this puzzle makes my ears bleed.....
I like puzzles but I am just no good at them....
Well.... The past puzzles have been in Atbash and that type of periodic table substitution. I think that is where to start but that is not much of a starting point.
-this puzzle makes my brain hurt
EDIT:
I am not complaining I like the challenge. I like being stumped. When we find the solution we will all be like..."I don't understand why I didn't think of that in the first place"
This is fun stuff.

Agreed, I said the same thing in an OOG conversation I had with someone about this. I just know the solution will come to us and it will be a complete head hit desk moment.

I've been watching Justice Forsaken for a week now, and I must say, well written, and looks like fun! I'm just not convinced that Travis is the one we should help. I know the main ARG guy is the good guy, but why should I help someone who can't even get their kid when their wife was a stripper and a drunk. something fishy....

and as far as the code goes, i think we are trying TOO hard...lol!

if "she failed me in biology" was a hint towards the elemental table, then "she failed me in geometry" should be a hint towards the #'s right (i still don't see the chimp.)

I'll take the picture and try and highlight the mentioned coordinates. Once I do, I'll edit it into this message for ease of reference.

EDIT: No, the picture isn't finished yet, lol. However, it's quite likely that we're at least on the right track, and I admit, I can see the luggage case so I'm guessing the image is there. What could that mean, though? Synthesis giving us a picture of a chimp with a luggage case and a hat? Could it be a Curious George reference? Or could it be a way of Synthesis saying, "We know Travis is going into hiding." Which he is, but you guys didn't hear that from me. Seriously, he asked me to not mention that to anyone, including "my people" so...yeah. It would make sense, given that Synthesis, in all likelihood, considers Travis to be something of a primitive when it comes to "understanding". So the chimp could mean Travis, and the hat and luggage case seem to be a pretty obvious metaphor for traveling, so...

is that the reason I cant get ahold of either Travis or Syn. on IM or Yahoo?

Honestly, I have no idea why Synthesis only seems to respond to certain individuals. Travis hasn't been on AIM at all since his last contact with me, so I don't know what to say there, either.

So she failed me in geometry is not so much about geometry as it is math.

Yeah, math not being my strong suit (2+2=5, right?) I'll leave this one up to the "smart 'uns"...

Esteed, you are very correct in your mention that Synthesis is very picky when it comes to who they will repsond too. I saw them the last time I was online, and they refused to acknowledge me. I'm just waiting for our mystery person to show up.
