Has Jupiter ever been mentioned in the game before? I wonder if we can find Jupiter or any information on any of it's moons anywhere else in the game?

New post at AlfredAlan.com. New cipher in the source as well. Easy to crack, same keywork (Marduk):

I don't know if this helps, but I looked for Ovaltine on Wikipedia, and the article says that " Vital One" is an anagram of Ovaltine. I do not know if this helps at all, but you never know. And for those who are thinking I have just lost my mind, read the spoilered comments from Argodaemon's post.

I read my post and I still think you are crazy.

No, it is good to keep anything and everything in mind. You never know... Good find.

I am currently trying to work out the other new cipher but I wanted to point out that ovaltine reference is also from the movie "A Christmas Story"... I wonder if that means anything.

I had that thought yesterday, with the Ovaltine Decoder thing, and did a lot of research. It was started back in 1935 and, over the radio, they would give a code like (B-12). You would line the two pieces of the ring to that code and then each number in the cipher coincided with the letter across from it. Because the new Alfred cipher has numbers going from 1-26 in the beginning, that could stand for the first letter, and then the number it corresponds to. This may just be a key to something we get later.

There are a few sites out there that have pictures of the original rings, if we need them.

[blackhawk127]

you might have something there heres a site from a previous game with a printable version of the ring http://www.radioarchives.org/annie/downloads.html
my guess is to use the original old number cipher and the ring somehow
the annie ring however only goes up to 26

I swear I checked this, but oh well. On the error page of the Alfred site (shown as robots.txt on the Lisak Site) there was a message in the source:

i coulda sworn i did to, he only changed it recently i guess were moving to slow =P

Ok, so I found this 4-square cryptogram thing that has a square 2. Here is what it says:

Here are some ideas as to what the constellation thing means:

Only two things can "study" constellations, kind of. People and telescopes. In the science link given on the Feb.21 blog, there was consistent reference to the Spitzer telescope and they also talk of two observations of planets found within certain constellations. Those being Vulpecula and Pegasus. These constellations also border each other.
