It's all good. Now we hope Max can get us that card and bring it home.

BTW, how was that pizza, amandel?

That pizza was prolly the best I ever ate or maybe I just had a VERY empty stomach. THX for asking,phenexfirf.

Last time I checked Stone Henge isn't a city, so it will only be a clue to where the card is.

So much for cities, even by a considerable stretch of the imagination would I never define Stonehenge as a city especially having lived in one of the smallest cities of the world (Rochester, Kent, UK - well technically it lost its city status in 2006 I think when it forgot to reapply)

ETA: I did get a email from Winter when I asked the question about cities:

Great job, amandel. I have emailed Winter the info. In addition, there is a new footer on the G.A.T.E. page (you think the G.A.T.E. folks might start getting suspicious at some point?)

It seems, Seadevil4, that you were correct in questioning Stonehenge. Here is Winter's response:

What a pickle! Laughing

Inspected the element ID of that jumble. It's "affine" which may have less to do with an affine cipher & more with the french word "affin�" (refined).

Since we're off to the Eiffel Tower affin� is from the verb affiner meaning to polish, reduce in thickness, rid of impurities. Yup, I <3 my french cookbooks & reckon that's what we're somehow meant to do with the new G.A.T.E. letter string. And Yikes that there are 4 zzzz's in it.

Interesting and really cool, amandel. I was messing around with the letters (while trying to get "real" work done) and I removed the repeated letters to bring it down to "aolcofolmoptromlayozlo". I then removed any extra occurrence of every letter to get "aolcfmptryz". It doesn't seem like much, but it kind of looks like "alcatraz".

Of course that's sort of a stretch...
