Berry says Sep 21, 2012 10:43AM Plurk Part 2: From this: yourfirstclue.wordpress.com We have gotten here so far: pastebin.com/xGCTKQMB
Berry says Sep 21, 2012 02:44PM Oh and the link to the first plurk in case anyone is confused: www.plurk.com/p/hbsbup
Adorkable Sep 21, 2012 02:45PM I went out to smoke and took my phone with me so I could keep up and it about broke my phone
Adorkable Sep 21, 2012 02:45PM My husband is going to laugh so hard at me that I've spent my entire morning on this.
Cool Story Jo Sep 21, 2012 02:46PM so google translate didn't help...what are we missing (by we I mean me)
Blaise Sep 21, 2012 02:47PM I have to gooo for a bit. Be back soon and will catch up. Don't finish without me!
Freyja Sep 21, 2012 02:48PM By the look of it, it can't form greek words either, so it is probably a crypograph in Greek letters.
Freyja Sep 21, 2012 02:48PM Changing it from upper case to lower case makes the letters a bit easier to read in Greek.
Freyja Sep 21, 2012 02:49PM Possibly you need to transliterate to the latin alphabet and then use a key again. Maybe the word "greek?"
Berry says Sep 21, 2012 02:56PM "Maybe.Because I screwed up on the last puzzle, I'll help you out as a reward for listening (NΛδΧΑπΛπε) to me."
Adorkable Sep 21, 2012 02:58PM each letter in listening corresponds to the letters in NΛδΧΑπΛπε so it's a partial key
Freyja Sep 21, 2012 03:02PM Isn't the key one word longer? But if you push it one letter ahead, the two repeats match,
JPython Sep 21, 2012 03:02PM Try to replace the other words by using the letters that match up (for example π = n)
Annette Sep 21, 2012 03:20PM and well im going to school for computer science so i guess im on that track? haha
Annette Sep 21, 2012 03:21PM THIS IS UNRELATED but i loled that this came up in the results, right image
Kalli shares Sep 21, 2012 03:22PM only image titled colde64 on Deviant Art... browse.deviantart.com/?qh=§ion=&q=code64#/d1b744p
Freyja Sep 21, 2012 03:23PM Hmm, is it just coincidence with the LL in silly red herring being uppercase...
Annette Sep 21, 2012 03:24PM Linda_A: oh, that was me. i wanted to make sure i could distinguish between the Ls and Is, so i made the Ls capital when i replaced them
JPython Sep 21, 2012 03:27PM https://plus.google.com/u/0/105839182426977740095/posts#117457681563573485181/posts
Annette Sep 21, 2012 03:28PM how long does this go on? iwas hoping it would be solved and i could sleep
Annette Sep 21, 2012 03:31PM i feel the need to make a grid LOL i cant solve these without the grid ;_;
Adorkable Sep 21, 2012 03:32PM even once we have all the names and subjects though, it's really not going to give us a direction. I think the pig is important
Winter has Sep 21, 2012 03:37PM to go to bed now; so I'll require you o either solve this in the next 5 minutes or wait 5 hours, okay?
Berry says Sep 21, 2012 03:40PM I am just amazed at all the time and effort, I don't even know how they did this.
Berry says Sep 21, 2012 03:40PM I am still like sitting here in shock, can't even think straight. You guys figured it all out for me.
Adorkable Sep 21, 2012 03:41PM it certainly kept your attention and everyone else's. It's really cool!
Berry says Sep 21, 2012 03:44PM I dunno tbh, I emailed Mysterious Stranger and asked him if we're at the end and he hasn't responded yet.
Berry says Sep 21, 2012 03:48PM Thank you everyone for your help. I'm gonna go wash up cuz I can't stop crying now. LOL <3 I'll let you know if he says anything else.
Dಠ_ಠwnde Sep 21, 2012 03:49PM awwww berry! pleaseeee let us know if anything more happens and have a great birthday
Berry says Sep 21, 2012 03:49PM "You're not done yet. Finish the Google+ challenge.. there are still three teachers to find."
Berry says Sep 21, 2012 03:51PM This is the Google+ thing: https://plus.google.com/117457681563573485181/posts
Dಠ_ಠwnde Sep 21, 2012 03:53PM Once you have all four parts together, rearrange them into the right order and add a .com to the end
Praddykins says Sep 21, 2012 04:02PM It's been in the works and planning for a couple of months now.. it was fun to do, and I'm really impressed at how quick you all managed
Annette Sep 21, 2012 04:03PM that was way too fun and so ridiculously clever. it needs to stay online forever lol
Praddykins Sep 21, 2012 04:05PM I'm happy you all had fun with it! And Berry is totally worth it, and more <3
Veenya Sep 21, 2012 04:06PM Imagine that conversation "Did you get any interesting emails lately? -blink-"
Praddykins Sep 21, 2012 04:07PM The backup plan was to send it through her blog's Anonymous Feedback page
Keliah Sep 21, 2012 04:39PM Holy - I missed all this. Prad, omg. Berry, omg! This is the sweetest thing I have ever seen!
Hempy Sep 21, 2012 05:37PM Hats off to Prad!! Great Surprise!!! ~~ Sorry I missed the live fun but it was great to follow along the whole thing after the fact
Airedine Sep 21, 2012 05:56PM That was really fun to read through, I wish I'd got on earlier Amazing.
Kerryth Sep 21, 2012 06:51PM Just found this. The sweetest thing I've ever seen! Bravo, you brilliant people!
anya.ohmai says Sep 21, 2012 08:36PM That was brilliant XD I can't believe I passed out on that, but great job guys!
Crash Sep 22, 2012 03:47PM I wonder if Prad bothered hiding his IP in his "mistery man" emails or you could have just checked that and compare to Prads
Caroline Sep 22, 2012 05:53PM too funny, you forgot indiana. "If Indiana isn't in there... just pretend it is."
Annette Sep 23, 2012 07:09AM i laughed so hard when berry replied with that LOL. i was like "wait. wut." (no but srsly, what even HAPPENS in indiana?)
