Now then...
First find the "Whole Sedan" (Wolram you may remember this. o_O) From there go 22.27 km on a heading of 71.72 degrees, find a "tower", a screenshot from G Earth or the coordinates will do. This place is on Earth although you can't walk to it.

Darn it 1oldman2, i need another clue.
 
  • #789
me too please

Okay, Sedan isn't a car or a planetary body, think big big bang. there is more to "whole" than initially meets the eye. :wink:

I tried various words like "universe" or "universal" but couldn't find enough in the clue to narrow it down.

The rest of the instructions appear to land up at a hexagonal tower within some sort of airfield (using trigonometry as I don't know of any Google Maps way to do bearings and distances as suggested), but the area is strikingly anonymous.

Ah, should have guessed: Groom Lake - Area 51

How did you get the bearing and distance? I'm interested to know.

Aren't we still awaiting a further clue or answer to this one? Or did I miss something?

I'd prefer to resolve yours first (assuming I didn't miss it).

Another one lol?

I drift in the silence

Clue #1: A professor took a picture of me in the midnight hour
then I faded away like the freshness of a morning shower

Clue #2: You can see her complete lifetime
in pictures and graphs of her time around us

Clue #3: The professor tried to catch me gleaming
for he understood I was leaving

Clue #4: He ran outside but it was in vain
for she was carried away into darkness' chains
