Been a while

Hi guys it's once again time for a small update.

I've been trying to get max out of my mind and went away for a while. It didn't work.. so I'm back and dedicated to finding out more about him.

good job Grumpyboy for finding what forty-three if eager hate meant.

it is an anagram for "the year of the great fire"
the riddle contained a mention of a capital so the anwers is the year of the great fire of London; 1666.
On Flickr grumpyboy found max 1666 and that flickr member had posted 2 photos.

One of apearantly the fire of London, with a comment. the comment is gibberish and appearantly has to be translated:

the other photo is of a bald man from.. the 18th century I guess? the picture seems inverted somehow.
the comment says: the location of my hidden key can only be found if you start your quest in the wrong places.

As we have learned from grumpyboy, the key is ecnadiug, guidance inverted, like the picture of the bald man, and he deciphered it using some sort of decryption method? I don't really understand, but this seems to be the translation:

once you have decrypted this piece of text using my key from chang mai this will be your next mission london on earls court road there is a baggage storage you will need a certain document this can be found on the auction website of ebay find me there and search ebay for the word ihavefoundthekey then use the year you found along with the key as a codeword so i will believe you found the key good luck


I have checked eBay, but I havent found anything named ihavefoundthekey. Maybe we've missed a bit.

the location of my hidden key can only be found if you start your quest in the wrong places, he said.

he seems to hide his riddles in existing websites. which site would the wrong places be?
I'm going to be doing some more surfing then.

V out.
