Hi guys,

This thread piqued my interest a little, after having not played anything in ages! Anyway I followed Beth on twitter and after a bit of DM chat she just sent me this message:

Quote:

Hi Jehane, how are you? Does this mean anything to you? N60 11.336 E24 49.406


Anyone else get this?


yup and its co ordinates to Konemiehentie 4

 		A quick wiki search gives this

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villa_Elfvik

Some kind of nature reserve?

And Tbelle ninja'd me for the rest but I had to use google translate.

Hi Tallulah,

I am still shaking with excitement, because of an email I just received! I was already copy-pasteing it to my blog, but then I realized that there is a slight chance that someone not-so-wanted person could be reading it. As it seems to be really important that whatever it is that Pasi hid, it should not be destroyed. Therefore, I thought that I contact my trusted people before publishing anything about it, so Avecira has no chance to find it first.

Apparently it is a location in Finland and we should find whatever is hidden in there. You don't happen to be anywhere near, do you? Or do you know anyone we could trust who could go and search for it?

Yours,
Beth

And here is the email I received:

-------------------------------------
Hi Beth!

I was extremely happy when I found your blog and that some righteous people are finally solving this mystery! If I could jump, I would be jumping with joy right now! You see, you are doing something I tried to do years ago. I had already lost hope and accepted the fact that the world will end up with the horrible LOLCat Apocalypse. Finally there is still a glimpse of light!

Luckily I made a backup plan for situations like this. Unfortunately I can't offer much assistance, but I will go through my personal notes and try to find the places where I hid my messages. Don't let anyone destroy them, so once you find the messages, spread the word as wide as you can! The world needs to be warned about this.

I found one note that says like this:
"In the middle of the trees. Just in case, tied with a string. N60 11.336 E24 49.406"

Yours Sincerely,
Pasi Liisola


What ya think Pasi Liisola is an anagram for?

Good catch. Sala means secret, so secret agent, kind of.

Speaking of which, I got this email this morning from Richie Rich:

Your talent is once again needed! We found the following list of words, but have no idea of their meaning. What about you? Any ideas?

Best Regards,

I submitted an answer for the three doors and got the first part of Beth's problem

Quote:
Thank you for your answer! You explained the solution exactly as it goes, very impressive. Are you up for another task? I was given the following list of words. Do you have any idea of what it could mean?

Best Regards,
Richard Exaltego (CEO - Avecira Solutions)

Here is the list of words:

Newslessness arrayal inertial zygomaticum toilworn disenjoyment undisguisedness renunciant conopodium


Looks like they don't want any person to have a complete puzzle.


Edit for question.
If Richie Rich is asking us to crack this as well then where did it come from?

I got it too. I'm a little late getting up today but I have a co-worker that is going to try and head there either after work or tomorrow morning. She does not have a car but said there are buses that go near there and she sounded like she liked an adventure. Smile I will keep you posted.

 		Wow, nice progress guys! I sent Richard pretty much what I posted here, regarding the string of words, and got this back:

Quote:
Really interesting stuff you have been able to figure out! However, none of those descriptions really ring a bell. We were just brainstorming this message as well at the office. As I trust you, I can tell you that a while ago we solved a message that had consonants and vowels separated and you had to form words from the list of letters. Could this be the other way around, somehow? Forming letters from words? What do you think?

Best Regards,
Rich


I'm trying to figure out how his would work, but I did just wake up, so give me a few minutes... Very Happy
