Decipher the message (i have no idea what it says btw)
I would guess that the circles are vowels and the rectangles are consonants.

SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on the interpretation of symbols in encoded messages, specifically identifying circles as vowels and rectangles as consonants. Participants noted ambiguity in certain letters, particularly the second letter on the fourth row and the first letter on the fifth row. A specific reference was made to a letter from the years 1979–1981 and 1999, suggesting a historical context for decoding. The conversation emphasizes the necessity of context for accurate interpretation of encoded messages.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of basic encoding and decoding principles
- Familiarity with symbolic representation in linguistics
- Knowledge of historical context in communication
- Ability to analyze ambiguous information
- Research methods for decoding symbolic languages
- Explore the history of encoded messages from 1979–1981 and 1999
- Learn about linguistic theories related to vowel and consonant representation
- Investigate tools for analyzing ambiguous text in encoded messages
This discussion is beneficial for linguists, cryptographers, and anyone interested in the analysis of encoded messages and symbolic communication.

Technically, although most of it is clear, I believe the 2nd letter on the 4th row and 1st letter on the 5th row are ambiguous. Only 1 letter makes sense for the 2nd letter on the 4th row, so I'm going to have to guess that they mean the one from 1979–1981 (and 1999), and NOT the older or newer ones.
It asks a question, but without some context, I'm not sure there's a good answer.

Wow, there's a LOT of ambiguity in those particular letters! As of today, I count 12 possibilities, and after 2016, there ought to be 18 possibilities. They probably should have chosen a different combination to get that letter. And BTW, if you're not from the USA, you may need to do a little more research on this one.

The answer:
The key:
Where is the main apt office?
The key:
Rectangles are bills, circles are coins. The number to the right of the figure is the number of the letter in the name of the person depicted on that piece of US currency. For example, Jefferson is depicted on the $2 bill, and E is the fifth letter in Jefferson. So the last letter on the first line is E. The letter P stands alone. Too bad Polk wasn't more charismatic.
