Um. guys when I was playing hangman with the code I realised

Fits perfectly with the code.


Hang on(pun unintended), where'd you get the first 7 spaces from?

I counted the numbers before 0


What about the 5 numbers after that?
I'm pretty sure they're important.

There is 13 zero's and 7 pairs of numbers before that.
using one of the earlier puzzles i figured out the that zero's = a letter in the ABC's which is M
I counted the numbers again, there's actually only 6.5 pairs of numbers before the 0s. 13 non 0 numbers and 13 0s.

UNLESS the first 0 is actually part of the number before it, making it 50 instead of 5, in which case there's only 12 0s and the last letter is L.

In any case there are 26 numbers total, one for all letters. My theory is that we aren't looking at another code, but a cipher for a previously unsolved code.

Try any letter combinations for this new cipher. That or try some special techniques.

The boys did just go looking for somewhere, considering they're driving somewhere soon.

It's not a latitude or longitude unless they're in the middle of the atlantic ocean, or greenland or the canadian shield,

it's too long to be an IP, right?

It's definitely not a an IPv4 address. The 255.255.255.255 is the last address; if we take them by threes it's outside the range, and if taken by twos we have leftovers.


It could be an IPv6 address as the end 0's are usually emitted, but it's too short for a full IPv6 address and why would only some 0's be emitted and not others?

Wait, so are we taking "ITWASHIM" as the answer? I'm still not convinced with this one, what's the point of the other non-zero numbers then?

What if this string of numbers is the key for another code like Block said?

That would only work if the #'s before 0 were
like this
65 54 37 90 8 87 65

All 3 of your posts have something to do with you cracking a code and nothing else. Does nobody else find this suspicious?

Are you implying Zaria is Troy?

Okay! here's something we've been working on:

looked up on wikipedia the relative frequency of used letters in the english language, listen them from most to least common.

Match those numbers in rank to the numbers in the code, we get:


6 5 5 4 3 7 9 0 8 8 7 6 5
e t a o i n s h r d l c u

Which we took to mean "This many of these letters" resulting in this gobbeldygook:


eeeeeetttttaaaaaooooiiinnnnnnnsssssssssrrrrrrrrddddddddlllllllccccccuuuuu

With 13 zeroes (or 12 depending on where you cut off your number matching)

13 (or 12) zeroes?

???
I just tend to stay on other sites than this one. None of my posts have resulted in anything in the past, haha.
But damn that was almost flattering.

So if you split it up in pairs, like the earlier codes, you end up with:
65 54 37 90 88 76 50 + 12 zeros, which could be L.

I'm not really sure how the previous codes worked, and none of these numbers appear in the previous one. I just know that if you go with the idea that each number could be two letters, (like 54 could be E or D) then you end up with an anagram that is frustratingly close to HEFAILED.

Edit: Sorry, may not have been clear. This is not it as far as I know. This answer doesn't account for 37, unless it came out to be an 'a' somehow. That's why I said close. I just don't fully understand the previous codes, assuming this one even runs the same way.

There is a difference of 1 between most of those number pairs.
6 and 5, 5 and 4, 9 and 0 (if you consider this 0 a 10), 7 and 6. Didn't we have a code before where all the number pairs followed a similar pattern? The only exceptions here would be 37, 88 and 50, where 50 might not even count...

Maybe the lower number in each pair is a letter's position in the alphabet starting from A, while the greater one is a letter's position staring from Z?

Adding each pair together you get 11 9 10 9 16 13 5. K I J I P M E.
Just throwing shit at the wall hoping something will stick.

I think he was just using that as an example.

Ok, I'm pretty sure this is the exact same kind of code that Jay was helping us solve a while back. Whatever we did to that set of numbers should work for this one.

There are not enough pairs to make the alphabet though.
