This may sound crazy, but if you save the picture and rotate the buiding...Is that a guitar chord?
I realize I'm shooting in the dark right now....be easy.
[EDIT] Nevermind......really.....nevermind.

OK, link to the solves ... or explanation here? (I'm unfortunately swamped at work today ... barely able to try to watch as others solve this )

solves...

the mouseovers give the binary:
0111-0111
0110-1001
0111-0011
0110-1000
0000-1101
0000-1010
when split:
11-10111,11-01001,11-10011,11-01000,00-01101,00-01010
right 5 digit values give
23,9,19,8,13,10

no problem... it seems everyone's in standby mode now, awaiting either a reply to the emails sent, or a breakthrough discovery that the email is another puzzle...

Re: meanwhile
BTW - that's not translated "by the primer" - it's simple alphabetical positioning translation after parsing the string of numbers a little. The real genius was with Craig over on the IU board thinking to actually post the consonants' primer numerics.

This may have been mentioned before, but, this whole thing could have something to do with gravemind and cortana's conversation or perhaps durga.

As all the definitions in the e-mail are directly googleable, it stands to reason "a small quantity" is exactly the definition of the word in question. As such, "little" does not have that definition, but "spot" and "bit" do. I lean toward "spot" as the one we want, since all the others seem to have 4 letters...
Check out dictionary.com for reference.

the definitions come from WordNet or directly from v1.7 at http://die.dict.net
a set of two similar things considered as a unit = pair
free from risk or danger = safe
a small quantity = spot
attractive especially by means of smallness or prettiness or quaintness = cute
a strip of land projecting into a body of water = cape
all 4 letters. The question now, is what about the synonyms? or the fact they're all 4 letters? or what about the first two lines of the email?

Am I the only one who thinks this could be a ILB spinoff or cortana/gravemind ARG? Come on keep an open mind.

Why, because they bought a Google ad word/phrase?
That ain't too compelling. Time will tell, I suppose!
