Hey Nathan!
I'm in Cheltenham too... what do you mean by 'Cheltenham Brits'? And why aren't I included?
But yeah, numbers have been found, the inquire today has been known of for some time now and.. yeah.
Welcome to the experience.
Obes.

[UPDATE] persephone.thf.org changed As of 2:30:51 PM GMT, persephone.thehansofoundation.org has been changed to be initially blank. Once the source is viewed, the following is commented:
<!-- this page left intentionally empty -->
Edit - merged with main Persephone site thread since there really wasn't much to discuss for this update - celina63

New numbers:
106 103 157 162 235 45 122 202 39 122 26 39 162 218 222 151 42 39 142 87 168 186
translates to
jgØóÙ-z-'z 'ó+Ìù*'ÄW¿¦
Not quite sure what to do with this yet - must be something besides ASCII

Not sure about all of it, but I see an instruction to "do not rely on" something in there.

Removing the letters for "do not rely on" leaves

Removing the letters for "do not rely on just me" leaves
"hanso" is in there as well, but taking that out too doesn't seem to leave much;

From a esoneho leoug you can extract:
use logon
leaving just

I think it would be safe to assume that there are two different things to be gained from this message.
Something = something
and Something = Something.
You know?

I don't think so. Base-64 almost always ends with equals signs.

I'm not sure.. given the unix underpinnings here, I'm thinking that the '==' is in the regex sense, meaning simply 'equals'
So, something along the lines of "do not rely on just me use logon==eehoa" seems to work. I've tried http://www.letyourcompassguideyou.com/usr/eehoa and a few varients, but nothing so far. I'm guessing we need to move around the letters in 'eehoa' to find another directory..
Seems like a lot of vowels to make a las name there though.. I guess we could just try all possible combinations and see if anything hits.

Question:
There are 22 numbers but 30 characters (not counting the 2 =). Is this par for the course when translating to base 64?
