Berry says Sep 21, 2012 07:05AM So I got this email from a "mysterious stranger" and they are telling me they are sending me on some sort of quest and just sent me a link..
Berry says Sep 21, 2012 11:06AM When I looked up the ip address, it was blank. I dunno if it's spam or what.
Berry says Sep 21, 2012 11:07AM OMG I had sent them an email asking me if it's spam and they just replied that it's not spam and I'm supposed to solve the puzzle!
Billy Sep 21, 2012 11:10AM i wouldn't do anything with an email like that - it'd go straight to trash
anya.ohmai says Sep 21, 2012 11:15AM #11 is largest online retailer (I'm guessing Amazon) twice, so "A"
Berry says Sep 21, 2012 11:20AM I have to get some work done but I'm going to come back to this in about half hour. You guys have to help me.. <3
anya.ohmai says Sep 21, 2012 11:20AM <3 we shall try I'm having trouble with the beginning few because it seems to easy, and I'm spelling weird words in the end
Sanura Snowpaw Sep 21, 2012 11:22AM @, x, eye, g, e, n, seventh I'm not sure, d (I think), and thats all I've got so far
Annette Sep 21, 2012 11:23AM if its a spelling thing, I'd guess that the first is "L" since thats the only letter in 'email' thats not in 'domain names' :/
Sanura Snowpaw Sep 21, 2012 11:24AM I thought more broad on that one that emails have @ but domains names don't but I could be wrong
anya.ohmai says Sep 21, 2012 11:25AM and your "Eye" guess should be I I think? Or is that too easy too?
anya.ohmai says Sep 21, 2012 11:29AM 9 is E I believe... weight against Isle of Wight <- through wiki
anya.ohmai says Sep 21, 2012 11:30AM I'll wait for the rest, or think through it through dinner... its spelling rather funny words for me
anya.ohmai says Sep 21, 2012 11:33AM "My key which you’ll need, is the Bluebird’s chirp." <- then there's that D: does a bluebird chirp in a specific key?
anya.ohmai says Sep 21, 2012 11:36AM yeah, the other letters are all in the "bowed string musical instruments" too though, so I'm guessing names of instruments D:
anya.ohmai says Sep 21, 2012 11:37AM The only ones I'm confirmed with are 10-16 just cause it spells Tableau and I'm HOPING its something related with them
Sanura Snowpaw Sep 21, 2012 11:37AM Why do I have this feeling Berry & Prad and reading and laughing at us
anya.ohmai says Sep 21, 2012 11:37AM right right... gosh, and they come in here and say "We have nothing to do with this" and we start over
Dಠ_ಠwnde Sep 21, 2012 11:38AM this is has something todo with the Soon sunday secrets?. cause the title is IT begins
Sanura Snowpaw Sep 21, 2012 11:38AM Could totally picture Winter & Prad working this up to prank Berry and us taking the bait
Sanura Snowpaw Sep 21, 2012 11:44AM Ohhhh maybe it might be legit than... Although the cast of characters still makes me wonder
Berry says Sep 21, 2012 11:46AM ok tweeted, let's see what happens. I need to write down all these answers. So confusing.
Dಠ_ಠwnde Sep 21, 2012 11:49AM grrrr anyways thats the mess i have, at twitter i think is the last one
Adorkable Sep 21, 2012 11:56AM it is a cipher nob.cs.ucdavis.edu/classes/ecs155-2005-04/handouts/vigenere.html
Annette Sep 21, 2012 11:56AM yeah, i googled polyalphabetic and got that. at first it looked like russian though lol
Annette Sep 21, 2012 12:04PM im working on it, the key is "tweet" i think. i used that and the first word is "jolly"
Annette Sep 21, 2012 12:04PM though im using this link pages.central.edu/emp/LintonT/classes/spring01/cryptography/vigenereTable.html
Dಠ_ಠwnde Sep 21, 2012 12:05PM Jolly good show! Sad to say, my screen appears to be flickering though. Perhaps you can seek a solution for me from my friend Triple Hex?
Veenya Sep 21, 2012 12:06PM Jolly good show! Sad to say, my screen appears to be flickering though. Perhaps you can seek a solution for me from my friend Triple Hex?
anya.ohmai says Sep 21, 2012 12:09PM The photo was posted in august though D: is this that well planned?
anya.ohmai says Sep 21, 2012 12:10PM This photo was taken on August 30, 2012 in College Terrace, Palo Alto, CA, US. <- Berry ring any bells?
James Sep 21, 2012 12:10PM "I am Triple Hex. I used to be a crafty ol' wrestling bean but nowadays, I live in an isolated
anya.ohmai says Sep 21, 2012 12:14PM www.colorhexa.com/55af79 not sure if this helps, i'm guessing not
anya.ohmai says Sep 21, 2012 12:17PM He did mention Montana, if he's using social networks, we're kinda left with facebook/google now
Caroline says Sep 21, 2012 12:27PM if flickr mentions facebook then wouldn't you think there is something on fb to find?
Berry says Sep 21, 2012 12:28PM I love how all of you are showing up here. I love you guys so much. <3
anya.ohmai says Sep 21, 2012 12:28PM I would think its on facebook too, but so many triple hexes D: which one!
