I see the Fortean Times is back.

Real twisted chain of thought follows:

The Times is made from wood (pulp)
Lead article is Moon landing (or not Moon landing)
Adjacent dvd is "Moon"
Plot of the movie is mining lunar Helium-3
Helium-3 could be an alternate energy source, if there were enough of it.
Helium-3 sells for 4 billion dollars a ton.
The "sleeping giant" is a vast supply of He3 under the mountain, welling up into the old lead mines through a crack (gateway) from near the Earth's mantle (Tartarus), located by our Maad phyicist, and of which I get a 10% cut for keeping the whole thing quiet.

Or it's just an old magazine.

U made me Laughing Booba & He3 is Cool (U deserve 20%) so I took another look & Bob has a newer upload, "ThecRainbow-9.7z".

And Wallace in an email wrote:
Anything on Boudicca Blurbs and Arthur Unexplained? Looked like there was a forum for Boudicca Blurbs but wouldn't you know I got an urgent call from Louise saying her car is bust and can I pick her up and I now I can't find the forum again
or maybe the connection is playing up. I do hate computers, nothing any ever works the same way twice.

They came in number three,
Wise with time and age,
Answer to Boudicca's grief.

Hammer, Anvil and Fork,
Strike thee three times,
Vanquish thy enemies complete.

Boudicca sent a worthy three,
To the last mountain west,
Wake the giant they did.

Six thousand men all told,
Nine was there number,
Lost they became, Boudicca's wrath complete


It's GJJ (LOO)
I don't know what to say...

Yikes! What will you tell Wallace when U mail him? That "Bodacious" poem info melted my brain as did this email from Lewis:
Lewis Style wrote:
Okay its: Pen y Fan

Not interested in the original wav file just the password to get to it. Do not try my patience, if I can't get the data from you I might be tempted to do something bad...

So, here's the Pen Y Fan Wiki LINK which I've sent to Wallace asking for advice on how to proceed. Just because it took me dufos forevah to glean the final of those four PWs in Bob's upload(Origin coord) doesn't mean Lewis wouldn't be much quicker.

Suss info or not, am remaining diplomatic with Lewis while awaiting Wallace's advice and, of course, any from y'all also. Smile

Hi all. Am I hopping on too late for this one? The Rollright Stones is one of my favourite places, and the leylines, and other bits and bobs has me very interested, but am I wasting my time trying to catch up? Oh for a summary post.

Hi Thunderwolf! Reckon you got here for the most exciting bit. Obviously, I know how good you do working on & how much you like really knotty, crtptic puzzles. All your expertise, in fact, will come in handy (plus we always have fun Cool )

Well, we have 'em, the most recent two on Bob's page at http://www.missingwallace.net/. As the below email elaborates:
Leamas Alter wrote:

subject Riddles

I see Bob has been busy with new puzzles. He doesn't repeat often does he.

Wyth again Wink 8 chars then you think. Think the magazine is a bit obvious though and then putting the Moon vid on top of the pile. Wood for the trees is bang on though.

Naw is 9 in Welsh, surprised he didn't use that for the next one, unless he wanted get over a more subtle concept between letters and... ThecRainbow, Wallace likes to say less haste more speed. Nothing truer said.

There will come a time very soon when a puzzle will be all about misdirection and the answer will be staring you in the face, very important that you get this puzzle. It will make you understand. It hasn't been written yet and it will written by one who has no flare for creating puzzles.

Good luck and remember everything happens in its own time


Thunder, the other ctcs are on the website. You can DM me here or on twitter about anything or just ask on the thread. OK?
Lewis Style is a more apparent villian each day. From past experience I know you can help when he puts on the pressure.

Laughing Both "wyth.7z" (Welsh for 8 ) and "thecRainbow.7z" are the task at hand. Plus researching the phrase, Arthur unexplained

The prize is a green energy source where the PWs have been leading. OT-LOLZ Just got your tweet so that's super for quick replies.

so we have a wav file which sounds like it needs speeding up, and a text file called "fate.txt" which points to a youtube vid of Bear McCreary's amazing arrangement of All Along The Watchtower from season 3 of Battlestar Galactica (Which is some really nice synchronicity, as I've been listening to that all week in the car), with the following code:

ni ehiq nby zonoly cm ni vy nlujjyx vs cn - ZB

Which doesn't appear to rot into anything meaningful.

RE the fate txt.: It's the Herbert Children of Dune quote at ROT6:" to know the future is to be trapped by it - FH". IF you have time to mess with the audio fine, if not someone else will. BYE
