There is a message, in plain sight. An image manipulation tool will help you see it. Save the image locally so you can play with it.

A "worldly" hint in return would be appreciated... found it but almost clueless otherwise.

I see that it is an "unusual" map projection, but the symbols and their movement have me stumped.

 		Middle Office
Feeling pretty stupid, but The Middle Office has stumped me. I know that
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
there are accounting errors, and I've tallied them up and tried to alphanumerize them in all sorts of ways but keep coming up with gibberish.
What am I missing?

First you need to

move the symbols to the right countries

Then,
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
put the sounds of the symbols in order

This one drove me crazy for a while, but just solved it...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Use the CORRECT totals... always.


Any hints on what the Worldly symbols are?

Yes, they are

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
letters of the alphabet in various languages


I'd sure appreciate some help locating the School of Athens seal and solving the Steganography puzzle.

 		Steganography is the art and science of writing hidden messages in such a way that no one, apart from the sender and intended recipient, suspects the existence of the message, a form of security through obscurity. The word steganography is of Greek origin and means "concealed writing" from the Greek words steganos (στεγανός) meaning "covered or protected", and graphei (γραφή) meaning "writing".

-from the wiki

 		The steganography puzzle will require an image editor.

For 'Worldly', once you get the symbols in order, listen to your intuition. Or just listen.

I've been playing around with the image on various editors for a quite a while. Nothing. Can you give a hint?

 		For stegano, try not to think in black and white terms so much. Instead,
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
think shades of grey.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I can't make any rhyme or reason of how to associate the symbols with the continents. Will they "auto play" when in the correct order? Which continent is "first"? Upper left?

Thanks

Okay, I have the
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
correct totals
but still no idea what to do with them... I've tried
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
turning them into letters every which way I can think of, adding totals of totals...
still nothing.

I have a feeling it's staring me in the face and I'm going to hit myself when I finally get it.

 		New seals
For stegano...
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
You'll need to take the image and do something with it, as hinted in the text.


For athens...
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Go back and pretend you are just starting. If you started with the practice theorems, you started too late.

I'm not sure I understand.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Are you saying the link is in one of the regular, non-practice theorems?
