there are 3 sets of 3 number groups on the enxt page, my guessing is they are ascii codes (random guess + looking at number range and distribution) but I can't seem to find anything on my mac that'll let me enter them, on a PC just hit hold down alt and type th number, can someone do this?

Hold down Alt? Holy crap, then I wasted SOOOO much time translating from an ASCII table.

I knew I was on the right track
If you really wanted to waste time you could apply some more basic oldschool cryptoanalysis and work it back from there based on letter distribution but it's hard to do it with a sample size that small.

The first two are plain ascii
On the Zuiderzee That old fishing sea, The Faeiries stole, The boys of Marken The old name of the site of the boy's disappearance is the name of the place you must go. The third is: hebban olla vogala nestas hagunnan hinase hi(c) (e)nda thu uu(at) unbida(n) (uu)e nu The Dutch message (De jongen....) is babelfish-translated as "the boy will only die", but I suspect a bad translation. (The Zuiderzee IS the old name... the new name is IJsselmeer) (grumble... it's dot-htm, not dot-html) Last edited by russotto; 06-17-2004 at 01:52 PM. |

I think this line's mostly filler.

That ought to work... I must say, you're all solving these at a lightning-fast pace. It took me and some other people a whole day to get this far. |

I copied that sound from the first page. Its a series of numbers. It took a while to filter out the static but here's what I came up with:
8, 2, 7, 5, 1, 2, 6, 7, 5, 1, 2, 6, 3, 9, 2, 0, 5, 3 No guarantees - best I could do. Not sure what its good for but maybe it'll help later

Got the tree sign one pretty fast but I'm stuck at the "in the darkness" page, the CuriosityKilledTheCat prompt.

Let me tell you guys right now, you will NEVER get the password for CuriosityKilledTheCat. Should I tell it to you?

If it's so impossible to get, how did you get it? Surely there's a clue somewhere.

Someone got it off another forum because we spent so long trying to figure it out. There are clues to the answer, but I doubt you'll get it.
Anyways, after this page you'll be caught up with me and most of the rest of the world. |
