| Some word in YWYEFNPLOXNG? Or 24221201316151231319? I tried hard and I am not very good at code-breaking, so it isnt probably right, but its my guess! |

| You noticed and a will level skills option of locations you wish.
(I got this by taking the indicated word from each of the pages in the manual in a spiral pattern.)
Not bad, but I don't think it is right. |

| Ok, hers my guess.. prob overthought.. but here we go anyway..
First, I assigned each letter of the English alphabet a number in increasing order (as this is an English game).
A=1
B=2
C=3
D=4
E=5
F=6
G=7
H=8
I=9
J=10
K=11
L=12
M=13
N=14
O=15
P=16
Q=17
R=18
S=19
T=20
U=21
V=22
W=23
X=24
Y=25
Z=26
I tried it as a continual loop of number, assigning A the values of 1 and 27 (to wrap around for higher numbers), but that made no sense...as you can see...
25 11 54 34 35 42 63 62 15 23 66 32
y..k..r..h..i..p..k..j..o..w..y..f = ykrhipkjowyf
Next, I tried it by breaking each number pair down and usig the letters that corresponded to each number - but that was silly as well since no letters beyond I would be used...
be aa ed cd ce db fc fb ae bc ff cb
I then subtracted each pair of two digit numbers to obtain a result and matched that to the letter number assignments-accounting for counting backwards for negative numbers and absolute values I arrived at 'NT GASH', NT GAHH', NT TASH' and 'NT TAHH' - although humourous out of context - I still did not feel this was what you were looking for.
25-11;54-34;35-42;63-62;15-23;66-32
#14...#20...#-7...#1....#-8...#34
N.....T.....T/G...A.....S/H...H..........= NT GASH
So, I did a little research into computer codes and found...
25 11 54 34 35 42 63 62 15 23 66 32
Nothing matched to anything I know of in computer memory code, nor in web color hex codes.
I did find some interesting articles online when searching for triple sets of the above numbers...
25 11 54 = Limitations of running a slide show in PowerPoint 2000 on Windows Terminal Server @ http://support.microsoft.com/kb/251154
34 35 42 = OSTI Energy Citations @ http://www.osti.gov/energycitations/product.biblio.jsp?osti_id=343542
63 62 15 = Canadian patent for an autmatic parking meter @ http://patents1.ic.gc.ca/details?patent_number=636215
23 66 32 = A Red Hat build bug @ https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-perl-devel-list/2007-April/msg00052.html
So... although I am fairly confident that none of the above are the correct answer and I doubt that the sumation of these numbers would equal how many GP's or number of items I might receive for posting this... lol!
Very intersting, I will have to yield on this one.. Thanks for the fun teaser though! *wonders if the codes contain the meaning of life or a good tax deduction loophole at least* |
