- Solve the second puzzle and reply with the solution to Sullivan. He'll respond shortly.
- View the first part of the solution: Start by placing the numbers under the letters per Sullivan's email:
HXOW GVR LTDBJ 0313 170 31317
- View the second part of the solution: Then, shift each letter that many places back in the alphabet. When you move back 0 places from H, you're still at H, but when you move back 3 places from X, you're at U. Think of the date of 03/13/17 as being in the "past", so we should go into the "past" of the alphabet too:
HXOW GVR LTDBJ 0313 170 31317 HUNT FOR ISAAC
