Letter from the past

Two days ago I wrote about an email I got from Pasi Liisola. Now I'm really thrilled, because the message Pasi was talking about has been discovered! Apparently it was in a bottle that was tied to a tree in the location (in Finland) where the coordinates pointed.

In the bottle there was a letter from Pasi, dated 7.6.1967 and a playing card with holes in it. It seems to be that some kind of a secret word is coded to the card, but based on the letter, we need more of those cards to find out the word.

Here are pictures of the letter and the playing card. See all the pictures here: photos by GuestUser17

Letter from Pasi Liisola that was found in a bottle in Finland.

A card with holes in it was also found with the letter.


This was a victory for us! We were able to locate the letter and document it, before anyone could destroy it. Thank you to everyone who took part in retrieving it! Let's keep on looking for the other ones...

    Has anyone tried laying the card over the letter in different directions, and seeing what letters show through the holes? I've got a guess that horizontally across a paragraph with eight lines (the number of holes down the short side of the card) is likely the way to go, there. And the second paragraph of the letter is eight lines long...

    1. That's an interesting idea Cor-de-lea. I haven't seen the letter or the card physically, so I don't know if it could work somehow like that? However, I think that based on Pasi's letter, we should get more of those cards before we can fully get the secret word.
