#75Hey all,
I've been at number 30 for a few days and is still stuck. Does anyone have pointers for this?

look at the image and it tells you what to do
got it...stuck @30 now
it's 100 symbols without spaces, so email shouldn't be that long, so may be:
a) several cipher symbols mean 1 clear text symbol
or
b) you must skip some symbols
my interpretation of "if you throw a pi at the wall, does it break into chunks of two" - take pi value in binary like 11.00100100001111110110... and assume, that 1 means keep symbol, 0 means discard it, but that didn't produce meaningfull email :( Such interpratation just shows, that hint is not clear enough, too much variations.

I got the email, but puzzle isn't complete. Don't understand whats missing. Maybe correct email subject?

I see. I still haven't been able to decipher it to get the email address, how were you able to?
