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? I have some red and yellowish splotches in the crease of the 2nd and 3rd page. It looks like a printing issue but who knows. If the splotches are relevant--if they are even the same ones you are talking about-- than I don't know how they would be, at least not at this point. My initial thoughts when I saw the nitpicker were that perhaps the uneven prongs would uncover a message or clues of some sort of places on the edge of text? I've not been thorough with it yet, but I haven't found anything that way so far. And it might be a silly idea in the first place, ha! |

By and by, I have nary a doubt you'll pick it out eventually. |

I am ashamed to say that my total guess on this turned out to be correct. I still don't know what the different tine lengths mean. I converted them to binary using a few different tools and didn't get any of the same results you guys got. One way, I got "-=mUu" and flipping the 0s & 1s got "Ò/Â/’/ª/ª/Š" what tools did you guys use to get your results? |

I got gibberish too. |

This is what I did Divide the tines into groups of 8. Long tines are 0 and short are 1. Every group of 8 is a letter that spells out a 5 letter word I hope this helps you |

I also got gibberish my first try, but when I reversed the 1s and 0s, it came up right on a couple of different online translators. |

I'm a little stuck with the final word on this one. I figured out The 5 letter code in the comb And found the hidden elements in the body of the bug *ick* I can even see how the 2 correlate, but as to the padlock, I'm stumped. Anyone with a nudge in the right direction? |

Anyone with a nudge in the right direction? It's not an "obvious" solution. You have the five letter word "quick" then determine which element is between the two you found in the ad on the periodic table of elements when you put those two words together they become the alchemic word for something we all used to be familiar with. |

I don't think it's related to the puzzles, but has anyone used it as a musical instrument yet? I tried out some waxpaper last night but didn't have much luck.

If you run a coin slowly up and down it as you hold it up to your ear, it growls at you, but that was as far as I have gotten to date in my audible explorations of it. |
