Precrime by vitruquest

Is anyone else working on the precrime ARG(?) by virtuquest located here ? I've solved the first couple of puzzles which led my to a posting on the AdvancedPhysics.org site.

the posting is as follows

Quote:
Only a Sly Fox could interpret:

We received this communication from the Precogs late last night. It appears more information is coming in about the impending event. We believe the information below deals with the possible suspect or victim. Unfortunately, the three Precogs processed the information differently so we ended up with the sequence below. Please use your abilities to process the the information.

So far I've drawn a blank on a solution Sad . My only observations are
1) the posting was specific to me so the word "Sly Fox" may be necessary to the solve.
2) the word 'the' appears twice in the last sentence. Is this a typo?
3) there are 41 letters in the last line and since 41 is a prime they can't be rearranged into an evenly spaced grid pattern.

Any help welcomed

Similer for me too!

I have been playing and posting info at VARIN.ORG.

I have received several items from "Precrime" as well as a link to a posting such as yours. Interestingly the posting I was suppose to find didn't appear until after I received the email from Precrime? Not sure about that. However it was there this morning.

This is the message appearently just for me?

I wonder if the fact that both messages were posted on Physics websites is significant? Curiously, I have a physics background but I doubt that the people at VQ know that. How about you? BTW I found the original VQ site via your link on Varin.org. Wink Do you think we've the only two people who are following this?
