I checked out the mars one and it has a sound file you have to speed up, it's a familiar tune but I'm not sure what its from. Is anyone else still playing?

>>15318484
Yes

>>15318344

Same here. Stuck.

>>15318186
and what the fuck is "home page source"

>>15318633
stuck here

>>15316199
stuck on this part
what are you supposed to do?

>>15319612
i know its something about details but i dont know where to put it

>>15318344
>>15318823
Those flags are clearly fotoshoped, and they're clearly navigation flags.

>>15318633
The source said to "turn it up, of course" so I tried to first speed the wav up and then later to increase its pitch. Couldn't tell anything from it though.

>>15318344
it says kamikaze

>>15319612
Same. How do?

>>15319697
Tried increasing the image brightness in photoshop. Nothing. Maybe someone with gimp(what the guy uses) can do better?

There used to be a thing in source on page 2 saying u - munnich and p - mason but now it appears to have gone when I went back.

>>15319772
it was on the homepage, not 2

>>15318906
View the page source. This seems like an arg...or something, this is a little bizarre.

Type /hint for hints yo,

btw what is that thumbnailview.png shit, I tried download the image, put it in a folder, and play around with the small icon, list and "details ", still cant find shit

is it down?

>>15319807
Stuck here too

>>15319894

How the hell do I solve this shit?

I tried to search on the source code, but evertting I tried so far didn't work :/

At least give me a non.shitty hint

>>15319930
look at the first line of the source code

>>15319942
Ok so there is a year? This riddle has really zero logic behind it...

>>15319942

Typed 1945 and went to a different one. (I tried this because I saw the pic of the WW2 soldiers)

I think I might have f*cked up

>>15319958
that's the correct one

>>15319967
Funny, it doesn't work for me

>>15319972
Disregard that, I suck cocks.

>>15319967

I went fuck it and tried with the columbus one2

>>15319993
yeah same here. I did the mars one, and I sped up thesignal.wav and it's some song that sounds familiar but I can't identify it.

>>15319675
Military alphabet; ie, Tango, Charlie, that kind of shit. The first letter from each of the navigational flags...I'm guessing here, but I'm giving it a shot.

"Kenawun mos posekinsu monchu pasoche mehtug."

Can you guys recognize that from anywhere? Or at least tell me if it's a language or something?

I'm also searching for someone who died in 1622 "as a traitor"... I already searched on wikipedia but nothing so far

>>15320020

Care to upload the audio somewhere?

>>15320029
it could be an anagram or encrypted if its not a language

>>15320041

Check the file name of the main 1624 page
Search it on google
Get awesome results

>>15320025
See
>>15319704

>>15320060
Tried that, did nothing

>>15320048

Okay, so far I know that guy has something to do with it

And the language in the page is spoken by that guy

But It just doesn't match!

>>15320048
the columbus one goes to http://www.notthefuture.com/mason/1624/silkroad/
its bubonic plague but it wants a different name for it
i tried black death/plague and yersinia pestis but nothing

>>15320087
gave up on the 1945 one, and im stuck where you're at too. i cant think of any other plagues that we're killing people like crazy back then...really... o.O

>>15320087

Sourcecode is your friend

>>15318633

I'm on that one, and I'm messing around with the audio file in audacity (since the hint said to turn it up, which by itself did nothing except make it louder) and... I dunno. I tried turning the tempo up to max and messing around with the bass, treble, etc., I can hear what sound like words, but I cannot for the life of me make out what they're saying.

I then tried removing all the extra noise and isolating the stuff that sounds like voices, but it's so distorted that I can't make it out. "5 7 8 9?" Or am I mishearing it, or did I fuck up at editing the audio, or do I just have the wrong idea completely?

>>15320106
it doesnt give me anything, it just says

<title>Almost</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../../../style.css"/>
<center><font size="36"><br/><br/>Another name</font></center>

>>15320107
Im doing the same thing, a noise removal only increases the static...run it through a spectrograph? Sometimes you can actually hide image data in a sound. Aphex twin was famous for doing that.

>>15320107

Goddammit why do I have to suck so much at anagrams?

I can't even begin to imagine what it's anagram for...and that's a russian plane in the image if I'm not mistaken o.O

>>15320087
its black death mate
remember to type it in 1 word instead of silkroad

How is there a picture of Mars from the year 1776?

>>15320252
>>15320271

Wait a minute. On second thought, I don't think it's an anagram. It's encrypted, but I don't know fucking anything about decoding ciphers.

>>15320289
I know someone who did cryptography for the military years back, I dunno if I can contact them at the moment however.

>>15320288
~*ancient aliens*~

>>15320277
oh, yeah
i got to the one with the guys last wish and ran it through google translate
it says he wants to be buried with people who died from the plague but i dont know how to put that into 1 or 2 words

>>15320319
im stuck on that one too, the filename is lorem ipsum, which means filler text.
so according to the filename it should basically be gibberish

>>15320319
what language was it in?

>>15320319
alright so i just typed "burial" and it worked but
>Kenawun mos posekinsu monchu pasoche mehtug.
i think its in like some native american thing

>>15320362
its in latin, just flip the page around
>Apparuit diabolus. Familia et amici dicesserunt moriuntur homines foris. Quaeso, adiuvo me, Date mihi possessionem Sepultura vobiscum.

