LAUGHING GAS is Nitrous oxide (N2O), possibly also NO.

NUMBER is abbreviated NO.

Could these go together? Maybe with SOUNDS LIKE to indicate "know?"

Leftbrained noticed that na-cat wasn't the same as last weeks, but it still had different pictures incorporated into the animated gif...so thats is why it didn't look corrupted.

It turns out there are different colored pixels on the butterfly. I made a bmp of the differences - you just have to blow it up to about 800% to see it clearly. In the bmp, the #s are the frame numbers and the all black butterflies are what they were supposed to look like.

Okay, I can't upload bmps, so its now a gif. The color information looks like its still there, but if anyone wants the original file I made, let me know

**Edit: Now that I've had some time, I've created a bigger picture of the butterflies in na-cat and also filtered and flipped the pictures to show the Braille letters.

Sure, I can't solve any puzzles, but trivia? No problem!

This is from the 1976 Mel Brooks movie "Silent Movie," which really is almost entirely silent. When they ask Marcel Marceau to be in their new silent movie, however, he speaks the movie's only out-loud word: "No!"

Quickly followed by, "What did he say?" "I don't know -- I can't speak French."

Just for credit's sake... Here's Xevo's post that gave me the "no" idea.

One more note on the cipher. Working in reverse, M and S (the last two letters in the ECHO code could both go to X with a double rotation.


Interesting idea.

Result: To do that, you'd have to rotate in the opposite direction, and the result is: FVYOJ DBVKP LIMXX. I got my hopes up too.

I GOTTA SOLVE!

Woo I solved one: http://www.ilovebees.com/outbound/tearful_goodbye.wav

Take the figure.jpg text:
ECHO
DMHNJ TTAVI DXGMS

Then, point the A of the code wheel at each letter of Echo in turn, reading off the plaintext one letter at a time. Rinse and repeat to get

TEARF ULGOO DBYEX

I is HAPPY!

- Malrog's first proper solve!

I'm convinced that SOUNDS LIKE and the list of prepositions go together since they both had rows of hyphens above and below them in the image file. So... sounds like 'prepositions'? dunno...

This probably has something to do with CUTEBEE2.gif: ALL CATS LOOK BLACK IN THE DARK, BUT THEY FEEL DIFFERENT.