Blaise Sep 21, 2012 12:43PM So a little late into this but I did happen to find a FB of Argeebee Bernal and it's a dog. Just interesting fwiw fact.
Blaise Sep 21, 2012 12:46PM Having no luck on FB with any of the RGB's or hex codes or anything. It's missing something.
Adorkable Sep 21, 2012 01:01PM the address on that FB is a law firm www.taylorwessing.com/our-offices/details/paris.html
Blaise Sep 21, 2012 01:04PM omg I have no idea why plurk keeps saying I'm flooding and I haven't posted anything http:// pastebin .com /hhunExeY
Blaise Sep 21, 2012 01:04PM it won't let me paste a link but I did a good search for the phone number and found that pastebin
anya.ohmai says Sep 21, 2012 01:06PM ngeh my internet isn't going to hold onto SL well Gonna have to figure this here
Caroline says Sep 21, 2012 01:07PM lol we must all be going to that link because it says connection timed out.. too busy
Veenya Sep 21, 2012 01:11PM In the script, the letter from the phonenumber on the FB page is together with the alphabet
Veenya Sep 21, 2012 01:13PM If you put the key in to a bifid cipher and work it like that maybe, but it's a tad to complcated for my brain
Blaise Sep 21, 2012 01:17PM I'm not seeing anything that gives a hint how/what to decipher >.> And this is your assignment?
anya.ohmai says Sep 21, 2012 01:17PM unless this was what we have to find wouldn't that be frustrating?
Annette Sep 21, 2012 01:19PM I don't have the order, I know after Aretha "Respect" is Alicia Keys "Karma"
Berry says Sep 21, 2012 01:28PM There is no way I would have gotten this far without you guys. I am still so confused.
anya.ohmai says Sep 21, 2012 01:29PM yes, totally for me too, my brain just mushified and now it won't work ever again
anya.ohmai says Sep 21, 2012 01:31PM I don't know if we're working the songs or the plurk now D: although the plurk seems odd
Blaise Sep 21, 2012 01:33PM So I'm doing a crossword search for all the states and will see what's left after that?
Annette Sep 21, 2012 01:34PM could be one of those puzzles where you cross out what you find and read a sentence later.. or.. something
Berry says Sep 21, 2012 01:37PM Doesn't look like you're stuck. Keep going.Hint: It's not what you see, it's what you don't see.
Sanura Snowpaw Sep 21, 2012 01:37PM This is quite well thought out and uses a lot of social networking sites like Berry loves. I'm pretty impressed!!
anya.ohmai says Sep 21, 2012 01:38PM yes its very impressive, it looks very well thought out, LIKE IT TOOK A YEAR.
Adorkable Sep 21, 2012 01:38PM it's so cute how we're all helping Berry figure out who her stalker is
Berry says Sep 21, 2012 01:48PM and then I was like, no they are saying my name and everything, this does not look like spam.
Annette Sep 21, 2012 01:49PM at the end, berry's just gonna get a link thats like CONGRATULATIONS. YOU HAVE WON A FREE IPAD. justcompletethese3offers.
Faelen says Sep 21, 2012 01:50PM I've been reading this all morning... And I think winter is involved. XD
Winter says Sep 21, 2012 01:50PM as if I'm smart enough to come up with something this diabolical....
Sanura Snowpaw Sep 21, 2012 01:51PM Kentucky backwards on the bottom row, arizona is also in the bottom row
Veenya Sep 21, 2012 01:51PM whose word thingiemajigs... You cross out the stuff you see and then you end up with like letter that isn't crossed off and that makes a
Winter says Sep 21, 2012 01:52PM see, I'd have to care about Berry to go to this much trouble. And I totally don't. So - not me.
anya.ohmai says Sep 21, 2012 01:57PM seattle too right? Those were the 2 places he was scouting for a job
Berry says Sep 21, 2012 01:59PM Veenya had sent me this link inworld earlier: www.ramblehouse.com/washington.htm she had googled Enigma Washington
Veenya is Sep 21, 2012 02:03PM Maryland in there? Because Washington is also a city... so... Washington, Maryland?
JPython Sep 21, 2012 02:04PM New Hampshire is backwards on the top row. Now I can't work now either lol
Annette Sep 21, 2012 02:08PM lol this plurk has so many responses I dont even see the new ones pop up automatically anymore ;_;
Caroline Sep 21, 2012 02:11PM vermont is next to montana, minnesota is diagonal under the W in new hampsire
Annette Sep 21, 2012 02:24PM i already posted a pic from a word search solver i used, it found 48/50 states :/
Veenya Sep 21, 2012 02:25PM I'm guessing its a linked in profile where Washington is the surname and the other state the first name.
Annette Sep 21, 2012 02:25PM it doesnt tell you, but i entered washington and indiana seperately, it doesnt find those :/
Annette Sep 21, 2012 02:26PM i tried putting in indiana washington and vice versa several tiems into linked in search lol
Berry says Sep 21, 2012 02:30PM So then accoriding to Annette's image, there's only one missing state. Washington
Berry says Sep 21, 2012 02:31PM "You're still missing a second state.Which word might be repeated twice?"
