1Is it possible that any other tags could apply to your puzzle?? – Daedric Jan 29 '16 at 13:33

I will take a look at tags, but I afraid it may spoil the puzzle – Sadegh Jan 29 '16 at 13:37

Oh, then don't worry, Just though that if we narrowed it down a bit it would be easier. – Daedric Jan 29 '16 at 13:38

2I figured they were probably people's initials, and I looked here: peoplebyinitials.com for a few that seemed "unusual" enough to narrow something down. I was a tiny bit surprised to find that GK helped narrow it down better than VK or VA. – question_asker Jan 29 '16 at 13:45
