Forensic mathematics??

What? NZZ writes (German) about the CBS TV show Numb3rs, which is essentially about the forensic use of ... mathematics! Rather strange & potentially interesting - check out available episodes on btefnet. Forensic medicine, accounting, and now mathematics - that's all very well, but how about forensic philology, for instance?
Talking of numbers, here's the latest email I get from Swiss with the trip coordinates following next:

Everything clear? Thought so ...
