Well, listening to it a bunch of times, I hear something close to:

"Erich kept a decent or slight animosity to innocent who had managed to ruin the magic stomach. Take a minute, will you, and rest on one (or time), to prove one two thirteen time times seventy seven hundred and seven."

I don't think it's quite right though.

ETA:

Assuming these transcriptions are at least halfway right, we can start looking at the meaning of this.

I'm thinking that the innocent who ruined the magic stomach is referring to the student who punched Houdini in the stomach and eventually caused his death. Or it might be pointing at pope Innocenti.

Oi, doublepost! Twisted Evil

I just thought I'd tell you that I have updated the "what we have so far"-list on page two with the latest finds. Of course there is the wiki, but this is more of a list and to the point. Smile

I tried watching the streaming episodes for the freeze frames of Ashton holding up the signs, but I saw nary a one. Is it something that only goes out in the broadcast or am I just missing it on the streaming episodes?

 New Reversed Audio

Hi there, I've extracted the audio from the new video found and slightly speeded it up. It seems clearer but I'm still having trouble making it out. But I'm hearing what sounds like 'John Lennon' 'wrestle or wrestler' ... I'll keep listening until I start talking like a computer-generated voice myself. Any new ideas?

It says:

DerekFB
Animosity2
Hatrabbit
JohnLennon2
Pantera77
Magicstomach
Wrestler93
KChasm
Sn0wman7

maybe another one or two in there.

They are the names of apparently a few of us, the best sleuths over at 401wtf!

Yeah. That's extremely lame. More puzzles, more plotline, less shout outs.

I would think it also means don't post over there unless its something you want the show's creators to see. They read it and I'm sure posting there as well.

well i found a link to here on that site so apparently no place is safe to talk about it

unless....

maybe if we start a new website that looks like its all about hay-baling and livestock castration nobody will know we're secretly discussing the mysteries behind 401!


quick sombody create that website, Ashton Kutcher won't see this one coming!

unless he sees this

then were just screwed

Wait, that list is of people from here? I thought it might be more clues...

Wikipedia states it's a puzzle, and the "HOLY SHIT CRABS ARE COMING OUT OF MY STOMACH" picture is from one of the Room 401 episodes.

Wikipedia isnt always right

Edit : one thing to note. I rewatched that newer version of the reverse situp video again. Anyone notice that they blur out everything but the face of the personal trainer using that spin effect? Doesn't that guy kinda look like the avatar of the guy who runs 401wtf? If that is so and taken into a larger context of the audio clue (401WTF member names) and the name of the file itself (within you), it might be the next timer is buried within 401WTF itself.

Edit :Also, does it not strike you as a little odd that DerekFB actually bought the domain name of 401wtf.com to use as a forwarder? Not just for one, but two years. Strange for someone just playing along with the game. Add in the fact that the domain was purchased via Domains by Proxy and that he's not been sued into the ground by Viacom for posting ever single stunt from the show tagged with his website. Now the clues call out members of the forum and the last video says look inside?

This all seems to support the theory that the next countdown timer lies within 401WTF or at very least, a clue to the next site is there.

More notes on the subject

The title for the situps video is "s1t0p5875," Which looks a lot like "situps 875." What could 875 mean, though?

Uberg, I also think it's a puzzle because no characters, except for situps guy and crab-bursty guy, have appeared, and we're not solving an "hay guys my gf got kidnapped by evil cultists/terrorists/monsters", it's something about Houdini.

As for the Houdini in cuffs one, try using different colors, might do something.
