I was thinking phone number, but it doesn't appear to match any country codes. http://www.countrycallingcodes.com/Reverse-Lookup.php

Could the numbers translate to letters and the stars be spaces between words?

Thanks to @tgosnell for his quick work!

Just a quick highlight.

The call is 9 * 369 * 89362622

The *'s are odd. Maybe these are seperators for words. ElysiumEludes pointed out "Maybe the * seperates words and we are looking for a 3 word phrase, but jumbled. Assuming the first word is "A" (no 4 for I).

Maybe the *'s are a multiplication sign (* = X ). If that is the case,

9 X 369 X 89362622 = 296773267662.

I have a huge sheet of paper with all sorts of jumble wrote on it Wink

Hopefully it'll all work itself out!

Don't forget the file name ends in "395"

although since we have no 5s, not sure what to do with that....

369 is 9 * 41.

83962622 is not evenly divisible by 9 or 369.

Ah its a simple mistake with all these numbers.

With the 3 being before the 9 the new total is

9 x 369 x 839362622 = 309724807518

Having trouble reconciling the last two posts . . .

EmPuLSe is correct.

A Way Feedbunny?
A way Bodyfound?

I sure hope I am moving in the right direction at this point. Must go get beer to help with decoding! Smile

Nevermind my post 2787523267662 is the correct total

OK folks, just catching up now, glad you left me a sliver of this puzzle to work on! Dang real life getting in the way. Very Happy

Anyways, this idea was mentioned in Elliott's blog comments (originally by MarcusFenixDown), and I didn't see anything over here about it yet, but I think it's the right track so I'm going to reproduce it.

The numbers are as such:

9*369*839362622

Treating the "*" as the multiplication operator, you get:

9X369X839362622

Which could be grouped like this:

(9X3) 6 ( 9 X 8 ) 39362622

Now here's the key: one of the letters corresponding to 9 on the phone is "w". So the (9x3) could be "www".

Also, the ending: "2622"... corresponds to "cocc" on a phone... or more likely, "co.cc"

so we've got: www. 6 ( 9 X 8 ) 3936 co.cc

I think that's too much of a coincidence to overlook...

It's blank, but there's stuff in the source code

EDIT: I didn't find this, I saw that ARGonut had posted it at Elliot's blog
