The hexadecimal blocks still have me stumped, so I took another look at the rest of the video and copied down all the code blocks I could manage to read. Thought I'd share.

Each block of code has a symbol floating behind it.

Noticed something else today: Alannah Boyle has a symbol on her shoulder. Looks a bit like a rook.

Another find: the Braille morse code is as follows:

.- -... -... .- -... ..-.-...-...-.. -.. -...

...which translates out to this:

abbab ..-.-...-...-.. db

The long strip of code isn't valid morse code, which is why it appeared as a question mark in the original translation.

I'm in the process of going through the downloadable materials in search of a key for the codes. Apologies if this is old material, but does anyone else have these, or know what to make of them?

...More importantly, is anyone else even working on this ARG?

The key can be downloaded from the iDGi forums (I forget which thread, but it's pinned). I'm still in on this, I just don't know how to help with the codes (I've had no bright ideas).

Thanks for replying! I think I found it. You're talking about the cipher for the original 21 characters, right?

There are symbols on the JPG I linked that are not on the cipher, so that's why I was confused. But I also just noticed that these files were created back in January, so it's probably old news and can be disregarded.

I'm about ready to throw in the towel on these codes. I'm intrigued by them, but I don't even know how to begin deciphering them.

Yeah, they haven't so far given us a puzzle without the necessary clues to solve, so, if we've got nothing, then it's either insignificant or not-yet-solvable (IMHO).

I'm still here, but I was still upholding that I didn't think the binary and other stuff was really relevant. I'll admit it looks like nice things, but still I have a few points on why I think not, but I don't think I need to push that point.

You'll find this ARG to be really slow. As far as I know the game is being made along with the ARG. So I'm sure they have certain points where they decide they can release them. Besides that this thread will be pretty empty (Besides me posting about me posting about my posts on the other forum).

I'll probably respond to Alvarez sometime in the next few days. Though I don't know if we should expect a post anytime soon.

Thanks for the heads up, guys. Sorry for the impatience; puzzles have a tendency to grab my attention. I'll try to sit back a bit and relax until we get something new.

I'm ready to concede that most of the code in the video is probably gibberish, but those three hexadecimal blocks translate to something that almost makes sense -- or, at least, they were blocks of text that were deliberately encoded and placed, and I'm betting they'll come into play sooner or later.

As for the lack of unsolved puzzles, I totally see where you're coming from and was wondering about that myself. Aren't we still missing most of the x-846##99 coordinates for the Greenberg Device? Apologies if I missed something, I'm still trying to wrap my brain around this whole ARG. Embarassed

Have we head of this man before?

Exclamation I noticed somthing on the blog post happy new year
Quote:
We are lucky to be assisted by none other than David Schelter, a brilliant man who seems to possess an intuitive understanding of what our satellite does.
I have a lingering felling that we heard of him before on the other side, have we heard of this man before? If so then there are 2 possible explanations 1 david exisits in both demenshons 2 since we could project our conshinses in to Henry in the other demenshons then Henry must of sent david into our dimension the reverse way (David enters Henry when idgi1 is open then David will be kicked out into our dimeshon) if this is possible then any person from the other dimension will enter our dimension and ..... Exclamation Shocked Huston we have a problem.

@m62259: David Schelter is the CEO of Worldview Industries. There's one thing you must keep in mind. We're dealing with "parallel" universes. Basically (according to theory) universes that mimic ours in a way. Some say a new universe is made every time we make a decision or how we come out of situation. EX: In one universe you weren't born in the other you were the opposite sex etc.

Basically we have our own version of Schelter. He's a respected scientist but not yet CEO of Worldview yet. (Even though he does have an email account and there is a site for it!) So yeah.

Also something to mention I keep forgetting to post

A: A new file under the save folder for the IDGI1 site has popped up ever since we got the newest jump. It's called custid. I assume this corresponds with the bot we can speak with. So either what we're inputting is being recorded or it's distingushing users for some reason.

Also at you m62259 I'll edit this post soon about an email I sent to Vidal. it's basically I tell him why I want Henry destroyed. It actually corresponds with what you were saying in a way.

A couple weeks back, I sent Vidal an email with the hexadecimal translations and asked if he could make any sense of them. Here is his reply.

Quote:
Hello sir!

I am so sorry it's taken me this long to reply. I took a few days off to be with my family and of course when I came back, there was quite a huge backlog of emails to get through.

I wish I could tell you much more but we're just as stumped on the majority of the codes. We know without a doubt that there is something to it that we're just not seeing (there's just too many coincidences like the fact it's 21 lines and the fact that the braille DID decode a little more easily). There is no question in our mind - but I think we're simply missing a step or two. We were hoping someone from the public would be able to figure it out for us, but so far you've gotten the farthest I've seen.

We managed to decode the braille bit through a two-step process of turning it first into Morse code, and then doing a simple letter-to-number substitution. We believe if THIS is a two-step process, than the other codes are most likely the same. But so far... we've been stumped.

As for the braille (you may have already got this) - in the end it translates to a date: ABBAB?DB = 12/21/2042. We ASSUME that because there is no letter possible to represent 0 with this cypher... that the "?" is in fact a 0. So we're looking at yet another date, for a purpose as yet unknown.

The only connection between all the dates that we can see is that they are all on a Winter Solstice. We first received this clip on the Winter Solstice of 2011 (in both worlds)... the date on the video itself is the Winter Solstice of 2037... and now this braille date is Winter Solstice of 2042. Clearly this is not a coincidence.

I suppose that's all I've got! Welcome to the team my friend and if you manage to decode anything else or just generally want to discuss anything at all... I'm all ears Smile I just maaaay have trouble answering right away!

-Vidal



What I'm getting from this is that the hexadecimal code does have a meaning that we can crack, and that it's likely to be a two-step decoding process, but I'm not sure where to go from there. I'm going to revisit the codes some more this week.

The braille translation is a nice handout, though. I hadn't even consider that it might be a date. Might send Vidal the other code snippets we've found, too, and see if that lands us with more hints or guidance.

Well I know that I've put it through every cipher tool in Rumkin. (Even the modified vignere that uses numbers instead of words.) Sadly nothing came from it.

Okay. Responded to both Henry and Alvarez.

I went with a more needle-ish approach with Henry (Jack). So we'll see how that goes.

Yeah, third post, but I might as well point out the post on the forums from Henry.

Seems we're supposed to ask him about the message. Also it seems the 21 things we got are identifications of a sort for each brain. Right now it would see each one corresponds with the number given 1= Brain 1 etc.

EDIT: Posted. If you guys have any questions you would like me to pose then please tell me right away!

EDIT 2: I feel like I know how to decode the messages now. But it's not working out.
