Now here’s a tale – I’ve been following a set of cryptic clues over the last few weeks, including a planted classified ad in the London Lite, purportedly coming from an organisation calling themselves the 7th Syndikate.

I’m currently involved in one of those spooky little online ‘treasure hunts’ at the moment, where you don’t know whether it will end up in a job offer, or whether its just a viral marketing ploy.
