Complete speculation but I listened to the message on the phone number given on the back of the photo and I make out the words that everyone is having trouble with as "Morgado". Googling this gave:
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/MorgadoIdentity.html
which relates to Fibonacci numbers. Don't know if or how it helps but it's another possibility.

Just a random thought --
If the writing in the guestbook at Hilbert's is Jon's, he mentions that everything about his stay is noted in his journal -- that leaves two options -- either we haven't found a hidden clue in what he has already written, or there is another password to the cache, maybe unlocking the entries for the month of November.

Morgado Hey, leave the Morgados out of this! It is my family name, hehe... uncommon here in Brasil (although you can google for Camila Morgado, an actress here), I suppose itīs a bit more popular in Portugal. It means "first born". Alternatively, here in Brasil itīs a slang for "lazy". I fit both categories.
But, I really donīt hear Jon saying it. If thatīs what heīs saying, he will first have to go through a spelling course before doing any further research on the "more-they-do" or whatever is that he is looking for.

it would be nice, but no. you give them the film and they develop the pictures. then they give you the developed pictures and thats it. no way to get pictures by giving a number.

Maybe we should "LEARN DOS"
or maybe Jon is "ALSO NERD" "AND LOSER"
It could be the "SOLAR END"
Perhaps this is where "ORAL ENDS"
We could be searching for the "RED SALON" or "LORD SEAN"
Other possibillities:
OLD SNARE, OLD EARNS, SAND ROLE, LAND EROS, RON DALES
But I also admit that I have no Clue what to do with these Anagrams.
Chears, Slowzone

Guess what i've come up with while searching for Anagrams using only the words that are combined with the +.....
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I used all letters from the combinations "Mom+Dad","Arsenal+Summer","Mor+Veg" in an Anagram generator and got the following scary message:
ANAGRAM SOLVED ME MOMS MURDER
Off course many other combinations are possible but this gave me the creeps.
Am I getting paranoid here?

The words are "Paper Manufactured Kodak". Mentioned before indeed and probably not usefull, just an ordinairy back of a picture.
there are definitely other words!
if you look closely right under 'CHOPPER', it looks like
"TH..
MA.."
something about the man in black??
any photoshop expert could try and make that any clearer? or actually it could a flash expert we need here.
i'll try and see what i can do by myself, but generally me and photoshop dont' get on too well.

that is way cool!
could be something, but which anagram??????
program not up? (we still didnt find the use of that one, the word gun is inside, but not coherent to the other letters)
are there more anagrams?
guess we need a list of all anagrams

hi Grutte Pyr
re the Program not up anagram..... I had mused earlier on in game that answer might be Portman Group as Interbrew (who make Stella) are a member of that group... but apart from that link I don't think the answer Portman Group (if that indeed is the answer) has any other relevance than drawing attention to Stella ... there may be another answer though - we shouldn't get complacent because someone seems to have found an answer, when all it really does is throw people off track...

Actually, the full text that is printed on this type of photopaper is something like:
This High Quality Photo Paper was/is Manufactured by Kodak
And since it is printed over multiple lines, it would read:
This High Quality Photo Paper is
Manufactured by Kodak
What they did was scan the back side of a photo developed on kodak paper,
And photoshop the Telephone number and handwriting on top of it.
I work on a laptop and when I flip my screen to a horizontal position I can clearly see the JPEG artifacts that occur when merging 2 layers of imaging.
This results in the fact that only
Th...
Man...
is readable....
So I advise you to let this go and concentrate on the Handwriting part...
(No offence ment )
