 		 [Puzzle] [Solved] Cards with Alpha-Numerics
[it was Vigenere ]leads to METACOWTECHS
It's obvious there is going to be a puzzle with the birthday cards so I'm starting this thread to get a head start. So far we have:

/P 1 E 2 B 3 S 4 a 5 r 6 Wb 7 Wak 8

Not sure how the Wak8 fits as it came from the plushie cow and not a card.

Just in case it's gronsfeld again, here is the chart: See solve here.

 		I think the cards are from Pat & Dave as they told us how much they loved us quite often on Sunday & Sylvia's card says 'We love you'

I'm not sure how that helps though

Funny they should come on cow cards because they are all genetic codes for cows

 		Well, the pic at http://www.welovebeef.co.uk/Daisy.html has been updated, and now contains the words "Who am I?" and "a5, r4"

this means we have the following word spelled out:

/PEBSarWbWak

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Using a Vigenere cipher and the keyword "Daisy", I was able to decipher (by hand, no less!) this to /Metacowtech

which led to the page http://www.welovebeef.co.uk/Metacowtech

The fact that the clues came on birthday cards would point toward an 8 digit number to me. Possibly 18022007 for the event or 18021887 for Erwin Schroedinger - or 18021987 for Eva McGill...

NINJA EDIT: Ignore me! Thunderwolf has it.
