Children's Cypher Translated

There's a condensed version of everything that's been found on the Bioshock wiki. I'm pretty sure that all of the codes have been translated already, and they should be up there.

The point was that the cipher book kept using the repeated letters in Andrew Ryan, which is clear if you count the occurrence of the letters. This leads us to believe that Lutwidge had contact with Ryan at the time he wrote the book in 1947. We also know that Lutwidge was dealing with Ryan 1946-1952 when Rapture was being built, through Scarlet Sovereign warehouse. It is clear that so far, Lutwidge has been leading (or trying to lead) Mark to make the Ryan->Rapture->Frozen Triangle->Cindy connection.

What is NOT clear is whether or not Lutwidge has another message or subtext for Mark to discover. Consider: Mark still does not know the exact location of Rapture (though he knows roughly where it is) and he still does not know its true nature (underwater city). Mark supposedly also needs a way to GET to Rapture, either via submersible or by boat. Whether Lutwidge will provide that transportation is still up in the air.

This may sound stupid, but when mark is referring to a "KEY" being right under his nose, i think he is referring to his typewriter (21 centruy KEYBOARD) can Java even interface to a keyboard? maybe we need to type some phrase or something.

And does anyone here think i should get a full membership?

I'm almost certain it is a vintage microphone design in the 'redqueen' puzzle box.

That's an image I found of a 1920's mic, the spring mount is what reminded me of the old microphone shock design.

What's weird though is that it seems like the recording is supposed to be coming out of the microphone. I think we might just have a case of poor design. Someone who made this puzzle accidently used a vintage microphone design instead of a speaker design.

Either way, I think the jewelry box is the puzzle that we haven't solved, especially since flash won't recognize any audio we throw at it anyway, right?

[SpartanCavie]

To anyone who's very computer knowledgeable:

If we open the jewelry box in one browser window, and have the mic in another browser window, is there any way for the 'mic' to hear the keys we press? I'm like 99.9% sure it's not possible, but am I wrong?

all this talk of right under his nose, there is one thing we are all ignoring. The map, the original website. I am going to comb through and look for hidden ciphers, notes, something. I have no idea what to look for so if anyone else wants to help...could be paranoia, but that's the kind of thing they might expect us to overlook.
