stage again but still nothing. Maybe it's the computer I'm on. I am in the Uni library!
Has anyone noticed a change at www.widmoregroup.com ? I know this may be a "fan site" but when I was looking at it on Saturday there were no links to navigate within the site; today there are links including a news item dated today:
2006.05.08 - Widmore Group announces the opening of Widmore Laboratories newest pharmaceutical manufacturing facility in Mississauga, Ontario. The new facility has been custom built for Widmore with the latest technology to ensure sterilization standards and product segregation.
> Has anyone noticed a change at www.widmoregroup.com?
I hadn't until you mentioned it, Chris. But in my seemingly constant search for irrelevant information...
If you substitute the big "6" on the Contact Us page for the "X" at the end of the string of numbers in the footer of the homepage, you get:
108,208,926
Which, in kilometers, is the distance of the semi-major axis of the orbit of the planet Venus.
Woohoo.
I figuered it out. Thanks ellen!!
Has anyone noticed the change on the www.oceanicairlines.com website??
the folks over at thetailsection.com have unearthed all kinds of interesting photo related "news". find out what they know here:
http://www.thetailsection.com/forums/lost-experience-general/1512-picture-under-hansos-picture.html
messages from the island have appeared on the oceanic-air.com site. one is from "sally" and the other is unsigned. do a "select all" and then c&p into a word doc to see them. (along with claire's ticket and michael's drawings, if you haven't peeked at those already.)
