Yeah, but how??? http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif

I can't pinpoint it in the trailor, or in the demo, unless its when the journal machine is up, don't remember if the site used the theme...

...and grid??

[brilers]

Not the Myst 4 theme, the Myst 1 theme.

My intitial thought was something along the lines of:
<pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre">eqssms01zkaafnnzkb1
getting</pre>
and working the rest of the text out from there... that would mean that e was g, q was e, s was t, etc... but if you put in 'all five' it doesn't work. http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif

Since it says first get all five I went to the post on 5 pieces .. there a picture there with a green letter T on one of the boxes.

[LazerFX]

I'm at work, so I can't actually work on this puzzle, but is it possible that something like my preivous post (A transpositional reference) is possible with that grid... something like:
<pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre">BEGIN
WITHG

Hmmm... doesn't quite fit... perhaps there's something there? Also, has anyone looked at the ID3 tag on that MP3, is there anything in that? as I said, I can't from here...

[highwaykind]

ID3 tag is :
Author : revelationist
Album : Week two

I've tried the eqssms...jpg that's not it, but it's possible the mystbook.jpg was the ?.jpg ?

I'll put the one.mp3 in audition for slowing down, reversion ..maybe that gets us somewhere ?

[brilers]

Yeah, I think mystbook.jpg is the ?.jpg that is referred to in the sound byte.

Have you guys seen the Mystworlds site, those of us from the Five Pieces puzzle have our name in lights http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif Also, there was this:

10 New winners will be selected each week for 4 weeks, at the end of which, all 40 winners will be placed into a random draw for a "Grand Prize". Good luck this week!

Does that mean that we can't win more than one puzzle? Or maybe because all of the puzzles will get the same 10 T-shirts at the end...

Anyway, back on topic - I'm gonna wait to see if Revelationist posts a second clue today... that'll tell us if we need to solve something else with the first one or just wait for all five to come in.

No clues in the music, reversed it, slowed it down, inverted it.. nothing.
Time to get my 10th anniversary DVD set out of the closet and hunt down that track.. what do I see when I hear what I hear ?

[AFGNCAAP]

I don't think there are any subliminal messages in the clip. It plays in the opening movie of Myst and you see the Myst Book when that particular piece plays.

Probably refers to this (http://www.revelationist.com/two/mystbook.jpg) jpg.

So now the only puzzle left is the eqssms01zkaafnnzkb1 ?

( oh, and just to be sure - I live in the Netherlands..if I'm really lucky and suddenly crack that code I've been puzzling on for the past 2 hours I can win a T-shirt, or is it USA only ? )

TWO (http://www.revelationist.com/two/two.mp3)

[Zardoz]

You are here:

http://www.revelationist.com/two/amateria.jpg

I wonder if the "order" is established by the numbers? Can't be anagrams, not enough vowels. And the "n" sequence is problematic - is there an English word with the same letter three consecutive times?

----------------------------
Brain and brain, what is brain? You are not Zardoz! You are not Zard0z!!

[brilers]

So, we've got

"BEGIN WITH GETTING ALL FIVE, PUT IT ALL IN ORDER"

----------
The mystFoundry (http://myst.idyastudios.com/)

[StarScrap]

Remember that it might not be a simple cypher. If it is a cypher the "n"s might not all be the same letter once it's uncoded. And on top of that, there might be spaces in there.

________________________________________________

Different does not mean better or worse. It just means NOT THE SAME.

[LazerFX]

*ponders*

So...

We have:

I wanted to BEGIN WITH an idea...
GETTING it was easy...
Then ALL I had to to do was prepare...
And now I'm ready with FIVE clues...

PUTting the solution together is easy...
IT is simple as pie...
Not ALL will figure it out IN time tho...
Use method and ORDER to do it...

<pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre">eqssms01zkaafnnzkb1
0n3n2annn0h1dn0d0rh</pre>

IT is simple as pie...
3.1415926535897932384626433832795... I wonder if 'simple as pie' has anything to do with the answer. Pi is often used in conjunction with circles - a code circle, maybe?

Use method and ORDER to do it.
Does this mean that we have to re-arrange the text? Perhaps that is what the numbers in the text are for - we have to use 'n' of that particular sequence?

Unfortunately, until we get further clues, this is looking particularly puzzling; yet, I get the mental feeling that I could just - nearly - touch the answer... that I've seen something like this before.

