Odysseus

Hi, I think I have the code. (I have sent my answer to Syn, but no response yet.) I'm not sure what I should post yet, in case anyone wants to solve it independantly, but there's a little spoiler hint below... ----------SPOILER------------------------ Gur ynfg jbeq vf cebonoyl 'nycunorg'.

In addition to the observations made by team Joyson, i have noticed that letters b through m all are paired with number 2 while letters o through y are mostly paired with number 1. (y is the only exception.) Letters a and m are paired with each 1 and 2. Since a and m are twelve letters apart (amongst the represented letters) and they represent the edges of each range, maybe there's some kind of clock theme to this code? I am suspicious that one of the l2's should be an i2, and that maybe y2 should be y1. Just suspicion, nothing there yet...

Also, where is the info on the time and place for Saturday? SEEKER Hi, it's the Potluck 2 event. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=5f6fa633-a318-49af-a379-3d7541dad7af

Hmmm, Since it is now 'Invitation only', how does one seek an invitation? -Gern

In addition to the above post, the following points may be significant. There were minor textual differences between the three groups, but the encriptions are identical. It has been determined that each element of the encryption consists of a letter and a number. The means to decypher the encryption is entirely contained in the message, (no outside reference is required).

Hmmm, I was going to start a separate thread, but this one will do nicely. For any who may want to work on the prelimenary puzzle for 12 monkeys, the text for the red group is as follows: With the failure of prior attempts by James Cole, you are one of 3 teams to travel back in time to stop a devastating plague that killed 5 billion people in 1990. James Cole will aid you in your quest. Decipher this key to help you when your quest begins. You will be given encrypted instruction at that time and will not be able to decipher them unless you have the encryption solved. h2 e2 p1 l2 r1 z1 f2 z2 x1 u1 k2 t1q1 g2 d2 m1 b2 c2 O1 v1 m2 l2 w1y2 s1 j2 z1-f2 u1-g2 f2-v1-q1 m1-z1-b2-v1-m1-p1-q1-f2
