I'd imagine its for Postcard 12 because it's the only one with any kind of chess reference.

But, it was a shot in the dark...so I don't really know.

Either way, it's for a poster we've already found.

I mentioned this in the wrong forum (postcard reference)

Postcard #17 reads with grey filters and turned counter-clockwise

DEPCAYH
JACYHASYJC

It would be good if someone with better filters than I (I used sunglasses) and better eyes could take a look at it, because some of the letters are "decayed" enough that I'm not exactly sure what they are.

I've tried ROTting it and some vigenering but come up with nothign so far.

That's a baobab tree in the picture. Baobobs are all over the lower part of Africa. The Baobob tree figured prominently in the story "The Little Prince"

Is a list of all the different federal reserve banks that issue notes in the US... if you take the letter that is on the one dollar bill that represents each bank, you get:

Postcard 24:

It can be solved in the same way as postcard 20, except it's 8-dot braille instead of 6-dot.

It deciphers to "To be on a quest is nothing more or less than to become an asker of..":, which is the beginning of a quote by Sam Keen.

uh.. I was looking at it the other way... upside down from what you've got it looks to me like regular arabic letters stylized

Taking a close look at postcard7.jpg it's clear that there are pop art type images overlayed on the original painting. Messing with some channel levels in photoshop I was able to kind of highlight them.

I have absolutely no idea what it mean. fire, girls, flowers, a dove and a bunny... also a sort of blocky background that came through and doesn't appear relative to the original painting either... could be residual from turning the painting into a 4 color print. not sure.

Lucy, I think you're right, I was trying to look at the letters upside-down with sunglasses, so I wanted someone else with better resources to try it. Now that Kender made a better resolution of it, I'm pretty sure we can crack this.

So... http://www.anothercontestworthentering.com/ball.html

Once again, I kinda stumbled into it.

But I'd imagine it's for http://www.anothercontestworthentering.com/postcard1.jpg. There's a baseball field...and 4 numbers in Base 4...but past that I got no idea how the numbers click.

Anybody else see somethin I'm missing?

EDIT: Ok...here's a reach.

Tallying is sometimes called "Base 1"...so that convention comes in handy here.

1st base - Base 1 - 11 - 1+1 - 2 - B
2nd base - Base 2 - 1 - A
3rd base - Base 3 - 110 = 9+3 = 12 - L
Home plate - Base 4 - 23 = 8+3 = 11 - K

So I got balk. And balk+1=ball......I guess.

I found my poster today in the library. I couldn't get the forums to let me add an attachment so I put the pictures up on my flickr
