Some interesting things to note

[firefox]

interesting. could you pls post the relevant morse code to text translation.
i remember working on the number as morse code a long time ago, and i also got taversen (or a similar word) at one point, but i gave up. mind you i attacked it from the angle that it was all letters, and this hung me up. ill try it again with numbers, maybe you're onto something.

[thanks]

Well we basically did every possibly translation of morse code into letters or numbers, and then looked at what letters/numbers made the most sense. That is what we came up with using a morse code to English alphabet.

I don't even know where to start. The ever-elusive 'Thanks' and I have been collaborating pretty hard-core, trying to dig up something--anything, really--on what seems to be all the left behind clues. Take, for instance, the e-mails and error logs. What exactly makes all of these entries errors in the first place? The two error logs at gatehouse 24 seem to be just normal interactions, save for the fact that from the construction of the computer log, Fran Mendling had either poor pronunciation or a heavy/non-native accent. Unless it were typed text through a terminal type process, in which case Fran typed to fast and/or sloppy for her own good, and naturally had to be offed. Then, of course, there's the sub-sema code 24-digit number, which seems to be coinciding with "milestone 24" (project syzygy, which we're conviced is actually us to the "Them" of Perplex City, 24 hours mentioned from the Daemon 3ea5 in the e-mail response to Sente, etc.

And then there's an attempt at getting more from the hand-written text on the back of the postcard. We tried constructing a Huffman Tree starting from the paragraph and *including* Sente's signature, to see if we could make any sense of the resulting self-made binary. We tried converting it back to normal text and hex, no luck with either. Perhaps we'll take a run again without his signature. We tried incorporating this with the 24-digit number itself and it divided by 21, which turns out to be a whole number. (wondering why 21? That's how many faces of the cubes you can see in the academy symbol itself).

Also, why is there a very large academy symbol only in the low-res picture of the post-card, but nothing worth noting in the decent scan? Fix that. Seriously.

One last thing, perhaps a huge white rabbit. But believe me, this white rabbit is HOTT. The "Nascent Beston Scholarship" Makes an Anagram including both "Sente" and "Banach," who happens to be a rather large-scale old-school Polish Mathemetician who did a lot with topological.. uh, stuffs. Speaking of Topological, lets all go back to ye olde Hillbert Cube. Look into it, I'm getting tired of typing. The remaining letters can make stuff like "school prints" or "Corp hints loss." Coincidence? maybe. But after all those hours of trying, I'd like to think not.

And one last thing, Remember that 2210 on the card? Awfully similar to the 2251 in the ad. Maybe it was meant to be just close enough to make us look back at the old times for a good clue...

I also spent some time trying to turn the 24 digit code into text by doing a Numerical mod 10 (ten being 0) with both 2210 and 2251, then converting the new strings to text with simple substitutions and caesar shifts. but, alas, I can't even remember if I really finished. Cause holy crap that sucked. Seriously. I need sleep now.



Curse you, Cube. Curse you and your confusing, careless owners.
