If the title has something to do, I don't know why should we exclude the Q.

Also, in relation to the typing video: I don't think it has something to do with that. It may have been a happy coincidence that hands "talk" typing, but hands can do it in a lot of different ways (in fact the first thing that came to my mind was language... but I don't think it has something to do). Even if they do type, what does that video mean? Yeah, hands type, but what? We can think of that without the necessity of a video pointing it out. The video has no answer to the decoding of the codes on Quadrant video, hence I am pretty sure it has no relevance at all.

P.S: I said we may need a tweet to decode that one. I guess my intuition wasn't that bad after all

Nice thread derailment. Mod pls

[KTsteve]

Seriously we need mods on here and active during new entry days to stop stuff like this. First off this is the thread for the TTA entry, not the tweet. Secondly we're not saying the typing video is relevant. It's just the answer to the question he previously asked. The 2 tweets together say "how do hands talk? By typing" That is all it means, the usual cryptic TTA stuff.

Now stop wasting thread space with your inflated egos, and let's see if we can figure out what the code at the end of the video means.

Let me say unequivocally that I think the typing video....

Is completely unrelated.

Well, not completely. It's the answer to the 'riddle'. However, at the very least, the video ITSELF is unimportant. There's no hidden message in the video, there's nothing special about the video, the video exists separately from the MH universe entirely. What's far more important is that it is typing, which is an answer to the 'riddle' of "How do hands talk?".

The reason it's still being discussed here (Aside from the fact that someone seems to think that the easiest solution, and one that was reached through the same method as the riddle, can't possibly be the right one and we need an FBI cryptographer to decode everything TTA says) is because there is (was?) a possibility that it was related to decoding the message at the end of Quadrant.

However unless someone brilliant comes up with some brilliant new method of being brilliant and relates the two in some brilliant new fashion to unravel the code, and thereby become a god among men on this board, it's pretty safe to assume that the Tweets are self contained phenomena and is nothing more than TTA being cryptic, and thus it wouldn't have anything to do with this video whether typing is the solution or not.

That being said, this code is infuriating me because I know once a solution is found, if a solution exists and he's not just yanking our chains again, it's going to be something ridiculously simple, because that's how TTA works.

Please, twitter talk in twitter thread.

Entry talk in Entry thread.

Those Google results twistedpuppet posted happen to include something about a keyboard as well, from what I can tell(although the page in question seems to involve some average 4chan-type morons ranting). I think that's good enough proof that the Youtube URL being related to typing is purely a coincidence.

Still though, even if the idea seems ridiculous to you twistedpuppet, using words like "idiotic" and "bullshit" makes you come across as insulting. You can disagree in a civil manner.

[Psychosis687]

Been lurking here for quite a while, and thought I'd share my theory on Quadrant and the two tweets.


1) "Who am I the third" is cryptic, but means something.
2) The first coded tweet ended up saying "how do hands talk"
3) The other tweet was: Zfo4MGJJVUNeVE
4) Decoded once in Base64, you get: dZ80bIUEMyQ
5) Decoded a second time in Base64, you get: u�4l�3$
6) Decoded a third time using Hex, you get: C
7) Looking up Hexadecimal, C is 12. (From what I understood)
8) In Entry 12, you see Alex and Brian (I think) during the distortion, with Sarah (I think) behind the camera.


Now,as for the first coded tweet, I'm not sure what that could be leading to. Only thing I could think of pertains to the typing video people keep talking about. Typing may be a way to talk with your hands, but so is using signs for Sign Language. This bit, I'm a bit shaky on putting any faith on.

[censura_umbra]

I can't believe this is still happening.

First about the twitter code that may not be relevant to this thread:

[LBfly]

Or perhaps he's telling Jay to type more on his twitter. Let us know what is going on. We should send him this video via twitter, he will reply if its the right answer.

I believe these tweets can also be a clue to solve the code at the end of the video. How can we relate keyboards to quadrants?

[Salty]

I think censura_umbra is right, these tweets are meant to be clues to solving the code in Quadrant and the solution has something to do with the way the letters and numbers are arranged on a keyboard. Like maybe if you shift them over a few keys it will spell out actual words. The question is how you're supposed to shift them. I don't think each line of the code is it's own word because they're so short, so it would probably just spell out a one or two word question. I think it's broken up in a way that you have to do something different to each line (e.g. shift the first line up x amount of keys, second line down x amount of keys, third line down and right, fourth line up and left, or something like that) but again I have no idea how exactly you'd move them around.

[censura_umbra]

I tried converting it to and from Dvorak style keyboards and got only gibberish. Maybe shifting them is the way to go.

Hi Twisted Puppet! Hi Marble Hornets! Hi Beidah! Let's do some MATH!

Every youtube video has an 11-digit base 64 code at the end of it (0-9, a-z, A-Z, /, +).

Which means that there are 73786976294838206464 unique possible youtube codes. That is quite a lot.

Now, the number of videos actually uploaded onto youtube is a little more difficult to pin down. They don't seem to actually keep track. So let's take a statistic from 2011 that said Youtube had 1 trillion views (http://www.jeffbullas.com/2012/05/23/35-mind-numbing-youtube-facts-figures-and-statistics-infographic/), and just for the sake of having a number, let's say that every one of those people watched a different video. 1 trillion videos. This will more than likely get a number of videos on Youtube much HIGHER than the actual number.

So, what is the chance that a random base 64 11-string code will actually pull up a working video on Youtube? Well, that's a one trillion in 73786976294838206464 chance, or roughly .000001355%. That's about 1 in a hundred million. And remember, I think 1 trillion videos is guessing quite a bit high. The actual chance is probably much lower.

You all are saying that a code on the official Twitter, which when decoded from base 64 (as another code in the same event) gives an 11 character string that has a 1 in 100, 000, 000 chance of even working on youtube, but instead leads to a video that happens to perfectly answer the question "how do hands talk," is some kind of crazy coincidence.

Maybe it is. What a delightful, unintentional red herring for Trosephim if this is the case! Nothing to get insulting or angry about.

But I think Occam's Razor would indicate that we have solved the meaning of the second code. Its meaning is to link us to the video. What we make of it can be discussed, but that video is meant to be linked to, and is meant to be viewed by us.

I'm sorry to participate in the derailment of the thread. I will also post this in the official twitter thread if people want to discuss it (but I also think that the two tweets and Quadrant are linked, so I don't think discussion of the Twitter codes is unwarranted here).
