Nice work, Robert. I haven't received any communication from Lucrezia since she asked me to stop writing her. Obviously, i've stopped writing her. Perhaps i'll get an e-mail at some point in the future, but for now i'm finished with that aspect. I'm not good with decoding or anything like that, so i probably won't be much use. But i'll continue to do what little i can. Who knows, maybe i'll suddenly get smart.

Thanks, Cyfre

Hey. The more heads on the puzzle, the faster we figure it out.

Following the spec that 'Ame' was the Japanese word for rain (instead of the French word for friend, it could be a lot of things, really), I've been playing around with the possibility the number strings could represent words in Japanese since the hirigana syllabary has over a hundred syllables when you include the diacritics and vowel combos. No joy so far, though.

FYI, for my purposes I've broken down the strings like this;

08 22 16 27 100 52 and 10 01 16 14 22 10 22

Well, I remembered that the pictures of Chalet's came in a directory called 'nine', so applied mod 9 decryption to the number that we got from the pics...not the most fruitful thing in my opinion, but I'll let you guys decide...

10011614221022 = 1, 1, 7, 5, 13, 1, 13 = aagemam

Then I did the same thing to the barcode number...

0822162710052 = 8, 13, 7, 18, 1, 5, 2 = hmgraeb

Now I put the letters together, alternating the letters each time (first letter from the barcode numbers, second letter from the picture numbers, third letter from the barcode numbers...etc.), and that =

hamaggreameabm

Now I tried rearranging the letters, and I came up with

"A hammer bag game"

Am I stupid or just trying to hard?

P.S. aagemam (from above) can be rearranged to say ame maga which is some sort of Japanese jewelry (necklace charm) made of amethyst. Looks like a drop of water or something.

Mm.. I think the PM are laughing and keeping in character. In one of her last emails to Cyfre Lucrezia said she'd "already booked a flight for the 13th". And we got no new mails from her or Unknown after that date. She's away and I suppose all we have is the number riddle, at least until she returns (if she ever returns.)

forgive me if this has been covered - but has anyone figured what the cubes referance (in one of the emails) is about?
i did try and read all the posts here.

14 + 13 (digits) is 27 digits --- this is a cube 3 by 3 by 3

probably rubbish and no doubt it was solved weeks ago --- if so ill hide myself and just lurk Smile

err - thinkin about it it is probly a good idea to disregard that Embarassed

however i still think cubes must refer to something

Cubes ! You may have just given us a new lead ! What it means, I have no idea.. but we havn't looked at this idea yet. I'll see if I can come up with anything.

Wild Speculation...

This probably is not helpful at all, but the spiders under the skin sensation is often described by patients on certain drugs used to treat extreme personality disorders, including multiple personalities.

Oh and the missing finger combined with the japanese nationality has a cultural significance. These days only practiced by the yakuza, there is ritual of atonement which involves sacrificing part of yourself and offering it to a superior, it is usualy a finger that is sacrificed.

Neither of those comments will probably help at all though, and I am probably just rambling....

I've read that about the Yakuza. Don't they lose a finger for each failure also ? I would imagine that intense trauma (if it were constant enough) like getting ones fingers removed may be enough to trigger multiple personality disorders. Usually though, the disorder grows over time and there is always some kind of intense or repetative trauma associated with it. It's an idea to look at.. for now.. I'm going to give those numbers another look.

A Hammer Bag Game?

Maybe the PM's are trying to tell us we're as dumb as a bag of hammers.

I think we need to get someone who Lucrezia trusts to start sending her emails again. We simply need more information to break these numbers.

We have to figure out a way to get her talking to us again without scaring her off.
