Oops, meant new clue when solved may point to proper book. None of Potter's seem to fit, maybe another favorite from here:

Still playing "word search" with the first two blogs...

[thebruce]

heh, just noticed that Virgil is listed as an author on online-literature. The Aeneid is available there in English. #oops

What other authors might be one of Felicity's "faves"?
We've got Virgil and Potter...


it may be that the 26x16 grid points to the book we need to use for the number cipher. (a book with 34+ chapters perhaps?)

This is getting good so I wonder if she'll want a date at the end game lol

[UnifiedField]

This is a long shot but Beatrix Potter did author over 30+ kids books as mentioned on Felicity's blog:

"Along the way I've become a huge fan of the literary works of Beatrix Potter. She authored over thirty childrens books."

Could the numbers = Book . Line . Word ?

Only problem is, Wikipedia is showing that she authored 33, not 34 as the index might suggest. Missing "T" and "20" might have something to do with this?

[BubbleBoy]

I would agree except for a couple of things: She did write a journal, which would make 34. Also, we would need to be able to read of all these books and some of the ones I have searched are not available in their full text online.

As an aside: It's the 110th Anniversary of "Peter Rabbit", and to celebrate there is a new book coming out in 35 days. The new "Peter Rabbit" web-site re-launched this year as well.

[OhWhatProvidence]

I'm only skimming for now, reading in more detail later, but i have the entire Peter Rabbit/World Of Beatrix Potter boxset if that helps anyone.... It's only got like 23 books though, so that leaves another 10 still unaccounted for... -shrugs-

[MrToasty]

Remember that book-line-word would most likely require using the same edition of each book that the cipher author used to encode as lines between different editions aren't guaranteed to be the same.

We're going to kick ourselves when we decode this message, I'm sure...

[BubbleBoy]

Isn't that to the normal reaction to solved puzzles? It is for me anyway.

[TallulahBelle]

Not being a wiz with codes and puzzles, I'll instead add this very, very insignificant piece of info in regards to the character page on the wiki: I think Virgil is Toby the cats new identity.

[thebruce]

Yep, Virgil is the name of the cat (now), according to the blog. If we consider the blog site is entirely covert messaging, then even the name Virgil can be a key to decoding hidden documents/messages, which we've seen to be true (as per requiring Virgil's The Aeneid).

I don't think Toby is the cat's original name though - the reference to Toby was that he's still in Hong Kong with a new identity. It seems to me that Felicity has Virgil with her now.

Man I really hope this puzzle gets solved soon!

The audio transcript for the audio file that was located under the picture that held all of these codes is as follows:

[thebruce]

Actually the picture with that audio hasn't been found to be hiding anything. The files were in the blog post with the Peter Rabbit 'motivational' image =P

There's got to be something in the latest post though (the audio and title screen image), but it's a separate entry than the number cipher discovery
