 		I replied to the email last night also - and got the same reply as Moontje - the only difference being it showed the database integrity at 94%. The numbers at the bottom of mine were all 0's also:
Quote:
0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0

I would suggest that any more random emails really might break it!

Frankly I suck at breaking the codes, although it doesn't keep me from trying. And if a few of you are stumped? Heh - imagine my headache.

==EDIT==
Not sure if this is new - but I was just looking at The Portal - and for giggles, selected everything on the page. Towards the bottom it highlights this:
Quote:
i 90 81 72 63 54 45 36 27 18 09 i


I've no clue what it means, if anything - but thought it might be relevant.

==EDIT part 2==
The numbers are all mirrored. 90/09 .. 81/18.. etc.

 		nice...
might want to note that:

"90 81 72 63 54 45 36 27 18 09 "
=
9*10, 9*9, 9*8, 9*7, 9*6, 9*5, 9*4, 9*3, 9*2, 9*1

totally forgot that little quirk about multiples of 9 Smile the numbers are mirrored in the middle between *5 and *6

Another great spot! Now we're getting somewhere. I haven't a clue where, but at least we're moving Smile

I guess 9 could be a hint towards the method of decrypting the other numbers.

 		I'm pretty certain that text wasn't on the portal page last night when I was going through the source to find the Wikipedia links.

I'm glad you said that. I didn't notice it either when I checked the source this morning, but I convinced myself I must have just missed it.

9 seems to be a very important number.

Sorry, I'll just put up the cut non-animated eye. I've no software to cut it down on this machine.

 		There's a new mirror set up on the site for the letter "d".
Quote:
d 1111 31 22 4 4 22 13 1111 d


Since 31 and 13 are prime, I don't see how we factor this one.

Could it be that any prime numbers in our code are the letter 'd'? For the rest of the numbers, if they are multiples of a particular number, then they are a character that corresponds to the multiple? For example, multiples of 9 are 'i', prime numbers are 'd'. I'm not convinced that the multiple we're looking for with 'r' is 9, although it works, perhaps it's 3?

 		they're also various permutations of numbers adding to 4.

1+1+1+1=4
1+3=4
3+1=4
2+2=4
4=4
