Hi All,


Think there is a new puzzle at the above location but not got clearance to view it. Hopefully someone else will login and post details of it.

Good find, yep, a new puzzle at medicorp. Looks interesting - 300 credits, by Brackin. Also interesting - the medicorp board is back so we can check out the old comments again. Anyway, info -

Variables

"Following the investigations relating to the alleged "God Killer" deaths, a predictive data relation cross-search was run on the city feeds for anything that might relate to the investigations. These dead-end data trails have consumed the Medicorp CSI teams as well as other valuable district resources, and while 99.9983% of the data has proven unrelated by subsequent data processing of the central computer, every possible avenue must be considered. See if you can make heads or tails of the following Old-world data which was rendered useless when the original data tables associated with it were lost."

Hrm...looks like a historical ID.

For instance:
Booth ran from Ford's Theater and was caught in a Farm?.

Obviously, different letters are probably disambiguations for different people with the same name?

notgordian you're on the right track. My random ideas:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
A - Oswald
B - Booth
X - Kennedy
Y - Lincoln
J - Johnson
F - Ford


But I just tried those, I think that its something along those lines though

Found a website that has a list of these things: (contains spoilers for the puzzle) http://www.kilty.com/l_and_k.htm

STUFF I SAID IN THE ABOVE POST


OOPS... Solved it tho! Switched up X and Y so the answers are confirmed:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
A - Oswald
B - Booth
X - Lincoln
Y - Kennedy
J - Johnson
F - Ford



EDIT: Also I sent this to Kropp to see if I can get some of the rusty gears turning, I might sent a copy to Foo as well (no IG contact yet so I'm not too sure how the cold -call would work)
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

I'm sorry to bother you but I don't know who else to goto with this. I think that the latest "puzzle" given to us should be looked over again, as I was trying to solve the puzzle I noticed the equation X+Y=Z , and I thought that Lincoln was the 16th president and Kennedy was the 35th president,that would mean Z is the 51st President. In this time period we are electing the 44th president to take office in 2009. So that means the 51st president will take office in 2037. This was too much of a similarity for me to keep silent about. This theory could be easily debunked if a president between now and your time has a double term, however I feel it might be a clue into the demented mind of the God Killer if this cannot be debunked.

Sorry for such a long message, but I hope that I am wrong with this hunch. Thank you for your time!


EDIT 2: d'oh forgot this:

That data seems to fit... to bad it does nothing for our investigation overall. Well done.
