Now it says:

a number you need

the beginning is prime
the middle is the result of dividing what you get times 110 by the beginning
the end is the beginning

prime numbers: 2, 3, 5, 7

the middle is the result of dividing by the beginning:
12/2=6
12/3=4 It doesnt say what to divide? so im using 12 from the last clue

262, 343 would be the only choices then

Im confused on what the new middle line is saying?

((what you get) x 110) / the beginning

okay...




if I'm thinking about this correctly, it would be equivelant to :

p
(x(110))/p = n
p

The middle part is really the only hard part, because there are technically three variables. At first i thought that x might equal n, but found that to make p=110, which doesnt work obviously.

We know that p=prime so it could be 2, 3, 5, 7 as zsandmann said. Something we shouldn't rule out, is that "the middle" doesnt have to just be a one digit number.

rearranging the the variable we can come up with :

np=110x
np/x=110


if p=2
2n/x=110
n/x=55
if p=3
3n/x=110
n/x=36 2/3
if p=5
5n/x=110
n/x=22
if p=7
7n/x=110
n/x=110/7

x="what you get"
So if we can figure out what it is that "you get" then this will be pretty easy.

If x=12, then we can get the following
(p=2, x=12) the full number would be 26602
(p=3, x=12) the full number would be 34403
(p=5, x=12) the full number would be 52645
(p=7, x=12) you dont get an integeral number

The only thing i can think of if those are correct would be thread numbers, p=2 gives thread www.abovetopsecret.com...
and the rest are either dead zones or Mods only.

My algebra is a little rusty, so if I made any errors let me know

Hope this helps someone.

Algebras fine. Went round the houses a bit though, hehe. Still, can't find a lead anywhere.

ok I tried thread 3600 and 13600 but nothing useful, I was thinking a second of a minute of an hour is 60*60 or 3600 or 1/3600th.

o's clue was in the science and technology forum, could that mean anything ?

last time it was in board business....

Seems the writing goes in a sort of circle pattern, i.e., fits next to a circle.

60x60x24x60x60=7464960000
60x60x24=86400

Ok, it says 'of' not, by, so 60/60/24/60/60 = 0.000011754....
I tried 11754, which led to 7250, which is an old clue. Have we solved it yet?

yes angloshot we did solve that clue.

Care to put a link up, so I can find it?

whoevere walks with truth generates light is a sumerian proverb the clue was solved using xoft by purduenuc or quicksilver it was a hard one to. ill get the link. cant find the exact link but in some stupid thread by zsandman it was spam by the way was congratulating people for solving it quick posted the results this is the translation

now we know the depths of our problem eh my friends. for so long this has been feared. were we not warned by our predecessors that this generational cycle would see us in the eye of the storm? Mine is sequestered in the digital space. I know you'll complain but I thought it a nice twist as we know our enemies are not yet established online and seem unable to understand it as we do. I'll embed clues over the next few days so that one of us or "uncle" can eventually gather them all up and combine.
That is all for now my comrades. Remember -- Whoever has walked with truth generates life --

im not trolling any one im just saying you accuse people of spamming when they arent when you have spammed yourself . to you if it doesnt solve a clue its spam. BTW i already contacted 2 mods about what was spam and they said i was not spamming and the only person so far to do that was DarkDragon. ........................and IMO you

Im going to ask you one last time to stop trolling me MGJ. This is as polite as it is going to be.

every second of every minute = 60
every minute of every hour = 60

I don't think 24 comes into play because it doesnt say "every hour of every day".

It does say 'of EVERY hour' though.

Yeah, the MINUTES OF every hour.

The only way 24 would come into it is if it said hours of every day.

Jeez MGJ - you just come across as a jerk in many of your posts.

And IMO:


etc. etc. etc was SPAM!

grrr.....

EDIT: Problem dealt with. Thank you mods.
