Watch Out! Page 27

I'm sure it wasn't like this when I scanned it.  But then it wouldn't be, would it?  

What you have to ask is probably the wrong question.   

The problem may be that you assume that the second and third sentences are connected in any way.  Did you think of looking behind you?

I'm not sure what the time is.  What is the time?


Again, the scan didn't pick it up, but there's pencil writing on the margins of this page.  It reads:

 
"Six sums a day is far too many/None a day is why we wait"


I'm not sure why, but after I read that, I made sure that the office door was locked.  Not the first odd bit of behaviour I've been engaging in since I started scanning these pages.  For some reason, I get really jumpy whenever I see a satellite photo or two men drinking coffee at night.

From Watch Out, page 41

I've spent a few weeks working on uploading some scans from Watch Out.  It's taking much longer than anticipated; there's only me on this project and I've been using the facilities at the Taskerlands research offices just over the city limits.  It's nearly abandoned now, in the last stages of closing down, so it's nice and quiet, most of the time at least.

I did have some trouble with this one.  The scan kept coming out wrong; in fact, it showed an entirely different image, which I presume must be a fault with the hardware.


Pencil scrawl reads "The black car is not in this picture yet"


One of the many puzzles and activities designed to keep the readers occupied and attentive at all times, to everything that could well be around them.
