A big difference between this code and the code from Surveillance is the long string of zeros at the end of this code. I feel that we won't get far until we figure out the purpose of these zeros.

The only reasonable purpose of the zeros is that the number of them corasponds with a letter in the alphabet.

Zaria said a few pages back that the zeroes might be meant to form a pair with the previous 13 numbers, like this:

60 50 50 40 30 70 90 00 80 80 70 60 50

This is what I'm working with right now.

If that's the case, I find it very unusual that there are no 1 or 2 in the code (meaning each letter appears more than thrice, or not at all), and there's way more zeroes than I would expect. But I honestly can't think of any other explanation for the zeroes.

I tried factorising the number, it gives me 2^13 * 5^14 * 163 * 8042182931. Surely not the right approach.

Well, this isn't the first time TTA has shown us massive piles of 0s. As far back as Impurity long strings of 0s have been around and until now I never thought they had any real meaning.

I got an idea from looking at Jay's tweets where he was cracking the other code.

I noticed three of the number pairs go in a pattern: First digit minus one.

Actually, four of them follow that pattern if you delete the 0 from the first half of the code.

37
54
65
87
98

Not sure if it's a good idea to omit the zero, though.

Edit:

The other code contained 13 number pairs which each corresponded to 2 letters of the alphabet.
This one might literally be half that; 7.5 number pairs.
The 13 zeros at the end could be entirely omitted, one of the number pairs would become a single(or separate) digit(s).
Probably the 50 at the end.

Edit:
Oh god it's 4:00 am i need to sleep

if it helps, we have 7 numbers, then a 0, then 5 letters, then 13 zeroes.

Woah, I missed that, even if I have no idea in code cracking...

Have you thought that maybe we need another tweet/TTA's video to solve this? Well, the video thing is improbable, but it wouldn't be the first time we cannot figure out a puzzle because there are "missing parts".

Whatever, even if we have not the complete code, it looks like it would be a difficult one, and I'm thinking the equivalence of 13 numbers and 13 zeroes might be significant... TTA's seems to like pairs and symmetric things.

If we are going to get technical with this. We know that TTA has some sort of ''teleporting powers'' i allways believe that TTA doesn't hack into Jay account, he just needs to teleport him somwhere else when his computer is up and take over.

I know it may sound a bit stupid but how many times did Jay got hijacked and changed password afterwards?

Well, the answer is most likely not "Ollie swuts ok", but thanks anyway, phone. Now we know that's what happens when I enter the data into it.

Well hold on, hold on, let's not shove it off the table so fast. Perhaps we're being told that a man named Ollie Swuts is trustworthy. Maybe he's got some answers for Finn and Jake Tim and Jay.

Guys, what if we just... don't solve it? Odds are the code isn't terribly important just like the last one wasn't and simply serves as a barrier before we can actually watch the video. What if we just collectively called their bluff and waited for them to put the video up anyway? I doubt Troy will sit on the video for too long regardless.

I highly doubt he's sitting on the video to begin with, he's never done that before really (I mean, never while waiting for us to crack a code- I know he's sat on videos for other reasons such as the hotel episodes).

Point being, while there's no reason to assume this code contains anything other than some cryptic BS like "eyesssssssssssss", there's even less reason to assume it's a barrier to the video- more likely it's a diversion to keep us busy while he finishes up the entry.

Regarding the discussion a few pages ago suggesting that Troy said something about a code which would actually be mandatory for the next entry, I'm pretty sure that's not what he said. If memory serves, what he actually said was that we'd get a code late in the series that is virtually impossible to solve without its key, and the key would not be given to us until right before the final video... and this particular unsolvable code would actually contain major spoilers and answers for a change.
