 		I dont think this has anything to do with the countdown anymore. I think we might be getting the launch puzzle. If we assume (just for sake of this line of thought) that the "g r y" is "who" and with the decryptions of this last source (again just an assumption they are correct), we are getting questions.

As for the 2 of you getting messaged this time, we will be left down to 1 the next time and that 1 will probably have what we need to tie it all together

 		the source is changing more than once a day now--

EDIT: IT ONLY CHANGED TWICE YESTERDAY ON DAY "3" OF THE COUNTDOWN

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
<!-- barahanabira [1, 2, 3, 4, 6] -->


edit: i did a search on this and came up with this
image
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
http://www3.starcat.ne.jp/~shibuya/index/barahanabira.jpg
and lots of info on rose petal extract on commercial japanese sites


also a little bit on the "rose petals" "The rose is perhaps one of the most powerful symbols in the metaphysical world. It is also one of the most accessible tools that can be used for everyday magic. An ancient custom is to sprinkle the bed of newly weds with rose petals to sweeten the initial carnal relations. In ancient alchemical formulas the red rose is used as a masculine principle and the rose represents the feminine or receptive principle. The combination of the two (perhaps growing the two bushes intertwined in the garden) represents harmony and unity." (dunno if related but maybe)

 		I saw that same link for the pic. I think it could be a viable possibility, along with the post that was deleted. Please repost, you have a good option to explore.

I started wondering about the numbers. I first started researching Calculus, to no avail. Upon doing a search of "[1, 2, 3, 4, 6]" I came across a lot of listings about braille. It seems 1-2-3-4-6 in braille is "and". Not sure if it might work out or not, as we arent quite sure what this will all end up being, but I wanted to post it for possibility unless and until we can find something more substantial that makes more sense. I'll continue searching out the numbers.

 		I took that post off because i realized i made an error. i spelled it habira instead of hanabira. As bara habira it meant destroy rejoice in Arabic. As bara hanabira it means rose petal in japanese.

 		Probably nothing, but if you take the 1-2-3-4-6th letters of barahanabira and ROT 13 them, you get ONEnn. Again, new to this thread and the only reason it stuck out (however far fetched due to the "nn" ) is that I know y'all were looking for numbers?

 		ok, found something to make possible sense out of the last source.

The actual flower of a rose has only 5 petals, which could explain [1, 2, 3, 4, 6]. The 5 is missing.

You can read more here: Link

Sure. I noticed 5 missing too... but we were looking for 5? I thought the countdown was on 3........ Wink

unless
The twist in this is that the countdown stopped and reversed on us. Could be.

Erm, probably dumb question, but how does one IRC? Or is it where does one? And did you ever figure out how to set up a Wiki?

Greetz back,

MC

EDIT: I checked the mIRC webpage, but still feel a bit lost. *hangs head in shame*

EDIT: I'm confused. Isn't the count on two? If so, the "III" part of that uncracked code might be roman numerals. Still trying to Google a sensible answer to the rose petal code. Need-more-coffee.

 		IRC can be accessed either here or using your favourite client (mIRC, trillian etc.) and pointing it at irc.chat-solutions.org:6667

If you use the java applet (click the above link), just change the channel to qu13e and you're 'nickname' to whatever you wish to be called when you enter.

Then click the arrow at the bottom of the applet.

 		our daily source with a big change:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
<!-- Tick, tock, 13 o'clock -->
<!-- our hour's hand's been amputated. -->

<!-- When the other falls, darkness calls -->
<!-- for the end of the wait that QU13E created. -->

that QU13E created.


Looks to me its a person (or artifical inteligence but lets not go there Wink ). Or was this already established?

After 13 O'clock it starts... tomorrow already?
