Okay, I have the
| Spoiler (Rollover to View): |
| correct totals
|
but still no idea what to do with them... I've tried
| Spoiler (Rollover to View): |
| turning them into letters every which way I can think of, adding totals of totals...
|
still nothing.
I have a feeling it's staring me in the face and I'm going to hit myself when I finally get it.

Thanks

For stegano, try not to think in black and white terms so much. Instead,
| Spoiler (Rollover to View): |
| think shades of grey.

I've been playing around with the image on various editors for a quite a while. Nothing. Can you give a hint?

Steganography is the art and science of writing hidden messages in such a way that no one, apart from the sender and intended recipient, suspects the existence of the message, a form of security through obscurity. The word steganography is of Greek origin and means "concealed writing" from the Greek words steganos (στεγανός) meaning "covered or protected", and graphei (γραφή) meaning "writing".

Re: Middle Office
Any hints on what the Worldly symbols are?[/quote]
Yes, they are
| Spoiler (Rollover to View): |
| letters of the alphabet in various languages
|
I'd sure appreciate some help locating the School of Athens seal and solving the Steganography puzzle.

A "worldly" hint in return would be appreciated... found it but almost clueless otherwise.

First you need to

|
Then,
| Spoiler (Rollover to View): |
| put the sounds of the symbols in order

Ah! Do you know,

I love the puzzle and the method of solving it.
