I'MMM LAATTEEEEEEE. HEHHEEHHEE.

For what it's worth, I also received that same email. I can't believe I totally forgot about this starting in 2010. Now I gotta sift through 30 pages of stuff. @_@ IT'S GONNA BE A LONG NIGHT.

P.S. Mentions of Houston and Bakersfield? I feel like someone's stalking me. >O

That's definitely a room key envelope, the kind that hotel's give you when you check in.

The room number is 1413, there's no closing line.

Wait....we're gonna have a drop THIS early in the game?

Who said it's going to be a drop?

[jessie1326]

Maybe the cell phone + room key in the last pic ( where did that come from? ) is a hint -- a 10 digit hotel phone number + a four digit room number/extension would be 14 digits?

ETA: My email to iris just bounced, too.

ETA2: Oh, I see the pic now.

What do you mean with "ask Iris in code-speak whether she's looking for integers or strings" ? Since she's only after numbers/digits, there's no difference that I can see? The length was determined to be 14 characters, I reckon.

The "Flash movie" is what is used for playing the background music for the website. The picture has already been commented.

If you have anything you want me to email her with, that I can comprehend, I'll be glad to

Sorry, haha I wasn't really sure how to put that. What I meant was that obviously we are supposed to supply Iris with 14 numbers. She seemed to hint before that the number of possible answers was 14!, which suggests that each entry needs to be unique. There are not 14 unique integers with only one digit, which means that each element must contain more than a single digit. But, if each element is meant to hold only a single digit, then they can't all be unique, and the number of possible responses is not 14!, but 10^14, as has been stated previously. This suggests that either Iris made a mistake or we interpreted something incorrectly.

I guess what I'm wanting to ask Iris is if she's looking for a single digit in each element, or possibly several. I was originally assuming that each element would be a single digit, but now I'm not so sure.

As for the source, yeah, you're right about the music. My computer's muted, so I completely forgot about the music being played, haha I meant that the picture was labeled "Shanna." I guess I was the slow one who didn't pick up that that was her until I saw the name, haha sorry!

My gut feeling says its not that complicated, we "just" need some number we saw somewhere already ... Sadly Iris accept any queries anymore, at least yesterday, so I'll try another one like

Authorization query = code contains date true/false

or something like that ...

EDIT: Still no response, just autobounce, grrr

Something in the source code which I believe is new: "MSHTML 6.00.6000.16945" name=GENERATOR"

It's certainly not hard to die from the flu (which is all H1N1 is) if not properly treated, or if sick from something else, or if very old or very young. It would be extremely unusual for an otherwise-healthy teenager to die from it while receiving treatment. As for the several years ago thing, I guess it hinges on semantics, but its generally accepted that H1N1 broke onto the scene early 2009. So this is either a mistake, an exaggeration, or some sort of time-related oddity (which there seems to be plenty of to go around). Or it could just be that he meant "the flu in general".
