A CLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay so I've been looking for any possible meaning to the first clue. I don't expect to be right with these guesses, but I figure I should throw them out there just incase. It might help get other people thinking anyways. New ideas and such.
So the number..... the 1st clue (but I wonder if there's others before it hmmm... like roman numberal stuff hmm...like Ghosts I-IV heh...hmmm)
Anyways its-
790479-790534
I started looking in the forums first. But that didn't help. Too obvious probably. So I went started to google search. I only got 2 search results for it, and they were NIN of course, from today. So that doesn't count. But it suggested the number -55, because 790479 minus 790534 is -55. I did a google search for that but found nothing, and just random stuff using the word "negative." For 55 I got [
en.wikipedia.org] and [
en.wikipedia.org] (the year and the interstate). I did some other random calculations (not very fancy because math is by no means my specialty) and got the number 735, which lead me to [
en.wikipedia.org] --- a smallpox epidemic and for 479, [
en.wikipedia.org] ---area code for Arkansas, some kind of popcorn, etc. 534 [
en.wikipedia.org] (didn't look too promising) and 790, which got me a bunch of radio stations. I also tried binary for the hell of it and got --- 00110111001110010011000000110100001101110011100100101101001101110011100100110000001101010011001100110100
I don't think that'll do much for me
Well they might mean something but they all seemed really random, so I typed in"12 digits" for a google search, since that's how many numbers it has total.
That lead me to this:

Most US barcodes have 12-digits numbers according to the site hmmmmmmmmmmm
So that looked a little more realisitic in terms of clue options. I also looked at the code they gave and took the numbers "790479-790534" further (because each number is a combination of 4 numbers that add up to 7, because each code is "7 units wide" ) and I translated that-
1312-3112-3211-1132-1312-3112-1312-3112-3211-1231-1411-1132
But yeah........got stuck after that.
So I looked at my other options on google search for "12 digits" and found this article.

Just came out today. Hmm.. They are going to change social security numbers by April 1st? I don't know if they meant for everyone or just people getting them in the future, but that was interesting. That would suck to have to memorize a new one. And yeah like it said, forms and things would have to be changed. Could be a big mess, on top of the fact that social security isn't doing well. So that is all about the future............hmm...........................something to do with each person's individual identity in the U.S. and how things could get messed up, makes me think of Year Zero yep.
That's as far as I've been able to take it. But I might come up with something else later on hmm..... Hope that helps someone. Even if they are just insane, random guesses.... I know I was probably stretching the limits...but that's what you have to do before you can narrow it down I suppose.....

Oh and after all that ridiculous google searching.....unless I actually got somewhere with it, in which case, KICK ASS, I just have to mention..................... Moline, IL for a tour would be sweet heh heh heh heh heh

Of course I didn't think of that......okay I'll have to bust out the google earth, thanks Senorjutjut!
