 		Hi all, looks like I'm late starting again Wink Got a bit of catch up work to do and don't have much time at the moment (big sort out going on at home), but should be ready to crack some codes soon enough.

 		I don't have the time right now to work at the code, but a quick search shows that the numbers are when Jimmy Hoffa disappeared: 2:45 on July 30, 1975. No luck with the password either.

A pole stands between two men, nearby an eagle sits.

Before I got stumped I was on a World War 2 train of thought where the pole is Poland and the men are the Axis and Allies with the eagle waiting nearby meaning America's late involvement. Even though I couldn't find anything I've still got a good feeling about this being WWII related.

I'll try to figure out the Seven Hunters connection in a few hours.

subject: Lateral Thinking Problem

Wallace has just had a bad day, he went to see Kat's ex-wife. Apparently she talked to him to death, he came back looking haggard said he going to see Bill. Wallace never lets anything get to him, I mean its like water off a duck's back most of the time, he definitely didn't look in a good mood when he left.

How about you, how are you feeling today? Still got a cold, did you try the hot toddy I suggested?

Did you like my little puzzle I was quite proud of it really, didn't want to give too much away that's why I said characters instead of digits. He was a nice old man, although he did have the wandering hands and a terrible bladder problem spent more time out of his seat than in it if you know what I mean. Thank God Wallace doesn't have that problem.

Tell me how you feel.


Not yet A-OK and TY for asking, Louise. Laughing Prolly won't do more today than read Wallace's interesting blog update

 		Ladies and gentlemen, I've done it. Got both of 'em. Well, we were all dancing around the answers so I can't really take credit.

245 Qbd Dfibq 07301975:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

With a key of "Flannan Isles" decodes to, with added notes,

2:45 Red Diner 07,30,1975

This confirms that this about Jimmy Hoffa's disappearance, which was at the Red Fox Diner at that date and time.


C Report's password:
My WWII theory was way off. All credit goes to reesylou.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

It's the date of Apollo 11,

16071969

Maybe you used mm/dd instead of dd/mm. Either way, you got it.


Pretty interesting report. Mentions a new player in this mystery, too.

Well done. I thought I had tried Flannan Isles....hmm odd, but at least it is solved now.

For the report, I had tried lunar landing dates (20 July) rather than launch date.

It gives us a number of possible new players... if you select all on the text, you can actually read everything that has been blocked out, so we have the coronoer, the assistant, the police officer, the photographer - as well as the shooter.

Interesting.

 		Gah! I AM SOOO SLOW on the puzzle aspect of all this. You guys solve them before I even start! ><

Anyway, just envious of your awesome skills. I sent an email to William asking nicely about this Professor Maad fellow. Its all I could think of to do. Anything else that's new other than Wallaces new blog entry?

 		New blog post! The autopsy report was a fake and Louise is angry... might be wise to avoid her for now.

And I got an email from Bill! I will post it up tonight when I have a proper computer!

She asked us in a prior email to "supply last key to continue", so I now have done that, with an apology attached.

At work, so cannot work on the new code right now.
