 		I hit a dead end in the word maze, so good job jelloarm!

I told James that the code is called rot13 and what the translated text said. I got a reply a few hours ago

James wrote:
Thanks eletha
In currently on the road for the next two days so won't be able to check as I didn't bring the item with me. Code solving answer does look good though. How did you work it out so quickly? And what is rot 13? That a computer code thing?
Also, did some basic science at school but who was Edington? That code stuff his??


There's Eddington again. I didn't say anything about him, but James brought it up. Still no idea, what Eddington has to do with any of this Laughing

btw here is password3.

make sure you download it, and rename the extension to .docx.

UF only allows .doc formats, so i had to rename it to be able to upload it here.
password3.doc

Cosmo? As in the mag? had a girlfriend once who read it - seemed full of option quizes - where you ahve toi keep going answeringthrogh the lot until you find out you're a certain type of person - i always ended uip being a 'b' or 'c' and therefore never the ideal man. probably why i'm still single eh?
thanks - will check the password when i get back - should be saturday night.

??????
One thing a .docx does well is word, line, character count. The character count with spaces is 1512. The year 1512 has a weak Copernicus tie-in that fits the general discussion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1512_in_science
Caution: Remember how I mangled L, C, a page or so back Sad

 		Aww, hey guys! Figured I'd jump in while I can - I was one of the players involved in Howard Fair, which was by far one of my favorites!

I'll poke around and see what I can do with the third password. In the meantime, if you guys have any questions about the last game, I can do my best to answer them! Very Happy

 		This could be something or nothing for password three:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
When you look at the document properties the author is strangely listed as: TuxIsDead



I emailed that to James.

Hi warren
Tiux is dead?! No, that's the name of the computer im using. My mate hates Linux which I think is a version of windows? Anyhow there's a penguin which appears and you have to shoot him to open the computer. Hope you're well. Have you hard from Karen or eletha?

 		Stumped stumped stumped... Flipping through the original text on Wikisource, but the only differences I'm seeing between the original is italicization of "geocentric" and "the frame of space and time," which could just as easily be a difference between the original formatting and me opening it on a MacBook. Any other thoughts in anyone else's head?

 		Ok, so I really need to check my email more often Laughing
Poor James needed friends, so I emailed him today and he replied

James wrote:
Hi Eletha - it was an of chance - funnily enough, today has been a whole off day - i'm in bed, having twisted my ankle coming back from the shops last night. it was getting blistery cold and i started to jog back as it started to pur down. went over on the ankle which nrally wouldnt be so abd but when you have to drive on it - luckily have a few days off leave anyhow so using them up to get better. so im home right now.
stil, able to make toast!
as for password 3, what are the letters that are blacked out - it was that one that made me think of the files being like spies - though spies and goverment agencies only use the black ink dont they - redacting i think they call it.
dunno if this helps?
are you able to chat online? or talk perhaps over the phone? I know it seems off but im stuck at home and this usb seems to be looking at me, like hal in that movie.
daisy daisy!
Sorry - the strong pain killer is kicking in - better eat some of that bread!
James


He talks a lot about bread... Now, for the pw 3, I don't see any blacked out letters in the file. I'm confused.

ETA: Okay, now it makes sense. James sent me the file again.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The blacked out letters read "wonder bread is a clue." Yeah, he does talk a lot about bread Laughing


ETA2: Oh and he told me more about the dream

James wrote:
Yes, he discussed with me the fact that my childhod house had a tin in it, an old bicuit tin. it was the type that grandad's keep their bits and bobs in. so i went to the attic in my dream and then woke up. i had the odd feeling of seeing a usb in the tin - this is the tin that my grandad left to me amongst all the other bits from the ouse which was sold in the 80s.
before usbs.
shoved it all in the attic and then forgot about it.
yep. in the tin was a usb stick. it had the files i sent to you - who the man in the suit with the green nail was though - no idea - some sort of good force though as he was calm and warning me of something - though i cant rememebr what though.
any more luck with the passwords?
i'm about to have late lunch, having hobbled to the kitchen - glad i got the bread, despite twisting my ankle for it.
hope you're well - and all your friends. feel free to share these ramblings with them by the way - i just hit reply - unsure how to reply and include everyone, despite making contacts that includee everyone, its getting a bit titring.g
