The code says:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Do you want access?

Reply to him with "Yes I want access."

[Nighthawk]

I would seem that way; getting a server up with such simplistic web pages is hardly "grueling"...

I got message 4 of 4 from Endrid. Obviously we've got to put these 4 messages together to come up with an answer. (my thoughts are in bold and in italic.)

On a long shot, I replied with "two words."

Like Palm, I sent a message to Support at LazarusUnion.org

the last two lines were in purple. Don't know if that is a clue or to just make it stand out more.

Mine were from the Lazarus Union also.

I'm not entirely convinced about the bus trips, bit but only because we havent determined what E is in this equation, as:

Quote:

S = X in(?) L = M Algorithm X = O_B_L_O_N_G T_U_B S_P_U_R_T_S; and L = 26 of E

therefore,

Quote:

S = (O_B_L_O_N_G T_U_B S_P_U_R_T_S) in (26 of E) = M Algorithm

In order to work it out we gotta figure out what the hell 'E' is and how you process "X in L".

So as far as I can figure we need to work E out which is labelled as "Common Communication". I have two theories for what this means:

1. Its the bit thats the same for every message, the end.

2. If its common communication and E has 26 of them, then it may be LETTERS. Therefore Ex26 = L = ALPHABETICAL? Putting ALPHABETICAL into the spaces in oblong tub spurts gives:

OABLLPOHNAG TBUEB STPIUCRATLS

Ideas from there?


Ok all that said, theres no harm in trying responding with the bus trip email Monk.

I think I got it guys - a few posts back. Am I on the right track?

I agree with Palm, you might be right but I think you only solved a clue that is supposed to help us solve the main code. Maybe it is a vigenere and that is the keyword. But who really knows until it is all solved?

EDIT

I was emailed by support as well, basically the same email as Palm's except they sent me a code as well.

Got another e-mail from lazarus union (from support) in response to an e-mail I sent them:

We apologize! Our server is still being set up and it is a very long
grueling process. Once our website is fully functional, it will be able
to
explain all of your questions.

 From lazarusunion.org

[Palm]

My 2 clue e-mails were from the lazarus union. Is that where everyone else got theirs from? Or did you get it from Bowty?

[FriarTech]

Next move....

The puzzle solved

[Oriza]

Since I have no idea what an algorhythum is (haven't quite reached calculus yet ), I'll let you guys handle this....

[Palm]

Got mine

[Nighthawk]

Quote:

A = 123456 M Algorythm applied to A: 261435 = B U Algorythm applied to B = 123456

If I'm reading this right, the "M Algorythm" is the INVERSE of the "U Algorythm".

I really, really hate puzzles like this.
