THE YELLOW LETTERS SHOULD BE YOUR FIRST CLUE. IN THE RIGHT ORDER THERE’S A MESSAGE FOR YOU.

TO DETERMINE THE ORDER, THE NUMBERS DON’T LIE. THEY WILL SHOW YOU THE PATH TO TRY.

THAT THERE ARE TWO PATHS MAY NOT FILL YOU WITH JOY, BUT DON’T BE DISMAYED, ONE’S JUST A DECOY

THOUGHTS OF MATH CLASS MAY DISHEARTEN YOU, BUT A MAP WITH WORD PROBLEMS IS YOUR BEST CLUE.

FIND THE COMMONALITY BETWEEN THE ANSWERS TO THE MATHEMATICAL WORD PROBLEMS. THAT WILL BE THE GUIDE TO FOLLOWING THE CORRECT PATH OF THE MAZE TO THE RED SQUARE IN THE CENTER. CAUTION, THOUGH; ONE PATH IS A DECOY.

EACH NUMBER SOLUTION TO THE WORD PROBLEMS IS A PRIME NUMBER. ANSWER 1 = 17, ANSWER 2 = 5, ANSWER 3 = 7, ANSWER 4 = 43 AND 17. THEN, STARTING AT ONE OF THE ARROWS, FOLLOW THE PATH CREATED BY THE SEQUENCE OF PRIME NUMBERS. FOR QUICK REFERENCE, SEE THE LINK TO PRIME NUMBERS BELOW. WHEN YOU GET TO A LETTER, LOOK FOR THE NEXT PRIME NUMBER IN THE SEQUENCE. THE LETTERS SPELL A MESSAGE: “INVASION OF POLAND SEPT FIRST”. STARTING AT EITHER ONE OF THE ARROWS, THERE IS A PATH OF PRIME NUMBERS BUT ONE OF THEM SAYS “INVASION OF THIS IS WRONG”.

The triangles will help you, of that there’s no doubt. Just know they won’t work until you cut them out.

There are some strange letters with Francoise Rosay. With them the triangles have something to say.

The triangles might well be confusing to you. It might help to know you only use two.

One triangle fits in another quite well. Match them and they have secrets to tell.

If only the first word seems to translate, turning a triangle unlocks the gate.

In order to figure how much to turn, the ‘clocks’ have a message that you must learn.

CUT OUT THE TRIANGLES WITH LETTERS AND LINES. TWO OF THEM ARE USED TO DECRYPT A MESSAGE. THE ENCRYPTED MESSAGE IS ON THE POSTCARD “FRANCOISE ROSAY”. THERE IS A HINT AS TO HOW THE TRIANGLES WORK TOGETHER. PUT THE SMALLER EQUILATERAL TRIANGLE INSIDE THE LARGER ONE SO THAT THE LETTERS LINE UP. SET ASIDE THE REST OF THE TRIANGLES. THE ARROW ON THE SMALL TRIANGLE SHOULD START BY POINTING THE SAME DIRECTION AS THE DARK END OF THE SMALL TRIANGLE DRAWN INSIDE THE LARGE ONE. THE MESSAGE THIS DEVICE CAN DECRYPT IS ON THE FRANCOISE ROSAY POSTCARD. FIRST, THE CLOCKLIKE DRAWINGS SHOW YOU HOW TO ROTATE THE TRIANGLE. THE FIRST SHOWS ONE ARROW POINTING UP. THIS MEANS DO NOT ROTATE THE SMALLER TRIANGLE. FIND THE LETTERS IN THE FIRST WORD OF THE ENCRYPTED MESSAGE ON THE SMALLER TRIANGLE. FOR EACH WORD YOU WILL NEED TO ROTATE THE INNER TRIANGLE ACCORDING TO THE HAND POSITION AND NUMBER IN THE ‘CLOCKS’.

