Puzzles

Identity Puzzle

On March 11, 2008, the unknown new person using Hana's contacts started sending puzzle clues in their posts. Some of the clues were riddles, and some were just characters from words capitalized or spelled wrongly. All of the clues either were or could be converted to letters, and a March 14th e-mail noted that the letters put together would lead to the sender's identity.

The March 11th postings did not mention anything about the puzzle, but did have two words capitalized incorrectly in both the text and e-mail. In the text message, those words were "Posted" and "submisSions". In the e-mail, the words were "relationshiP" and "pSyche". Thus, two letters come from this post: P and S.

The March 12th text directed towards the profiles at yamagatofellowship.org, and the e-mail contained two riddles about the sender's identity. Benjamin Franklin retired from printing at 42, so 41 is the answer to the first riddle. The second riddle was ambiguous. It is unclear as to whether the answer is 1 cause the legend of Kensei is known only for his love for Yaeko, whether it is 11 for Yaeko plus Adam's 10 wives, or whether it is 4 for the number of times "love" appears on the page.

The March 13th postings also did not mention the puzzle, but did have a word spelled wrong in both the text and e-mail. In the instant message, the misspelled word was "exprets". In the e-mail, the misspelled word was "intreviews". The letters R and E are reversed in each misspelled word. Thus, those letters are for the puzzle.

The March 14th text and e-mail both referenced a hidden page on Hana's website. On the linked page, the letters R and V in the link to the archive of Hana's old posts were mis-capitalized (Note: The capitalization was corrected after the puzzle was solved). The e-mail also claimed to contain the final riddle, which referred to what was "two letters within one word, three letters apart". In the phrase, "one word", the letter O is repeated twice, three letters apart. Thus, those letters are also for the puzzle. This e-mail also noted that the puzzle could potentially be solved using just the letters from this week.

Later postings helped to clarify and narrow the possibilities: The March 19th e-mail told puzzle solvers that the identity was hidden among the dream experts' doctor's names on the resources page of activatingevolution.org.

The March 20th text narrowed it down to just 8 letters, and clarified that the titles of the doctors should be included.

And on March 24th, the final clue came only by text message. It was a repeat of "How many times does Takezo Kensei "love"? The word "love" is in quotes in this e-mail and is mentioned four times on Kensei's yamagatofellowship.org page. Thus, this clue clarifies that the answer to the second March 12th riddle is the fourth letter of the alphabet: D. The meaning of the first riddle is unknown.

Thus, there were now eight known letters: P, S, D, R, E, R, V, and O. Those letters can be combined and scrambled to EVSDROPR, the username of someone at 9thwonders.com.

On March 26th, the mysterious sender confirmed his alias was Evsdropr, and pointed to the thread at 9thwonders.com where the puzzle's solution was first posted.

April 29 Puzzle

On April 29, 2008, evsdropr sent an email with a character string puzzle. To decipher this puzzle, several steps are required. First, it is required to first convert the string's symbols to the corresponding numbers on a standard QWERTY keyboard. Then, the numbers can be converted to letters by swapping each number with a corresponding letter of the alphabet. Finally, the letters have to be reversed.

The original string:          7-!$-9-*-19-@!-3
String converted to numbers:  7-14-9-8-19-21-3
String converted to letters:  G-N -I-H-S -U -C
String with reversed letters: C-U -S-H-I -N -G

Thus, the character string spells CUSHING, a character that appeared in the next graphic novel, Trust Issues, Part 1.

May 28 Puzzle

On May 28, 2008, evsdropr sent an email with a puzzle. To solve the puzzle, it is required to split the code given into odd and event parts.

The original code: siafb ainny ethha izneg lhsaa pbpie nnesh taozm eelcs haebc iknje uhlai zeenl
The odd letters:   s a b  i n  e h a  z e  l s a  b i  n e h  a z  e l s  a b  i n e  h a  z e l
The even letters:   i f  a n y  t h  i n g  h a  p p e n  s  t o m  e c  h e c  k j  u l i  e n

Thus, the odd letters repeat the sender's name, Sabine Hazel. The solution is found in the even letters: If anything happens to me, check Julien.

Upon sending the solution to evsdropr via private message on the 9thwonders.com website, evsdropr replies:

Nice work, we're on the right track...Julien's in the Company. It appears as though Sabine is suspicious of him.

On April 18, 2008 evsdropr posted the phone call conducted between Donna Dunlap and evsdropr:

Donna: Hello?
Evsdroper: Listen carefully. This is not a joke.
Donna: Jeff, is that you? I don't have time for games right now.
Evsdropr: My name is evs.
Donna: Who?
Evsdropr: Evsdropr. This is not game. This is a set up. The man across from you is a killer.
Donna: What?!
Evsdropr: You're going to tell him there's a family emergency. Then, you are going to leave.
Donna: Okay, I'll be right over, give everybody my best.
Evsdropr: Wait, one more thing.
Donna: What is it?
Evsdropr: Look under the table. I've taped a gun under your table. Take it. Hopefully you won't need it.
Donna: Alright, I'm leaving right now. I'll be there as soon as possible.

Dumont's Assignment Tracker

On June 16, 2008, evsdropr posted to the "Chapter 89: Root and Branch 2 (weeding out)" thread on 9thwonders.com:

I've been quiet lately, but it's because I've been keeping a close eye on things.

Seems Agent Sabine’s really in the thick of it now. Have you read Dumont’s Assignment Tracker yet? http://www.primatechpaper.com/AT_2.0/assignmentTracker.php

No surprises there…the root’s always the hardest to find.

She's been barking up the wrong tree.

Thompson's voicemails

On June 17, 2008, evsdropr posted this thread on 9thwonders.com:

Seems Thompson Jr. has some big shoes to fill, first his father, now Bennet. He's been receiving Bennet's forwarded voicemails. I'm mentioned a few times, but no one has a clue about my true identity, still, which is good. I'll post a few.

-Evs.

Attachments:
Voicemail #1: Evs is after you.
Voicemail #2: I know you killed Cushing.
