I have to go out into the wilds of Winchester now :-( I've tidied the Images page but think we should limit it to include only postcards, stamps, hexagons and any unique images which DON'T have shadows. There seems to be a difference between those images with shadows (like they are lying over the page) and those without (which look printed on the page). I think the rivers image, which has a blue edge like the other 'blue-edged cards', is part of that series along with the code/extra card on the same page (P3). That makes eight blue-edged/word pair cards, and eight red spots along the river... I guess each card is a real place to find! Will carry on later :-) Good work on the Mr Messy Trail!! --JoC (talk) 13:06, 16 December 2017 (GMT)
- Yes! There is a River Mess!!! In Luxembourg - and Bergem is a place along it (BE GERM). Have moved the river image to the blue-edge cards page; would love to carry on with that one later! --JoC (talk) 13:19, 16 December 2017 (GMT)
- Nice work! You can zoom in and follow the course of the Mess here, northward from its junction with the Alzette http://latitude.to/articles-by-country/lu/luxembourg/297350/mess-river - its course corresponds to that in ATH image, which would then put Bergem as the first dot (nearest the compass rose). Back over to you!
Messiaen: I've added some stuff on the Poster page, but it may need to be moved/reorganized later --James (talk) 11:29, 16 December 2017 (GMT)
- I think that is fantastic - you've found loads of connections there! --JoC (talk) 12:27, 16 December 2017 (GMT)
Stayed up far too late, but made a map (resisted following Mr Messy's trail, though) :-) Happy puzzling tomorrow (today!) --JoC (talk) 06:19, 16 December 2017 (GMT)
- I slept, yay. Thought I'd cut out the hexagons and do a puzzle - can we post what we want to work on so that two people aren't duplicating effort?! x --JoC (talk) 08:31, 16 December 2017 (GMT)
- I'm numbering the hexagons first, so I don't lose track, and need to follow the pink thread, too - because I think it will help assist working out the order they're placed in the grey-bordered map (which I think may be a county outline but can't work out which one!) Will add the hexagon nos. to the Images page. --JoC (talk) 09:18, 16 December 2017 (GMT)
- Whoever can edit down pdf files - please can we have a postcard image added to the P3 Images table?! I've put in the description (it's a plain postcard - not sure if the musical note is on the image or not?) Jo
- Plus three images are missing from P4 :-) Have put descriptions as placeholders. And the postcard birth chart image is needed from P8.
- On P9 an image has sneaked in from one of the blue-edge cards (with capitalised words on them); probably worth moving to a new page just for those? On P10, there are some misc. bird images because that's the page with the bird code/puzzle, which uses birds from the stamps (and maybe also some new ones!) Can leave for now and tidy later; just noting to remind myself!
- Wow! Good work. Rachel and I just followed Mr Messy's trail and we found that it went through every hex exactly once and ended at the hex with the image of a treasure chest! The order is probably important, but I don't see how we would use it yet. Rachel is going to write down that order. I was going to write a computer program to put the hexes into the grid, but I can hold off on that if you want to do it yourself. I think it will be really hard though. --Oscar Cunningham (talk) 10:24, 16 December 2017 (GMT)
- Ooh, if you can write a program for it that would be awesome! I've given each hex a unique no. so would be grateful if we can keep those. I'm going to edit the Images table now to put things in the same order, left to right. So do please carry on with the hexes!! I have to go Xmas shopping in a bit :-) x --JoC (talk) 10:59, 16 December 2017 (GMT) - PS, I had a thought about the order. If the grey-edged container represents a county (for instance), then travelling through the Mr Messy hex route would lead to ending at the location marked by the treasure chest... maybe a bit simplistic though?

You've all done amazing things and I have a lot to catch up on :-) My first thought is all the pages fit together, following the red lines, so I'm laying them out. Does anyone know how to make thumbnail size pages?! --JoC (talk) 23:37, 15 December 2017 (GMT)
- Good plan! I think the zig-zag lines will make a diamond into which we have to place the hexagons with the coloured edges matching where the pieces touch. You could cut out the thumbnails from the image on the ATH site https://pablosath.com/archive/2017/images/ath2017-montage.jpg. Also I think we should move the images to a new "Images" page, but I'll let James to that so that I don't mess up his flow.
- Done! What fun! Going to bed now. James
