That's what I meant, not that we solved it in under an hour. Smile Took us most of the day and a third person with a bigger brain than either of us. Hats off to you guys.

Damnit... Your flattery and compliments have just made me feel even more stupid than your revealing that you actually meant us and not yourselves and made my joke just... Ridiculous really.

ARG!! (literally) Sad lol

Edit: On topic again. I'm trying to reverse the code, look at it in ROT... Even checking out what missing letters could be etc; right now am stuck.

 		Noticing that there are fourteen letter groups in each set, except the last one, which has thirteen letters, I set the code up like this.
Code:
S W E O H _ R B _ W I T E O
O H , M I I E I I A N O _ W
M E _ E N N D L S I G _ K N
E R S T G C I E _ T _ B N


Reading the message from top to bottom gives...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
SOMEWHERE, SOMETHING INCREDIBILE IS WAITING TO BE KNOWN


I'm just lurking on this one, so I haven't emailed the solution to see what happens next.

Damn... Nice work!! Although you might want to spoiler the coding too cos I read that easily lol

Edit: Filled out the application with the answer. Got this @ the bottom.

 		I don't think that "code" can be spoilered, too.
I corrected a mistake in my typing; it's INCREDIBILE with an I.

 		I just signed up for the TIMM one.. but since that one's pretty stagnant for the moment i took look at this guy..

Pretty sure I decoded the message if anyone is interested.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

line up the code chunks under each other

SWEOH_RB_WITEO
OH,MIIEIIANO_W
ME_ENNDLSIG_KN
ERSTGCIE_T_BN.

then read top to bottom, left to right..

"Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known."



EDIT: damn.. slow typin'.. beat to the punch. good job.

I emailed, nothing back yet.

Edit: Either way sent it again w/ the additional I.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_header() in /home/content/j/a/y/jaybill/html/wp-content/themes/illuminosity/index.php on line 1


Hi everyone! Okay, first off, that's f@#kin' creepy. There's a few things I can say for sure:


  • Not it. I wish I came up with this. Seriously.
  • I had an absurdly popular website a few years back and "jaybill@jaybill.com" was very popular amongst spammers for a period of time. Long shot, but possible.
  • It ISN'T very likely a coincidence, but I would venture to guess that the person who put me on to this (a friend of mine via twitter - @nathanfries) is either the originator or knows who is. He won't admit as much if he is, though.
  • I am a php developer by trade and I agree that the error above does suggest that the account name used was "jaybill". I have no such account at godaddy (I do have an account under a different username at godaddy for domains/DNS, but not hosting - "jaybill" was taken when I signed up)


So does this make me Internet famous?

 		Leyton Stone, I suppose it depends if the extra I is a typo on their part, or some other kloo. Smile

 		I still don't get the first code with the number grids but I cant see the video either so that doesn't help.

But well done I was miles off.

 		Bruce, being as you're tagging along me ol' china.

Any chance of kicking up a Wiki for us before you disappear into the ether again? Or, some tipoids on how one can create one, and I'll kick it off?

Well to respond to your question. I may have made some silly comments on uF from time to time, but would I HONESTLY Ask you to make us a Wiki for an ARG in the thread of a different one? Wink

LOL. But seriously, okay that's cool. I just figured it best to get one in early b/c it strangles the resources when we suddenly find we've got way too much stuff, and desperately need a wiki you know?
