Corrected entry: When Riley writes "S,S,A,N,D" on the paper, the kid points out how odd his N's are. But when he looks over the whole message, there are two normally written N's.

Corrected entry: Ben had digital scans of the Silence Dogood letters before ever having gotten the clue about "The key in Silence undetected". Obviously, he'd need the originals that his father had to get scans, and Ben seems surprised when his dad tells him that he donated the letters. Ben didn't meet his father between going to the Charlotte and the National Archives (as evidenced by Patrick's shock at the fact that Charlotte was a ship), so why did Ben have the scans of the Silence Dogood letters when as far as he knew, he didn't need them?
Correction: Ben is a history major and a collector. While he didn't know for sure what clues he'd need, I imagine he probably made sure to collect anything that came from the founding fathers hands as they were involved with this treasure and could be holding clues anywhere. It would also make sense to make scans that way he doesn't have to keep going back to his father who does not support his hunt for the treasure. He may have previously looked over the letters to see if there was any clue in those letters as to who "charlotte" was.

Corrected entry: Having recently visited the National Archives, I find it amazing that Ben and Riley entered the Archives as much as they did. Entry to the National Archives requires waiting in a very long line which takes hours and getting into the rotunda where the Charters of Freedom are requires waiting in line as well. I don't think that Ben and Riley had that much time on their hands.

Correction: The kid points out just the one letter "N", not any of the other "N"'s. It's just the one "N" that's unusual.
And he might be making just one N different in case someone finds the paper. "It's a cipher"
