7 Doors [SOLVED!]

[catgirl789]

Sorry for the double post, but here's an update for the vids. Matt updated his blog with clues on how to decode them.

[ironnikki]

Alright, I sent an email to Matt volunteering my mobile services tomorrow. Hopefully I'll be able to help out!

And we definitely have to combine these videos somehow. I think you may be on to something catgirl; I'll look at some of the other parts and see if I can pull out any numbers that might make sense.

[catgirl789]

Maybe the numbers for the tic-tacs are 6713? Since there's 6 in the 5210 vid, 7 in the 84y vid and 13 all together.

ETA: Link to the picture of the coins side by side.

"Journey into Amazing Caves" Seen in the calendar part of the 84y vid is a movie.

Interesting, one of the main scientists in the movie "...studies this subterranean life in hopes it may point to new drugs or antibiotics to fight human illness"

[ironnikki]

Are we sure that we're looking for 4 digit passcodes? I don't think that Matt specified what format they'd be in. 4 digits makes sense, but I just don't want to make any assumptions.

Here's what I've got so far from the 5210 video:

10 Beeps

6 Tic-tacs (or whatever they are...)

18 light flashes; this is probably morse, but I haven't been able to transcribe it yet

$1.67 in change in the following format: 1 Dollar, 2 quarters, 1 dime, 1 nickel, 2 pennies

Clock with only 3 visible in the hour position

Calendar with the 20th

33 blinks

I'll see if I can't get the lights sorted out. Do you think that the blinks are morse as well? They all seemed to me to be like they were about the same length.

EDIT: I'm probably just aurally inept, but it sounds to me like the beeps are all the same length too. Thoughts?

[ironnikki]

Yeah, you're right. That is a 50 cent piece; my mistake.

Well, at least we can takes notes for this test, haha. Let's just get as many ideas as we can, write them all down, and then when Gabe tells us tomorrow what the format for each pass will be, we can match that up with whatever we have. Have you already sent Matt an email?

Jeez, this is going to be a make or break moment, we can't let Chris die! Anyone with video editing skills, please work on the possible morse code stuff. I'll be looking at the other, non-moving parts of the vids.

Edit: @ironnikki Yes, of course.

ETA: I found out that "Journey into Amazing Caves" came out March 2001.

[ironnikki]

Alright, and here's what I have for the 84y video:

36 blinks

Calendar with the 30th

$1.22 in change in the following format: 4 quarters, 2 dimes, 2 pennies

Clock with only 14 visible in the minutes position

31 light flashes

7 Tic-tacs

12 beeps


I'll work on the Morse thing, but no promises. I don't have any talent with video editing, but I'll see what I can do.

This is what I got from the vids.

84y

36 blinks
30 calendar
$1.17 (4 quarters, 1 dime, 1 nickel, 2 pennies...though I can't be sure that the nickel is a nickel from the distortion)
14 on the clock
31 flashes
7 pills
11 beeps (3, 1, 3, 4)

5210

9 beeps (2, 4, 2, 1)
6 pills
18 flashes
$1.17 (half dollar, 2 quarters, 1 dime, 1 nickel, 2 pennies)
3 clock
20 calendar
33 blinks

Earlier we had discussed the possibility of the lights and/or beeps being Morse code. What do you guys think about that? I think that the blinks go too fast and are all about the same length for them to be Morse code, but the other two are feasible.
