Good work, Merago! Sometimes it's hard to let something go. I guess 25 was one of those things. Wink

I've been following and have been able to solve most of the puzzles myself, except the ones with "NORTH-8NORTH-1NORTHWEST...", how do you get the solutions for these?

Wasn't there something in Cryptonomicon by Stephenson with "Novus Ordo Seclorum" ?

Lemme see if I can find it out - I'm thinking it was the name of the software used to encrypt emails in the 'modern time' storyline

I've been reading around, and seems like "novus ordo seclorum" actually translates to "new order of the ages" and is what is written in the great seal of the united states, and in Yale's coat of arms. Here you can read a bit about it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novus_Ordo_Seclorum

umm...I just figured i'd throw a thought out there.

Synonym in the tweet was backwards, and so was the Novus Ordo Seclorum text.

Maybe it means you should do the OPPOSITE of synonym? I tried 36, which is 12*3 but I didn't get anything, but maybe there's something else i'm missing here.
