I do hope Dr Browne manages to find out who stole her coffee beans! I’m sure she could solve the mystery of where the elixir is hidden but, she’s right… it must be done by somebody completely unconnected to Professor Opus’ inner circle so as not to raise even the slightest hint of doubt. Open the envelope as instructed and solve the puzzle. Click the ‘solved’ button to enter the answer as your password.

On the chalk board, you can see words and numbers, blurred from where the janitor tried to wipe it clean. The numbers - 0s and 1s - are binary code. They have many uses. Binary code can be used to spell out letters. It can also be used to represent 'off and on'.
The lights seem to be flicking on and off in a sequence of 5s in time with the music. Can you follow the patterns of on and off? The dots on the screen might help.
0 represents off. 1 represents on.
If you happened to witness the light pattern - off, on, off, on, off - that would look like 01010 in binary code. Using the chalk board, that would match up with 'Juliet'.
When you have linked the binary code referenced in the lights with the words on the chalk board, what does it spell out? The words look like the NATO phonetic alphabet.
The lights flick on and off in this order: On, off, off, on, on (10011 = Sierra). On, off, off, off, off (10000 = Papa). Off, off, on, off, on (00101 = Echo). Off, off, off, on, on (00011 = Charlie). On, off, on, off, off (10100 = Tango). On, off, off, on, off (10010 = Romeo). Off, off, off, off, on (00001 = Alpha). Off, on, on, off, off (01100 = Lima). This spells out SPECTRAL.
