Well, it is at least possible that the puzzle is important to the plot, Troy and co were counting on us solving it in time, accidentally got themselves into the corner by making the puzzle way too hard and now are desperately trying to put us on the right track. Probably not the case, but possible.

If the code provides some kind of instruction or clues for Jay's next moves, then yes, it would be necessary to reveal it. The fact that Jay's twitter updates show him dedicating time and effort to this suggests that could well be the case.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The picture Troy uploaded on his twitter account some days ago showed Tim at the hospital... Im pretty sure they already recorded the new entry, just wondering if the delay is due to editing or because of the unsolved code.

I think the code is non essential to the story, but divulges something really important. Usually it doesn't matter if we solve it or not, but they seem to be really stressing this one. I think it could have something to do with Jessica considering her appearance in the video.

That was OOG. Of course they've recorded it, but officially making it part of the story is yet to be done.

I think a different approach is neede here...
Since there are exactly 26 numbers (or "pairs", if you will), it could be hypothesized that somehow they describe presence or even position of their respective letter in final message. Like here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ArzOlQ92suNndHphdEI2ZjEwZlJFV1liRVExYVhSMEE
(without the final message, obviously, I have no idea how to obtain it...)

I get why you guys think the code is the key to getting the new entry, but I think Troy has priorities, frankly. I think he prioritizes just getting out the next actual episode over any totheark/Twitter shenanigans. totheark has never been so integral to the plot that it delays the next entry, nor has fan interaction ever been that integral. I just think he think the actual entries, as a series, are more important to him. He's basically said stuff like that. I think this is just kinda trying to keep us amused while he edits the entry together, which we know from experience takes a while. I could be wrong, but I just don't see Troy pulling one of these ARG update things considering how MH usually works, especially considering the wait we've already gone through.

What if the first digit is the letter it represents, and the distance of the second letter from it on a number line is the second letter it represents? For example, 79, being G, and then 9, being two away positively is I, and with 83 being H and C?

"Maybe 75 and 72 don't follow the pattern. They're just a mirrored version of the ones that do?"

even mirrored, 72 doesn't follow the pattern. if these guys aren't used to running an ARG then i'm not sure they should be trying to give us "hints"

e: haha i beat him to the correction

Looks like Jay apologized to you, DemanusFlint.

Jay just corrected:

EDIT: interestingly enough, Jay used 57 instead of 75 when he corrected himself. He uses them interchangeably. Pretty sure 57 = 75 now.

I dont get his last tweet. How could they be a mirror of another pair? 83 is outta the pattern as well.

Edit: he corrected it, but 57 is in his pattern... didnt he mean 75?

Earlier I suggested a discrepancy between his previous hints regarding 57/75.
Now he clarifies and gives us another hint!

Fan interaction indeed seems to be integral to MH on some level, and I still think this code *needs* to be solved - although you made fair points to the contrary above.
