Here's the code converted from Hex into script. Lots of Norse-looking dialogue, but some parts in the first line were deliberately not meant to be translated it seems i.e. 'DO' as opposed to 'D0'. The character 'A0' translates as a space, so I left it there.

Anyway, can anyone else make anything of this? I tried writing down the characters that fall on Fibbonacci numbers and got nowhere.

Ò±®ÐÂË¡Ð1DO¡ÁDODOA0Á ´Á
Æ ¿ Ñ ´ Á Ð Â Æ ² Á ® Á DO
Ë Á Ë Ð Â ± Á ® DO Á Â1¿
¡ Á Ú Ú Ñ Á Ú Â ´ Á ¿ Ë Á Á Ô
Á Ð Á Ë Á Æ ± Ë Á Á ¿ Ð Á Â ¡ ® ± Ú Ñ
¡ Á ® ± Â Ò Ø Á A0 Â
Æ ¿ Æ ´ Ë Æ µ Â Ë ¡ ® ± Ñ Æ µ Â
Ë Á Á Ú Ñ Ë Æ ± Â Á ¡ Â ¿
Æ ¡ Á ¿ Ñ Æ µ Â Æ ¡ ® Ú A0 Æ µ Â
Ò Â A0 ® ± Á Ð Á Â ¡ ® ± Ú Ð µ ® Â Ë Á Â Æ Ñ Ú ® µ
¿ ®Ø Æ ¿ ¡ Á Ú Á Æ ¡ Â
Ø Â ± ² E6 Æ ¿ ® DO Á Â ±

There's certainly an irritating lack of consonants...

We got another e-mail from Sigyn:

Quote:

Puh-Lease

Meg Sarah Street
show details 6:35 AM
Its been 9 hours and some of you guys haven't found Loki's latest puzzle?

well he's addicted to the drama, I'm more straightforward, but he's INSISTING I do this.

Anyway, if you haven't found it yet, just walk backwards, OK?

For those of you that have, don't you think that Loki and I make a Nice Duo?

Geez, Loki. Is THAT OK????

Sigyn


This one doesn't have any hidden text, but she tells us to "just walk backwards" and I think "Nice Duo" is capitalized for a specific reason. I'm heading out for the day in a sec so, can anyone use this to get the puzzle? kthnxbai.

I did too - I imagine that means that the "nice duo" comment wasn't something we should be thinking about.

The "walk backwards" must be the main thing. Perhaps the code is backwards? Although Sigyn is saying we haven't even found Loki's latest puzzle... perhaps this one isn't what she means?

I've corrected it in the quote, just so no one goes around using the incorrect one.

I corrected it in mine too, just in case.


I can only think that the latest e-mail means that we have been past the puzzle before but not done it, or a website we've used has changed.
I'm going to be going back through to look what she means.

Distilled was right about the "The Tree of Life", but in Norse Mythology Yggdrasil only has nine worlds.

Wife or Not

Well that solves that question Wink

Quote:
LOL!

Wife!!! That is rich!! No, not his wife, if you knew Loki like I know loki he's got commitment issues.

Girlfriend, yes. Partner, of course.

Brains of the operation, definitely after his last stunt.

Number 7

Excuse the double post but it is simpler to start a new one.

16 is probably a letter break however 1+6 = 7 came across this site which points Loki = 7:

http://www.emotions.64g.ru/prof5/p3en.htm

Probably doesn't help us but it is interesting stuff.

I'm pretty sure everyone has already figured this out, but I'm just going to say it just in case anyone didn't guess this:

Seeing as how the circles in the globe are able to be clicked, it has to be some sort of combination, with the code being in the cipher. I'm thinking that the cipher will tell us the different worlds in a certain order, then we click on the circles based on which world is stated.

Just thought I'd put that out there.

eye eye

Well I didn't spot that, well done. Another thing we missed entirely when we transposed the letters, is that there a 'II' that looks like a '1'. You have to look real close. There either the 'II' is an 'I' or a word/letter break, both possibilities below:

There was a small transcription error in the first line, it seems.
I've corrected it in the quote, just so no one goes around using the incorrect one.

Hahaha. I think guest is exactly right. And I halfway suspect guest is Loki getting fed up with us being slow and giving us a nudge. Wink
