Yes, Nighthawk, you've already noted you don't like the resume.

Any thoughts on what we're missing?

*NOTE* I don't have the time to play much. Consider me the "Peanut Gallery". Wink

Well has anyone attempted to reply at all? I mean, in a serious fashion?

I've tried both telephone and email, with no response -- that leads me to believe that there's something we're missing, most likely having to do with the 39.XX numbers and/or the paw prints.

Doesn't seem to be much to go on with the dragonfly icon, and although the resume is saved as a jpeg, there doesn't seem to be enough information to warrant a stegged image.

I agree with gordian, those 39.# numbers must have SOME significance...Otherwise why put them there? and they're the only thing we can't ID in any way.

I'm sure some of you guys have noticed this, but Ernest Adams is also the name of the co-founder of IGDA (the International Game Developers Association). I don't think this is really useful for moving forward, but it is a fun side-note. Smile

Got a reply -- sender was, as Rekidk noted, "Ernest Adams."

Not only do we have the pawprints on his resume, he talks about the stuffed animal heads in the building and the interviewer with "grasping claws."

I emailed him to try to get the name of the company where he interviewed.

I miss a really good ARG! I used the brilliant disguise of myself- (journalist, me) to e-mail Ernest. I gave him an invite to a real upcoming college night for journalism students in my area as well as a chance to Skype. Also tried to see if perhaps Ernest was burned as spies are? We'll see if anything from that comes out.

While I was working on the puzzles, I had these thoughts:

- As longitude and latitude points 39.1, 39.12 is a place in Turkey, but doesn't fit with 39.22?
- I've wikipedia-ed dragonflies, and found some interesting info.
o European countries view dragonflies as sinister
o The Norweign name for dragonflies translates to Eye Poker, and in Portugal they're called Eye Snatcher.
o In Texas it's a common hobby to catch them like butterfly collecting. This is called Oding with people who do it called Oders.

Take Care,
Kendra
