Very good find, here is a book containing an explanation of asterisms in gems

http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=vRCndp0gvDcC&pg=PA47&lpg=PA47&dq=asterism%2Bgem&source=web&ots=_TZA4zZmHd&sig=q8o7cukZTSzSyw337Kg74BruK9w&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=10&ct=result#PPA48,M1

See the bottom of page 48, "...garnet has been known to produce even an eight or twelve rayed star, but this is rare."

yeah, lol, thats what i was thinking. Maybe garnet did something to upset finch so finch decided to make an annyoingly hard silver where the answer is related to garnet, and just wait for the "earthlings" to form a big lynchmob against him.

Some thoughts on something that might be a dead end:

Spoiler: (highlight to read)

If the red discs are years, and the theme is rockets, then a little searching turns up

(19)02 is the year that 'Le Voyage Dans La Lune' (the fist film about a rocket trip into space

06/12/(19)25 (note the three numbers are all together in the pattern) is the date that Robert Goddard successfully tested a liquid-fuel rocket engine for the first time.

...aaaaand that's it.

I did do some research around AndyAndy's comets and found that they are indeed numbered and some are designated "P" and some "D" - I had hoped the D's might end up looking like a familiar constellation - that didn't work...

I think this card is about Planet X. Wiki says that in comet notation the letter A stands for something which was regarded wrongly as asteroid but is really a planet. The 02 connected with the AP? could be 1902 which is a significant date in the history of the search for Planet X

I very much doubt it, but this looks like the sri chakra symbol (See google images), or the merkaba possibly

Is anyone working on this?

Ive come up with another idea:

Spoiler: (highlight to read)

Maybe this is connected to the whole 42 conspiracy from hitchikers guide to the galaxy. Look up the 42 Puzzle. Only problem is the pic only contains 41 circles.

thats fine, may i suggest you ask the OFSTED if "they have the answer", lmao.

Also a nice idea would be to use this card as the lesson starter, just to see if any of your bunch can answer, he he.

I did wonder if it could be something to do with...

Spoiler: (highlight to read)

Uranus, it being the 7th planet (P&7) and has 27 moons... can't make sense of the other 6 numbers though

hmmmm, maybe. I think the problem with this card is the fact that there are lots of things it could be and not many clues on the card to direct you
