The Dark Knight wss/ltih/static timecode sequence

[teufelsdrochk]

The full timecode from Mr.J's video

repeats the sequence

87 12 15 11 73 76 78 11 14 17
27 22 25 31 33 36 48 41 44 57
57 52 65 61 63 76 78 71 84 87

in 30 frames every second. These numbers contain a subsequence in the hundreths place

7251368147

which both begins and ends the video (here, first and last ten frames; watch the hundreths)

Mr. J also marks the beginning of the 7251368147 sequence at 03:02:13:27 (not 22)

If you do not feel this is a reasonable place to look for clues, by all means ignore this thread. But I think everyone who's still looking WOULD appreciate help.

Whatever the result, this investigation was useful. We found:

http://www.paulschou.com/tools/xlate/

which will translate to/from binary, ascii, hex, or base 64

http://www.prustinteractive.com/toolbox/substitute/index.php

will count letters in a cryptogram and compare them to normal use

http://www.secretcodebreaker.com/codes.html

will decrypt via ceasar, autokey, or keyword ciphers (good for cryptext w/o spaces)

http://www.blisstonia.com/software/WebDecrypto/

general monoalphabetic decryption (great for cryptext w/spaces)

http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/Christopher_Webster/Crypto/Playfair/PlayTexApplet.html

decrypt with playfair cipher using known keyword

http://www.mbhs.edu/~bconnell/cgi-bin/anagram.cgi

will list anagrams for a block of letters

http://www.c14sw.de/132.html

will decode stereograms

I will continue to post useful tools or conclusive results here at the top of the thread

And.........................

What's the point.

 

[Hoosier Boss]

And.........................

What's the point.

The point is that teufelsdrochk believes its a clue and would like to see if it can be cracked by the legion of TDK viral fans. Good thing I finished that course in rocket science!t:

Since getting Gordon's email, I think the warehouse might be where Joker burns the money.

The original thread has become so flodded with nonsense its impossible to keep up.

Some confusion still exists about how the ltih game was solved. Waiting first posted,

evidently her fiancee had hacking to the code, but it wasnt until this morning that we got to see it:

also, the first cart moves every 6.5 secounds, the second cart moves every 6 seconds and the third cart moves every 7 seconds....if that helps

The 'CPU_foo_STARS' indicates that the carts flash letters coded in a ##edit##binary alphabet##edit## in Morse code:

 

[teufelsdrochk]

CPU1_LEVEL1_ROLLS = 3, 5, 4, 1, 1, 2, 4, 2, 3, 2, 3, 4, 6, 1, 6, 2, 1, 4, 3, 2, 2, 3, 7, 5, 2

Because CPU_foo_STARS flashes in binary alphabet, it may be that CPU_foo_ROLLS also contains a clue.

 

[teufelsdrochk]

The point is that teufelsdrochk believes its a clue and would like to see if it can be cracked by the legion of TDK viral fans. Good thing I finished that course in rocket science!t:

Yeah like I say the first thread is dead from too many 'did you know you can see jokers face?' posts. Seemed like a good idea to clear the air for this unsolved bit of ARG.

 

[QueenChaos]

hmm, it definitely seems as though there's something to this, lets see if we can find it.
by the way, just wanted to note - with all of these carnival themed games and such, and the mention of that chaotic festival being brought back to Gotham (as stated in the Times), I think there may be something to do with the Joker in correlation with the festival or at least some sort of carnival. And if so, that's going to be pretty cool

 

[nickyg641]

Were other virals this complicated? Because, seriously, just because we're nerds, doesn't mean we're FBI analysts.

 

[Alixyveth]

Were other virals this complicated? Because, seriously, just because we're nerds, doesn't mean we're FBI analysts.

(Seriously. 42 has done some CRAZY stuff; check out "The Beast". Year Zero had some complicated stuff, too. We should look at everything we can.)

 

[nickyg641]

I think we're possibly just looking way too far into this. Any chance that this is just a piece of something we'll be getting more of in the coming days, something that'll illuminate this mess?

 

[DARKxGOTHAMITE]

omg you guys seriously....

youre lookin WAY too into this....

The school site was updated with a field trip to the Carnival on July 11, forms will be sent to the parents on July 7.

That's possible, but 42 probably wanted to make things more difficult for us seeing as we tend to be pretty skilled with it all (and solve puzzles at the speed of light) haha. So maybe they do expect us to find something within all of this,
and if there's something that they are witholding currently but want to reveal to us later which assists with this... then by working on it now we may simply crack any codes before they have to help us.

 

[teufelsdrochk]

omg you guys seriously....

youre lookin WAY too into this....

Do you mean the timecode? Or do you mean the binary code (which successfully lead to another part of the game)?

If we didn't look WAY too into this we'd still be madly clicking on the ltih game.

 

[QueenChaos]

The school site was updated with a field trip to the Carnival on July 11, forms will be sent to the parents on July 7.

Thanks for that bit of info, I wasn't aware of that. I'm pretty sure that the joker will crash it, or have something to do with such a carnival. It just really seems as though that's where things are heading with all of these carnival indications

 

[JakobIsRad]

You guys are on to something
NOTHING is coincidence
The other thread moved on to hippos.
you guys are moving forward
keep it up
did anyone translate the binary code?
like each group of eight stands for a letter?

That can't be good. Who in their right mind would send their kid to a Carnival in Gotham City?

[Maul2513]

it does, it stands for bgygbrgbyrygbgybbrbyg, but i think someone established that, remember? i think thats how we got to the video

 

[Maul2513]

which brings us back to the sequence from the original post in this thread...

 

[JakobIsRad]

right
totally.
yeah.
i still say wait it out.
did we do the morse code thing?
after the first round in the game, the Cpu's were stuck and this wierd ticking started....
i say it's morse

 

[JMalone61]

One thing I've noticed is how these virals have all lead to the reveal of clips that people have seen before either at WW or elsewhere (i.e. Two-Face clip, trailer that had earlier screening, shots of joker in a jail cell..) yet we have yet to see a proper release of this prologue..

Sure you could have seen it in IMAX with that terrible movie.. But I'll bet my girlfriend's perfectly shaped ass that this game or that carnival will give us a good quality version of the prologue online..

And I. WANT. IT. NOW.

 

[teufelsdrochk]

it does, it stands for bgygbrgbyrygbgybbrbyg, but i think someone established that, remember? i think thats how we got to the video

yeah sry I was trying to prevent confusion and I may have created some.

The color code appeared out of thin air. For some time the ARG wiki was saying that it had to do with the skill shot, but it didn't (at least in the solution we found).

The lights flash in binary alphabet coded for bgygbrgbyrygbgybbrbyg. Clicking those colors on the wheel led to a video. That video displays a very weird time code that jumps all over in a repeating pattern.

YES we know about joker face. YES we've examined every possible pixel for clues. The 'video' consists of a 3 still images (revealed directly from the flash file) superimposed with static.

No one can find the dock referenced on a map and all attempts to contact acme security etc have failed.

So thats where we stand. Let's solve this thing!

 

[DARKxGOTHAMITE]

*sigh*...

 

[Maul2513]

did anyone try to go to that site related to acme with the six security cameras, i forget the link, but it was from a previous game, right around the time gordon busted us...maybe we can look at those cameras
