If Nathan wants to video blog, maybe we should mention it to Annie. She specifically brought up the blog with video in her email, at least to me.

She put a link to the blog in all the recruitment emails - but if the CEO (George) says "no video blog", then I don't think HR has any say in the matter Smile

don't know what you guys have discussed in chat but here is a few things that might help.

  • 1.) Eliza's twitter with the word KNOW missing.
  • 2. )Nate's blog has the word NO four times -- No is a NEGATIVE ANSWER
    Quote:
    No beer. No music. No video. No opinions

  • 3.) Eliza uses the word VISIONARY in her last twiter.
  • 4.) The tag line is "Reach the Future"

could the latest puzzle have something to do with "Know the Future" or "No Future?"

I haven't looked into it any farther than this, been trying to catch up on the HETFET (Hellboy II Viral/Arg). I know he asked us to email a word to him, has anyone come up with anything that is/might be his email and what the word is? I know four has been suggested as the word.

I also laid out the phrases like this, not that it helped anything.
Code:
LETS      COUNT  FIFTEEN THIRTY    THREE   DIVIDED  BY          NEGATIVE ANSWER
FISHING   SALMON IN      THE       DEVOUT  YELLOW   HIDEOUT     AT       NIGHT
DRIFTWOOD BEACH  IS      MY        PENPALS FAVORITE DESTINATION FOR      REST
KEYS      REACH  SECRETS BOUNTIFUL REPEATS

I see a few people have found this, but I didn't see it till I found it just now so I don't know if its been posted here, by Jay, Nates cubical pal seems to have a youtube account with a video ripping on Nate and Eliza.

Looks like there are some pictures in the video that arn't anywhere else.

This may be way off..but could the tones in the files be musical...and link to the music in the previous vid...that idea is based on an old CSI episode but worth a shot

This may or may not be a solve or partial sovle...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
by breaking up the numbers in pairs, and using the first number as word count , and second as letter count. I can make four words from each recording. 1. CEDAR 2. YOUNG 3. SHADE 4. CHALK. The fourth letter in each word anagrams to LAND, but no clue if that's what we are looking for.


* the above answer for number one, only works if you make thirty-three one word, and if the last 2 numbers are 49 not 48.

taking what enaxor gave us in chat, i'll elaborate on how that was reached, then give my ultimate solution:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
213 555 8148
LETS COUNT FIFTEEN THIRTYTHREE DIVIDED BY NEGATIVE ANSWER
2,1 = C - COUNT
3,5 = E - FIFTEEN
5,5 = D - DIVIDED
8,1 = A - ANSWER
4,8 = H - THIRTYTHREE
(assuming an error in the phone number, the word would be CEDAR, but it doesn't matter for the final answer below)

617 555 9117
FISHING SALMON IN THE DEVOUT YELLOW HIDEOUT AT NIGHT
6,1 = Y - YELLOW
7,5 = O - HIDEOUT
5,5 = U - DEVOUT
9,1 = N - NIGHT
1,7 = G - FISHING

932 555 1972
DRIFTWOOD BEACH IS MY PENPALS FAVORITE DESTINATION FOR REST
9,3 = S - REST
2,5 = H - BEACH
5,5 = A - PENPALS
1,9 = D - DRIFTWOOD
7,2 = E - DESTINATION

332 555 4911
KEYS REACH SECRETS BOUNTIFUL REPEATS
3,3 = C - SECRETS
2,5 = H - REACH
5,5 = A - REPEATS
4,9 = L - BOUNTIFUL
1,1 = K - KEYS

Given that, I leap to:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
CEDAH
YOUNG
SHADE
CHALK
taking the diagonal, or indexing
1,1 = C
2,2 = O
3,3 = A
4,4 = L
for the solution of COAL

and now to try emailing that somewhere...

Two items of note:
1) I emailed it over to randomknowledgeSPLATgmail.com, just to see. No immediate errors...

2) New Nate blog post, new source code puzzle:

Where do you get those letters from? For example, in chat we came up with Potsdam, near Berlin, for the first one.

In chat we figured out his method.

Post the coordinates on a satellite image map and the roofs of the buildings appear to be letters.

Kayberry - thanks for the solve (although we usually put those in Spoiler tags and explain the methodology when we post it).

And for those who did not have the benefit of being in chat and find this non-obvious, take the latitude from the first group, longitude from the second. So, first coordinate is (52.4012, 13.013109).

So, is that the word we are suppose to email to randomknowledge or is it a new blog for Nate. What have you all figured out?

Working on the second part now.

Sylvia. This is a secret message from Nate (in the source code of the "Speak no Evil" Monkey picture he posted this morning.

We're assuming he's telling us about another place to meet with him (that his boss's won't know about).

The first part with the latitude and longitude turned out to be coordinates that put the map dot flat on a building with an obvious letter shape: COEUS.

The second part of the message is being solved below.
