And, given the "SSE" that I can see in the picture, I would assume that that is the book that we are looking at (The Odyssey).

Damn it you just beat me to it ItWasntMeISwear I was just about to say that!!! But any way this is all starting to fit together. Odyseus had to batter with the sun and the wind, (don't remember snow) He was known for his power and hope not to mention all the wemon he slept with along the way could easilly be the 18 lovers.

Got an email from mi.5548@gmail

New code,

"The code will suffice.

6355824656668173654263114466645181744673745156_8354557564667346

Since this is probably impossible to decode without any help, I will give you these very important nudges in the right direction:

The underscore represents an underscore, and movement in two directions is key in this cipher."

Delusional, it's a bit late, but I do confirm the email address.

Also, I'm about to go do this now. Remember the previous code that I solved, wherein each number can represent one of two letters? Going to try substituting those in and see what happens.

[Falafel]

I was thinking of that soon after I posted the code. But remember it said movement in two directions was key.

Well, we can be fairly sure that it's a literary quote.

[Falafel]

A literary quote with an underscore?

through rain, sun snow, 18? 18 wheeler?

parliament?

Ok, who is the smoking truckdriver here?

[Falafel]

So has anybody been working on cracking the code? It's been almost a day and we have a week of time to figure it out.

[DTPowell]

For what it's worth, mates. As it turns out, most of us were headed in the wrong direction with this.

[Falafel]

Science fiction novels, although many have a kind of brainwashed, failed utopia, what first came to my mind was 1984. Only vaguely similar, and hopefully we can get some more connections.

could Parliament be an animal like a dog?

I was thinking that this has something to do with some sort of grid, and that the numbers represent "how many up and how many across" to count. At first thought, I thought that since there is an 8 on the right side of the code and an 8 on the left side of the code, that there were 64 squares in the grid. I can't find anything for that though.

So, now I am lost, but feel that I might be heading in the right direction.

Also thinking that the "horizon" is a starting point from which to count. Still not sure where to go with that though. But, I am working on it.

Original thought:

I thought that the code was a virgenere, using the numbers on the right to tell me how many letters in the alphabet to count, the numbers on the left telling me how many letters backwards to count.

Came up with:

VVSYWUVUUUSZTXUVWYUXZZWWUUUWVZSZTWWUTXTWVZVU_HCEDEEGEFDFFGCDF.

Then using the right letters as the key and the left letters as the encryption, I would get an answer.

Got nothing from that ofcourse.

Added point: there are 46 numbers on the left side and 16 numbers on the right. Maybe someone else can tell me what that means, if anything.

EDIT: there are 64 squares on a chess board. Could this be "CheckMate"?

The blog was updated and now gives half the cipher.
