Hmmm... another 'ST'.

That's three already.

I think the message may be repeated. That way we'd be able to solve it even if we don't get all the letters in.

Makes sense, and means we might be able to solve it already.

If the message is repeated in exactly the same way (i.e. number of characters), there are very few things it could be. With a message length of 333, that factors down to 3*3*37. That means we have a bunch of messages (9) that are 37 characters long, 37 messages of 9 letters, or 3 messages that are 111 characters long (or if we wanted to get really wacky, 111 messages that are 3 characters long). There is no other way to really split it without dropping a letter or two, adding a letter or two, or having the repeated messages be differing lengths (which is possible, but I would guess unlikely.)

 		Parcel Spec - Like many, I have my own spreadsheet with all the letters from the parcels. It seems strange that we have very few consecutive letters. I think that MC may have deliberately staggered the posting of the parcels so that it would take us a few days to collate all the codes. This could be done quite easily, especially with posting parcels internationally. I'm hoping that by Tuesday or Wednesday night we will have almost all the code and it will actually say something we can make out with missing letters.

My main fear is that if the letters make up some kind of ROT or vigenere cipher, we will need to track down all the letters in order to crack the code!