Damn my poor mental facilities.

i think they are talking about visual order like the first one will be first and the 2nd one last.. as the first one is at the top and the 2nd one is at the bottom

and if he meant pi he would have said pi instead of pie so i doubt that

So did you guys just use the music clues to get the filenames of the cluesheets? If so, this isn't very useful, but anyway.
Those 2 themes we've heard so far aren't directly from any Myst game - they've been made up.
However they do have similar themes to:
1. The Myst 1 Myst Island flyby,
2. The main Myst 3 Amateria theme.

But I guess they aren't useful anymore since you already found the codesheets... http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif

I was just looking at the Amateria picture again, and noticed that the words "together" "as" "it out" and "order" have a green shadow, while the rest of the words have a grey shadow. Could this mean something?

I can't find any differences in the shadows on the Myst Book image, so this may or may not be related to the solution http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif

I haven't tried it with the MystBook.mp3, but the reason you don't immediately recognize the Amateria mp3 is because it's backwards (and distorted).

wosborne2002, I could be wrong, but I think the green shadow is just because the background behind those words are greenish...

I was just thinking, maybe letters such as I and T from Then (from the mystbook image) are also to be considered when it comes to "BEGIN WITH GETTING..." Maybe after some order changing it could make some sense... who knows...

What might be the significance of 'Grid' when taken in conjunction with the series of letters/numbers we have been given so far?

I'm not a math/programming/html/code afficianado, so I can't really take it any further than that. It just strikes me that the use of the word Grid would not be an accident...

Good call, Astroman, and welcome to the forum! I hadn't thought of that. You could be right...

I was noticing that it says "WHAT the numbers mean?" instead of "WHAT do the numbers mean?" Maybe it means something, maybe not. I tend to think Astroman is right, but the placement is screwy if we read left to right. I somehow think it won't be that easy.....

Putting the solution together is easy
it's simple as pie
Not all will figure it out in time tho
Use method and order to do it

Can you make it to the end
The letters never were themselves...
What the numbers mean ?
They were symbols...

It's simple as pie - does that mean we have to read the grid in a circle ?.
( is that a common expression by the way ? Living in the Netherlands has it disadvantages..for one that Revelationist posts at 1 am when I'm asleep..grumble ).

[highwaykind]

eqssms01zkaafnnzkb1
vk0h0g0qy5dhodsmvkh

so if the numbers are ./?, .... ( and if you don't have to read in a circle..) the interesting parts are
0h0g0qy5
andthe complete last line
0n3n2annn0hldn0d0rh

h and g has to be 'I' or 'a' qy 'to''it''or' 'of' or something.
Have to remember D'ni has a symbol in it...

the only "word" with three the same letters in a row that I can think of is www. (a nnn0 ) but then the a is extra..
in the bottom line the n is I or a, the h and d as well.. doesn't fit !

[matt myat]

[Edit: removed my reiterations of the texts and codes - grr higwaykind.. http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/images/smiley/35.gif]

I think numbers are probably punctuation and maybe the zeros are even spaces. But as Revelationist says, I don't think this is the actual order of the letters.

begin with getting all five
put it all in order
make the letters what they were

Perhaps at the end Revlationist will give us a "grid" to put the letters in order?

[This message was edited by matt myat on Thu August 19 2004 at 01:18 AM.]

[TheThunder55]

[speculative random guess alert]

putting them all in order could mean stacking them, based on their position on the clue page, while grid could mean that after the clues are put in order, they will read something on a grid, like up to down, or down to up.

I dont think we can start anything until we have all five of the 'codes'

So there was an idea, it took a while to think how to set it up, and now Revelationist has got all the clues ready and will realease them (or has??)

The answer is easy (and something to do with pie) but is hidden maybe in plain sight, (importance of the spelling tho???) we need a methodical way of solving it

can we make it to the end...hmm maybe theres some more hidden somewhere, a path? the leeters never where themselves....is it maybe that the clues begin with getting all five etc have the next cluews hidden inside them? and what symbols can this mean....

and so ends my first few thoughs on looking at this... *runs away to analyse it more*

I too think we first have to get all the codes ( which is probably why Revelationist posts one every day ? ) and them we get the "grid" , or the order of the sentences ( not jetuser and I wrote the sentences not in the order of appearance of the picture but in the order top-&gt;down when you overlay the pics..)

I think we probably need to read them in a circle form because of the pie?

I've noticed the spelling of tho, but figured there wasn't enough room for though (unless he/she adjusted the font size ...)

Isn't there some software to download a complete domain ( eg www.revelationist.com (http://www.revelationist.com) http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif )?

use order and method...I think I'll try order.jpg and method.jpg now...

