Difference between revisions of "Pigeon message"

First note from Mr. Zipp was delivered by a carrier pigeon (named HTMLvis later). Maddison and Adam found the bird outside Maddison's door. The note was tied to the leg of the pigeon. One side of the note said:

maddisonatkins@yahoo.com Login immediately. You will know the password

There was a message in the Morse code on the other side:

--... ....- / -.... .---- / -.... --... / ..--- ----- / -.... ..--- / -.... ..-. / --... --... / --... ...--

It translated to hex as:

74 61 67 20 62 6F 77 73

Hex translated to text as:

tag bows

"Tag bows" appeared to be anagram to "two bags".

It was unclear what this meant. However, Whiskey, Maddison's dog, helped to figured it out. Whiskey chewed the note a little and then Maddison noticed that there was some message inside the note as well. So "two bags" were supposed to mean that a note was "double bagged" and had a message inside too.

Message inside was:

In an Apple - In a Ruby - Under your elbows - Near the wall. 11(B)12  Hurry

It was solved as:

In an Apple - Big Apple
In a Ruby - Rue B bar
Under your elbows - under the table
Near the wall
11(B)12 - the bar was located on B ave. between 11th and 12th streets in Manhattan 
Hurry

It lead to the first drop in New York.
