So perhaps you begin to remember? I always liked the follaro, personally.

It shouldn't take a member of MENSA to solve my little letter cube. I have you twice the hints that they would.


Now we have a find the solution, absolutly!
This is the Mensa site (i hope): http://www.mensa.org

And what is that solution? What? Or am I confused?

 		letter cube
It isn't the poxy mensa site (unless I've missed it and now look real stupid).

Maybe we're being told to solve the puzzle (the gif with all the letters plus greek in it) as a 'letter cube'.
Hadn't seen these before but I think you fill in blanks (alpha, mu, omega ?) by following the patterns of differences between other letters in the puzzle.
The only example I found after a quick stab on google was a 3*3 grid with one missing character, ours (if it is a letter cube) is much bigger, and simple differences don't seem to have a pattern that jumps out.

I believe a "follaro" is an old Italian coin. Maybe this is a reference to the tetradrachm clue earlier?

Just my two cents, or two drachms, or two follaros, or whatever.

This is definitely in reference to the Tetradrachms! After I cracked Ewan's new password, I sent a reply from his account to mu_nin's INRI msg (which held the hidden "Tetradrachms" clue). I just put "Tetradrachms" in the body of the msg. Previously someone else sent a different answer, and it seemed to me that mu_nin was expecting an answer of some sort. So I tried the clue itself. This latest e-mail is in direct reply to mine.

Still have no idea what the coin references might mean.

This is a page with a list of ancient coins.
Tetradrachms (Silver coin, Hellenic) and Follaro (Bronze coin, Italian) are in the list.

Bronze, Silver... We have to find a gold coin?