â"One from the beginningâ"� and â"one from the endâ"�: the beginning and end of each line? The beginning (top) and end (bottom) of each column? â"One step awayâ"� probably means this is a two step cipher: The letters are out of order, and these instructions tell us how to get them into the right order. Then we have to decipher the re-arranged letters. But the numbers - they may be easy, but their meanings still escape me.

BEGIN WITH GETTING ALL FIVE
PUT IT ALL IN ORDER
MAKE THE LETTERS WHAT THEY WERE
DISCOVER THE MEANING OF NUMBERS



I wanted to begin with an idea
getting it was easy
Then all I had to do was prepare
And now I'm ready with five clues

Putting the solution together is easy
it's simple as pie
Not all will figure it out in time tho
Use method and order to do it

Can you make it to the end
The letters never were themselves...
What the numbers mean ?
They were symbols...

The letters ... Discover how to read them.
TAKE ONE FROM THE BEGINNING
THEN ONE FROM THE END
The meaning will still elude you ( where the hell is my dictionary.. what does elude mean? )
You'll be but one step away tho ( again, THO...)
And of course numbers will be easy

well he might mean beginning of the row and the end or the first and last line
also maybe the numbers tell us how to change the lines like first line has 4 and the 2nd has a 5

I dont think so...seeing as it says in the clues that the numbers are symbols...which means more then likey they are punctuation...

wondering if "http://www." might be in there...

[Zardoz]

If the numbers are punctuation, then it seems likely that "0" is a space, as it occurs 12 times so far. "1" might be a quotation mark or a parenthesis, as it occurs twice in succession, indicating a punctuation mark that comes in a pair. (Strictly speaking, this would argue against parentheses, as they come as a left and right parenthesis, whereas you can use the " for both left and right.) The other numbers appear (so far) only once, so they might be : or ; or / or something like those.

Still, what they are and where they go are two different questions. If we are supposed to pick letters from beginnings and ends, this will disrupt the relation between the letters and the numbers. Hmmmmmm . . . .

If 0 is a space, then that would make (at least) 4 one-letter words in the whole puzzle, and there's only 2 in english. Unless there's a different cipher for each line. Also 0 and 1 are next to each other in the first line, and I've never seen a punctuation mark right after a space.

That's a good point, but it may not be a problem if we end up discarding most of the letters. The instructions to take one from the beginning and one from the end may be pointing to a way of selecting a subset of the letters, which could solve that. Of course, that means we could start the deciphering by taking one of the one-letter segments and assigning it "a" or "i", and then seeing what that does to the other letters.

[TheTian]

I think what Zardoz is saying is likely right, in combination with reading vertically rather than horizontally...then, we wouldn't be looking at 4 different 1-letter words

I have tried deciphering based on frequency of apparation of letters in english, but with one line missing, and likely some vertical shifting necessary as suggested by jetuser, it's not making much sense.

no actually its more than that ... the line you cracked was rearranged so.. i tried a rot on both versions and got nothing and it might not just be 1

also it seems to me that the line that was just cracked needs to be last

i had a thought maybe the numbers tell you how to rearange them cuz the line that was cracked was reaaranged by taking one letter from the beginning and the end and putting it in a new line it occured to me that all numbers were 0 except for 5 which was at the end.. so i was thinking that the numbers above 0 tell you to put a different letter in its place possibly

-----------------------------
Washington Webteam
http://crwash.org

Jet - I don't think so ; I rearranged them because the picture said take one from the beginning, then one from the end. Which is what I did, then I caesar ciphered it.. the 0 has to be a space ( as the clue says the numbers are symbols) and I assume the 5 is a ! .( exclamation mark - I misspelled that in my previous post http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif )

I'm still puzzling on the rest though. Also tried the letter frequency thing ( which doesn't really help me because I don't know what letters are most frequent normally http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif ) but I think the final clue will make things clearer...hope that will be posted at a time that I'm awake at !

assuming highwaykind is right, the first line has a 10-letter word...the one that rushes to mind is, of course, revelation, but the letter pattern doesn't fit

anyone think of any other appropriate 10-letter word that suits the topic of the message? breaking that word will likely break the rest of the first line...

Just so you know, there's a bit of a typo in one of the clues. It doesn't really matter much anyway since it's obvious what it's supposed to be once decoded. In the Mystbook hint, that last character is supposed to be the letter L, not a 1.

Well since I really doubt I will be around to see the finished work happen I can give another hint.

