 		SPEC: Mid-Jersey Mobile Mock Up
When you first load up the page http://www.synthasia.com/mjm.html it reads, "Use the numbers, to navigate through the site" Then it repeats. The text in the various areas of the site has already been found to be a dummy text called Lorem Ipsum. However, injected in this dummy text there seems to be groups of numbers and a few letters which seem very out of place. I haven't tried much yet, and haven't found anything, but considering what it repeats at the beginning, I've tried using some of these numbers, even translating the letters which they are grouped with into numbers, and dialing them into the phone type thing on the right.

I just wanted to see if anyone else thinks I could be on to something?

 		Just another thought, there is a log in page,http://www.synthasia.com/login.html, which may use some of these groups of numbers and letters as passwords? or a password. Something like that...just kind of speculating.

 		Kay, I wrote down all the (what I think are codes) down. Here they are...

3am
2bp1mk
2fv
4cp1ah
3gp2bw
6db
2im1ep
1sm1ag
2imnl
1jp2bf
2gp1iy
1fp1br
3ap1cj
2kc
1wm1un
4ex

As you can see they are mostly 6 letters/numbers in length. Others are 3, and one is only 5. Also P1 is used in the middle of a few of them, and there are some other similarities as well. Not sure what any of it means yet though.

 		found 2 other pages within the About page (Investors and Team)
I also note that 2im1ep should be 2lM1ep, (two ell em one ee pee) due to the fact that lower case I's have a dot.

 		clue? or red herring? you decide.
I took the 21 pieces of code, and sorted them by each column, to see if any patterns appeared. I only found one pattern.
Code:

 1fP1br  3am     6db     1sM1ag  1sM1ag     6db
 1jP2bf  3aP1cj  2kc     4cP1ah  4cP1ah     2kc
 1qM2cs  2bP1mk  3am     1fP1br  1jP2bf  2hP2ed
 1sM1ag  4bP2dt  1sM1ag  3aP1cj  1fP1br  1jP2bf
 1tM1gz  4cP1ah  2lM1ep  2lM1ep  3gP2bw  1sM1ag
 1vM3eq  6db     1tM1gz  1tM1gz  3aP1cj  4cP1ah
 1wM1un  4ex     1wM1un  2gP1iy  1qM2cs  3aP1cj
 2bP1mk  1fP1br  1qM2cs  2bP1mk  4bP2dt  2bP1mk
 2fv     2fv     1vM3eq  1wM1un  2hP2ed  2iM?nl
 2gP1iy  2gP1iy  2iM?nl  1jP2bf  2lM1ep     3am
 2hP2ed  3gP2bw  4cP1ah  3gP2bw  1vM3eq  1wM1un
 2iM?nl  2hP2ed  1fP1br  1qM2cs  1tM1gz  2lM1ep
 2kc     2iM?nl  3aP1cj  4bP2dt  2gP1iy  1vM3eq
 2lM1ep  1jP2bf  2gP1iy  2hP2ed  2bP1mk  1fP1br
 3am     2kc     2bP1mk  1vM3eq  2iM?nl  1qM2cs
 3aP1cj  2lM1ep  1jP2bf  2iM?nl  1wM1un  4bP2dt
 3gP2bw  1qM2cs  3gP2bw                     2fv
 4bP2dt  1sM1ag  4bP2dt                  3gP2bw
 4cP1ah  1tM1gz  2hP2ed                     4ex
 4ex     1vM3eq  2fv                     2gP1iy
 6db     1wM1un  4ex                     1tM1gz

If you sort by the last character, you get each of the 24 consonants.
Part of the solution? or Red Herring?
definitely not coincidence. Shocked

 		A Key?
Ok, let's look at that last column.
If you consider that the P or the M means Plus or Minus, then you basically have an alphabet math problem. Multiply the number by the letter's number equivalent (a=1, b=2, etc), then add or subtract it the next multiplication group accordingly.

Example: 2hP2ed means 2*h plus 2*e is the letter that stands for d, 2*h is 16, 2*e is 10, so d is 26, or z.

Here's the entire key.

b=x
c=v
d=z
f=n
g=r
h=m
j=f
k=q
l= d
m=c
n=b
p=s
q=g
r=h
s=k
t=p
v=l
w=y
x=t
y=w
z=m

This does leave the problem of two m's...and also where do we use this key?

I'll edit this, or someone will follow up on this logic.

 		Grammar
"Kay, I wrote down all the (what I think are codes) down. "???
I wrote down all the down? I wrote down all the codes down? Shouldn't it be "Kay, I wrote down all the (what I think are) codes"? Or "Kay, I wroted all the (what I think are) codes down"?

 		Guess what? The key I posted above is the key that one would use to solve the cryptogram that was used to get the username and password for the synthasia.com login site. Therefore, the entire key is pointless since that puzzle has already been solved.

But now everyone can stop worrying about the numbers on mjm.html. That puzzle has officially been solved.

 		if anyone is a teacher, and needs us to "Show our work"...
this is what I got when I duplicated LordKinbote's efforts.
Code:

Orig.   letter    result
Code       math
   6db   24       24X =b
   2kc   22       22V =c
2hP2ed  16 + 10   26Z =d
1jP2bf  10 + 4    14N =f
1sM1ag  19 - 1    18R =g
4cP1ah  12 + 1    13  =h
3aP1cj  3 + 3      6F =j
2bP1mk  4 + 13    17Q =k
2iM?nl  18 - 14    4D =l
   3am  3          3C =m
1wM1un  23 - 21    2B =n
2lM1ep  24 - 5    19S =p
1vM3eq  22 - 15    7G =q
1fP1br  6  + 2     8H =r
1qM2cs  17 - 6    11K =s
4bP2dt  8  + 8    16P =t
   2fv  12        12L =v
3gP2bw  21 + 4    25Y =w
   4ex  20        20T =x
2gP1iy  14 + 9    23W =y
1tM1gz  20 - 7    13  =z

 		There is also a login at anonymousfame.com, maybe the code could be used again if there is a cryptogram somewhere else for this login?
