 		If we're looking for single digits, Bart Starr was the MVP in Super Bowls 1 and 2.

 		The names are for his five digit security code.

Keep that in mind. Half of the suggestions on this page don't make any sense at all. This is not a telephone number. It is also not an anagram. I is a five digit security code. So keep focused on combinations that result in five digits. Even 3-8-15-5-7 is too long, that's six digits! So there can't be a 15, or any two-digit number in the code. Maybe quarterback stands for 4?

 		Bart Starr was on the a TV movie/show called "Unitas." Uni = 1, so I'm going to guess the number is 38157.

We know the last two digits are "57," that's what Marcus told me.

Could you stop doing these anonymous posts? At least sign them when you don't/can't log in...

And where did you get all this wisdom from? Marcus mentions the thing is a code, not what kind of code...

 		From the blog update by Marcus:

Quote:
The security system in the new building will almost replace Elias, but they assign new codes for each month and I have a hard time remembering that crap.


I think the security system refers to the alarm system physically in place in the building. The code is used to disable or reset the alarm. This would "replace Elias" as he was a security guard at the site of the Aloha building.

It must be 5 numbers as Marcus lists 5 different people. Here's a question: do we think Marcus would tell Mos the truth about his own security code? I have a hard time believing that Marcus is that careless, he knows Mos is working for OE, if only by process of elimination of his own employees.

On the other hand, I think Marcus wouldn't use Bart Starr = Johnny Unitas=the numeral 1. I think Marcus would use Bart Starr= quarterback=4. Or if he is a huge football fan it could relate to Bart Starr=superbowl MVP=2.

Mos pretended he worked for the company who put in the security system, and told Marcus that some ink had run together blurring the last two digits.

And while I think the Unitas is probably the most likely, since all the other answers are easily found on the IMDB. Although I agree with Giskard, why should we have presumed it was a five digit code? If all the easy answers had been one digit, sure. But give the 7 of 9, and (if it is 15) the 1-5, I think we would've been presuming too much to only look for a five digit answer. Besides, without a place to test these numbers we would've come up with a lot of other hypothesis until we could apply them somewhere. Isn't that kinda the point. Smile
