I just saw one co-worker solving the puzzle with cats and faces. She was so focused on the problem that didn't notice me sneaking on her shoulder and taking this photo:
I solved the cat logic puzzle in the picture; Unfortunately it has led to a bigger version of the puzzle, but I'm working on that... The URL solution is : http://stoptoilworndiamond.co.nf/golactic/keyboard-monorail-long-lime-gravity-shironeko-lime-bullet.html
And here's my working if you want it!
Basically I figured that lion, cat and cougar were each being used to represent different truth table operators, the key was working out which was which. I just used Excel to figure it out in the end as it has all the operators as part of its functions.
Richard's picture represents a "True" value Buck's picture represents a "False" value The Lion is the "OR" operator The Cat is the "AND" operator The Cougar is the "XOR" operator
You can use the above to fill in the blanks in the truth table. Then, following the arrow on the post-it, you compare columns D, E, F, G against the lookup table and get the above URL.
We should be able to use some of what we've got from the first puzzle to solve the second, there are just some additional operators and obviously a lot more values!
I'm having a bit of difficulty with the larger one, so if anyone out there can help that would be awesome!
TS:2033-12-31-23-59-60 Richard had a very strong belief on the possibilities of computers. He firmly believed that with clever algorithms, computers would be much more capable of making intelligent decisions than humans. Moreover, he thought that computers that were obeying his algorithms would basically be omniscient. That is why he took it as his personal mission to get Toilworn Diamond included to every computer in the world. Buck didn't share Richard's ideology to the same extent, but he saw the great possibilities of making truckloads of money with Toilworn Diamond. In the nineties, they studied a lot about artificial intelligences, data mining, machine learning, and all other areas that they needed in the project. They wanted to build a system that would make a profile of a person and decide what is shown to the user based on the profile. Richard was aiming to make life more efficient by letting computers make the decisions for humans. On the other hand, Buck realized how much advertisers would be willing to pay for being able to target their campaigns based on the detailed user profiles.
Hi Beth, as discussed posting up on here too!

Hi again! Have now finally managed to work the second puzzle out, and the answer leads to:

Wow Jehane! That is really impressive work! Thanks for figuring out the logic behind the cats and solving the message. Great job!
