Not trout, this is new! Good job!

Is this then what we were meant to find with that "Google re-caches" remark? I don't see any obvious msg from Vulcan Vulture. I was looking for something like "Ra's Guidepost Malt Shop", a page that is currently a vanity project, but in Google it's still a Malt Shop. Maybe with a message board that had a message from mu_nin to hugh_inn. I also figured we needed to solve the Alpha/Omega puzzle to get there.

So, the only thing on the page is that picture. Don't know who the guy is. Anyone recognize that weird symbol on his shirt? The name of the JPG is "vw", is that car some sort of Volkswagen? There are also several suspicious looking shapes on the license plate, the windshield of the red car, and on the car in the background. The sort of look like they could be geographical shapes of some sort. The license plate one reminds me of a moose!

This is just SPEC but...

Does anyone thing the emoticons that popup before you get redirected are a clue?

They come in this order:

>:(
>:(
>:(
:~(

Personally, I don't completely understand reesylou's methods when solving the previous emoticon puzzle, but maybe the dots they stood for can be turned into letters.

I don't know.

When I first went back to the site it started to fill up with the sets of dots and fractions! Then after I went to try to view source the smilies started appearing and then it sent me to the front page of the site. Now when I go back I don't see anything.

SPEC: It just occurred to me that the "vw" could have in fact been a hint for the Ewan's new Password puzzle, where VV needed to be changed to a W. We solved that just before this page was found, but at the time it was prepared the password solution was still unknown. I don't know if this alone would justify the existence of this page, probably not.

Solving the dots

Has anyone else gone back to this page who hasn't been since it changed? I tried it from a friend's house and the dots and fractions came back up. When I went to minimize the window so I could start a screen capture program it went all frowny face and then sent me to the front page again, and then the page turned blank like before.

did anyone notice the dots and fractions changed? i printed out the page and used reesylou's method to solve the message:

you crack codes never realizing that the shape of the forest is just as important as the trees not the flags or the monkey granted but the rest you must crack munins coiled message from beginning to end if you have any hope of assisting him

any ideas?

Obviously we have missed more than we realised.

I need more hours in my days... and days in my weeks...etc

"munins coiled message from beginning to end" - sounds to me like a reference to the unsolved "letter cube". And it sounds like the solution is to follow a trail of letters from the Alpha (beginning) to the Omega (end). There are so many ways to go at each, but I'll take another shot at it.

Here is the file I used to crank out the flute notation pages. I did it all in JavaScript, just for kicks.
