My last sorta-hint is regarding step 4 being the opposite of the other puzzle: think about what had to be done in the other word search puzzle linked to in the hint (check the solution if needed), and do the opposite.<br /><br />I'm hitting the sack, will check email in the morning.

Solving this puzzle!<br /><br />Anyhow, I'll post a last hint here, though I don't know how helpful it will be.<br /><br />As I mentioned, Step 2 and Step 4 are all about unscrambling the message. Step 4 is about the message itself - if you figure out what it means, it will tell you where to look and the answer will be spelled out.Eric Karroshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04070527828477695509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-57574148233573618522009-07-13T17:47:24.909-07:002009-07-13T17:47:24.909-07:00OK,

That was (sort of) the method I tried second time around, when I found 4 (or 3, really) of the supreme justices/love bus thingies, but worked out conclusively that it could never find at least two of those. So I'd given up on this methid.<br /><br />My first method (the one you didn't understand in my first email) really was a way of putting the grid "in sync" with the unscrambling of image 1. But, alas, apparently not the correct way.<br /><br />So now I'm stuck again, and hint 5 just told me what I knew already. Unless hint 5 is a clever way of saying it really is like that previous puzzle, but with a slight difference. Vive la difference, but I don't know what it might be.berkowit28https://www.blogger.com/profile/08194317697552106140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-71613289311255698842009-07-13T14:50:39.644-07:002009-07-13T14:50:39.644-07:00I don't even remember that last puzzle.I don't even remember that last puzzle.MR.Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04179563442472628174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-8661315983873856092009-07-13T14:48:18.968-07:002009-07-13T14:48:18.968-07:00My breakthrough only got me so far.
