Why do his recent blog posts seem much more deranged and certifiable than he appears on that YT video?

What are we supposed to be getting from all of this, or is this just an object lesson not to think too hard about the cube or it will melt your brain?

Okay, following Bertram down the rabbit hole:

Hi this is my first time on an arg, but I can help you on one thing here.

B's blog posts are kind of an enigma.
I've been wondering what he's trying to tell us when he uses terms like
"kiss" (Keep It Simple, Stupid.).
"forgot to take off the tinfoil" (tinfoil hat.).

On Bert's youtube and blog, he has been giving us hints as to what the number code is.

Help!!!

I'm new-ish to the forum, so I don't even know who I would ask, but we need help.

It looks like the game is depending on us convincing Bertram to talk with Cray. The way to get to Bertram is to break his code..... which we are currently unable to do.

Does anyone know anyone here at UF who might be able to identify what kind of code it is.

Here's the information about Bertram's code:

At the bottom of this blog:

http://resurrectthetruth.blogspot.com/2009/04/leak_21.html

there's a code

6289 3052 7582

He says it's an easy code. so much so that a child could break it
also he says..."Oh, and if you still haven't solved the code. Don't worry. Take your time. Despite the name, it won't kill you."

here's another puzzle using the same code

6884 6884 3958 3958 6307 6307

That's all we have so far.

Also, on his most recent YouTube video, Bertram points out that someone commented on his earlier YouTube video with a mysterious (i.e., incoherent) message that seemed to promise useful information. Bertram, being the gullible idiot that he is, agreed to meet with this guy, who has the unlikely YT username of leifnwoeifneiINOID. This seems highly likely to be an anagram or something, but I can't anything meaningful (or rather, there's too many possibilities). Needless to say, we have yet to get any kind of report from Bertram about what happened at this meeting, if anything. Rolling Eyes

Had a few thoughts on bertram's 'clues' and code.

In his blog he wrote "Concocted Peeved Irish Kith", which anagrams to: "Check the video description." Alas, not much help, but no longer a mystery.

For the numbers in his video descriptions, I though that it might be related to text messaging, since his comments about it being hazardous to health (mentioned in an earlier blog post) and that we should be thinking like we are the senders, not the receivers.

This leads me to think that it has something to do with predictive text technology like T9 or iTap. So far I haven't had any luck with iTap on my phone, but wonder if any of the other phone brands might have better luck.

Hmm, well, catching the train of thought from someone earlier on, the numbers correspond to genes. If you take the chromosome from each, you get:

11
X
10
A
A
N
N
D
D

That's a bit too somethingy to be non-somethingy, I think. It fits in with the 'health' comments.
This means the answer would be... err, 11x10 = 110 = 6 in binary. Dunno what the AANNDD means.

@roc3 The only trouble with T9 is that, from what I can find, it lacks a 0 key, unless you took that as a space. However, there was a lot of hype about phones causing brain cancer, and then scientists disproved it... so yeah, possibly. Looking at my phone right now Very Happy

Well earlier tonight we think figured out the answer to a little "joke" that Bertram posted in his blog a while back: http://resurrectthetruth.blogspot.com/2009/04/another-theory.html
