How many times do we have to go through this: If you want my assistance, dispense with the reasons and get rid of the obfuscations.

It's like you put it on the pole right before taking the picture. Nobody is dumb enough the put a flyer with pins like that. It's going to be pulled off in a matter of seconds.

i am having problems playing with curves and thresholds trying to get a better pic... This https://webqr.com/ doesnt recognize it (throws error) yet

Is someone else trying this path? Another thing (provided that OP is not delivering a pic with a glass over the sheet and no shadows from his hand either) would be to reconstruct it. Its fairly easy placing 1 and 0s manually - but time consuming

Keeping on photosho/gimp seems like the non autistic way to do this. Anyone willing to work on part of the QR area for the other method? I already have the first 9 columns but motherfucker is wide not tall

How would you improve a QR that has been folded many times?

Apparently this has gone on a while

>>19058145
starting to think about doing it pixel art style, but still not sure I'm ready to spend the night on it.

Also, still looking over the web to find this exact image, can't find it yet. Probably a new poster. Less probably a original one, but still.

but is this a new qr code? Maybe this was the next location and as nobody came cicaders posted here as nonspeaker and speakerfriend to keep the thing going. Maybe its old pasta, web address already been visited so no point keeping pushing on

>>19058175
just with excel and maybe using the grid on gimp is relatively easy, counting the squares by eye is smooth too. there are like 40~ columns and parsing one takes less than a minute. Im hesitating not only because time consumption but because maybe this approach is too dank

>>19058188
been trying to find it. I didn't. Might not be old pasta

I did that threshold thing, also with curves, just a second, but didnt work. Maybe because I kept the image two-tones (I grayscaled it and from your image it seems you did not) the scanner wouldnt recognize it

yeah, I cant possibly imagine it was a typo. it's the only thing that shows up. I doubt "deb" is a person though. perhaps a painting or a statue. or maybe its some other thing completely unrelated to the restaurant.

So Debbie Amy was the name mentioned in a book in the restricted area of Hogwarts library as a movie Easter Egg in the movie some names was replaced on books and in books
The code mentioned 10 and reuniting Hogwarts, maybe the movie Easter Egg name changes had something to do with 10

10 could represent binary 1 0

Simple Gematria / Numerology Base

Gematria - Cryptic Numerology of the Cabala
The esoteric material presented on these pages involves the revelation of information which has been hidden. Throughout history, individuals and organisations have chosen to guard their secrets by various cryptic means and gematria is not only one of these, but arguably has the most distinguished provenance of any. Although gematria starts with the book of Genesis, was ubiquitous in the culture of the ancient Greeks and forms a blueprint for the foundation of Christianity, the main focus of this website concerns more recent history and the culture of the English speaking world. In particular, the gematria of English provides the key to unlocking many of the secret doctrines of the Freemasons and the true identity of the greatest writer in the English language, William Shakespeare.

What is Gematria?
The Oxford English Dictionary defines gematria as, "A cabbalistic method of interpreting the Hebrew Scriptures by interchanging words whose letters have the same numerical value when added."

How does it work?
Gematria works on the premise that the letters of the alphabet can also be used as numbers, and therefore words and phrases acquire distinctive numerical values. A well known example is that of God, whose name spelt in Hebrew, is IHVH (). The values of these four letters are 10 - 5 - 6 - 5, thus the 'number of His name' is 26. It follows from this, by means of numerical equivalence, that God is identifiable with AHBH and AChD - Love and Unity - because the letter values of these two words sum as 1 + 5 + 2 + 5 and 1 + 8 + 4 = 26.
that the 26 by 45 rectangle enclosing the vesica of creation has a diagonal of the square root of 2701.

About the ''Simple'' (English) Gematria,
I mean,
a = 1
b = 2
c = 3
d = 4
e = 5
...
I noticed that it started with 452 (DEB) so I wrote ''reignites'' in a gematria calculator, and got the confirmation. those are the same words, without the ''the''.

Yep!

4 5 2 = D E B
18 5 9 7 14 9 20 5 19 = R E I G N I T E S
8 15 7 = H O G
23 15 18 20 8 19 = W O R T H S

She Reignites the Hog Worths
every word in this line is capitalized except for the word "the". even Reignites is capitalized and it is just a verb. The only time you capitalize every word except for articles is when writing a title.

I don't think this is a statement. I think this is some sort of title.

so in Gemetria, 10 equals K. Maybe we're building a sentence here, from all the papers found all around the world? If that's the case, do papers appear at random or does anyone think the locations are connected somehow?

One of the codes that are valued 10 in Gemetria says "7 Ꭵṣ ѺՐᎥģᎥń"

after doing a quick google search, I stumbled upon the 7 original wonders of the world. After reading a bit further, however, I saw the NEW 7 wonders of the world. One of them being Taj Mahal, in India...

Freenode is cool. But it is the home of the ''Old'' community of solver. Thoses guys comes every years saying ''This iz fake'' ''No Pgp'' ''Work on LP'' (Liber Primus).

Those guys stop solving everything. they focus on LP. But they found nothing new in 3 years. So we kinda think that it would be a good idea to have people checking on the ''fakes'' anyways.So we do.

We know it's not from the original cicada group. We're not stupid. Well, not enough to spend three years looking at rune like you're a vegetable.

Trust me, I am Higher Clexter of brood 0b

Regardless if this is legit Cicada or not I still want to solve it
Has anyone figure out what the whole Find Deb message was about?

Ciccada 3301 was/is supposedly a recruiting program by US intelligence agencies to find people unconventionally skilled in analytics and cryptography. This has been going on for years so maybe they found the people they needed but then again maybe it never ends. Considering the implications of intelligence needing more people to help crack cryptos and shit, you cant really just go and put out an ad on craigslist - there is probably some ridiculously sensitive material that they are dealing with and seeking out potential recruits secretly like this is probably the safest way to avoid infiltration by other intelligence entities.

We did the same kind of shit in WW2 when we needed people to help crack the enigma code - thats how they found that alex turing fag or w/e his name was.

Nothing wrong with solving puzzles. I just have problems with people using terms like

for puzzles made by puppet masters who impersonate 3301. Shit like this then ends up in Wikipedia and youtube videos and newbies think its real 3301.
But I get the appeal for PMs too. Reusing cicada 3301 name gets you some traction at gaining new players.

Thankfully legit 3301 released PGP signed message in April 2017, to confirm once again that what is not PGP signed is not from them.
