You may regret saying that, TOSG Smile

How right you are. Laughing

Unfortunately, I BLASTed all of those, and didn't get anything that looked even remotely promising. Guess it's back to the d ...

I don't quite see how BLAST is going to do us any good here.

Elaborate on your idea, perhaps, phipunk?

It might be that this is a sequence from a real genome; or perhaps most of it is from a gen ...

Didn't phipunk say something like "unless it's six bits and they need to be padded with... no let's not go into that." Razz

Oops. Plagiarize, plagiarize, let no one else's work evade your ey ...

I tried seeing if we can treat each three-color block as a six-bit value. This means picking a mapping from {b,g,r,y} into {00,01,10,11} (e.g. b= ...

It's a 30x10 grid of four colors
Ok had to go back to the original statement to see where I went wrong...

30x10x2 = (2x15)x(2x5)x2 = 2x2x2x(15x5) = ... *explodes*

ok that's the last ja ...

iMouse! Whatsup man...Facility J appears to be up. As does MA and KM, but there's not much puzzling to be done over there.
I tried with 16 of those and out comes pure garbage. As phipunk said, text ...

Here's a transcript:
You are a more patient man than I am... We could try eliminating the obvious, and trying each possible mapping of {b,g,r,y} into {00,01,10,11} and running them through the binar ...

Hi Clara,

I'm Alan, aged 40, in Chicago IL, from Glasgow in Scotland originally. I'm a computer/network security researcher, and helped with some of the cryptanalysis of Zipp's coded messages.

Hmmm, very interesting!

I'm not sure what to make of it - do we think that there's an associated puzzle?

Either way, I'm happy to see that FacilityJ is back!
Huh, what, er, wakes up from deep s ...

From this I get that we may have been confusing Facility J, which has definitely been identified as a "State-of-the-art Govt Facility" with "The Project" which Jay seems to be impl ...

This is quite a different history for Facility J than the one from TJ19's videos, which gave the impression of a lab with strong connections into the whole military / industrial / biochem / research / ...

I'm going to do some reading and watching then. i think I might get involved in this. Sounds interesting!

Oh, and here's a perl script I wrote which automates the codon/shift decryption. Command line only I'm afraid -- it takes the DNA sequence as the first argument, and the shifts as the second.

Boy that was fast, I blinked and I missed it...

Haha yeah, for a change I went to sleep early last night, so I missed the first part. Hey you'd probably enjoy the aha! moment with the frequency cra ...
