Catherwood -- I think the Z?GTU character is a J: it's superimposed over a G, though.

L?BHD has an H superimposed over a B, but again the H looks like it's superimposed over the B, so my guess would be LHBHD.

EDIT TO ADD: This is off-topic, but I like how the Odd-Jobs.biz quiz includes the tortoise question...very nice call-back.

Finally, a chance to get involved in an ARG. I did the test on Odd-jobs, so hopefully I'll be getting something interesting in my inbox sometime soon.

On the topic of that included cipher, I think I know what type it is. Given the original use for this particular cipher, it makes sense for the context of this ARG. Only trouble is, more information is required to crack it if I'm right.

Wow, i've been looking for something like this to do for a while, i just did the test at odd-jobs.

Has anyone tried sending an e-mail to the woman on the odd-jobs business card?

I also googled a few names in the package, like the author of the newspaper article of John Smith, didn't seem to come up with anything.

This is my first ARG, and i'm really looking forward to it.

Sorry about the previous post, didn't notice i wasn't logged in -_-



[edit]
I just went on odd-job.biz instead of odd-jobs, largely by accident, but it brought up a very different, although for some reason odd-looking, website with a phone number on it (might not even be a proper phone number).

To me the website doesn't look legit, or at least not overly-professional, but then that could be because i'm not from the US and i guess a handy man wouldn't have a professional web page. Also the catchphrase at the top seemed a little odd for a handy man, "Uncommon Jobs, Extraordinary Results", the word 'Uncommon' in particular seems odd for this and fits well with the other, main site.

It only raised suspicion because of how similar the address was and that the website is hardly complex, so it could just be a genuine bloke trying to run a business.

Anyway, tell me what you think, if i'm being silly or if it looks odd to you too:
http://www.odd-job.biz/index.html

Also, i would ring the number and just say i was looking for Loki, just in case it's a real number, but i live in the UK...

Just posting to say "IN"! Sounds like a lot of fun.

We should try and contact this Meg Sarah Street, but what would we say?

I took the test! Great questions. My first ARG (I've lurked through others). Can't wait to see where this goes.

I've made a start at translating the Russian document:

I've got a lot on my plate right now, but I'll pitch in what I can (which isn't much)
