 		 Dishonor
iPad question
First of all, wow congrats on making so much headway!

So, I've been trying to solve this thing using internet searches of the articles from the Feb issue, but I am coming to the conclusion I may not be able to do it that way.

(Yes, I know Wired said that it wouldn't be possible that way, but you never know... they may have been misleading on purpose. I mean, if it's an underground issue, why not get the answers in an underground way?)

If anyone wants to help me out and throw a detailed bone in my direction, I may just be able to help construct the entire skeleton given that I am generally adept at this sort of decoding.

Let me know and I'll get working straightaway. (and for those that may assume I'm just trying to freeload: well, partially yes. What is the point of figuring this all out if you have already made headway? I'd much rather contribute something significant from this point onwards rather than play catch-up the whole way...)

Sorry for the long post - I'm out.

Silent Rogue

Sure. Here's what I meant above. This was the first puzzle I solved.

From that we can match up the new puzzle with the Chinese characters to get this: (spoilers I guess)

From there we...uh...we, uh... yeah I can't figure out what to do next. I looked for those images in the magazine, but haven't found any leads yet.

 		come on guys. this only took me 2 days, and i was sick one day. Twisted Evil

So, yeah, I've gotten my email about where / when this is. STILL one more step! SUPER SPOILER BELOW!!!
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
so yeah, if you don't live in the San Fran area..... you might as well give up playing, lol.


HOW to solve puzzle:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
solve previous puzzle that gives you 8 language names.
solve all 8 daily puzzles.
find all 8 puzzles in the mag.


I still only found 6 hidden messages, lol
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
1-pg 24
2-pg 26
3-pg 28
4 pg 58
5 pg 66
6 pg 134

each one gives you an anagram word. solve for giant collage.

figured out the last 2 without the puzzles-
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
some letters in words like U in GUN, daily puzzles didn't have 21 things to solve.
& letters didn't repeat. i.e. CAMERA is out.

still if you can tell me the 2ND EMAIL i'm all ears, lol.

 		Has anyone been able to locate where the Polari and Rouge Lexicon are hidden in the magazine. I have looked at all the photos and haven gotten no where.

 		Thanks for the direction there but as anyone had any luck or at least a good starting point for the 2nd email address? I got the first one two days ago.

 		Staring at page 26
Does it matter if I have the print version vs. the iPad version? I am staring at one of the pages (26) and not seeing anything resembling a code. Yes, I admit it: I am new to this and I am not afraid to ask for the obvious.

 		Thank you!
It just proves to me that I'm in need of better glasses! I was scrutinizing the pictures and the brickwork . . . everything else I was able to figure out on my own. Thank you!

 		So, being a crazy nut, I compiled a spreadsheet for the first step, minus the one letter that I never got guessed at.

There be SPOILERS in here...

 		Just Some Coincidences?
A: In the words of Lewis Carrol, "How is a raven like a writing desk?"... Notice how similar those two characters are?

B: The letters we currently have from diszaster (TIMSHOP), when rearranged make moshpit

 		see my above post and you will get your last letter. That being said, has anyone made any headway with getting the 2nd email address? I have tried +1 -1 and have gotten no where.
