I've been with it the entire time... didn't understand it... but I was here... and I said Ehsan because you were the one to think of a pattern and put it to use... although I will say that you people are an amazing bunch of people that all deserve.... a really big... something... I'm not quite sure, but something none the less...

The attached Excel sheet shows the pattern if you want to see how the u/p combos were found..

/console is still unknown.. maybe there's a mistake somewhere..

Wow - I'm seriously impressed. Well done to everyone who worked on this; I wish I could count myself among you, but I had to lie down for a moment or two every time I looked at this thread... You can all count yourselves as Virgil's equeals (and I mean that in a good way)

3D words - partial summary

Hello,
after looking at http://deaddrop.us/wiki/index.php/EvilCube , I noticed that if you consider rot-22 (and not rot-23) the "good" ROT for "misery", then all the ROT numbers are unique and could be used to reorder the pages (the original pages or the deciphered ones), maybe another word will then appear vertically? Or, alternatively, has a word search with the computer already been done if you use the original ordering of the pages, but use the decrypted/ROTed versions? So, all in all, three different vertical/diagonal wordsearches?

Since this isn't totally solved, and I'm beginning to think those error messages aren't going to yield very much, the obvious place to look for the remaining two user/pass combos is back inside this Evil Cube.

I have two ideas I'd like to see tried out, but I can't run helper's program, which is the fastest way to do these things:

1) Rot the whole cube 25 times, +1, ... +25, and see if any vertical words appear(through layers, or along long diagonals). I have the files for each layer rot'ed already if anyone wants them.

2) Rot each layer specifically according to the ROT-# of the unique word, and then look for vertical words. I.e., Rot layers 1-20 by:

Yeah, looks like the cube isn't done yet (per the 6/13 virgil rant) - http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=166412#166412
