Hi hunters, I've been out of this hunt for a few days. The bug finally caught me, so I've been laid up. My brain is still pretty foggy, but I'm looking forward to seeing how this one shakes out.  I will say that I think FHH has been in a very generous mood.  Amanda |

Seems like I might have bits and pieces that all relate to each other...but then again I might have nothing.
Earlier in the thread, some of you are talking about "the two guys"...curious what you mean about that. The Simon and Garfunkel picture? Or something....else?

I want to thank everyone who has been sending me their thoughts and the rabbit holes they've been down. All unique approaches, unique conclusions and all different parts of the hunt they are close to.
I have had a few people ask about the cipher/ code. I can't comment on anything specific, but I can say that yes, the code is to be applied to work(s) that can be found easily online.
Tomorrow I'll post another hint if it hasn't been solved. There are two prizes, so two opportunities to win. And of course, bragging rights to solving it!
Good luck,
-FHH

1) the man to the left of the books 2) the face superimposed over the skull to the right of the books.

We should do a post-mortem after this is solved. I bet it would be fun to see all paths people went down. My web, as of yet, has no big spider in the middle of it.

Glad to see everyone is still working on it and just stuck like me!

Yesssss. That would be very fun! I've learned some really cool things.
It might be fun, before the solution is posted, to make a list of all the hidden clues we found too. I keep finding new small things.

I'm pretty sure I know those two guys and it seems important but it's hard to move further than that. I definitely have some more detailed ideas based on all the clues but haven't put it together to solve the cipher...
Maybe tomorrow's clue will catapult us to the solution!

So those two guys...they are either the same guy, fiction and real life versions. Or the fiction guy and the creator of the fiction guy.
At least that's what it seems like to me.
Left guy for sure is the fictional guy.
I hate talking in code...thinking of just putting everything I think I know out there just to spark discussion.

I have to go out and do some shoveling and cleaning out after the sleet and snow storm. I didn't want to make you all wait until after I'm finished, so here's the long-awaited clue!
This one might put some of you over the edge, so happy Saturday sleuthing, and good luck!

Alright Hunters, I've translated the quote... What's the source?

well that didn't take long...congrats Firefly. Guess we should've taken you up on posting your ideas before the clue |
