[EMAIL/PUZZLE] 21/12 Jon regarding Hiding Room Just got Mail from Jon...
Quote:
Congratulations, you have solved at least part of the hiding room and proved yourself to be a worthy ally in the fight against the man in black.
You should be able to discover more in my updated journal. Be advised, ibidem is not sufficient, for it leads to as much error as truth (although mistakes can be extremely revealing).
The new cache password should be easy for any of my old friends and Lepidoptera protectors to work out.

Me too.
The old password still works however. So there must be clues in the mistakes. Someone already posted date errors. Is there a year when the dates in the journal would be correct? Other errors perhaps? Spelling? Word Usage?

Mutatis Mutandis. From the game environment mutatis mutandis.. thanx to google for the search.
The phrase Mutatis Mutandis is Latin and means "that having been changed which had to be changed" or more commonly, "with the necessary changes".

However, you are permitted to take the test as many times as you wish. Perhaps
you should answer more honestly next time. Furthermore, you may be pleased to
know that a charitable act may also increase your worth. If you wish to

Figuur, this has been posted in a separate topic , this one is for discussion of Jon's email about The Hiding Room only and this way it will keep the forum tidy and easy to read.
Please use Search before posting, and keep different iinformation separate.

here are the date errors Ifound so far:
24.4. - he says it's thursday, when really it' saturday (thursday would be 22.4.)
24.4. - he repeats this date
10.5. - the day of the witchfest, if you go to the link he gives the date is 8.5.
6.7. - probably ment 4th of july
not real - england vs. france, the game was on 13.6. (he says nothing about the game in the entry under the date 13.6.)
23.7. - quadrophenia screening, Stella Artois site states that the screening of quadrophenia was on the 24th
11.8. - he got an email from S&S on FRIDAY 13th, two days later
29.8. - marlowe should start work on their new premises; on Mrlowe site the date when they supposedly start is 27th
25.9. - Jon says he's going to Oxford on saturday, 25th is saturday (on the 27th he mentiones that he went to the library yesterday so on 26th, wich would be sunday
I found this dates mentioned in one post only and not all of them, so don't be angry if you think I haven't checked it. I did.
Anyway, new here, so hi everybody

Not too much new information. He only confirms our previous thoughts that he took the book from the Hilbert hotel. That's about it. He might be off for the holiday I guess.

How I found it:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I found it via the August 14th cache entries' useful link. Was that link even there before today? Turns out the crossword was good for something...

I'm impressed - but I don't see how the link has anything to do with the crossword - good play... cuz I can't see it.
I would think, though, that the new entry, "I really hope my allies understand the difference that I've made" has some sort of meaning....?