Can you look at the strings (including the partial I have given which is the 4th code) and see a way to get those letters in the ORDER using the same consistant METHOD?

The solution is to to take a letter from the first clue and then last clue and so forth till you get to the middle of the middle clue

Then you shift all the letters back by one ie a = b and z = a, then plug the correct letters in.

Aww, the soundtrack? Anyone want to trade the soundtrack for a T-shirt? http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/images/smiley/16x16_smiley-tongue.gif http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/images/smiley/16x16_smiley-very-happy.gif http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/images/smiley/16x16_smiley-wink.gif

So... anyone who GOT a tee... what does it look like? IF it's greenish khaki-ish like color then I have it... if not http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/images/smiley/cry.gif

And if the new people are getting cds, is it Revelations soundtrack or is it URU? http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif

Anyhow... just butting my nose in. http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

Damn! I've been off the computer since late Thursday, and was only on for a very short time http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif

I wanted to win this so bad... I'd even brushed up on the various forms of code cracking (I now sort of understand ZIP compression too - the numbers gave me the idea it might be kind of compressed, as opposed to encrypted)...

Only just got in from work, and it's already been and cracked and done http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif

Revelationist - can we have something with A) a few more winners, or B) at a more reasonable time for us UK/European peeps? Please?

Oh well, here's hoping for next week http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif

Join the club... I"m stuck at work 8 to 5 today and dont' get on too much since I work at a University and I tend to be busy with all the people asking for account resets and the like. http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif

Well I don't mind buying stuff when it comes out but I like to win stuff too. Helps with the expenses. Guess I can't complain... Hey MRM... is the tee from the last contest like the one at Toronto?

Ok... almost time to go home... http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/images/smiley/53.gif My brain is so fried... been doing the same thing all day over and over and over and over... AAAAAAAAAH! http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/images/smiley/35.gif

A supervisor made up a list of things to tell our bosses about how much we do that belongs to other depts.

HEY! http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif anyone going to tell me which tshirt they won for the last contest or post a pic or something?

I have no clue about the shirts. I haven't even gotten an email about where to send my address to...Strange....

[brilers]

I haven't yet received my T-shirt ... though I did get the "tell us where to send it to" e-mail. When I do get it, I'll take some pictures if no one else has yet.

And my offer still stands, swap t-shirt for soundtrack - especially since there won't be a Collector's Edition here in NA http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Who's getting a soundtrack? I thought the only prize for this was a t-shirt.

It took four days before Kha'tie asked for my address. Probably has to do with the weekend.

The prize for this second week's puzzle is the Myst4 soundtrack.

Well, if that's the case I'll trade my shirt for a soundtrack too if anyone's interested.

If things keep going like this, they'll be giving away 10 copies of the game for the last prize! hehe

Zane, please email me at KEPostma at Ubi dot com. I'm missing one address for the t-shirts.

Lessa - the t-shirt is the one you got at Mysterium. http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/images/smiley/16x16_smiley-happy.gif

Well brilers, it looks like shirts like the rest of us. No soundtracks.

What are the chances of getting the soundtrack signed? http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[Khatie_]

Aliyn, if you want it signed you can write to sales at cyan dot com and ask them if it's possible to mail it to them, have it signed, then have them send back. I know fans who have done this with success. http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/images/smiley/16x16_smiley-happy.gif

[Khatie_]

The prize I believe is an URU soundtrack but I could be wrong... I will double check and make sure and then post here.

Revelationist and I might have gotten our wires crossed... http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/images/smiley/16x16_smiley-sad.gif

[Geonosis]

But wouldn't it be quite.. strange if the Uru Soundtrack is the prize of a puzzle, which was posted in the "Myst IV Revelation" forum..? http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif
I thought I'd get the Myst IV soundtrack after reading Revelationist's mail, though I wouldn't complain about getting the Uru Soundtrack http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif But the Myst IV Soundtrack would be more.. appropriate. It would be great if you could check whether it'll be the Myst IV or Uru soundtrack...

[TheThunder55]

I dont even know if they've finished the M4 soundtrack yet, it usually apears after the game comes out.

But i wouldnt complain to see the Haven theme on CD http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/images/smiley/16x16_smiley-happy.gif ! That was my favorite track so far.

But the Myst IV Soundtrack is part of the Collectors' Edition of Myst IV, isn't it? So it has to be ready when the game is released, what isn't that far off http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

That'd be funny to get an Uru soundtrack signed by Jack Wall.
