Spoiler for

Year A was published = 1850
Russian 2pi = ??
Sun’s country code = 81
It’s not easy to be a gem of the day of independence = maybe 40 because ruby is the 40th year wedding anniversary gift?

Once we have all the numbers from the clues, I sure all we do next to to sum them because:
At the bottom was scrawled a note in hasty handwriting: Don’t let anyone see this. In summation, better dead than read!

Good try, but gotta figure out what term to replace the other part of the sentence with.

For part of the first pass code you will need to translate from math to english, and the second from english to math .

Edit: And phaze, yes, you have done a truly spectacular job on this series, but I always welcome more sharing of working ideas so that others may build upon them. I like to make my puzzles somewhat challenging and as a scientist, I highly encourage collaboration .

Thoughts - both are long-shots.

"It’s not easy to be a gem of the day of independence:"

This suggests a reference to Kermit the Frog's song "It's not easy being green." So we have green - Emerald. That's May. So we're dealing, perhaps, not with American Independence Day, but with a different Independence day altogether. There are several possibilities, but I should note that May 5 is not really Mexican Independence Day.

DEAD could be hexadecimal - 57005. But I don't think we've had any clues for that?

Okay...slightly revised clue...


Year A was published
Russian 2pi [Year]
Sun’s country code
It’s not easy[ness] to be a gem of the day of independence

Spoiler for Hint for the second code

B-kun was mad that they were using that woman's special code.
