We already had 9, 5 and 4, and the most recent email had case number 4965, so we put the pieces together.

I think the various Valarauko numbers were leading us to calling 4965. There is an extensive audio file from James Eagler. Mentions message in a bottle. I figured out to go to the ridiculousfishing.com (what the email registration leads to). And there is a message in a bottle. I checked source code and found a wav file.

Dial 4965 and listen to messages. Mentions message in a bottle and thats front and center on the ridiculousfishing.com website. Look for a hidden message eh? Source code and found two things. Take a look.

What did you find? I don't see it.

One of the devs gave a hint that there's more to find:

You're right, it's not the lost and found. We're missing one extension.

Can't be that many possibilities. If my algebra isn't too rusty, like 9x3x2x1? 54 numbers we need to try if it's her email password in the valaraukoSPLATbyrdr.com format

I suspect that Suzanne's final message is a phone extension including the 9, 4, and 5 that we already discovered.

Since I thought we found them in that order, I tried calling all ten 945* numbers and got no results.

The official press release was sent on 2/29/2013, an invalid date. There's a clue there somewhere!

I was looking at http://byrdr.com/volumes/users/WJEagler/Desktop/Screen%20Shot%202010-01-31%20at%2011.46.46%20AM.gif and this http://byrdr.com/volumes/users/WJEagler/Desktop/yumtum.txt

Googled fish and went to images, first thing is the number of pictures in a row is different and the order is wrong. I was able to locate the pic w the watermark, but nothing really there.

As far as the recipe IDK what to make of that, I tried the line w/ 4 numbers 1215, and backwards. no luck.

Hey so Ridiculous Fishing is now available on IOS:

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ridiculous-fishing-tale-redemption/id601831815?l=nl&ls=1&mt=8

I also strongly suspect there's something way down deep in the ocean in the gamemaker version of fishing but I haven't been able to get past ~120 meters. >: (

Solved it!
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The impossible date from the press release (see above) resolves to 0301, which then gives us the last number, 8. Put all 4 numbers together to get 4985, the final message of Suzanne.

There is something way down in the IoS version too. And some hidden fish I think.
