 		UPDATE: I got a UV light. I tried it on all sides of all items in the envelope, as well as the envelope itself, with no results.

If anyone is wondering how hot I got the paper, I used my electric iron, turned up to its highest setting, directly applied to the paper for ten seconds. Then fifteen. Then twenty. The paper is now a faintly toasty tan, no letters to show for it. Just some darker brown specks, as seen here:

There was also a question about size measurements.

The blank memo page is 2 7/8" x 4 1/8"

(Blank page held to light prior to iron torture: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4GyAbLbbXA)

The word-puzzle-code page is 6 1/2" x 3 1/4"

Tried iodine, still no dice.

So this is from Here:

http://manybooks.net/titles/shelleypetext03shlyc10.html

Of the third class of Shelley's writings--those which were first published after his death--sufficient facsimiles have been published to prove that Trelawny's graphic description of the chaotic state of most of them was really in no respect exaggerated...The difficulty is much augmented by the fact that these pieces are rarely consecutive, but literally disiecti membra poetae, scattered through various notebooks in a way to require piecing together as well as deciphering. The editors of the Posthumous Poems, moreover, though diligent according to their light, were neither endowed with remarkable acumen nor possessed of the wide knowledge requisite for the full intelligence of so erudite a poet as Shelley, hence the perpetration of numerous mistakes. Some few of the manuscripts, indeed, such as those of "The Witch of Atlas", "Julian and Maddalo", and the "Lines at Naples", were beautifully written out for the press in Shelley's best hand, but their very value and beauty necessitated the ordeal of transc

To those poor souls who dwell in being a knight

Some recognition from your king perhaps?

I'm a knight, can't say I've been a big help so far not sure recognition is required. That being said it always nice to hear from one's King that would probably be key maybe Wink

EDIT: Twonk I am, didn't spot the attachment, will post further once I've read it.

Okay the attachment is a docx file called: Knightsholdthekey see below:

EDIT2: They look like coordinates being that most are three sets of numbers. Oh I wonder, would you perhaps read it Knight fashion...

EDIT3: Do you think perhaps it lines up with the 8x8 grid:

 		Those look like the numbers of diagrams in books. Like diagram 6.10.4 sort of thing.. that's a wild guess though. Also I'm kind of half available at random times and half not, mostly. My schedule is everywhere, but dammit I'm going to try to be of help!

 		Experience Key
I'm one of the knights on the Experience side, and received a Facebook message from Pietro.

Subject: key to experience

The message read:
Quote:
If you find Emma, don't ask her anything. She knows nothing. Just the route she takes... Well....
Enjoy.

There was a Word document attached. Here's a link:
http://www.spontaneouspop.com/projects/pietro/experience_key.docx

And Here's a JPEG for reference:



You can't make it out in the JPEG, but under the asterisk in the center there is tiny text that reads "v=AILvOTwhsC4"

I'm not sure how to go about decoding it, but wanted to get it out here for all you brilliant people.

 		Sorry for the delay, guys, but here's my part of the puzzle. It's been an awfully busy week.




Can you make anything of that for the knight puzzle?

 		Regarding the "hints" from Pietro with respect to AI, Turing test and Bots and due to the "Asking Emma" reference, I guess this might be the site we are looking for:
http://www.mentorpl.org/catbot.html

But what should we ask? Something regarding a route?

Nevermind. We already have another Emma with a route (see post above)

 		you are little behind, solved your Big red square last night. Check out PR's facebook messages.

Your King should know the answer by now.

Now I've got to work out our Innocence password, see attached image. Although I have an idea regarding it but I haven't got the time right now.
