[PUZZLE][SOLVED] 12-01 Beating Stalin

FallingIntoSin · Post by **FallingIntoSin** » Fri Dec 01, 2006 10:11 am

Okay the file is not a photo, it's rar, the boys are still trying to open it. Per Surrealistpill the character Stalin is in the movie Better of Dead (that was quoted on T's profile). There seems to be another layer of encryption to the file. The extra encryption doesn't seem to be hex or base64. (And no I have no idea what that stuff is, I'm just reposting from the chat, laugh).

The smart people are in the chat *grin* J/K.
Ah, I mentioned Keanu but I didn't know about his band.

I can't get into chat, work blocks that stuff.

I'll try to keep the boards updated from the chat so that you can help out (and others who can't chat).

That would be great since not everyone does or can go there, thanks!

If we go the Keanu tangent for mid 90's, how about Johnny Mneumonic?

In 2021, the whole world is connected by the gigantic Internet, and almost a half of the population is suffering from the Nerve Attenuation Syndrome (NAS).Johnny with an inplanted memory chip in his brain was ordered to transport the over loaded information from Beijing to Newark. While Pharmakom Industries supported by yakuza tries to capture him to get the informaiton back, the Low-tech group led by J-Bone tries to break the missing code to download the cure of NAS which Johnny carries.

Okay per Acid: The file Hex -> Base64 -> Binary but is now encrypted in a other code that is all letters and lower-case numbers. It may be a public code encryption. Here is the code:

We REALLY need help with this encryption, if anyone is good at this, please let us know, if you can't get into chat, email me at [email protected] and I'll relay.

Bagged always means something with Tachyon or Brother (10033).

What does:

Bagged like my favorite character in Mallrats

mean in the subject line of the Craigslist post?

Knowing Mallrats...dumped, maybe?

hm the only thing i can think of right now is the bag of chocolate covered pretzels that brodie gives to brandis dad, the really angry tv show guy.

brodie stuck his hand down the back of his pants and rubbed it all over the melty pretzels so that when brandis dad ate them (rather greedily), he got sick.

brandis dad is a pretty hilarious character.

i havent watched this movie in like a year though so i might be off.

Brodie bagged his comic books.

But no idea what means like previous "double bagged" clues, etc.

What other characters could be someone's favorite in Mallrats?

It's all about Brodie!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hex_(TV_series)

Hex appears superficially to be a standard teen soap with gothic or supernatural overlays, but the overarching plot is difficult to summarize thanks to an unexpected twist introduced early in the second series. From its outset, Hex appears to be the story of Cassie Hughes, a beautiful but withdrawn young woman who enrolls at the school but can't quite seem to fit into the social milieu. The second series twist forces the viewer to realize that Cassie was never the heroine of the series, but merely a pawn in the schemes of the villains, and her role is overshadowed and replaced by that of an entirely new character, Ella Dee, who may be the true heroine of the show or may be merely another piece in a larger scheme.
kind of like the cassie thing that led to this.

Maybe Cassie is tachyon's "sister" that some people were talking about before?

Explain the tie-in here.

Double bagged before meant something was encoded twice, etc.

Just checkin'.

I don't know about the doubled bagged...the link just says 'bagged'...and I was just trying to see what it meant in this reference.

Also, after refreshing myself on wiki...there was a guy who spends all his time trying to see the Sailboat in a Magic Eye pic. Eye. Sailboat. Probably nothing.

Maybe it's the movie Speed:
