It seems probable that this might only be the first part in the puzzle. There are still many axons to go, perhaps we might find a note at one of them? Probably only the most regularly enhottenated axons (from what I recall HitsHerMark is an enhottenating dynamo) will get a part of the puzzle. Hmmmmmmm......

Well, if we don't have the whole puzzle, then the answers might remain to be seen.

I think all the ()'s are 0's... I couldn't see any full 0 in the scans, just (). The last line looks like hex value notations... not ()x4, but 0x4... and it's repeating, 0xa 0x4 0x9 0xa 0x4 0x9 0xa 0x4 0x9


Aha! see, I knew those looked familliar! Wink

well see the other clue that this isn't ingame - can anyone come up with a way that Melissa would be able to post a sheet at a payphone?

Unless Dana is somewhere close by HitsHerMark... Shocked Silly

creepy.

I also believe the () are 0

doesn't 0xa 0x9 etc mean something in machine code? registers? or is it just hex?

(a little off topic, I have a feeling with the event sunday, and having new herzog wavs today that there should also be new rani wavs today rather than friday. if they don't show up in the confidential files, I'd be willing to bet there's a puzzle out there leading to it)

Erg.

I'm not convinced this isn't a hoax, but looking at it again, if it is legit, and if it is a numeric substitution cipher, it's likely that 12-14-11 = ING. Also, one of the words in capital letters may be the keyword.

postscript can also be used as a programming language. The / is used in it.

the code across the bottom is repeating too - it is 0xa 0x4 0x9 four times in a row. Other than that, in base 10 it would be "10 4 9" four times in a row.

Code:
hex / 0xA 0x4 0x9 0xA 0x4 0x9 0xA 0x4 0x9 0xA 0x4 0x9
dec / 10 4 9 10 4 9 10 4 9 10 4 9
bin / 1010 100 1001 1010 100 1001 1010 100 1001 1010 100 1001
oct / 12 4 11 12 4 11 12 4 11 12 4 11


Hmmm.

Yug.

Hmm. Maybe it's not a cipher at all. The numbers 1, 4, and 2 are being repeated WAY too often for my liking.

The coordinated given are viable. They're for the University of California, Irvine, the Tustin Quad.

I'm sure we have some beekeepers there - I wonder if someone can go to those coordinates and see what they find?

Unless... Maybe that is where HitsHerMark found the note? (Correct me if I'm wrong)

I was just looking for something to map them in in DD MM.MM (was about to go grab my GPS unit but its in the car and im a work. so couldnt get away just yet)

The thing i find interesting is that Melissa hasent done anything with messing around with the GIS/GPS stuff its been pretty much lat/long in Decimal Degrees and WGS87 stuff the whole time.... hmmm
