Well that was interesting.
Anyway, I kept working on the new "error" page and thanks to the fact that the page will eventually redirect to a Google search for "shuffling" I was able to eventually break through. I shuffled (or alternated) the letters from "RHINO Blood" (the anagram of "RoBlIN HOod"). The first result was "RBHlIoNoOd" and got me nowhere. The second result was "BRlHoIoNdO" which I broke into two sets of letters. After many different tries and a lucky mis-type I ended up with

Wow, great job! I'm having trouble getting it to work though. Do you enter the text and then press Try Again, or wait for the page to reload? And there is supposed to be a space at the start of the first word, right?

Sorry about the space.

Thanks. Wow, that is really impressive. I would have never got that, plus the letter B doesn't match the capitalization in the html. Great job!

So I may have found something for this next puzzle. I checked all of the one time pad codes we have gotten so far. There is only one that has all of the numbers found on this page. I uploaded the image here.

Some of the numbers appear in the list twice, so there are two letters for some numbers. I don't see any message in this, but it can't be a coincidence.

Also note the page title "afeaf44444f4f" which could be hex bytes, or single hex values, or one large hex number... but most likely hex in some way.

Also the div html element class name in the source code is "steiuu" which seems kind of..random..?

Also the page url - http://bloodstreaming.com/dugthetrbnemdfkutter.htm

Also lots of bad and weird html form in the source this time... Confused

Lots to work with I think.

Also, good job on that login! Smile

Good one MR!
Correct me if I'm wrong but shouldn't a One Time Pad be less sloppy than this?
Just the three 96s give us (sorry bad at maths) at least 8 possible arrangements of the letters.
And there's two more variables. Where to start?

Thanks all. Dumb luck really.
LT, the OTP variables bother me as well. I'm going to assume that the variables are to be ignored and try to solve this: "pmatbemepdpqa". (I hope someone else takes on the more difficult challenge. TheBruce?)

So far I all I know is there are no anagrams. At least none made of actual words. Onwards!

Nice job! Do you mean you made it past this page? I noticed there is a text box that comes up after some clicking, were you able to get past that part?

I noticed at the bottom of the flash video it says something like:

No, I'm not very good at math.

The equation that seems to come up with tons of clicking:

G8 + ((square root of 121) + 31) / 3.5)

~~leads me to some variation of "Gate twelve" but nothing like that seems to work as the password~~

EDIT: Got the first puzzle:

First google search with that line brings me here:

http://rhinopoetry.org/poems/2006/adamshick.pdf

But the 6th line words 1-5 are Here, navel to silent navel which doesn't work.

Think this poem is the key though

So this is what I miss while drinking green beer Smile

. This Brain Lock thing is creepy and cool. It's also interesting that the newest clue (is that a fortune cookie fortune?) is from RHINO poetry (in 2006, even!). We've learned a lot about RHINO lately. Can't be a coincidence.

I have an idea, but it might be way off. For the first password, the placeholder text was "****** *****" which matches twelve gates.

This second input box is 5 7 5 5, which is 22 total letters. Now if you look at line 6 of this poem, words 1-5 (6:1-5), it is "Here navel to silent navel" which is also 22 letters. I tried breaking up the letters in order, so "heren aveltos ilent navel" but that didn't work. Maybe it's an anagram that will work out to a 5 letter word, 7 letter word, 5, 5. It might be unrelated but it seemed to fit since they both have 22 characters.

Edit: It anagrams to: rhino sealant level event. It must be some combination of these words?? Ah, why does it take so long to enter a password each time Mad

double edit: Aha:
