For you, it Seems as though Einstein himself cannot match your intellect, Only surpassed by the beauty of the Eiffel. p.s. Eileen wishes you the best of luck on your interview. p.p.s. did you get the first two letters that I posted to you? love, john.

Proceeding as though it isn't... Are the oddly placed capital and lowercase letters (i.e. "dear", "Fire", "Twilight", etc.) relevant? is this a true story?

Proceeding as though it isn't... Nope, it's a riddle. Are the oddly placed capital and lowercase letters (i.e. "dear", "Fire", "Twilight", etc.) relevant? Yes. is this a true story? Irr, but let's just say no.

All the words in lowercase? Some of them?

Balin (Balin) New member Username: Balin Post Number: 11902 Registered: 4-2010 Posted on Friday, February 11, 2011 - 1:33 am:        So those are: Nicole Several Eiffel Zenith Fire Twilight Fighting For Seems Einstein Only Eiffel Eileen I Is this correct? Are the capital letters themselves relevant? If the words in capitals started with the same letter, but were different words, would the riddle still work? Pikachizzle (Pikachizzle) New member Username: Pikachizzle Post Number: 505 Registered: 5-2009 Posted on Friday, February 11, 2011 - 1:35 am:        So those are: Nicole Several Eiffel Zenith Fire Twilight Fighting For Seems Einstein Only Eiffel Eileen I Everything except for this one. Is this correct? Mostly. Are the capital letters themselves relevant? Yes. If the words in capitals started with the same letter, but were different words, would the riddle still work? Yope. Not necessarily, but you're half right. Balin (Balin) New member Username: Balin Post Number: 11908 Registered: 4-2010 Posted on Friday, February 11, 2011 - 1:40 am:        Length of the words relevant? Last letters of the words? Number of consonants? Of vowels?

No. Last letters of the words? No but... Number of consonants? Of vowels? No to both.

Balin (Balin) New member Username: Balin Post Number: 11911 Registered: 4-2010 Posted on Friday, February 11, 2011 - 1:49 am:        So the first and second letters of each word are relevant - is that all of them? If so, we have: Ni Se Ei Ze Fi Tw Fi Fo Se Ei On Ei Ei Right?

The original pizzle: "It's so beautiful, Nicole." dear Nicole, Several days ago, the sunrise over the Eiffel tower reached its Zenith at three, like Fire burning into the Twilight, Fighting back the enveloping darkness. For you, it Seems as though Einstein himself cannot match your intellect, Only surpassed by the beauty of the Eiffel. You now know the significance of the capital letters. p.s. Eileen wishes you the best of luck on your interview. p.p.s. did you get the first two letters that I posted to you? You know that the first two letters of the the capitalized words matter. love, john.

Several numbers with more than one digit? Pikachizzle (Pikachizzle) New member Username: Pikachizzle Post Number: 518 Registered: 5-2009 Posted on Friday, February 11, 2011 - 11:19 am:        Is the sequence of digits meant to signify one 13-digit number? 13 one-digit numbers? Several numbers with more than one digit? This is a little bit difficult to answer, but the sequence of numbers signifies one number made up of other numbers, some of which have one digit and some of which have multiple digits.

Yes. 2-digit? No. 3-digit? Yes. 4-digit? No. 5-digit? Yes. More-than-5-digit? No. Try to figure out what the rest of the riddle means, like the beginning.

It is extremely relevant, but only for similar reasons as the content of the letter.

I worked at Barnes & Noble, so... Is 9780525478188 an ISBN number?! Upon reflection, it does look like one!!!

Is 9780525478188 an ISBN number?! Upon reflection, it does look like one!!! ****SPOILER**** The italicized gives you "ISBN", the letter gives you the numbers, and the p.p.s. tells you to look at the first two letters. The book is "Paper Towns" by John Green. Congrats to Kayleetonkslupin for the solve!
