i think the value's might have something to do with the letter that you pic from, but some don't work
ie: philo t farnsworth = only 18 chars WITH spaces


I like this idea. Try the sums of the digits in the stamp value, either once or until reduced to a single digit)?

The hitch in all of this is what about middle initials? Is it Philo T. Farnsworth or Philo Farnsworth? (Robert E. Lee is almost always used with the middle initial).

 		I saw a mention of Quinine.... that's an anti-malaria drug. It's also extremely bitter, according to a friend of mine who had to go on a regimen when he visited Korea.

-- Steve's not so good with puzzles, but hopes this will be some help.

 		Idea to uses with the beewithh images and phrases:
I you use quinine as ink under white light it looks like nothing is written but under UV ligh you will see fluorescent blue letters.

 		the fourth plant in beewithh looks like some kind of reed to me.. which would fit with it being used for papyrus, ie 'written on in' egypt.

I can't think of any other feasible answer to the phrase "<plant> is/was written on in <answer>", anyway.
