We do recommend reading a thread before posting. This (dots add up to phone number) has been suggested. Except the earlier suggestion got a different last digit. This is a new number, but it seems like the earlier suggestion (7655) is the correct one. Can you defend this one?

And did you try the phone number?

The number is 736-339-8687. I didn't call it yet but...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
if you believe what Kellerman was told in the show, it's not active anyway


I think we need to combine the previous code with the number to get something.

edit: Btw, it's not taking the new number and subtracting it from the first number. 239-246-xxxx is just some poor random soul in FL who has already been bothered once so please don't call it again.

It's not a phone number, it's my old friend, "phone code" for:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
RENDEZVOUS

Oooh..very clever. Of course now that means...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
there has to be a message as to where they are gonna meet.

Going back to the original code and applying the same technique doesn't get us any additional information. So perhaps there is a third message forthcoming?

Code & Website

It's Monday - and that means it's time for another Prison Break Code!

786-369-6468
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Using the same phonespell as before, we get a couple of different possibilities:

rundown got
rundown hot
rundown in?

sundown got
sundown hot
sundown in?

I kinda like the "sundown in ?" because that would give the message so far to be: 'rendezvous sundown in [location forthcoming]'. We'll have to wait and see if Sarah gets any other messages.


----

Michael also mentioned a website tonight where they could exchage messages. http://www.europeangoldfinch.net

There isn't much there now, but you can read a lot into the posts if you want. I'm very curious to see if they do anything with this site over the next few weeks.

code

There is only one possibility. Using the "phone numbers" as reference, you then use the number of dots in the original code to extract which letter to use.

For instance, the 7 corresponds to the first set of dots in the second line of code (this being the second phone number key). There are 4 dots, therefore you use the 4th letter in that group (S).

So far we have:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Rendezvous
Sundown Hot


Next one will probably start EL

We also have a website:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
http://europeangoldfinch.net/


In SC:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
http://www.fox.com/includes/s_code_remote.js


You'll notice a poster by the name of FISH40, his message on 3/18:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Bolshoi Booze 6/4
Bastimentos 7/4

For ref: you can see the pic of the BB tat HERE

I think Bastimentos is in Panama / haven't had much time to look it up

I like this show a lot, and am loving this latest turn of events. I hope it turns into something big.

Yeah me too...

If you look at the Bolshoi Booze tat upside down, the numbers are:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
32009 1045709


Add a couple of decimals:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
And you have coordinates.
This looks the closest as the other ways left me in the middle of the ocean and China. Wink

32.009 -104.5709

It's very close to the Mexico border, I don't think it has anything to do with the rendezvous with Sarah, as it's a different layer of the onion that goes like this.

Michael mentions website > forum posting at website by FISH40 mentions Bolshoi Booze > Bolshoi Booze tat upside down is 32009 1045709 > convert to coords to get location.

Seems ARGs are the new thing for TV show fad-vertising.

First ReGenesis and Push, then the onslaught of Alias, Kyle XY, Ocular Effect, Lost, and a couple in N&R (including the likes of Veronica Mars and Jericho.) Looks like we have a new trend.

This show's smart enough to warrant an ARG/Timewaster, and hopefully they figure out a good way to do it.

EDIT: Also, because I don't want to double post, wouldn't the two capital B's be the equivalents of 8? If they wanted us to equate the B's with 9's, they probably would have kept them lower cased.

EDITTED EDIT: Indeed, the image is of lowercase b's, my mistake. Though next time they shouldnt confuse people like that, what with the capital letter B's in the European Gold Finch and all.

Wow, I can't quite believe that Prison Break is hopping on the ARG-lite bandwagon!

The europeangoldfinch.net stuff is verrrry reminiscent of retrieversoftruth board in the LOST game.


And I guess we're supposed to believe that Sara is into cyphers and such enough to crack that code?

I also seriously doubt that. Although she could get to the solution by accident.

I think we should all hope that the detective doesn't catch any of that, because he WILL decode it for sure...

By the way, I can't get on fox.eprize.net which can be found in the *.js...is that the American Express Exclusive Preview thing?
