there are literally probably hundreds of those poles with similar tags....not to mention it looks like it's been there for 30 years.

Maybe. Some of their sounds also sound like they were around 30 years ago.

I don't buy this, but it is a coincidence that its a kind of turquoise colour haha.

But seriously, if BoC/Warp had expected people to go to all that trouble to go out there, surely the clue would have been a bit more obvious than some broken old plate on a pole?

If this were the number it would totally break the pattern (music and spoken numbers). And what's that "S"?

I don't think this is the right path

Agreed. Plus all the numbers have been given in audio, so I'd imagine that trend will continue for the final number.

You guys are right about the audio. Hoping he checks for any sort of audio signal [am/fm] while he's there.

quite impressed that he actually found the exact location and went out there, but i'm afraid it's probably not going to yield anything

6 digit number on a pole at the location of the BoC video? I think it's most definitely the next clue. It fits. Maybe the other 5 numbers belong to other poles??

Given that the images of the number on the pole and the bathroom drawing(s) are legitimate, perhaps the drawing is trying to indicate how to interpret the 36 digits. There are 9 green/yellow bars in that drawing, which could possibly mean that the 36 digits should be interpreted in chunks of 4, since 36 / 9 = 4, thus a correct interpretation of the 36 digits should result in 9 entities of data. The fact that the 9 bars are enclosed by a total of 18 lines converging in a total of 2 points could also indicate that the 36 digits should be interpreted as chunks of 36 / 18 = 2 digits, which should then be coupled in some way. Just some thoughts. We don't even know whether these images are legitimate. However, it would be make sense that after being supplied with the final set of digits (on the pole), we should now receive hints on how the cipher works, which could be the image in the bathroom.
