It took a little digging through the Linn County Park website, but I found the park map. It's a tiny park, unless we want him to go into the area beyond the road to the east; so assuming that's where we're sending him it shouldn't be that hard.

Still don't get that pseudo hex code from Steve's email though. Here are some random ideas I've been researching that the code could represent. None of them led me anywhere, but they might spark an idea for someone else.

- map coordinates (for the kind of maps with letters and numbers on the edge)
- chess board squares (the way chess games are recorded; maybe with the alphabet overlaid on the board?)
- guitar chords

Yeah, I've spent the last hour playing with the cipher to no avail...

Ive tried, changing it into decimal maybe for a long/lat, no luck...

Ive tried converting to decimal in halfs, backwards etc.. no luck...

Its CLEARLY hex once you convert it... but what the hex represents is beyond me.. there isnt enough clues... there is an email that just gives the code.. thats it... but if steve is helping us why wouldnt he give more detail?

E4A6D8A4D6E8D5E6A8A4D6E8 <-- Hex after using advanced cypher
89272838800200220000 <-- Decimal representation

Has anyone spoken with Steve lately? Nobou, weren't you asking if you could get some answers from him? Has he replied?

Hi, just poking my head in here, I've been casually lurking this one but I just noticed that the sequence A4D6E8 shows up twice in this code. So maybe it's meant to be broken up like so:

E4A6D8 A4D6E8 D5E6A8 A4D6E8 which would give 14984920 10802920 14018216 10802920 in decimal

or it could be E4 A6 D8 A4 etc. which would give 228 166 216 164 214 232 213 230 168 164 214 232. This was probably said before, but I don't remember seeing the first possibility mentioned. Anyway it's interesting that the numbers in the hex are so similar, definitely some kind of pattern there - only A, D, E in the letters, and 4,6,8 with one 5 thrown in.

See, I'm not sure. If you started with a decimal or binary number, the chances of the hex equivalent being a string of letter-number-letter-number all the way through like that are really tiny. Which leads me to believe each pair is significant.

Also, as Sylvia pointed out earlier, if you split 24 digits into groups of 6, each group has one instance of E, A and D. I can't think what coordinate or code system would use those three letters though.

Sylvia's arrangement:

Code:
E A D
4 6 8

A D E
4 6 8

D E A
5 6 8

A D E
4 6 8

It's from an email miki_38x1 got on Wednesday:

EDIT: Just got this email from Steve. Since I don't have that advanced cypher program (accursed mac) can someone decode it for me?

We ran it through Advanced Cypher, and ended up with the hex-looking code mentioned above.
