bah you got it first, I was going to try a number of possible words that work with ? ? alive


ah well...

for those of you asking, I'm usually the one keeping up the fireflies page... I was unfortunately kept in a very important meeting and had to catch up... I've logged all the info so far, and I'll post it in a second, with the fireflies wiki page to follow...

only a few more clues left.

funnily enough, this meeting was indirectly due to the lack of work I've been doing over the past couple of weeks... *cough* stupid ILB

SOLVED PUZZLES

1. DARWIN PUZZLE

Dear Charles,

Concerning your manuscript,
we are having some difficulty
with your quaint notion of tiny
adhesive notes. Without an un-
forseen degree of improvement,
they will remain far more
irritating than useful. The
editor begs you to simply
rewrite the pages at issue using
full sheets. This will ensure the
best possible outcome for the
upcoming print of you brilliant
opus.

In the meanwhile, I am returning
to you these notes, which have
become detached from the
manuscript pages. Our clerks
have remained unable, or in
some cases, unwilling, to
discern obfuscated or corrupted
phrases and to reconstruct their
chronology. If you would be so
kind...
