For the zeroes, I'm following the previous theory that the thirteen zeroes at the end = M, and using the same theory, the lone zero in the middle = A.

Sorry if that was confusing; just brainstorming. The only reason I think this could be possible is because the emphasis placed on HE is a liar in the hospital and Tim mentioning that Alex is a liar seems to point that there is a major connection to lies.

The question is whose lies?


This is an interesting idea. I played around with it and although I can get some words like "lies" and "her", I can't get a phrase out of the entire string. I would guess that the first 0 simply denotes a break between words, as opposed to A (since you can get A from the 2 digit on a phone).

I don't think the code is meant to be anagrammed, but one thing I have noticed, is that, assuming the 0 is indeed a word break, the first string of 7 numbers contains 6 different digits (with one repeated). Jessica's name is 7 letters long, with 6 different letters (one repeated). Probably just a coincidence.

I don't know if it is the correct answer, but it makes sense O__o have you tweeted it to Jay?

Edit: Wait, what have you done with the zeroes?
I do understand your process, but it is a little messy and I guess I'm loosing information here.


I did tweet it to him.

And the zeroes process came from another post on here where the number of zeroes = the number of the corresponding letter in the alphabet (0 = A, 00=B, etc)

And for how I got the letters, that old phone like seen in a TTA video (I believe it is 'Operator' but I honestly cannot remember) on each number to dial are three letters and I listed them above.

From there its just a matter of plugging them in until I got something that seemed to fit and used all the places.

It probably makes no sense, but I thought I'd give it a try anyways

I did wonder if Jessica had something to do with it; the only reason I even posted it was just to maybe spark the minds of those with better decoding skills than I.

I was just playing around with it, saw the 'look into your lies', and figured "what the hell, why not post it", ya know?

But who really knows at this point in the game
The numbers might not mean anything except to entertain/distract/mindfuck us

 		What concerns me is that ToTheArk or 'whoever' has stopped uploading videos lately in favor of posting random bits of code on Jay's Twitter... why?

You made a mistake, unfortunately. I was doing it out by hand to try and follow what you did, and I noticed that you have three o's in your phrase, but the numbers only give us two. You only crossed out one o when you did 'look'. Still, you might be on to something. I think your idea should be looked into a little more before we rule it out entirely.

This is the first strange tweet since totheark's most recent video. Also, we're still no sure if totheark is responsible for the tweet.

I actually think it's Jay in his altered state that posted it...

Oh! Now I see it. Thank you for catching that; I'm a bit sleep-deprived. But I think maybe this could be the way to solve it, possibly. Like I mentioned earlier, someone else could try to use the same method and find other words/phrases, etc.

I've been lurking but I decided to post. What if we assume that Jay has a modern phone, and tried to send a message out before the seizure and it ended up on Twitter as the buttons instead of words? It would mean the 0 in the middle is a space, and the zeros at the end were an accident. If so, we're left with:
6554379 88765
(mno)(jkl)(jkl)(ghi)(def)(pqrs)(wxyz) (tux)(tux)(pqrs)(mno)(jkl)

Maybe it's a scrambled message? Just trying to help Embarassed

Yeah I tried that but it doesn't seem to give anything sensible.

How does 13 "0's" go from being ?m? to ... something else?

 		Wouldn't it be funny if it wasn't a code at all? Just a random tweet?

 		What are you guys basing these numbers on, anyway? How are you getting some sort of word-based code out of them? It doesn't really make any sense-- they're numbers. Sorry if I sound stupid, but I don't get it. At all. It's just a bunch of numbers.

 		Question
Why is noone really taking this seriously? I know there are a dedicated few trying but last time we had a full army working on it, and now it seems like hardly anyone cares. I want to know what it says! (I would help if I was better at these things)

Also, because it's just numbers and numbers don't spell words.
