for those just tuning in, this riddle has three clues so far......"complex rolex" + picture of the sky + sam dwells in NYC.......

now, the fact that EB is involved has me intrigued.....maybe that's why there are two bridges in the pic?? could this be a 4th clue?



great theater, sam!

can't wait to spend the next 1-4 weeks following this thread!
