 		new developments on Lenny's Xanga. I think it's binary, but I'm not sure! It's definitely computer-language related:

2 more emails...jesus...if anyone can help me understand this, please step up!

email 1

796F 7520 6172 6520 6C69 6B65 2068 6572 2E79 6F75 2063 616E 2068 656C 7020 746F 6F2E

email 2

4553 5441 424C 4953 4849 4E47 2043 4F4E 4E45 4354 494F 4E53 2E43 4F4E 5441 4354 2049 4D4D 494E 454E 542E

the email addresses for these were the same:

2152229880SPLAT30STS.COM

Does this mean maybe he has the person's E-mail address?


Could be, I dont think there is a way to send an anonymous email unless using an email-bomber-esque program. And if this girl is somewhere she does not know, it would seem that she would not have access to such a program.

Perhaps this phrase holds a clue, what could the 'invisible black walls' be? If you look at the next section, "DENIEDDENIED..." then it seems as if a computer is denying her access. Perhaps a firewall of some sort?

edit: This seems to be supported by the fact that the 'FW' in 'type-C7.6 FW0553 communication hardware' could stand for firewall (thanks to Kelis on page 1 for pointing that out).

This is an interesting puzzle...

Binary consists of 1's and 0's only. On or off. Nor is it hexidecimal code, as that is color related and in batches of 6...

Hm.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Hex codes->ASCII:

Line 1: you are like her.you can help too.

Line 2: ESTABLISHING CONNECTIONS.CONTACT IMMINENT.

the email address doesn't do anything in Hex. Looks almost like a phone number. Google lists it as a payphone at Amtrak Station in Philadelphia:

215-222-9880 S.30th & Market

Look at the domain: 30STS.com <- 30th street station? Looks like it could be a phone number.

*edit: clarified where codes came from.

 		I feel stupid doing this, but maybe we should just run through what we know?

Both emails are divided into chunks of four, with 17 chunks for the first and twenty one for the second (they are both odd numbers)

The first email chunks start with 7's or 6's, AND two 2's
The second chunks start with 4'2. 2's, and 5's

Letters are restricted from: B C D E F

the email features "222" its the only place where one number appears three times in a row


And I gotta go to class but i hope this helps someone

"ESTABLISHING CONNECTIONS.CONTACT IMMINENT" Sounds like firewalls/internet again.


Great work Alzheimers!

If you wanna figure it out on your own, doin't check the comments on his site

But seriously, we ARE supposed to let him know... and we don't ahve any other ways of contact? I think its justified

 		Beware the rush for the Solve, for she is a cruel and tricksy* mistress. The post above was incorrect.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
My post above was to the wrong number. I dialed the correct number -- after about ten rings, a digital line picked up (fax or modem). Anyone with 20th century technology that's willing to give it a go?





*and yes, it IS a word

 		Good job on the Email -- I don't think we had that before. But the message I posted above was incorrect -- I made a mistake. Check the spoilers again for a new theory.
