dag nabbit.. there's a typo in my comment!

Samuel has responded...

Well done, Misery! I don't know where I would be without you guys, I have no clue how you managed that, I'm in awe. However, on a more morbid note, that message does not sound good. Does it imply that this situation could get any worse?

[Xrate]

again....(SINT)....the capitals of the "four-phrase" in every email...

and the capital letter words....

the blog,the chat,and the thetombteam staff-login website write same man....some word with capital letters...

(or write different man with same fashion)

somebody very funny.

[Xrate]

what's happening?
what's reason the long hush?
there is decipher waiting question?
we have to known something the further?

[Xrate]

only ask questions should

blog updated!

ive been following along and finally decided to join in!
could someone tell me some of the methods the guy is using to encrypt his puzzles and the methods u decoded them??? any programs? any common solve methods i should know about? please educate me so that i can help out

New Update:

thanks, i just ofund that too. i tried roting it and im trying to understand modular encryption, but i dunt understand how it works. think u can help me understand it?

on the tutorial, it says that mod 28 with interval 3 becomes:

0 = a
1 = t
2 = k
3 = b


i dunt get how that works!?!!? 1 = t???

anyways im still trying to figure it out


UPDATE:
B P I L Y C U E , is most likely not the answer, but if u anagram it, u get PUBLIC YE. "Public Eye"??? hmmm 1 letter was missing in a previous puzzle this guy had so maybe this is the answer??? but it doesnt make any sense...hmmm im trying to mod it, but it doesnt make any sense!

any ideas on the diagram of the office?

[Crowfoot]

It looks like an 'S' on it's side. Or maybe it's some kind of symbol? I don't know much about history and archeaology.

Craze3: I don't necessarily think that BPIL... is it, but if 1=a, 2=b, and so on, then those are the letters you get. If you ROT that, then you effectively get A=2, B=3... however it still doesn't help much. As for this modular thing... it's beyond me, so I'm not too sure.

Crowfoot: I don't think the graph is anything... at least, I'm finding it hard to see much, and the coords from earlier are puzzling me. I'm starting to think the numbers and the graph have to be combined. But.. 8 numbers, only 5 points on the graph... hmm...

If we don't figure it out, does that mean we don't get an update?

[craze3]

For the record, and to clear things up, the image of the office is a graph!
these are the coordinates of the tables:

(1,3) (2,4) (5,4) (6,6) (10,13)

i asked people in the chat room and they agreed.

Now another theory,
all the numbers on the wall, when subtracted (just type it into google), end up as -89. Negative Eighty Nine is a new band that is touring with Nine Inch Nails. Could this be an advertising arg?

Another thing is that BLIPYCUE can be anagramed to "clue by pi"?
3.14?

k well i just talked to dodge and the convo was erased. i was able to save the begining, but since i was on my palm pilot the rest was erased. im pissed, but i didnt get much info.

He said the cops came in and took blood samples and they're going to test it in the lab. he will get the results within 2-3 days and he will post it on his blog. The janitor, Indie, had been a fighting someone yesterday (karate), and the guy he was fighting was some judo dude. Anyways, dodge was talking to indie about the fight yesterday. Dodge said that other than that theres no other new news. I asked him for any helpful hints or tips, and he said that to solve the graph and the numbers on the wall, we're probably going to need to use math. He said that he just felt like this is different from the other puzzles and that he thought that this one is solvable by math.

So the graph with the tables on it, with the coords i posted earlier is correct. but now we need to find out how the coordinates mathemetically connect to the writings on the wall.

anyways im a total noob and im already figuring this stuff out so im really happy and proud of myself, but i wanna figure out how to SOLVE the writings on the wall. anyways good luck to everyone and post the latest news and breakthroughs.

I'm really stumped on this one. I do a lot of maths, so I should be good at it, but I'm not getting patterns that mean anything.

I've tried combining the two datasets into one graph, but that does nothing. I've tried combining the coords from the graph with the numbers, but still nothing. The annoying thing is, the numbers are screaming patterns, but I still cannot find a link between them. For instance, the differences between the numbers bring up no other patterns, putting them in order still leaves nothing much, and doing things to them (minus 1 from each, etc) seems to do nothing either. In fact, I don't even know what I'm trying to find. I just have a feeling that the numbers relate to each other somehow. And the two sets have to fit together. I can't see how that will happen. Changing them to letters seems meaningless now we know that there's a maths link. The graph itself follows no graph-shapes (like x ³ , for example), the gradients of the lines are boring (1, 0, 2, 7/4), and really I'm getting stumped.

Maybe it's something much simpler, like averages? I'll have another go and get back later.

Noticed that the graph is 13x13. If you add the two sides up you get 26...perhaps each side of the graph represents part of an alphabet and you use the coordinates to make words?
