 First time posting here, so please exude any missed etiquette. I noticed today that you can use the nit picker that was included on a certain ad in the paper. I fbelierve I see three separate things pop up. Any idea what that info is used for yet? |

Welcome, I too noticed the same thing but am also at a loss as to how to proceed!

I think I know which ad you are talking about. I only saw one thing though: I saw the letters Pd I noticed two other things about the nit picker 1. The tines are not all equal length. It almost looks like morse code. 2. It looks like a music box comb |

1. The tines are not all equal length. It almost looks like morse code. Close! what other systems use "one or another" types of code ?  |

Cd is the element cadmium and Pd is the element palladium. Together they make some kind of metal alloy. I was considering this in reference to the alchemy stuff they talked about in Issue 1. But that's as far as I've gotten. SaveSave |

Nope. It's one that you might need the product we're discussing for. |

I definitely got something different. When I ran the numbers through html, I got a set of symbols that look vaguely like letters (except the last one). They almost spell something |

Pd is 46. Cd is 48.
Silver is in the middle. Ag.

Is it relevant that the code is literally buggy?

Also...my paper has two pages with small nits printed on the bottom, and a few pages with tiny red splotches. Do y'all have the red splotches? Are they relevant, as the nits seem to be?
