Not a Math-y person but...tried base 13 and base 16 (hex) without any luck. Can't really be base 13 considering all the e's and f's. Unless only that last line is base 13.

0000000
0000010
0000020
0000030
0000040
0000013

Still...converting the last line only in base 13 does not seem to help. I could just be overlooking something, though.

It says second location found. So I guess we're trying to confirm what this second location actually is.

I'm working on base-13 conversions at the moment, but am coming up with gibberish. So far. Once I've made a little more progress, I'll post what I've got.

 		Is that timer set to like 5 days by hours or am I an idiot?

*edit* I'm an idiot.

It's counting down to Tuesday, 5 p.m. eastern, 2 p.m. pacific

I shot off an e-mail, and got this:

Quote:
42 hours will pass quickly. What can I do in that time to ensure I'll be able to wake him?

-------------------------
Instruction simple.
42 Hours.
Speak unto me.
Ask anything.

It begins.


So... fire away.

2008-7-22 16:00:00 GMT-05:00 according to the source. GMT -5 is CDT if that tells us anything, META-wise.

 		It might mean nothing but here are the highlighted letters...and a question mark:

I S B B A ? Y T I T

Something else I noticed. Speak unto me. The first letters of this phrase is "SUM". I should read this thread...it looks interesting.

 		Are we asking 1 Q per email, or putting a ton of Q's in one email?

I asked one question. Haven't got a response yet. Granted it was a pretty "noobish" question to ask.

 		I got the response to my first e-mail, telling me to ask anything, within minutes. So I sent another immediately, with 3 questions, but have heard nothing yet.

And I'm stumped on the latest puzzle Confused

That one's going in the tools folder right now. Thanks. I've tried all kinds of stuff with the hex/base13 and have gotten absolutely nowhere. I'm not sure it's important. So far we've been led from one site to the next without ever really having a reason for that to happen. Sometimes we solve something and the current site changes, sometimes we don't and the current site changes. I'm having no luck with Mr. Black either...
