I love the postcard with the two handwritten "hello's" on it

New Amsterdam = New York (1614–1674)

With the "bic pen" code - it seems like we're given the tools to solve a puzzle which we might receive in the future. Perhaps bear it in mind if we receive any number sequences.

There's something weird about the typed writing on that card. With all the elongated spaces and "u"s instead of "o"s and the "k" in uncle. And what's he on about with the uncle thing? But i guess he could just be trying to make it look like a normal postcard.

Still pretty cool.

Has anyone tried putting a UV light over one of these yet?




[edit]
Just noticed the signing of SK at the bottom of the postcard. Salim Khel. If this post card is from between 1614 and 1674 then that's weird.

[peterhelm]

The postcard would be newer than 1674 because the text is in print. Even if the postcard is from 1908 Salem Khel couldn't have written the postcard he was born in '69.

There's quite a few spelling mistakes here, i know that they seem to be some what of a common theme, but i thought i'd list them all anyhow...

Letters missed are on the first line, letters used in place of them on the second;

what knarF posted intrigued me - I thought the spelling mistakes might mean something, too.

I wrote (I like working with a pen and paper) the errors down in one column, and the "actual" spelling in a column next to it.. what I found interesting was the fact the vowels seemed to have a little pattern going.

First off, I wrote them like this (with the incorrect note spelling on the left, and the correct spelling on the right):
e=ie
u=oo
u=a
u=o
a=e

If we make some assumptions and simplify the mistakes down to vowels, it seems to go something like this (again, note usage on the left, correct usage on the right):
a=e
e=i/e
i=[[not used, possibly o?]]
o=[[not used, possibly u?]]
u=a/o/oo

Maybe I'll crazy and reading too much into it, but written like that, it seems the vowels have shifted over by one letter? I don't think it's of any importance when it comes to this note, but maybe it's a clue for use elsewhere?

I-I'll just go away now..

Here are the five images from the new link:











Just looking at them, they look like the routes of the five bus tickets that showed up when we put the code into the R A G N A R O K site.

yeh but the 5 bus tickets all have the same departing and destination details whereas these maps all meet at one point and come from all over the place

All five images plus a map of North Pakistan. Connection is Islamabad?
