 		Redwulf beat me to it.

The clue I have no idea about. Using the link Booba posted earlier.. I'm not seeing a line 185 in act 5 scene 1. So... no idea there. Wondering if the clue isn't another anagram.

Edit: Woot!

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Another anagram. "The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark"
Working on the solve now.

Hamlet Act 5 Scene 1 Line 185 is...Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio: a fellow of
186 infinite jest, of most excellent fancy: he hath borne me
187 on his back a thousand times; and now, how abhorred
188 in my imagination it is! my gorge rises at it. Here hung
189 those lips that I have kissed I know not how oft. Where
190 be your gibes now? your gambols? your songs? your
191 flashes of merriment, that were wont to set the table on
192 a roar? Not one now, to mock your own grinning? quite
193 chop-fallen? Now get you to my lady's chamber, and tell
194 her, let her paint an inch thick, to this favour she must come;
195 make her laugh at that. Prithee, Horatio, tell me one thing.


What that could be a reference to her finding, I have no idea. But... maybe she's just supposed to get to that book?

 		New blog post from R.Z. I think we may have a riddle from there by tomorrow.

There's a new post on Grace's blog as well.

And can anyone tell me how the guy who posted on Jester's blog get the answer he got? I still haven't been able to decode it.

My guess is some sort of Caesar Shift other than ROT13. All I can tell is that based on the number of letters and the answer it was "one plus one equals . . .?"

No problem. I've been pretty busy in RL, but I'm hoping to have time for this since I enjoyed the first go around. We'll see...

Now that I look at it again that encryption was incredibly easy. I don't know why I was having a problem solving it. lol. And I hope you manage to have some time for this one. Smile


Edit: New riddle up on the orderly's site.

 		Below is simply the orderly R.Z. riddle's decryption....not the riddle's answer 'tho of course I've got a lil guess atm.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It's a Vigenere cipher with the key Smile "MrBun". It reads: There's a plate with 8 cupcakes on it. Eight people grab one cupcake each. There is still one cupcake on the plate. How is this possible?

 		Lady gave Grace another clue.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The book she's looking for is Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace. Perhaps if they had said line 186 instead of 185 that would have been easier to figure out. lol. But they never make it easy.


I let her know.

Inside the "Infinite Jest" Lady wrote:
...Round the floor your trotters shake. Isn't it the truth I told ya? Lots of fun...


That's the chorus from the Irish ballad Finnegans Wake. Guess the classic book by James Joyce with that title is next on Grace's reading list. Seems Lady is also saying that the next PW is "Duck Soup" which I only know as a wacky Marx Brothers comedy. If y'all wish plse mention this to Grace b/c I'm leaving for the airport.
