Same here
It would also make sense that they are all the same, considering it seems to be a key of some kind to a puzzle.

For what it's worth, many of the numbers appear in articles this issue.

It's actually not the numbers that you need to be looking for.

Not sure if this is right or not, but when I entered the Bingo numbers (54 70, 55 62) as latitude and longitude on www.findlatitudeandlongitude.com it took me to a location in Russia. Selected Location (output)* Address:Unnamed Road, Respublika Bashkortostan, Russia, 453444 Latitude:55.176078° Longitude:56.035019°

Good idea, but you might be going in the wrong direction.

The Perplexle puzzle from issue 1 has the same number of squares and they're somehow related. I also noticed that the numbers on the bingo card are in ascending order from left to right the whole way across. But it you put them in numberic order, it doesn't appear to make any sense.

Each row on a bingo card will always run in ascending order, since B is 1-15, I is 16-30, N is 31-45, etc., it's a property of bingo cards.

That's how BINGO cards work.
Courtesy Wikipedia - 75-ball Bingo Cards Players use cards that feature five columns of five squares each, with every square containing a number (except the middle square, which is designated a "FREE" space). The columns are labeled "B" (numbers 1–15), "I" (numbers 16–30), "N" (numbers 31–45), "G" (numbers 46–60), and "O" (numbers 61–75).

Has this been solved? If so, I could sure use a call on the clue phone.

Speaking of what you normally do with bingo cards...
One of the first things you do is place a mark (or token) on the free space.
It just so happens that we have a token, and there's a number one on the back.
Not saying it's anything yet, just throwing ideas against the wall here

It's almost as if BINGO players speak a different language.
