Where are ya when I need ya?? 19... still the morse code one? translate the morse code. you should get a couple of things you'll recognise. (using spaces to not spoil the clue) _ _ _ _ _ _. and ._ _ _ If you put the two together (minus one . ) and put it in the URL instead of the .html, then you'll download a .doc. copy and paste what's in the doc into a notepad, use nowrap, scroll to see the white space. it spells something. I did. I decoded the first morse code, and entered that into the browser which led me to all those A's, B's, etc. I copied that into notepad, no wrap - nothing. I translated it back into morse code, copied that into notepad, nowrap, nothing. I figured out that the spaces are going to spell out the next page, but no matter what resolution, no matter how small I make it to get it non-wrapped, I'm still not seeing it. try using a fixed width font like courier. Don't try to "no wrap" it yourself. If you do that, you will probaby take out the spaces automatically. Do what you're doing and paste the alphabet letters and ?'s into a notepad.txt. Click format and click "word wrap" so that it unchecks. That should let you scroll right to see the whole clue. OMG - Courier did it - do you have ANY idea how many freakin times I've been staring at this freakin' thing??? Thanks, Kate - you're my hero |

What twisted person thought those up? jeff weff, apparently. he's absolutely brilliant...... and a whole lot scary, to have been able to work up something like this. of course, i peeked at the first panel of the second batch, and i can tell I just let myself in for another 30 levels of torment sigh cause my first stab at solving the first one was obviously not right (I hate 404 errors almost as much as I hate Mike - the co worker) |
