 		[PUZZLE] [SOLVED] Dinah's print-out
We came, we milled around Abbey Road and we conquered.

The March 19th Abbey Road clue turned out to be three clues stuck to various objects within view of the webcam at http://www.abbeyroad.co.uk/virtual_visit/webcam/.

Typically, I don't have them with me (so someone else will have to fill you in with the gory details) - but they contained along the bottom a crossword clue:

Quote:
hang exec ruined on stock market (8)


..for which the answer is:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
EXCHANGE - 'hang exec' ruined (ie, anagrammed) gives 'exchange' which is synonymous with 'stock market'


Sure enough, when a suspicious looking lass arrived with a stack of envelopes, we wandered over and asked if she was Dinah and gave her the password - and received an envelope each (signed, with a kiss) containing our old friend the Perplex City postcard (yes, the same one as before) and a print-out of an email conversation not dissimilar to the original dinahSPLATperplexcity.com email.

 		The email thread is a discussion about how the Sente intended to fill the last two blanks on the video that later became the New York and London postcard hunts.

In it is the expected fragment of backstory:

Possible motives for the theft remain unclear. A ransom demand is seen as one likely development, as the Cube, whose value is almost incalculable, could not be sold on the open market. John Ha, owner of the Ha Gallery on the Mobius Strip, conjectured that the Cube may have been stolen "to order" for a wealthy collector.

 		However, in the email conversation is one post that is encrypted - possibly using the Vigenere cipher. I'm typing it up as we speak.

Escher who extensively used the image in the academy logo, also used the mobius strip.

As far as we can now tell, the academy was founded in around 573 bc. Certainly it can be shown to exist by the year 571 bc, when we learn from the journal of Degabus of Malme that an groupe of scholars have late taken residence in the city.

Purposeing here to study both the ancient and the modern mysteries,
they have for a year or more taken rooms with Mrs. Feon of Kingdom Street, who complains mightily of the noxious stink emanating from their
alchymical experimentations. But i hear they have in mind to remove
to the cellars late of Mr Beston brewer, so recently passed away academy
scholars will naturally be familiar with the Beston rooms. These are
unlikely to be the original cellars once occupied by that scholarly
fellowship, but do seem to be in roughly the right location. Later, the
same year Degabus notes a behaviour pattern that might be familiar
to the more junior members of the academy today. The scholares of Beston Cellars may rightly be called the natural inheritors of those brewing
rooms, for i observed this night in Thilke Market. As i returned home after
dining with Mr. Shaarten, a supposed scholar - whom i identified by his cap - drunken and reeling in the street, i made as to pass by him swiftly but he
being jovial in his cup, scalled out: "Hi sir, would you pass by a scholar
without raising your arm?" "Hi, i see no scholar here Sir, unless it be a
scholar of the sweetened sleep". he "Sir think you that viti culture is no subject for study." I, sir, I do not call your pursuit study. For the more
you study in this fashion, the duller your mind becomes. I think I may consider myself the match in wit for any scholar, called by some academicians.
Despite the continuing disapproval of the townsfolk, the academy remained. It grew in size, taking on additional rooms in the area of those original Beston cellars, and offering a tuition service to the sons and daughters of wealthy townsfolk, as a way of funding it's continuing
research. No scholars of note were yet resident in the academy, although Varkin writes, that she passed through on her way north, and comments that she enjoyed an excellent dinner - though the tables of this academy be fine in deed. The discourse of its scholars is finer, yet the academy's first significant expansion came in 452 bc, with a gift from Naskent Taversen. Taversen, one of the city's wealthiest and most influential
landowners, had been fascinated by the studies of the academy. He had
sent his only daughter, Aetiant to be educated by the scholars, and is known to have observed some of Macelvoy's early experiments with
static electricity. Aetiant Taversen became a scholar at the academy, and apparently negotiated with her father the substantial gift he gave the institution in his last years. Taversen gifted his house along with various surrounding pieces of property to the academy. In perpetuity with this bequest, the academy was able to shore up its financial situation, which - until then - had been uncertain at best. The patronage of Naskent Taversen also brought the academy to the attention of many other wealthy and important people across the country. When in four four three bc Aetiant Taversen was elected by the other fellows of the academy to become its first master, she was able to preside over an unprecedented period of growth and success, in which for the first time, the academy was able to select its pupils.

Rather than presenting it in any elaborate format, suggest we simply pass this
email conversation on wholesale.

My team is still here. I think the scribes would enjoy coming up with something
for this. I'll get back to you shortly.

Not sure yet.

I've been thinking that it would be nice to give the people that turn up something
extra. Problem is we haven't really jot time to plan anything more elaborate at
this stage. I'll have a think on it tonight.

I'm not happy with the reliability of that webcam, do you have any other
suggestions? I have a SFC meeting now, let's discuss this later.

Thanks

Fair point.

Makes sense to do something in London then.

xxxx suggested doing something with a webcam? That way people who can't get
to London can still see what's going on.

One of the guys from the office could be on the bench outside this pub or sitting
in one of the windows above it:

He could then give the text fragment to anyone who approached him with a
password??

This is the text by the way:

LOST. The Cube. Reward.

in its own right. We are committed to ensuring its safe return." He was not
available for further comment.

Possible motives for the theft remain unclear. A ransom demand is seen as one
likely development, as the Cube, whose value is almost incalculable, could not
be sold on the open market. John Ha, owner of the Ha Gallery on the Mobius
Strip, conjectured that the Cube may have been stolen "to order" for a wealthy
collector.

Academy insiders told reporters today that security has been notoriously lax on

xxxx mentioned the NY suggestion. It seems perfectly appropriate.

I'm anxious we don't spend any more time on this than necessary. As you know,
pressure is intensifying now. It's important we remain focused on key objectives.

Hi Sente

I agree. We were actually talking about this last night. I think xxxx mentioned
the New York idea to you? Everyone over here seems happy with it.

This only leaves one slot. I'll get back to you later - I'll go and ask the others if
they've had any new ideas on this.

Please confirm your plans regarding the final two video slots. xxxx mentioned
you had been investigating some alternative strategies. I see no harm in
changing tack.

 		Just for completeness's sake - the first page of the document bears the Academy seal as a 'watermark'...

...which made OCR-scanning the first half of the encrypted text a pain in the proverbial!

 		Anyone notice that the second to last email is almost identical to the second to last email in the original dinahSPLATprojectsyzygy.com email conversation, dated almost a year before this one?

What a cool idea, I love it. All we'd need to do is sanitize our email exchange by
removing reference to things like xxxx, print it out, and then give it to whoever
turns up on the day (I'm now thinking Dinah should do this btw!) This could be
the last email of our exchange we publish.

Unless of course you follow this one with a witty reply that our hard-core webcam
and ground ops friends would enjoy.
