Hint?
Guest


Are you guys asleep?

HMM I hope u guys haven't given up yet. I see u did not partake of the juices of my previous clue...Maybe u've all been taken by the "A"...(lol)
I c u've come up with plenty of questions but no answers...I guess it is all an enigma...(lol)

Ich hoffe, dass Sie gutes Gluek haben. Sie benoetigen Gluek, das Raetsel zu loesen!

Awkward German much? Confused
(Last sentence from hint? translates as "I hope you will be lucky. You'll need luck to solve the puzzle!" - but it's strangely worded for a native's ears.)

And even for the risk of just having fed a troll: Been pondering the latest files without coming up with much. Maybe i'll rewatch the Ennead films over the weekend.

Is there an IRC channel for this, btw?

I've been going through some of the unsolved puzzles and I wonder about a couple of things.

1) The Rorschach message, 19 April has a lot of movie references (just like the culehuete.pdf http://anioscorporation.com/diocletianscourt/?p=31. Is this a puzzle we may have missed?

Sometime in April http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0400063/
The Thing http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084787/
Dimension http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0473351/
When http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0126727/
Star Trek TNG (multiple)
Gravity's Rainbow (Book) http://books.google.com/books?id=iPDGp7VT8H8C&printsec=frontcover&dq=Gravity%27s+rainbow&ei=58oKSvGCF4TOlQT27un8CQ#PPP1,M1
(He also talks about time paradoxes and "twinning of the worlds" and "webspace duality". I don't know what to make of it. (if anything at all)


2)The "mysterious" message digest puzzle is clearly a CheckSUM result. I suppose there is no way to use that to know what it was checking?

Code:

MD4: 5f658bdc3bd08c99230ea04bdc2c3351
MD5: f0865c60c6497e792eafb351cf944190
CRC 8, ccitt, 16, 32 : 6e4d80fc

CRYPT (form: $ MD5? $ SALT $ CRYPT):

(form: SALT[2] CRYPT[11]):

RIPEMD-160: c51d2072077baeea485b3c7d5d8d85f8e9f58708


@Hint? Red Herring I wish you'd stop doing that. I suppose your "enigma" reference is supposed to make us go look for an online WW II German Enigma decrypter or something and spend time looking for answers that I suspect are not there. If I am mistaken, then I urge you to prove me wrong (PLEASE!). Bang Head Bang Head Bang Head

Well spotted, Daeld!

Now if I only knew what to make of it - combine cuelhuet and that post somehow, maybe? Hmmm...

That checksum puzzle has bugged me as well. I guess there's no way of decoding that without the proper key. Dunno

Grrr. I'm stuck. ARG

@Hint: Please stop.

There are not many possibilities:
1) You are from behind the curtain and not allowed to post in this thread.
2) You are just trying to mislead us and hijack the game/thread.
3) You are really a player (which I doubt). So no reason to speak in riddles. If you have an answer just post it. The puzzles are already designed by the PMs

I agree with AUZ. The last thing we want on here is someone playing the forum. Like I said before, just post the info. If you don't, I have to take away the benefit of doubt I offered before & just assume that you are a game jacker or a PM with really bad form...

IRC Chat

I've added a Mibbit chat link to the top menu bar of the wiki:
http://enneadarg.wikidot.com/

Does this work for everyone?

Viruses suck.

I've been focusing all my energies on trying to "Find Him", including combining seemingly-irrelevant clues from other puzzles with Mr PW, but I'm not coming up with anything helpful. Maybe I've missed something?

And I've got to re-format my hard-drive soon, fighting viruses is not a fun passtime.

Anyway, been trying to look at PW from different angles, but not having much luck.

@Hint: You would be a lot more of a hint if you actually gave us a relevant hint.

Thanks for the chat RM, works great Smile. Also: I wrote Lisa with our culehuet.pdf & Trillians "Find Him" results & threw in some subtle questions as well. Hopefully she responds soon...

A (very) small thought...

This is likely absolutely nothing, but I wonder if anyone that has lisa's e-mail and has had answers from her (ie not me Sad ) could perhaps ask her about the two blocked spam messages.

At the top of her blog http://pandoralee999.wordpress.com/ on the right there is a "Spam Blocked" area. As far as I know (which is not much, granted) this is not all that common on wordpress blogs... Could there be clues in those messages? It started off as 0, then went to 1 and recently up to 2. I wonder if anyone would mind asking her about it next time you e-mail her... (speculating rubbish like this helps me to avoid my other ARG pass-time: Bang Head )

PS Thanks for the IRC room reasonableman Exclamation

Episode 8

So, in 5:11 the first symbol is the one that appears and disappears in the enneadsearies.com site, the second symbol is likely to be related to the true cross and the third symbol is the good old ennead avatar symbol.

Now I know that we have never had any major puzzles from the episodes (but if you read back, you'll know I've been fascinated with trying to figure out what the symbols mean). In this arrangement, if Psysop is correct about the hebrew wheel, it may have a message. However, my hebrew is lacking (lol) and I have not been able to make heads or tails of it with an online hebrew translator. (oh well). Nice episode anyway! I like the "you should have used the novocaine!" bit.

@Daeld: Sorry if I was not clear & / or if I steered you or anyone else in the wrong direction with this Magick script example. For the sake of clarity, this is what I meant: "Example magic script key" is exactly that, an example. As I stated, I don't know what letters & / or numbers were used to create any of the Ennead sigils. With that stated, anyone can make a sigil that looks magick-ish by using any layout of choice (wheel, pentagram, square, CONSTELLATIONS etc) and any language (numbers, letters or both) they choose can be placed on that layout. -However, a very common trait is the circle usually represents the start point, and the "T" represents the end point.

So basically, if the key is not one of the historically popular ones (like the rose cross / wheel I posted), it is probably very close to impossible to figure the sigil out until you acquire the correct Key. In this context, you could use google maps to make a sigil based on street signs, cities etc. And no one would know what that was until you clued them in with the key.

Note: But who knows, the wheel could be right Wink. And I'm still wondering if the teeth are tracking chips... oh btw, Lisa hasn't answered my mail yet Sad

LOL sorry mate, I know that's what you meant, I guess my humour is...uncommon... Very Happy

I have three observatory (as I think that's probably the key, with the date 09/09/09 @ 2100hrs and prominent Leo) programs that I'm running the symbols on without much luck. (although I did try the hebrew ones as well. I've also tried an eliptical arabic and a chinese wheel.)

I already "found" the X-ray connection last week. But did not come up with anything useful connected to X-Rays. No wonder - since I did not have the teeth. Cursing

ETA: Can someone post a transcript of the things Teeth and Xavier are saying during the firt 1:30 minutes. I have real difficulties to undestand it.

ETA2: Teeth has found four teeths in her pocket. Why do we have only three in the x-ray?

in the opening scene X-Ray is grunting & moaning something like "god, come on"

Teeth: Hold still Xavier
X: God damn it! Come on...
Teeth: What? You could have made this easy and sat still. You could have taken the Novocaine.
X: (coughs) I'll take the Novocaine (coughs) no (looks up at her) NO
Teeth: Mmmmmm Come on, you want to help save the world don't you?
X: (grunts then screams) Ahhhhhhhh

(Teeth pulling sequence occurs, then)

Teeth: OK, last one (pulls last tooth) Good work Xavier
