Aww. But you've got the hat!
Anyway, it wasn't just me. It was acidfingers and surrealisticpill as well.
I'll get the nice post up probably around 1am EST. I get into the airport around midnight. It might be different if there's free internet at the connecting airport. But I have an exam in an hour so... I need to dash! |

When I noticed that care in the 5 second clip...I immediately thought of Gemma as well. However: That clip was posted August 6, 2006 where as Gemma did not start posting until October.
One more thing...watch that video CLOSELY. At the very end, pause it, and go back ONE frame. Look in passenger seat window, drivers side. There is a face. I can't tell if it is reflectin (of the video'er) or of the passenger. But there is a face!

Had I know the info that there were no spaces and 2 capitals that cuts my 21 letter combinations down to just 5 for a total of 544,320 possible passwords. That would probably be crackable in under 6 hours. If I added a restriction that the first letter must be capitalize (seems likely), the 2nd letter isn't (I'm assuming 2 words), and the last isn't (I'm assuming the cap is the beginning of a more than 1 letter word) that would cut it down to just 20 minutes. But then I saw that you'd already figured it out. I can't wait to know how. Also, how did you get confirmation of the adding technique and find out that it had 2 caps and no space? |
Can you believe that? You know about my puzzle/email from warpylol to Op, and that SupressGemma solution... dang was I channeling Tach or what!
Of course, WarPylol is a member of the YT group ipod opera - a hint? (anagrams to Opertion Aphid). Also, that account was in the latest correspondence list she left us in the last drop. We just didn't know the right capitalization.
That's one of the two accounts of that group that has a public video (the other is jimmyjm):
Title: Add Poe Hinder Vilification[/url] (anagrams to D in Aphid location verified)
Description: Erin is in ire. (palindrome sugesting Ireland)
Tags: PAID HIND (D in Aphid)
It's just a one second clip of a street scene with a car (license plate [N2 6941] or [NZ 6941]) and an apartment building, thought to be in europe. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_f7o4RK3oE
Is Tachyon implying that WarPylol is Gemma, or related to her?
Do we have the decoder ring ready? So far I have this:
| Code: | :04 Cx
:08 6t
:12 4v
:16 Fo
:20 Bu
:24 2z
:28 8w
:32 3p
:36 5m
:40 Dr
:44 7n
:48 Ay
:52 9q
:56 1s
:60 El
|
The second ring is incomplete, with tentative times (hour:minutes for verification)
| Code: | :06 2x (1:06)
:10 Do (1:10)
:18 8m (1:18)
:20 1z (1:20)
:22 As (1:22)
:34 Ft (0:34)
:38 4v (0:38)
:46 9q (0:46)
:48 3l (0:48)
:56 Bw (0:56)
