maybe upper/lower case shows the sie of the letter. Hence, all initial sentence letters are large Xs. the remainder would something like l's (lower case L) t h j k b d i (give or take a few) would all be upper case X's, while a, c, v, e, w, u, g, s, etc would be lower cases.

Other thn that, I have no idea about the significance of letter case. I;m liking # to equal spaces more and more, but (of course) surf has some reasonable ideas. "The king was not a _____" is awfully damned tempting...

And, as petunia said, the past tense makes little sense if that is just a line ot help clarify the code.

you know, you could be on to something there. After all, that is the only comprehensible part of the whole thing.

The ____ was not a ____.

and again, according to the wikipedia

you both have very valid points. I'm going to give it a break and get some rest. If you guys don't have it solved by tomorrow, sometime, I will look at it again. Night all

This might help with that one and with our puzzle. Perhaps the # takes the place of a boldface x.

http://home.comcast.net/~bryant.katherine/Puzzles/it3answer.html <-- solution to that puzzle (i think).

Piechart clue?

very good points.

the paraphrased version by ethan can be found here http://whitechapelfoundation.org/opencases/?page_id=8

why it was removed? I don't know. Also makes one wonder, why the name piechart? And on the new message we have the circle.

in numerical order we have this: O 1, ^ 2, /\ 3

in the order we received them: ^ 2, /\ 3, O 1

I still don't know about commanded vs. was. It's just that by using was instead of commanded then MSG ^ 2 would have the exact same number of letters (23) as MSG /\ 3. But that could be going down the wrong path entirely. I just did't have anything else to go on and couldn't think of anything else to try.

I only see a message from frhogmcr. The other one has a word (name?) under 'trackback', but no message with it.

when you hold your mouse over the RXVJACDM link, it shows:

Where did you see "lzzthmat" ?

o, i see now. when you hold mouse over hlbgvloi

best guess for tavjvjxx by simple cryptogram = wireress
possibly just an advertisement?