THE FIRST CLOCK SHOWS AN ARROW POINTING UP. DO NOT ROTATE THE TRIANGLE. “QHEZAX” LINES UP WITH “FRANCE”. THE NEXT ‘CLOCK’ SHOWS AN ARROW POINTING TO THE RIGHT AND THE NUMBER 2. ROTATE THE TRIANGLE TO THE RIGHT BY 2 CORNERS. “HDTKEHVD” LINES UP WITH “INVASION”. THE NEXT ‘CLOCK’ SHOWS AN ARROW POINTING TO THE LEFTAND THE NUMBER 1. THIS MEANS ROTATE THE TRIANGLE LEFT BY 1 CORNER. “LNO” LINES UP WITH “VIA”. THE FOURTH ‘CLOCK’ SHOWS AN ARROW POINTING RIGHT AND THE NUMBER 2. ROTATE THE TRIANGLE TO THE RIGHT BY 2 CORNERS. “EHTXZZXO” LINES UP WITH “ARDENNES”, WHICH IS THE NAME OF AN AREA ON THE FRENCH EASTERN BORDER. THE MESSAGE: “FRANCE INVASION VIA ARDENNES”.

THE CALENDAR SHOWS ONE SPECIAL DAY. USING THAT WILL WILL SHOW YOU THE WAY.

THE CALENDAR GIVES AN IMPORTANT CLUE, BUT THE MAGIC POSTCARD HOLDS WHAT YOU MUST DO.

THE DATE IS THE KEY BUT IF IT’S NOT MAKING SENSE. STOP USING WORDS AND USE NUMBERS HENCE.

THE DATES MIGHT CONFOUND BUT DON’T LOSE THE CHANCE TO WRITE IT THE WAY THEY DO IN FRANCE.

DECIPHERING CODE CAN BE HARD IT IS TRUE, BUT THE SEQUENCE OF NUMBERS TELLS YOU WHAT TO DO.

IF YOU ARE USING THE DATE BUT CAN’T TELL WHICH WAY TO GO, AN ARROW WILL TELL YOU WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW.

WRITE THE DATE SHOWN ON THE CALENDAR IN NUMBER FORMAT AND IN THE EUROPEAN STYLE, WITH THE DAY, MONTH, THEN YEAR. USE THAT SEQUENCE OF NUMBERS TO SHIFT THE LETTERS OF THE ENCRYPTED MESSAGE ON THE POSTCARD “CONGRES MAGIQUE”.

THE DATE OF THE CALENDAR IS 23 DECEMBRE 1939. OR NUMERICALLY, 23-12-1939. USE THIS SEQUENCE OF NUMBERS TO SHIFT THE LETTERS OF THE MESSAGE “BACKWARD”. SO THE FIRST LETTER OF THE ENCRYPTION, H, SHIFTS BACK 2 LETTERS IN THE ALPHABET TO THE LETTER F. WHEN A LETTER ‘SHIFTS’ BACKWARD PAST THE LETTER ‘A’, CONTINUE FROM THE LETTER Z. FOR EXAMPLE THE LETTER C, WHEN SHIFTED BACK 9 BECOMES T. CONTINUE TO CYCLE THROUGH THE NUMBER SEQUENCE UNTIL YOU REACH THE END OF THE MESSAGE. USING THIS DECRYPTION, THE MESSAGE “HRPFSJWRQQJPHKHPWQJPHNUVCQZ” READS “FOOD RATIONING BEGUN IN GERMANY”.

EXPOSITION INTERNATIONAL OFFERS MUCH TO THE CURIOUS, BUT USE BOTH IMAGES OR YOUR RESULTS WILL BE SPURIOUS.

THE SMALLER IMAGES AREN’T JUST THERE FOR FUN. THEY HINT AT THE TYPE OF CIPHER WE’VE DONE.

THE NUMBERS HERE ARE AN IMPORTANT CLUE. THEY LET YOU KNOW HOW MANY ROWS TO DO.

THE SMALLER IMAGES HAVE MORE KNOWLEDGE TO SHARE. THE PATTERN’S AN IMPORTANT CLUE THAT IS THERE.

