The key is NOEL. The N is not in the top left quadrant.

You're close... I just hope you know it when you see it ;)

Is the key "NOEL" or "no" "L"?

This is starting to smell like something Moe might cook up!

Is it significant that the letter L only occurs once and only in the bottom right quadrant?

Is it significant that the only letter from NOEL in the top left quadrant is O and top right is E and bottom left has NO while bottom right has all 4 letters?

Are the characters in each quadrant decrypted left to right line one, then line 2, then line 3?

Lars - I think you're reading too much into things. No particular significance to how many times each letter appears in each quadrant. You are very close. Just remember hint 1, four quadrants, and keyword NOEL. That's all you need.

I suspect you are unknowingly making a faulty assumption. If you go through past contests Moe has done, someone asked a question about this assumption once.

Hope that helps (or confuses :) ).

I seriously don't have time to work on this any more. Moe, it's up to you.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Sorry I didn't have time to work on this any further. I hoped someone might pick up the torch, but I have a 6-year-old and an 8-year-old, so Dec 22-26 is pretty busy!
