Hey guys. Also looked at the puzzles just now two things possibly of note.

1 - If you take the puzzles unsolved and look at them, the shape the numbers make in the grid looks almost rotationally symmetrical in both grids (i say almost cause there is always one cell in the grid which breaks the symmetry.) Coincidence?

2 - Looking at the edges of the grids you can see that some grid lines carry on slightly past the edge of the box, as if they were cut out of a larger grid (specifically the second grid looks like it could be the top right corner of a larger grid, and the first grid looks like it was cut of the right side of another). This could just be an accidental cut job from paint-editing, or might relate to a later puzzle.

Both could be insignificant, but always worth mentioning.

funny you should mention symmetry...
I just noticed that the solved numbers, when arranged in by the blocks in which they appear are:

I think 2wicked is right...the number 5 can be replaced for the 6 in the top right box and the thing still works. that would make 2 palindromes then, or mirror images:

Hello,

Has anyone had any luck with a possible password?

I've also been working on trying to take apart the art piece graphic on the newletter. The reason I think it might have some relevance is someone mentioned the lost charm from the bracelet was in both newletters and the art peice could be the grass with the bench .

I'm still really new to this and havn't gotten very far and with the grpahic coming from .pdf I don't even know if I'm getting a real version of the .jpg. Copying it to the clipboard first has me a little worried. When using adobe reader I can't seem to do anything else.

Currently I'm sitting on two theories.

1 - The solution to the suduko relates to the wordsearch somehow to provide a clue.

2 - We are missing a further piece of the puzzle that is to come in a later newsletter.

Perhaps quite obvious to say, but sometimes it helps.
Do we think that the fact the number solutions are palindromes has any significance? If so any ideas?

I'm not sure about stenography or crypto in pdf's happens much but at this point maybe everything is worth trying, or perhaps they are waiting until we have begun proper to give the final solution to the puzzle. If anyone has heard of tools for extracting hidden information from pdf's then please let us know, it could be useful.