THE PATTERN IS USED MORE THAN ONE TIME. CONTINUE TO USE IT UNTIL YOU’VE TRANSLATED THE LINE.

ONCE IT IS WRITTEN, THERE’S ONE MORE THING TO KNOW. YOU HAVE TO READ IT ROW BY ROW.

THE ARRANGEMENT OF THE IMAGES IN A DIAGONAL SUGGESTS THE TYPE OF CIPHER AS WELL AS A CLUE AS TO HOW TO READ IT. THE FRENCH NUMBERS 1 THROUGH 4 TELL YOU HOW MANY ROWS THERE ARE. STARTING TOP ROW LEFT END, WRITE THE ENCRYPTION, “DIBXEGAWAENINLNDELZ”, DIAGONALLY FOUR LETTERS DOWN, THEN THREE BACK UP, THEN DOWN AND UP AGAIN FOR THE DURATION OF THE MESSAGE. THEN READ THE MESSAGE LEFT TO RIGHT ACROSS THE FOUR ROWS.

“DIBXEGAWAENINLNDELZ” READS “DANZIG WILL BE ANNEXED”.

THE MEANING BEHIND THE LINES MAY NOT BE CLEAR, BUT FIND THE MATCHING LINES ELSEWHERE AND A WORD WILL APPEAR.

IF YOU AREN’T SURE WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN AT YOUR VERY FIRST PEEK, IT IS AN ANSWER OF SEVEN WORDS THAT YOU SEEK.

THE POINT OF THE TRANSPARENCY MAY NOT HAVE BEEN CLEAR, BUT USING IT NOW WILL HELP YOU HERE.

IF YOU CAN’T MAKE OUT THE WORDS NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY, LOOK AT EVERYTHING ELSE TO SEE WHAT OTHER MARKINGS YOU SPY.

ONCE YOU HAVE TRACED THE POSTCARD TO THE TRANSPARENCY, LOOK AROUND TO MATCH THEM TO OTHER MARKINGS YOU SEE.

START WITH THE POSTCARD WITH ALL OF THE MARKINGS. EACH GROUPING IS COMPOSED OF PARTS OF LETTERS. TRACE THEM ONTO THE TRANSPARENCY. THEN SEARCH THE REST OF THE MATERIAL IN THE MISSION FOR OTHER ODD MARKINGS. THEY ARE THE REMAINING PARTS OF THOSE LETTERS. LINE THE TRANSPARENCY UP OVER THE ODD MARKINGS ON OTHER DOCUMENTS UNTIL YOU FIND WHICH ONES GO TOGETHER (THEY SPELL RECOGNIZABLE WORDS).

“AIR ATTACK IMMINENT AT FIRTH OF FORTH”.

IF YOU CAN’T FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PASSWORD SHOULD BE, EXAMINE EACH PUZZLE AND WHAT DO YOU SEE?

IF YOU’VE LOOKED AT THE PUZZLES AND CAN’T FIGURE IT OUT, FINDING THE CIRCLES WILL HELP SPELL IT OUT.

WHEN YOU DON’T HAVE A CLUE ON WHAT THE ORDER SHOULD BE, YOUR BEST BET IS TO TRY IT ALPHABETICALLY.

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT LETTERS BUT IT’S STILL NOT RESOLVED, USE THE LETTER THAT’S CIRCLED BUT AFTER IT’S SOLVED.

TAKE THE CIRCLED LETTER FROM EACH PUZZLE AND PUT THEM IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER TO CREATE YOUR PASSWORD. SOME OF THE LETTERS WILL CHANGE WHEN YOU SOLVE THAT PUZZLE.

THE PASSWORD TO THE PAGE WWW.THERESYSTANCE.COM/BULLARD IS dkoos (LOWERCASE). THE RESULT IS A WEBPAGE THAT DETAILS THE MEANINGS OF THE FIVE MESSAGES AS WELL AS AN EPILOGUE TO THE STORY OF EUGENE BULLARD AND THIS RESYSTANCE MISSION.
