 		I step out for a break and I get back and the puzzle has been solved. Now I know what I'll do to help the next time there's a tough challenge. I'll go for a break.

 		Credit goes to Diandra at Unfiction...

For completeness:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Take the squares from a standard mod23 multiplication table which have single digits (1-9). Find the corresponding squares in our symbol grid. Put all the symbols together row by row. Then decrypt by subbing the letter that stands for the CLASS of the symbol. For example, the number 2 would be "N" for "number", the different eyes would be "E", the different runes would be "R", etc.

The message decrypts to:
"neither from nor towards at the stlil point there the dance is
but neither arrest nor movemen and do not call it fixity
where past and future are gathered
exxept for the point the still point
theej would en mo danca nud there is only the dance"

The spelling mistakes are exactly as I decrypted. I think the PMs made some mistakes in enciphering. For the last line, for the garbled letters, if you shift the symbols left then it reads properly " there would be no dance and there would only be the dance"

Anyways, it's T S Eliot, "Burnt Norton". so the new page is www.mythosphere.org/tseliot.html


Good job Diandra!!! (she said dmax was crucial too!!!) Good job to all those involved in the solve Very Happy

Here is the whole T.S. Eliot passage:
PASSAGES



At the still point of the turning world. Neither flesh nor fleshless; Neither from nor towards; at the still point, there the dance is, But neither arrest nor movement. And do not call it fixity, where past and future are gathered.
Neither movement from nor towards, neither ascent nor decline. Except for the point, the still point, There would be no dance, and there is only the dance.
- T.S. Eliot "Four Quartets: Burnt Norton,"

And I forgot to say great job to Diandra too Very Happy

 		The still point in polarity therapy refers to perfect alignment of energy.

 		Great work, folks, I was starting to think we were in trouble on this one. Of course, we needed some hints from the guides, but they can't all be easy, now can they?

 		Spiders aren't insects
After having spent hours with that thing, I would like everyone to know that spiders are not insects! They are actually arachnids.

 		If you're referring to the third symbol on the grid, I think it's a beetle. Smile

 		As a bio major, I assure you spiders are both insects and arachnids. The two are not mutually exclusive.

 		Alright, gonna eat my words here. Insecta is a class within phylum arthropoda, which also contains class arachnida.

Note to self: stick to genetics
