 		if we could find it lol


Added: Maybe the key from the dial tones is the Flickr account?

ADDED: Been trying to enhance the piece of paper from the video, not having any luck. So far it just turns to blurry mush in my CS4. Any ideas?

was for the substitution cipher to find the blog?

You are correct.
The e-mail that had the coded name of the blogspot account was a simple substitution where L=A, K=B, J=C etc.
Those strings (eg. "LKJHG") are found in order on a keyboard, but that appears to be irrelevant. I didn't actually use that key to crack the coded message, but that does appears to be the key they used to encode it.


My bad, I'm getting well confused with all the keys and numbers. Can someone start a wiki?

I feel your pain. Commander Video got destroyed by Nintendo Power while I was out of town last weekend. You know you're addicted when you are afraid to travel for fear of missing something... Embarassed

Commander Video? Nintendo Power? What is this you speak of?

Working on jumbling the message : HEESAGE with Flickr right now. A good ways into jumbling. It'll take a bit though. Going at it by hand at work.

ADD: New post on blog! http://63-102-15.blogspot.com/2009/01/clones-they-had-to-be.html#comments

It was a rather interesting little ARG that NP blew up real good with a poorly timed article release:

 		Just did a google for Tempus Think Tank Ltd. But came up short.

Although I think it's common knowledge that Tempus is Latin for time, right?

The word Jumble has disappeared so it just says tHEmESsAGE now.

Still doesn't make any sense though, all I've got so far is it anagrams to TheseGames (ignoring the caps).

 		New post with a locked vimeo video. He says we need to use the key that we got earlier. Anyone been able to decode it yet? My listening skills are crap, I've been trying so much I can't tell the difference between the tones anymore.

Anyway, did a google on the company he mentions in his post, Quantum Industries. (I assumed that Insider meant someone inside the company, cause it didn't lead to anything.) Came up with this http://www.quantum-industries.com/. It was the only one I saw that didn't look legit.


EDIT:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Tried the code that Shallow Violet came up with on page 2. Awesome job, it worked. I'll post a recap of it blow this box so you don't have to scroll back to page 2.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
key = 482375811


Also,

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The video shows parts of words, sections of the letters themselves. Don't have my laptop with me, but when I get the chance I'll try throwing it in Photoshop and seeing if I can put them together to come up with something.


EDIT2: Scratch that last part about trying to figure it out. I'm gonna leave this one to you all for the night. It's getting late and I gotta sleep if I'm gonna be up bright and early. Night all. Good luck!

 		Cool job everybody Smile

I found the reference about "Einstein-Rosen bridge":

Quote:
So he (Einstein - k.) went to work with Nathan Rosen and in 1935 they produced a paper that produced evidence for a bridge between a black hole and a white hole, this was called the Einstein-Rosen Bridge.


So we have black and white holes, and also Gauss-Bonnet theorem. It becomes terrific scientific Smile

See also the archived page from 2004 http://web.archive.org/web/20040811214801/http://www.quantum-industries.com/show.php

It had something to do with EVE Online multiplayer game. (look also for favicon http://www.quantum-industries.com/favicon.ico )

UPDATE2. This Quantum Industries was part of EVE universe, look for this page: http://www.eve-online.com/alliances/a_1761824565.asp
The last character in the list is CEO of Taurus Quantum Industries.

I suppose,

[META]
either we have here another game
or it's kind of relaunch of EVE Online (even if it's successful running the whole time)
or is our PM fan of EVE online.
