So it's gone! Congrats dalek!
I am checking the answers to the clues. I find "(u+m)(u-m) = uumm = wmm" a stretch. I appreciate difficult puzzles, but illogical solutions are just unbearable. He could use split them up and make the clues difficult, or use "Found MRW" as the clue
You know, we talked about it at the office, and I actually wrote down u2-m2 = uu-mm, to bad it never crossed my mind to just remove the minus sign confirmed now, so here's the solution: S9EXUC2HDF6G7K9WMM6HSP96A479S9

Congrats! Had all except WMM? What does it stand for?
(u+m)(u-m) = uumm or "double u double m"
Sorry.
Did you guess that Dalek, or bruteforced it?
i figured it out after reading the thread from the previous contest
Grr... so close.
Congratz to the winner!

Well done dalek!
I would think it's about time someone would get it. Most clues have been solved. So "Salisbury" is "SP". "Disk Free" is just "DF"? How uneventful, it should be "SS" as in "Solid State" harddisks.

i thought disk free would have more likely been MB or GB. and heroin OD.
and surprised vanitygen has no minikey support still. somebody could then have turned it into a brute forcer.

this doesn't count as contact?
guess i'll have to create a throwaway twitter account...

The postcode for Salisbury is "SP", if this helps anyone. I thought of Stone Henge before. I think the postcode made more sense.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SP_postcode_area
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SP_postcode_area
My guesses are:
cyclononasulphur - S9
mdma - E
spot - X, C
vides - UC
2(C21H23NO5) - 2H
disk free - DF
vi - 6, C
G-B-D-F - G7
puli - K9
(u+m)(u-m) - D2F, DTS, DSF
360' - 6H
Salisbury -
+Domitian - 96
Llyswen -> south - A438
... - S
1001 - 9
Still no clues on the bold ones...

The formula (u+m)(u-m) makes a parabola. There is an OS called "Parabola GNU" so the answer is GNU.
Or maybe I am just going crazy and seeing patterns, logic and answers in everything

DOS -> capital O is not allowed.
Oh dear, you are right. I keep on forgetting about illegal characters
Afterthought: Do you think it's worth trying "DFS"??
Yet another afterthought: It just hit me this is fundamental algebra, so "LGB" or "LGR"??
