[39C] The 39 Clues

Ekatprof@forums.unfiction.com — Tue, 28 Jun 2016 03:14:35 +0000

But either way regardless of all that, this forum has been a blast. I really enjoyed my time so much when this was active. So thank you to all who have traded with me, bantered with me in real life, engaged in serious discussion on the fate of the Clues and the Cahill family at large. If any of you old folks (you know who you are :D) happen to read this post after all this time, know that I am glad to get to know you as a fellow Cahill and Cluehunter. I wish you guys all the best! If I had the chance to do all this all over again, I would.

Remember, TRUST NO ONE (well technically, you gotta trust someone else you will be forever alone!), GLORY TO ALL CAHILLS, and keep on hunting for them Clues.

And now there's peace in the Cahill family again. YAY! But knowing Scholastic even after saying this Doublecross series would be the last, there's still a FINAL final special story to wrap things up. Zzzzzzzzz....More $$$ for them.

Then there's the Outcast issue recently. Quite a big mess that one. it took more than a year to clean that up.

Well the Piercers have been eliminated. No need to be in hiding anymore I suppose.

I still have all the bookmarks in my browser and the box with Stu's pickle. This was the best ARG I have encountered and I too wish it would start up again.
:cry:

I always find myself thinking of this game periodically... I was really saddened when I lost my souvenier coin they gave us last year I used to carry it around EVERYWHERE. Was my lucky coin of sorts for years. I still listen to the soundtrack I got for BA Inspirations all the time though the music makes me relive the Old memories ;-). Maybe the Eldritch Gods will answer our prayers one day!

I miss EE too.

There seems to be another ARG-thing that is asking people for their dreams.

Made me think of St. Feline.

Checking in yet again.

I suffered a blast of hope when I saw the announcement for the movie "The Signal."

SENTENCE JUMBLE PUZZLE, ASAP

That was a really good try though! As much as it kills me, i'll probably have to pass on this one.

my apologies. When I grabbed that string and put it into my railfence tool, i included a trailing space which shifted the results. I was getting WLOCEME set apart at the end, and I was certain it would end up saying WELCOME. Sadly, I think this was a coincidence and not part of any solution. I have made no further progress.

Perhaps this is not really a hidden code? How were those letters found? If you are selecting them out of some bigger text, perhaps your method is not correct. Yes, it feels like there might be a message there, but again it could be just gibberish. Good puzzles have something to let you know you are on the right track.

A good puzzle won't scramble that many letters without having a pattern to unscramble them (because it leaves too much to random chance, for starters). Some common scramble techniques include the Railfence cipher and column transposition.

Try this Railfence tool. http://rumkin.com/tools/cipher/railfence.php
If you play with the number of rails (set it for Decrypt and leave the offset at zero), you should start to see a word form at the end. (Scroll down to see the result automatically refresh in the box below, which is sometimes lower than the default browser window.

A transposition cipher puts your text into columns and then lets you swap the columns. A good tool is http://tholman.com/other/transposition/

Other patterns could rearrange your text in a pyramid or a spiral. I have not yet solved this one myself, so I'm probably giving you too many options. It's the kind of thing which will look obvious after you have the answer. Good luck!
