Sniffy's coded message decoded
i_b04_04 Book 4What happened
During Egyptology Class, Mr. Sniffy set the class a long task (writing out Andri-Grimminik Herr-Groggen-Chommen-Hummen-Grekken's name in hieroglyphics), then paced around scribbling on parchment, photographed it and sent it. Dash deployed his butterfly-cam-drone to secretly photograph Sniffy's parchment. The printed image showed the message written in home-made hieroglyphics and included a drawing of a double-tailed cat (Devil-Cat). Rob and Greta could not decode it. During subsequent lessons (Waterslide Class, Library Class) the team progressively decoded more symbols: the Amazing Ideas Box, then a library building, and finally a cube of ice (meaning 'freeze'). The full decoded message: Devil-Cat was to use 'Pause!' to freeze everyone in the library so Sniffy could steal the Amazing Ideas Box.
Resolution
The message was fully decoded, but too late to prevent the theft.
