Oh, just speculating out loud how the new 16x16 cells might fit in with the code revealed back on page 39.

 		Jennifer updated her Facebook status - and it's a doozy:

Quote:
RXhpc3RlbmNlIGlzIElkZW50aXR5LCBDb25zY2lvdXNuZXNzIGlzIElkZW50aWZpY2F0aW9uLg


"She" also wrote this same message on Gibson's FB page.

Ideas?

Think it might be an encryption password for a router/firewall?

EDIT: Jennifer's status is 74 characters. Did a little digging and barcodes are capable of handling up to 74 characters. Think it could be the translation of the barcodes that have been seen on those ID badges?

 		Ayn Rand:

Quote:
To exist is to be something, as distinguished from the nothing of nonexistence, it is to be an entity of a specific nature made of specific attributes. Centuries ago, the man who was—no matter what his errors —the greatest of your philosophers, has stated the formula defining the concept of existence and the rule of all knowledge: A is A. A thing is itself. You have never grasped the meaning of his statement. I am here to complete it: Existence is Identity, Consciousness is Identification.


My head hurts.

Got this sent to me as the response to my query earlier. No idea what's going on with it, doesn't decode in Base64 and my plate is beyond full right now - feel free to investigate it for me Razz

*EDIT* 350! But not among pastries... Sad

It does Base64 decode:

Why ask useless questions? How deep is the ocean? How high is the sky?


ETA it's more Ayn Rand, this time from Atlas Shrugged. Quote continues "Who is John Galt?"

ETA 2 - which gives us yet another login

ETA 3 - from the sent mail, sounds like Jacob is a bit more like Joshua's mentally challenged twin. <spec>I'm beginning to wonder if Deceptech is using the DICOM laser to digitize a person to take over for Jacob in a Turing test, a sort of digital Turk if you will.</spec>

Sad , I totally tried Base64! It kept telling me "Invalid length for a Base-64 char array." I call shenanigans!

I'll draft a response tomorrow - don't worry, it will be Base-64'd. And I'll be sure to make it humorous.

 		For whatever reason, Jennifer finally decided to add me as a friend. And sent the following message:

 		So taking those emails in galt's box, I'd say Gil/Gib did get contacted by Jacob.

 		Uh-oh, looks like Gibson is on the run!
Three questions:

  1. Why was Gibson the key for the second layer of the puzzle?
  2. When we get all of the cards together and layer them on top of each other, I assume we take 32 lots of 8 chevrons and group them together, then use them as the key?
  3. And on that note, has anyone received a different card yet? o_O


EDIT: So, Gibson wasn't the one who defaced the site? Maybe it was Jessica, then? Very HappyVery HappyVery Happy
