Twelfth Floor

Twelfth Floor

The Twelfth Floor of Ternky Tower is home to P.K. Quello. It contains three rooms.

Numbers

  • The equation 6*π + y^2 = 61985/100 + (1197 * 15) appears on a chalkboard.
solution is y = 136.22, -136.22 (please read the talk page for this article before changing this number)
  • The chemical compund C3H3O5N appears on a chalkboard
The formula on the blackboard appears to be C3H3O5N This seems to be a molecule in smog, Peroxyacetyl nitrate

  • Wikipedia describes Peroxyacetyl nitrate as a "lachrymatory agent," a "chemical compound that stimulates the corneal nerves in the eyes to cause tearing." This is in keeping with Quello's experiment turning tears into clouds.
  • The framed picture in the foyer reads "He" - the symbol for helium in the periodic table.

Recurring Themes

  • Stolen Item From Another Floor: The Victrola from the Fifth Floor —the speaker can be seen between the IN chute and the fireplace.
  • Missing Item Found On Another Floor: Quello is missing six bars of lead. Three silver bars marked "Pb" (the chemical symbol for lead) and two other bars are lying nearby on the Tenth Floor.
  • Pink Doughtnut:
  • Eyes: A bowl of eyes and a single eye are sitting on a kitchen counter.

State - Highway - Mile

A copy of The Clock Without a Face can be seen on the Fifth Floor. Residents Vera Mazel & Josie Grey are self-described puzzle people. When discussing the book, Vera asks for help saying that she had found the state and the mile, but can't find the highway. This has lead to the speculation that each buried number can be found by deducing a state, highway, and mile for each floor using clues found on each floor. The following section can be used for documenting any speculation as to which state, mile, and highway to which this floor may hint.

State

  • A periodic table of the elements appears on the wall in the main room. The element argon (Ar) has been replaced with the letters "Mi" and is circles in red. This could signal Michigan, Arkansas or possibly Missouri.

Highway

  • Given that the correct answer to the chalkboard equation is 136.22, Hwy 136 intersects with 22nd Street in Unionville, Missouri (the first two letters of Mi on the Periodic Table).

Mile
