I had an idea. A strange one that would be very hard to work with, but an interesting one. What if we put it through the substitution cipher four times? So we'd take the sqrt'ed version, alphanumericize it, put it through the substitution cipher, put the result through the substitution cipher, put the result through the substitution cipher, and put the result through the substitution cipher? The number of useable letters would get smaller and smaller, but we might get a word here and there which could help us with the rest of the puzzle. (I took 1 to mean "the method used for solving the first puzzle, so method1+method1+method1+method1 = method4. That's not the whole thing, since we did other things, but someone should try it.)
