I love it that C&Cs can simultaneously make you feel so intelligent and so stupid at the same time...

Why did MPC provide a printout of the coin (on their hint page) with instructions on how to print it to the proper scale, if it was not used in a way that the scale mattered? Maybe this is being saved for the next issue?

There are enough blatant mistakes in The Codex to make it an unreliable narrator, ykwim?

A search for J.K. Hawthorne turned up a 1940 census for a gentleman by that name who was born in 1871 (the same year as on the token). The address on the census still exists, but doesn't seem out of the ordinary on Street View outside of some bright teal trim. However, McCabe mumbled about "coordinates" in the "Vaulted Ambition" article, which got me thinking about the coordinates of the address:
| Degrees Lat Long | 39.9664067°, -075.1749255° | | Degrees Minutes | 39°57.98440', -075°10.49553' | | Degrees Minutes Seconds | 39°57'59.0641", -075°10'29.7318"
|
While the numbers 39 and 57 are on the BINGO card, none of the other numbers seem to be worthwhile. Eerily, when I googled the location you mentioned, I discovered it to be an address I walk past often on my way to work! |
