I suppose that if you overlook the Glidden stuff, and spell the invention as a single word, you can get a B, but I've tried that with all the other variables I can think of.

5) And for the purposes of this quiz, should Pip's convict/benefactor be known by his first or last name? (Only a single initial is requested.)
For one, your answer should be two letters. It's a typo or something. As the game goes on, you'll see a lot of "mistakes."
As for 5, just use the most commonly referred to word.

For 2.8, the string of numbers is the message, the letters are an essential part of decoding, but are not meant to be decoded. Ignore the "or."
