Found this article by Alex Goldman over at Slate magazine and it involves the above, a mystery “code” written by a “non-communicative” grandmother on index cards shortly before she passed away.
The mystery of what the Grandmother wrote on these index cards lasted 20 years…and was solved in a matter of 14 minutes after a relative posted a query asking for help figuring this out on Metafiler!

A fascinating story, and I’m glad the family has closure on what their relative was trying to “say”.
