0 Guest Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Can you please provide a hint for your hint? I'm assuming you are wanting a hint on how to decode the hint. The code is a straghtforward letter substitution. You might start by trying to guess the smallest words and see if your guesses pan out in other places.

0 Guest Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Add me to the list. Think I'll have to await no.2. Will keep trying though! I'll assume you're wanting a hint on decoding the quote (as opposed to what to do with the result). I'd look at that contraction. You have a four-letter word with one letter after the apostrophe -- that should limit the choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Wilson Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Hey xamdam. Will have to retire for now, but a question. Are we looking at co-ordinates? Just an out-there guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Hey xamdam. Will have to retire for now, but a question. Are we looking at co-ordinates? Just an out-there guess. try plotting the points approximately on a graph, but don't see any thing .... one of the anagrams is 'chart erise'. Is it possible to chart the natural log of the points? Gotta feeling I may be speaking math nonsense, and haven't figured out how to ask the online graphing calculators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 I'm part way there. When I decoded the hint, I dropped two symbols, but I had to put them back in to use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Once you solve the code in hint #1, stick the solution in the Google Search Window (with quotes included), and you should land on a key page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 I did that, but I am coming up with horses manes and St. John's trips. So I "research it" but I must be making a mistake somewhere. I found a coordinates converter, but so far no joy there either.... Still trying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 {-2.26,-79.8815} 5 works. It was hard to make the instruction very clear with the constraints -- it can be interpreted in quite a few ways, apparently. (I would have liked to pluralize that last word.) I'll reveal what I was trying to say when the votes are in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you figure out the code,try to follow the coded instruction without giving away
the method of decoding (even in spoilers), so that more than one person can try it.
