Oh, it wasn't started here. I think it was in some old gaming usenet message board years ago. Although I might be confusing it with some other such legendary internet meme.

Then, add 24, multiply by 5, add 26, and not sure about ThanX.
Well, I still haven't figured out the solution to the riddle, and Deagol's partial solutions are probably correct... but when I first saw the riddle my reactions were:

"take an infamous comment" ... first appearance of 436

shall we call in the cavalry now that all the base are belong to you already?

deagol · Post by **deagol** » Thu Jun 28, 2007 11:12 am

So 436 + 24 = 460
460 * 5 = 2300
2300 + 26 = 2326
and now? ThanX?

Great find!
The riddle is starting to make sense now!

Ever see "Option A" "Option B" "Option C" Option D"
from the Ho0 before?

~stingray

Ok, in the most recent video, 008 (no thread yet) Kris is quoted as saying "Option D done." (I will post how I got that in that thread, once it's created).

Since his last mission involved killing some girl, I think Option D stands for "Destroy" (as in the old APHID acronym). This would imply that Option A stands for "Analyze."

"All Your Base Are Belong To Us!"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_your_b ... long_to_us

LOL

Reminds me of "Do Not Want!" Which is what Darth Vader was translated as saying instead of "Noooo!" when Luke jumped away from him in ESB.

Back to the riddle:
take an infamous comment
and add one day
multiply a pentagram
add the roman alphabet
I received big hint that deagol was correct with this adding to 2326

what do you get with ThanX?

I believe the key is ThanX - notice the uppercase

Any ideas? Does it convert from Ascii to HEX and mean anything or some other type of conversion?

deagol · Post by **deagol** » Fri Jun 29, 2007 3:00 pm

Wow I was right? good to know.

ThanX (hex) = 54 68 61 6e 58
ThanX (decimal) = 84 104 97 110 88

Maybe 2326 added with those other numbers makes a phone number. I looked up US area codes for some of those and didn't find anything. London is +44, not there either.

Londonfiles is off to the tennis court - hmmm

Not just any tennis court. That's Wimbledon.

deagol,
can you show what you mean by "makes a phone number"?

How do you come up with the numbers?
What numbers?

I dobt the clue would be a number to call. More like another hex string to convert.

Thanks!

deagol · Post by **deagol** » Fri Jun 29, 2007 3:20 pm

Ok like, 2326 and the 54 68 61 6e 58 from the hex (232-654-6861), but there's too many digits for a phone number. Yeah I doubt that would work.

2326 from hex into ascii becomes the characters "#&"

I'm not sure how to combine them either way.

Warning!!!

This could be the wrong direction!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanks

The word "thanx" might have originated before the internet however. It appears in the booklet in the album Keeper of the Seven Keys Part 1 by Helloween. This album was released in 1987.

I didn't want to post this, because I think the captial T and X mean something. Where this link doesn't show any T or X.

Anyway, 2326 + 1987 2326 * 1987. Any answers many anything to anyone?

nope. your friends have been in front of this door many times before. some information is not meant to be shared, yet some stories are meant to be told.

in japan they say a wise man will climb mount fuji once, the fool will climb it twice. it might be wise yet foolish to take the same road twice. it only depends on what you're looking for at the end of the journey.
