[22:53] <archetype1> Hey guys.. I was wondering.. have we figured out what "brother" is telling us in his new VM?
[22:53] <Jewelybug> Hey minty

[22:53] <Luv2LuvEm> That he's an idiot??
[22:53] <Jewelybug> I think hes telling us he is dumb
[22:53] <Jewelybug> and he needs a helmet
[22:53] <archetype1> Well with his double bagged reference..
[22:54] <archetype1> I think he is speaking in code.
[22:54] <Jewelybug> uh no. i didnt think much about it
[22:54] <Jewelybug> what do you have in mind arche
[22:54] <archetype1> double bagged.. new line..
[22:54] <Luv2LuvEm> Oh I didn't hear that part, I actually need to read the transcript
[22:54] <archetype1> i dunno.. i think we're missing something..
[22:54] <Luv2LuvEm> hold on I'll go read it real quick
[22:54] <ladron121> maybe its going to be part of the next set of clues
[22:54] <Jewelybug> Yeah. im sure. it seems like that music recording from tach was WAY more work for it to not mean anything
[22:54] <ladron121> nothing in the vmail seemed to be code
[22:55] <archetype1> he says "So she tried to redirect me to another line"
[22:55] <Jewelybug> but, that is interesting now that you mention it. An AOL cd being double bagged.
[22:55] <archetype1> redirect?
[22:55] <archetype1> another line?

Ok so...
http://anotherline.redirectme.net
goes to...
http://losangeles.craigslist.org/x/wst/ ... 37163.html

View source and clean up the color codes. Apply Hex -> ascii, then Base64:

A. Song #6: Count every instance where the number # in the title is mentioned.

B. Song #4: Count every *female* vocal mention of summer.

C. Song #10: Count the number of times there is a mention of "pull the trigger."

D. Song #2: Before the first time one hopes to fall from grace, add up the number of separate instances a male appears to issue a count-off.

E. Song #9: Total the number of things specified as being taken (taking quantity into account).

F. Song #8: Total the # of times her numerical worth is mentioned.

G. Song #9: Total # of instances that the # in this song's title is mentioned.

H. Song #3: Total every 2 that is mentioned, before it's time to get loose.

I. Song #3: Add up the 1's mentioned. Any 1 counts, but "ones" don't.

J. Song #7: # of times the song title is mentioned.

K. Song #5: Total the days of each year, as if the mention of each counts as a seperate loss. Take into account that there'd be two leap years. Days in bed never count as a loss. Each mention gains you an additional week. All combined, how many days are lost?

L. Song #6: Add up every number mentioned that is NOT the # in the title of the song.

M. Song #13: How many times is the title repeated in the song. And then? See title.

N. Song #12: "Might as well," how many times?

O. Song #11: Total the # of things music saves you from.

P. Song #1: The song's title is repeated how many times in the song?

Q. Song #3: Add 1 to the # mentioned in the song title. How many times is *that* # mentioned in the song?

All done with that part? Redirect to what we do if it's wack...

It looks like a lot of work. It seems convenient to get organized and distribute the work, maybe on another thread. The results would give us another code to work with, and then we need to find another redirect, can't imagine "what we do if it's wack... "

any ideas?

"it can be something that saves your from yourself, your thoughts, your life, your world."

O. 4 times.

D. Song #2: Before the first time one hopes to fall from grace, add up the number of separate instances a male appears to issue a count-off.

Sneaker Pimps - Six Underground

innitiates countoff 3 times. first falling from grace is heard at about 57 sec.

EDIT: listened again...each time he initiates, he says 1..2 1..2 1..2 not sure if i am supposed to count each time he says that or not. because if thats the case...then its 9. :S

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

J. Song #7: # of times the song title is mentioned.

Nine Inch Nails-down in it

said at the end of each chorus... 4 times total.

G. Song #9: Total # of instances that the # in this song's title is mentioned.

One, by Metallica is mentioned once.

G. One

Edit: I got the lyrics from Lyrcis on Demand. I assume they are right, but I don't know if all of the repeats are listed.

romanceismusic · Post by **romanceismusic** » Thu Nov 16, 2006 3:22 am

more often than not lyric sites are incorrect and/or dont put repeats in.

try searching on myspace and such so you can listen and follow along.

At the end of the first decoded message which came from the craigslist page, it says "All done with that part? Redirect to what we do if it's wack... " Well, thanks to deagol, we figured out this was a figure of speech: "If it's wack, put it back" so we then checked out http://putitback.redirectme.net which took us to another craigslist page with more color codes. Using the same process as before: Hex->ASCII->Base64 we got the following message:

U. Divide A by B, and then subtract C.
V. Multiply D squared by E, and then add F.
X. X equals G.
Y. Subtract I from H, then divide the remainder by J.
Z. Add M to N, then separately add O, P, and Q. Multiply the two totals. Subtract *that* total from the sum of adding K to L.

Work it.

Lay it down "UVZXY"
Then flip it (or reverse it).

F. Song #8: Total the # of times her numerical worth is mentioned.

Smashing Pumpkins - Zero:
- Zero is said 1 time.[/url]
