2 attempts at drop recovery were made by RedRevolver and Ezekiel, both unsuccessfull.
Drop was recoverd by Afo, an unknown user on both the Necro and IRC
Instead of being a puzzle it was a letter to clara with a picture of a girl with an arm brace.
said drop had its signature decoded and was determined to be 15/15, the same solution as a recent Linc puzzle.
The signature on the puzzle was Levi, Deuteronomy, Masa'il, Evaristus, and the hebrew letter Hay
Levi = 3rd son of Jacob and Leah Deutoronomy = 5th book of the hebrew bible Masa'il = 15th month of the Baha'i Calendar Evaristus = 5th pope (hay) = 5th letter of hebrew alphabet
these were the same numbers from Lincs phone mashup puzzle, when looked at as fractions you get (1/5, 1/5, 1/5, 3/5, and 1/15) you get 15/15
(15/15 fraction solve thanks to acid, signature solve thanks to #maddison irc chat.)