>>15320364
i went to some native american language site and looked up the word mehtug which led me to this
http://www.bigorrin.org/waabu11.htm
typing mehtug instead of burial says in english. so we have to find the english word for mehtug

>>15320364

It's the Massachusetts/Wampanoag language. Unfortunately, I barely know a word of it. If it helps though, the language does have a SVO word order, like English.

>>15320433

Mehtug means a tree. "Kenawun mos" is like "we will". The rest of the words I have no idea.

>>15320433
it's "tree"
the page it leads to says simulation ended and doesnt give any hints so maybe that path is completed?

let's try the mars one now, seems spooky
also OP where'd you find this site?
http://www.notthefuture.com/mason/1776/

>>15320503
alright so they're batteries and the next riddle has this audio file
the source code implies its martian language so i sped it up in audacity but all i got was an admittedly funky song: http://soundgasm.net/u/diaperhead/thesignal

>>15320544
you should slow it down

>>15317711
Same /b/roseph

>>15320557
it was really slow on the page to the point where you couldn't make out anything
here it is sped up a little less: http://soundgasm.net/u/diaperhead/the-signal-2

>>15320582

well in the source code it says
<!--They must speak a lot slower than us-->
which pretty much indicates we're supposed to slow it down

>>15320607

I thought the implication was that they speak a lot slower than us, so we need to speed it up to understand them.

>>15320213
OK, the filename is vigenere, an encrypting method that uses a password (Japan), when you put the code you get "precolonial nexus", any idea?

>>15320271
It may be, Precolonial Nexus is an anagram for nuclear explosion. In 1949, USSR detonated its first atomic bomb

>>15320503
It was on puzzles subreddit

>>15320975
Nuclear Explosion is an anagram for precolonial nexus

>http://www.notthefuture.com/mason/1949/nuclearexplosion/

http://www.notthefuture.com/mason/4352/

>>15321161

Well yeah, we need to get the username, password, "future" and something else. We need all four things, so we need to complete all four... simulations? Timelines? Whatever they're called.

>>15321169

For reference, I've done 1624 and 1776, and am currently on 1258. So far I've got

>password:pestis
>future:4352

>>15321169

<!--0 means don't use-->

There are four hidden codes in the source, but I don't think that they're binary.

>>15321175

Wait actually, no, scratch that. I haven't done 1776. I've done 1624 and 1945.

>>15321175
>am currently on 1258
I'm having real with proceeding from "boar". Something about finding the source of the image? What does that even mean, find the place the picture was taken from, or find something in the source code of the image?

>>15321275

Just figured it out. Open the image in notepad. Look at the very last bit of text.

>>15321283
I'm just getting a bunch of gibberish. How exactly do you "open it in notepad"? Save it as a .txt or something?

>>15321323
Wait, never mind. Fucking hell, that's hard to get.

Now all we need to do is figure out that damn signal mystery. But no matter how much I mutilate the audio file in audacity, I get nothing.

>>15316199
what do you do when it says click something? The hint is "its one of the computers"

>>15321349
The hint says "not tempo, speed". Not quite sure what that means. Could someone just speed the whole damn thing up a couple of hundred hertz?

>>15321528

Tried that. That just makes it fast.

>>15321563
...huh. Can you upload that to somewhere so we can pore over it some more?

We have two codes already, idaltu from 1258 is the other one.

And if you remember the source code of 4352 >>15321176 there are a series of 1 and 0 which represent each letter of each code. idaltu would be "atu" and pestis "pes"; we only need 1776.

>>15321817
maybe try this? (the frequency of the noises in the .wav would become letters):
http://www.math.cornell.edu/~mec/2003-2004/cryptography/subs/frequencies.html

>>15321874
It's the random static-y sounding bit at the end that gets me, though. What does that have to do with the rest of it?

>>15321791
abcd aa abcd b bcdb aa ccd are notes

>>15321915
Yes, and the audio that plays on the page is those notes, albeit sounding rather close to the names of the letters.

>>15316199
I just used google to skip to http://www.notthefuture.com/mason/1624/silkroad/
did i win?

>>15321925
Nope. We're still working on it. Congratulations, you cheated and didn't even do it right. Now, do you have sound manipulation software so that we can get you to futz around with noises?

>>15321923
what with the hint
"cab could be abcaca"

>>15321937
also, in the source code:

"ignore the space"
"ignore the order"

>>15321950
each letter is an addition of the 2 letters
so c = a+b a = c - a

>>15321958
maybe....?

>>15321958
so, b = ca = a?

CAB Could Be Abcaca could mean something?

>>15321958
Adding the code at the bottom together doesn't get me anything helpful, though.
"c g b c g d g a d g"
(Spaces between letters for ease of reading.)

>>15321975
thecapitalized letters could be what need to be deciphered, if it has to do with music I'll help, I'm a Music composition major, and theory is my thing.

>>15321985
maybe its chained, like ab=c bc=e??

>>15321995
I think we're going about this the wrong way. "CAB could be abcaca" might be hinting at initialisation of the words in the sentence. If so, we're missing something huge.

Also, has anyone looked at the static-y bit at the end of the audio yet? That's a bit we don't know about yet.

>>15322011
That doesn't help either: "cegebbcegfdegfcbdfg". I will quickly check whether the spaces do actually matter, though.

>>15322022
if frequency is letter, then wouldn't each note be a letter? i have goodrelative pitch so i could write the names of each note down from the wav if need be

>>15322041
Nope. Nothing.
