 		Don't forget spacing. What appears to be 3 letters at the start of a word, may actually be a single word, followed by the beginning of a new one.

Working with vowels. look for pairs that appear right next to each other. And then look for how often that pattern repeats and in what places. This is a weird cipher, but Troy's put us on a track that will help us solve it.

The difficulty is that so many words in the English language contain not only double vowels, but double letters in general. But that may yet lead us somewhere.

Keep in mind it's a double letter that can also come up in isolation. I'm running letter substitutions, but I keep getting tripped up because a letter that shows up by itself at the head of line 1 appears as a double at the head of line 4.

Just as a reminder, here's the code YET AGAIN:
Code:
ABCDEEF CBGHCDA GCIGFC AACIBI


As you can see, any substitution you make for "A" here must function as both a single and double.

 		Hey, someone googled the numbers and came up with this video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDZPV8HMsjg

Other people seems to have found it too, according to the comments. And there are some... interesting things. The description, the general distortion. Probably leads to nothing, but anyway...

 		That video is a dead end. It's not from an official MH source and the lady who made it says that it's basically just her being bored and wanting to do something. Moving on.

 		Yes it is. For clarification, I never posted it thinking "OMG GUYZ A NEW CHANNEL!". It's just one of those cosmic coincidences which, if gotten bigger, could have made a funny anecdote for the S3 DVDs.

 		I looked at the numbers and ordered them by which ones appeared most.

83: 6
79: 4
75: 3
68: 3
57: 3
72: 2
27: 2
24: 2
13: 1

(The ones that were tied I just ranked from highest to lowest) And then I assigned each pair a letter based on the letters that appear most commonly.

83: E
79: T
75: A
68: O
57: I
72: N
27: S
24: H
13: R

I didn't really get anything coherent but I noticed something.

TAESNNH
EAOREST

The last letters of "forest". If 75 = F then we'd have that word. ...This isn't really helpful but it was just something interesting i noticed. :/

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Either that, or Troy actually feels we need to solve this in order to get some important clue or foreshadowing, and he's giving genuine hints. OR he's giggling into his beer. It's hard to say.

 		Well if each number pair is supposed to represent two separate letters, how do we know when to use each letter? And how do we know which two letters each number is supposed to represent? If we went by the letter each single digit in the number represents we'd only have access to the first nine letters of the alphabet...

57= EG
13 = AC
24 = BD
72 = GB
etc... how can you make a coherent message out of letters arranged like that? Erg..

But the real problem I had is with the last word. It's not a cryptogram for any word in the English language (with the possible exception of "oopses", but I think we can agree that's NOT it). Unless, as the new twitter post pointed out, each number could be multiple letters.

Considering TTA often neglects spaces in his typing, I don't think we can assume that each line represents a single word to begin with.
