 		I am currently using http://www.mi.uib.no/~ingeke/anagram/index_eng.html and excluding any words that seem unlikely. this could take a while. anyone got any better methods?

Correct! I've been going off of EvilGenius's post on the first page which has exactly that.

Is there a way to exclude multiple words?


Fuseunderground: I know your last two were probably jokes, but you had an extra "r" in each of them. Just wanted to make sure you knew that before you wasted time with the wrong letters.

Thanks, I hadn't noticed.
So those EvilGenius letters are definitely correct?

 		How dare you doubt the EvilGenius!?! Actually, please do, I tend to make mistakes with stuff like this. That being said, at least I didn't have to wrap the letters . . .

I'm similarly of the mindset that the be and ks (and cat) business are a clue to the large block of text which is probably a quotation of some sort. That one person did this quickly I take as a clue as well.

the third bit does anagram to: "anagram primes are high stand" which of use to no one Wink

 		Could the BE relate to the guest architect of this puzzle, and forum member Brian Enigma?

I didn't realize he was the guest author. in that case I would think so, by means of a signature if nothing else. Is he involved with a Kim person? Does he have a cat? I recall that he has a website that I looked at once upon a time . . .

 		Summary so far. I have had no hand in getting this far, but I thought it a good idea to see everything in one place:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The Primer puzzle card contains five long numbers. It seems that the task is to find the prime factors of these numbers and then decode them each to a message. To decode, 2 is a space, 3 is A, 5 is B, 7 is C, 11 is D and so on. The catch is that you can't tell what order the numbers are in. The second catch with the longest number is that the prime factors extend beyond the first 27 primes. Nevertheless, the first three numbers have been solved.

First number - 4293499561
Deconds to EIMPRR
Anagrams to PRIMER

Second number - 4918667
Decodes to ESTT
Anagrams to TEST

Third number - 2240348582964699351859483091577187440
Decodes to four spaces and AABEEEEEHIMMNNPRRRRSSTUW
Anagrams to PRIME NUMBERS ARE THE ANSWER

Fourth number - 164990462647551511589599262129081060112
Decodes to four spaces and AAAAADEEGGHHIIMMNNPRRRSSTTT
Anagrams to - not known

Fifth number - 8577584129109097887023387461941996431858554496
8318734217971798842263771174966898974462083362556640190028
7017962041449669898506168327073084976047836385373969536085
7802221189398757162415613543750682732794408212414737536093
88169604213151295378292736000
Decodes to 32 spaces and AAAAAAAAAAAAABBBCCDDDDEEEEEEEEEE
EEEEEEFFFGGGHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKLLLLLLMMMMMMMMNNNNOOO
OOOPPPPPPRRRRRRRRRRSSSSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTUUUUUUU
VWYYYYY plus Z+1, Z+2, Z+2, Z+2, Z+3, Z+3, Z+4, Z+5
The last eight characters could be space, AAABBCD, or ABBBCCDE or 12223345 or something else entirely
Anagrams to - not known (except by omitchell, presumably)

 		Apologies for not posting sooner.

The solution is:-
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

1. test
2. prime numbers are the answer
3. the hardest part is anagramming

 		Nothing yet.
I assume that it may be related to the hunt for the cube?

 		Thanks, omitchell! That was unexpected. I didn't realise that the answer format just asked for decodes 2, 3 and 4, not having the card.

Perhaps the last decode is just a message from Brian Enigma to his girlfriend?
