 		And I put Herman Hollerith and just about everything else in his "About Me" section through Hidden in Picture with no luck.

**joins in beating the crap out of the card - throws petrol on it and threatens it with a naked flame**

I don't suppose the titles of the pictures have already been exhausted as clues? Sunset, Winter, Stonehenge, abstract and dimension?

EDIT - Have been doing a whole load of research into this Hollerith dude, found this: http://homepages.cwi.nl/~dik/english/codes/80col.html

which shows a couple of tables that look a hell of a lot like the one we had to use for the original facebook code. I can't tell how it's relevant now, since it's making my head hurt to look at all that stuff.

 		Alright so I did a search for 8 by 26 punch cards and came across this.

I hope it's not leading us to a dead end but it's the only 8 by 26 punch card I could find. Maybe this will help somebody with the puzzle because I haven't a clue as to where to go from here.

 		Neflyte is now on the IG forum. Wonder if he's just checking in or if he'll post something of interest.

Edit: Mission Four has arrived! Woot!

 		I don't have photoshop or paintshop here, but this screams overlay to me... try putting the abstract pdf over the top of it, see if it cuts letters off cleanly.

I was frantically refreshing my email. Haven't even got it yet. So the extra layer was part of it, huh? Shocked

Another reference to 1984 by George Orwell? Anyone have a copy of the book?

EDIT: NM http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks01/0100021.txt

EDIT AGAIN: The text in the image 4891.jpg is from chapter four of the book. Not sure of the connection, though.

Huh... I received the email twice. Maybe it was another unintentional leak by the PM's like in Mission 2.

Neflyte said in the briefing message that more instructions would be included in the email. But, yeah, I will post contents of the email here if they are different than yours.
