Can we reformat the test in the Wiki so it's by the number, then with the list of unallocated letters at the bottom? I think that might be clearer? Like:

1. 88 -
2. 1967 - P. Year of the Summer Of Love
etc.

Good idea? not?

EDIT: or ignore me and just add the unallocated numbers at the bottom...would be a lot easier

I dont think it's going to matter. I think, for example C = 24, then go to chart....across to third (C) column, and down 24, then it equals letter Z
I hope that made sense.

So, for what is solved,

_ _ Z _ V _ _ G N L G E W _ _ M _ _ J V O G _ _ _ A

Dang! Now that this is moving it's going FAST! I hope I'll be able to catch up over the weekend!!

I did receive 2 emails from Chiaro Oscuros:
"You've got to want to succeed" with the LonelyHeart.jpg
and
"Shining Hope" with the 20080606_1322.txt file.

Yes, so it would be clearer if the answers were in the right order on the Wiki! (I'm assuming the answer will be in the numbered order, not by the letters, or an anagram).

edit: Err yes, ignore me again so far I have VMNGBQIVLWQE....

I would just like to say that to get to the chat room without using MIRC or any program,

http://www.chat-solutions.org

It asks you to register a name, then takes you here

http://www.chat-solutions.org/chat

then type /join #bolsid


Too little too late probably, since it has already been solved. But maybe it will be easier for some of us the next time to join in.

The final answer is:

All of it comes out to some Vigenere'd string that decrypts with the key discovery to SEVENTENTIMES25IS. It's 425.

We have everything but D. "N of D in the S of TT" = 1577

So any ideas on D?

Brilliant.
