This stuff is worse than my biology homework.

Ha, Vince you beat me too it! Except my measurements are a little different?:

This is assuming conventional azimuth measurements. In the image I've included what the results would be if based on the layout of a circle protractor (assuming 0 is up), just in case!

If this is heading in the right direction, what do we do with these numbers?

[Silentvoid]

Hexadecimals, like on the film the martian, where he uses the arc of the camera on pathfinder to talk to earth. Could these arrows be fed into a system like that?

Found this

[Mr. Molluck]

I dont have time to decipher gtg, sry.
something new?

Thanks to the cipher you posted, I got this from the word pattern:

LICU KIIJ NNAX YHZ

IWHNM LICU FIIP

WIKHM BYHZ XHJP

Can anyone unscramble this?

[Xavier]

Please have a look at the previous replies before posting

The Pigpen code is upside down...

...

The BabelStone Pigpen code reads:

KNOW YOUR CODES
KEEP THEM CLOSE
YOU WILL NEED THEM

[Mr. Molluck]

Please have a look at the previous replies before posting

Yeah, I saw the other post afterwards, but wasn't sure how to edit my message to state that. Thank you

[GlitterPanther]

I hope its ok to share this (ill edit this post from now on with updates)

This is what I was getting at earlier

I took the degrees the arrows could be pointing from the other users and try to decrypt using it

I got, () notes a either letter

EJFE(F)N(O)RMCPC
EBKBEB

Quippup says it Means Alterpiece Or Checklists

Update Time:

Wiki: http://oddworld.wikia.com/wiki/Souls...d_transmission

TOGG: http://oddworldlibrary.net/archives/...4/category/109

We're still looking for:

• What is encoded in the horizontal barcode in the square.
• The meaning of the arrows.

[brechtos]

There seems to be a faint line next to the arrows. Perhaps in a hint on how to orient them?

edit: Here is the horizontal barcode cleaned and isolated. But a regular barcode scanner doesn't seem to make much sense of it. Perhaps parts are missing or we only need to look at an isolated segment. I tried inverting the code as well but no luck so far.

[AlexanderG]

The PIGPEN have to be rotate of 180 ° to see the message.
PS i solved It Just a few ago

[Phoetux]

It looks like it's all about angles this time. I guess I cannot help now but when I can I'll shout.

You're right. I made a few mistakes - was in a bit of a rush

The best thing to note though is that we both found them to be EXACTLY (almost up to the decimal) on quantities of 10.

I will update my initial post as well.

[mattb150]

Isolated barcode after rotating cube 90 deg CCW. Scanner does not detect a barcode however I believe this is because there are horizontal and vertical slices "taken out" or shifted. Thus the challenge is discerning intentional gaps from shifted gaps, then (in theory) it should scan.

[Vince]

Couple of questions:

Has anyone else noticed that two of the initial "binary" symbols are now missing?

And what are people using to decipher the barcode?

[citizenerased]

After messing with the barcode for hours, I found out that barcodes always start and end the same, this one was missing the first bar that makes up the Start Code.

So I've ended up with a link.

http://www.1029.io/repository/asset98/

But it's an empty page...

[GlitterPanther]

So, barcode translate into numbers... and they said about "read the numbers,.know.the truth"


Maybe we need to invert the colors

...

The only translated barcode we've had produced a mash of random letters:
"Ivzw gsv mfnyvih pmld gsv gifgs"
Which is translated into:
"Read the numbers know the truth"

Never a URL.
Please don't make stuff up...

Edit: Expect the fact that he didn't make stuff up! He went and worked the whole thing out!

No, in the bottom right of the picture is 2 bar codes interlaced, one reading vertical and the other horizontal, the vertical one reads findawayshowthetruth the horizontal is half of a link, we need to find the rest of the link.

[GlitterPanther]

So far iv got

0829

Or

1829

But its really hard to tell, the slightest differnce produces a complete different number

It's possible that I was wrong with the read the numbers thing. Oddworld haven't really reacted to it on Twitter as far as I've seen.

I scanned the above barcode, however, and got

5986558873547

I also got the numbers below when I scanned after inverting the colours

3229232397062

I scanned your version of the cleaned up barcode then revieved Numbers: 14517648


But I should scan a couple times more maybe, to make sure I get the same results

EDIT: I got different results after 7 scans but 4 out those 7 scans it resulted in: 06604622

This is tricky...

[GlitterPanther]

We, iv been trying to crack it from eye and so far...

1829, 24

Or

0454 5101

I'm using http://www.onlinebarcodereader.com/ to translate.
It managed to translate the Newsletter Barcode correctly, but it can not translate this barcode.

[citizenerased]

For anyone wanting help with the barcodes. http://imgur.com/a/YmAH2

It's important to note that if you just look at the picture as it's given to us, it's harder. The barcode is inverted and is "missing" line from the start and end.

Look at how the barcode in the newsletter is formatted, all of these particular type of barcodes start and end the same.

Could you send me the Correct barcode inverted and such so I can work on it? Also have you tried it with letters instead of numbers?

[mattb150]

Gottem!!

http://www.1029.io/repository/asset9...yshowthetruth/

New URL! Some kind of puzzle.

I was like, hmm, interesting results.... Nice work on the barcodes, citizenerased!!!

[HTML_Earth]

There's a bunch of stuff in the source code.

[citizenerased]

Ahh, of course, the barcodes are the complete link. Ha! I didn't think to add them together.
