Rock Lobster and the dead duck?? (parrot, falcon, whatever) I wish I had seen that movie. Maybe it would shed some light on whodunnit. And we'd get an idea of what all the mods look like, too.

Translated ... "Once identified, simply send us his name by email"

Actually "son" refers to the word "nom" which is masculine.

I have a new theory. pshrynk was killed by his curiosity.

Montsnmags International Temporal Buildings ... Inc. were performing the additions to the green suite ordered by Mr Turcic. During lunch time MR pshrynk, admiring the work being done by the excellent building crew, managed to press the red button specifically marked for him not to touch. The inevitable happened. While the walls reshaped for conference layout, the forgotten crowbar on top of one of the walls just fell to his death...

... yes, to his death.

It's the classic case of the crowbar curiosity death... curiosity death crowbar...death from crowbar curiosity... whatever.

Well, I went totally through the story AGAIN (thank you Catire

).

I still have the same conclusion. Eliminate the "red herrings" and just go with the basic criminal clues, and there really is only "one" who could have committed the crime.

** Does the hint " " give it away?**

Of course, I could be totally wrong.

This is sooo confusing.

So, that's why I've had this headache for the past two days! And I thought it was a sinus infection.

Thanks for saving me a costly trip to the clinic!

I eliminated the "red herrings" and went with the basic criminal clues. And there are only two, maybe three who could have committed the crime. If it is really a unique solution that can be arrived at by pure logic, I guess my logic is on holidays somewhere.

I'll sleep on it and see...

Now I have to go and re-read the story to spot the general errors, historical inaccuracies and dodgy accents

Just as I thought I was getting somewhere, too!

Crystal clear, like mud.

After checking the last installment I get

INGPPLLLELLBEOFTOSELUESCSTYNULLLEE

Now I just have to apply one of Nate's theories and the answer will be there.

Oh wait, I forgot to mix in
