Alright. Here they are. Came in a static bag that you'd put hardware in.

Note that my scanner picked up the number sheet odd. Bold face is blue, and italicized face is red.


Did he introduce himself?

He gave no name, no personal info

*That's* not a surprise, we're used to getting a cryptic lack of information! Wink

Clarification on the grid - are all the lines alternating red and blue?

As far as the griddler is concerned:

We know that the translation of the bold, blue text at the bottom of the page tells us there are 41 rows... while the red, italicized text tells us we have 41 columns. So the blue, bold strings of numbers = rows; and the red, italicized strings of numbers = columns.

There are two pages, each with 41 strings of blue and 41 strings of red. Do we think we're looking at two different pictures?

Either that, or we;re supposed to alternate one from the first column and one from the second (ie: first row would be 7 blue, 1 red, 1 blue, 1 red, etc)

I wish that someone - say, just for shits and giggles The Watcher, would post the numbers in an electronic format. I can build a tool to do this stuff, but the data entry is going to kill whatever time I have to dedicate to it

13lights.org is now updated; nothing there at the moment except the phrase "Contact successful", which links to the map.

Hopefully we'll get another video, or clue of some sort, posted soon.

Not sure whether I'm approaching this in the correct way, at all.

That said, here's my best interpretation of a pencil and paper version of Numbers1


Let me work on that a little more. :oops
Okay: This should be more accurate.

I'm approaching it the same way... though you went left to right across the columns of numbers, while I went down each one. Now looking at it, yours makes more sense. Confused

At least I didn't get too far

Looks like it's a QR Code:

It says:

I'm not going to even bother with the 2nd one.

Seriously, whats the point of doing these puzzles that take hours and hard work if all they do is give us information they already gave us without a damn puzzle??

also I was looking at the numbers and I cant seem to quite figure out how you got that image. I see 7 black across and 2 whites, but none of the first numbers given are 7 2

Wow. How did you solve that? I only found the three boxes in the corner and than gave up. Too many possibilities. Did you use a solver?

Only the black squares are represented by a number.
Whitespace can be one or more squares.
There are no references to the white squares, at all.

So, the first line is really: 7, ?, 1, ? 3, ?, 4, ?, 6, ?, 7

Where each of the "?"'s represents an unknown group of white squares in succession.

I did end up using the solver enaxor posted earlier in the thread (After much guessing and getting nowhere).

@&$#^&!!!

Another unnecessary griddler. Enjoyable, but still... let them be useful.

And just because I spent the afternoon doing this, here's mine- in blue.
