Some believe that world peace, freedom from hunger and health care for all will be achieved when the solution is found. There's a wing in the local nut house occupied by demented old bikies who spend their miserable lives wearing out pencils by the gross, using up paper by the ream, consulting arcane texts, trying to work out the secret of Cinelli serial numbers.
In the upcoming sequal to "Stargate," James Spader travels through the space-time continuum to again visit the alien culture that constructed the pyramids in the hope they can help him decode a Cinelli serial number database he has spent decades compiling and cross-referencing with frame features. Not to spoil the ending, but apparently it turns out that they have no clue.
