Bollywood3d update

There’s nothing much there yet, but the Bollywood3d web site is live. One Sanjit, apparently associated with the effort, commented on my last post on the subject.  He mentioned that, yes, it’ll be possible for people in the U.S. to play, so I’ll be watching very, very closely.

Search for Bourne—Day 12

Here’s a complete spoiler for the answer to today’s challenge in the Ultimate Search for Bourne.

We’re in New York City now (the metropolis that was the solution to yesterday’s puzzle), and the briefing tells us to head back to Dater Notes to check Nicky Parson’s (buckeye2099) profile. As I guessed yesterday, the photo of a napkin with a rough map with Broadway on it (and a kiss) scribbled on it is the key. It’s named with one of Bourne’s earlier aliases—John Michael Kane (as a reader pointed out in yesterday’s comments; thanks John!). The briefing explicitly tells us to key the photo’s URL into the image processor.

Applying filter C reveals the solution: Madison Square Park. Paste this into the communication panel, and we’re done.

Edit: Note that commenters discovered that the photo can be displayed without the “www,” but the image processor requers it. Use the URL

http://www.daternotes.com/images/profile_photoAlbum/
JOHN_MICHAEL_KANE.jpg

(with no line break, of course) in the image processor if you want to get it to work. You can also right-click on the link and choose “Copy Shortcut” or “Copy Link Location” or your browsers equivalent and paste it into the image processor.

If I ever said it looked as if the puzzles were getting harder, I take it back. This is absurdly easy!

Since we’re in a new city, we only get one camera. I went with the obvious choice: Madison Square Park.
