    Not sure wich letters we'er using but someone suggested these "UEASCHGGSRUA". The clue says the ans is a 3 word description of one of the characters. From the letters I get HUGE ARC GAUSS. Gauss is a unit of measurement of magnetisim. So, a huge arc of magnetism? Archimedes was a Greek mathematician, physicist, engineer, inventor, and astronomer.

    A streach i know but maybe put us on the right track? HTH

    Since there were 5 lines of answers for all the other Puzzles, I laid out the answers to puzzle 4 in pairs, giving a possible result of UEASCPGGSARY ... not sure it helps though

    I really don't have a clue about any of this and thank each and everyone of you for your efforts,I would have given up ages ago ,but at sometime today we have to have an answer so maybe if you put your heads together and come up with the best possible answer ,it would be better than no answer at all.
    :p
  • Any answer? anyone?

    I've looked at the book again and still nothing.

    I don't understand the 'hints' - if thats what they are (greek to me? 3-word description?)
    But my biggest problem is that regardless, I can't make 3 coherent words from any of the anagrams that sound even remotely like a description of anyone! - and I have about 6+ variations of 12 letters!!

    2 hours countdown....It would be such a shame after all the work put into working out the original 5 puzzles, the sixth one is such a showstopper..

    nope still stumped. I've tried the greek hint from many angles but I can't solve it. (by the way that is not a hint, I'm just a struggling solver). Sets of letters that make no sense, I am feeling so thick right now!!

    He mentions in his book the extremeophiles microbes Archaea, which in some way live on the metal such as gold. Last ditch attempt to put ideas out there.

    I totally forgot about this until a minute ago, so quickly read through.

    I went with marcl (thanks)..... but still at a total loss. Would love to see what the answer was.
    Thanks to all posters :A

    I'm sure I'm not right jaibaby. None of this made much sense, so I do hope they explain it at some point.
  • I can't believe how long I spent on this, but didn't actually submit anything. Its so disappointing!
