aha! our missing 5's and 6's. or are they 9's?

Before I did the origami, I would have said 6's, but now I'm wondering if the 1 - 9 could refer to the nine spaces on the origami square...

I tried the text selection trick, which makes me believe that the one in the upper right is a six while the one on the left side is a 9

So, now we have:

Letters on page one: A R R A R H S W M H
Numbers on page one: 1 3 7 8 8

Letters on page two: W E W E S
Numbers on page two: 8 2 4 7 4 8 2 1 3 2 4 5 (6 9)?

All Letters: A A E E R R R H M S S W W W
All numbers: 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 4 4 4 5 (6?) 7 7 8 8 8 8 (9)?

I just got a reply to the original email. I asked the sender where they got the pdf. This was the response

I'm not sure.
I was at my workstation just checking my emails and I must have fallen asleep. I just woke up and now I see that someone has sent a bunch of strange emails on using my account. I'm so confused. It's like "up" and "down" have suddenly switched roles.

How strange...this is what's happened in london operations....tho I know you've all discussed that already and have dismissed these two games as being related. Alls i'm sayin' is that it's odd.

I thought about this, and thought that it may mean that mountain folds in the origami are now valley folds, and vide versa. The resulting piece has the same front, but the back, which was blank on the first piece, is now very different. Check it out in the attatchment.

Code:

|   |   | 1 |
|   | 8 |   |
|   |   |3/7|


The front has a different fold, but, because it reads the same, I'm guessing that it doesn't matter.

I have one as well. Unfortunately I can read it because I don't and can't find a adobe reader that works on this computer yet. But I will attatch the file for you guys until I find one.

So far it appears that we have at least 5 unique PDFs. Wonder how many more are out there?

Edit : Ok, thebruce makes it 6 unique PDFs.

d'oh! I got it too... I saw it, wasn't flagged as spam, looked potentially legit, but at first glance it looked it just outsmarted the filter... retrieved it from the trash, and here's my pdf.

Two thoughts ... the email I got makes "up" and "down" sound like clues. Not sure if it refers to the puzzle or its a reference to Alice in Wonderland (aka "Its a rabbit hole, dummy")

The other is I'm wondering if this puzzle isn't 3 dimensional. Too many of these letters overlap to make any form of sense. The placement of the orange blocks is also a little suspect. Almost like they're shadows of the block on top of them. Perhaps layering the pages in a certain order the observing them on the extruded plane would yield something ... if that makes any sense.

Hmm, we've got some new letters in play now:

CURRENT UPDATED VERSION:

Letters on page one: A R R A R H S W M H I T
Numbers on page one: 1 3 7 8 8 (6)? 2 5

Letters on page two: W E W E S R
Numbers on page two: 8 2 4 7 4 8 2 1 3 2 4 5 (6 9 9)?

All Letters: A A E E I R R R R H M S S T W W W
All numbers: 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 4 4 4 5 (6 6?) 7 7 8 8 8 8 (9 9?)
Diff. Letters: A E I R H M S T W

I tried anagramming the letters we have, and there are way too many possible combos.

My guess would be the up and down DO refer to the origami fold lines. I dunno, the second attempt looked much neater than the first now the2 halves of the 8 match up.

Could perhaps, we have to do this for each separate pdf file? Might make more sense when looked at like that or, like you said, stacked up.
