We could very well be receiving such a clue on Monday - Lipps Leroux's birthday is listed on Facebook as February 2.

I'm going to spend the weekend staring at this page until my eyes burn - hopefully, maybe, I will come up with something. I dunno.

In any case, I agree with one of the above posters - those are definitely all 2's. No Z's here.

P.S. I disagree with the notion that this is a disappointing or somehow lacking ARG. The slower-than-desired trickle of new info is a little dispiriting, but I think we have to cut these guys some slack. They obviously wanted this to go viral, and the basis of some of the as-yet-unsolved "puzzles" (getting Mars and Lipps a sufficient number of Facebook friends, for example) were predicated on this assumption on the part of the PMs. I also strongly suspect (and I know a lot of people disagree with me on this) that this is just a huge group of friends and creative people in the NYC comedy/improv scene pitching in their talent (and maybe a few dollars) to do this for a lark. If they're just executing this in their spare time, I'm incredibly impressed with both the progress the ARG has made, as well as the quality of the ARG materials currently released (the book, the trailhead video, postcards, etc.)

I think it's 2 letter groups

Just throwing a random thought out there for the yet-to-be-decoded page.

If we assume that each character relates a letter, then I think it's safe to assume that 'F' in the code stands for the letter S. I draw this conclusion based solely on the fact that F's appear in triplicate at one point in the code. Assuming that spaces and punctuation are not represented within the code itself, 'S' should be the only letter that can show up 3 times in a row (a word that ends with a double S and then a word that starts with S), except for the rare exception.

So basically, if we can figure out under what reasoning the character F is the letter S, we can apply that to the rest of the letters in the code.

The underscores, apostrophes, possible fortes, etc etc make it more complicated, but lead me to believe that ASCII value might have something to do with it. Unfortunately, I couldn't come up with anything based on this line of thought, but I thought I'd put it out there and see if it sparks anything.

*EDIT - Now that I think about it, O's can appear in triplicate on more than one occasion as well. Oh well, it's something to think about further.

Yeah, it reminds me of the old security method used for computer games- where you have to enter the Xth word of the Yth paragraph of page Z to start the game.
