Ok, #9:

The Nhoj Case Files #9: The Case of the Frequent Notes

The Boss once again called and this time, gave me a list of numbers. "These came in this morning, the first at 7 am, each coming in intervals of 8 minutes, and they're addressed to you. What do you think are they?" he asked

I looked at the numbers, which were:

98, 0

2

262, 440, 698,1319

"Hmm, was there a return address?" I asked.

"Yes, but it might not help much. The address is in Vienna" He said

"Hmm, looks like I'm going somewhere," I said.

"To Vienna?" he asked.

"No, just down the street" I answered.

"But there's nothing there but a burger joint,  a coffee shop, and a music school!" he told me.

"I know" I said, taking my coat, leaving the Boss confused. After all, this is a personal note.

Now, where will the detective go? And a bonus Question: Who might he be meeting?


Recap:

#1: Mathsys got it 200%
#2: Zach got it just on time
#3: Zach got it simply, but no one tried to answer where the Faith diamond is
#4: Jane proved it right
#5: Zach was correct, whether or not the paper was 4.5 m. squared
#6: Mathsys answered right
#7: Zach answered correctly
#8: Zach answered wrong!
#9: Open, plus the bonus question

So, still open are:

#3's extra question,
#8, and
#9 and its extra question.

Scoreboard:

Mathsys:2
Jane:1 (though I don't think she cares anymore of the nhoj files)
Zach:5
Me: 4 (those still unanswered)
