  1. I think I've got the author on Breaking the Fermilab Code · · Score: 1

    To #175:
    Thank you Devin for your notes, I've retried the combinasion above and I substitued F by C : I mean I remove one F and add one C;
    so I got now some think like

    0 1
    1 something
    2 2
    3 2
    4 1
    5 1
    6 3
    7 1
    8 1
    9 2
    A something
    B 1
    C 2
    D 2
    E 3
    F 3

    If I use the same mapping with 1 = 0, 2 = 1, 3 = 2; we have:
    0*1 100 200 1*0 112 2 == * I R * N (still this odd 2, let's just ignore it, just note that 2 represents 3 without the mapping!)

    so now we have 9 combinations, 9 possible word, only 2 are meanful AIRIN(I talked about it in #172) and if we consider the * as 2(another 3!) we get
    021 100 200 120 112 which corresponds to GIRON.

    And mysteriously, in the fermilab there's someone called Steve GIRON and who work on the neutrinos also.
    who's GIRON? is it the author?if someone knows him, please help us!

  2. Re:The Symbols mean ... on Breaking the Fermilab Code · · Score: 1

    With a closer sight to the symbols and to the alphabets you'll see the matching. The first symbol of the midlle stanza(corresponding to F) match exactly the dÄleth pheonician letter, there is also similar symbols in the hebrew and greek alphabets(haven't found arabic ones yet), so I suppose we've to search in this semitic alphabets, there's perphaps a clue. For a closer look: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenician_alphabet

  3. The Symbols mean ... on Breaking the Fermilab Code · · Score: 1

    Try to look in the phoenician and and other semitic alphapets(arab, hebrew...) even the greek one to decrypt the midle stanza
    I made some interessting discoveries (the first symbol is the letter 'D' in phoenician alphabetâ¦)

  4. William Basse on Breaking the Fermilab Code · · Score: 1

    William Basse (c.1583-1653/4) was an English poet(notice that he lived in the 16th century) so perhaps the name of the author is William.
    William Basse was also known as a follower of f Edmund Spenser(c. 1552 â" 1599) ho was an important English poet that contribute mainly to the english poetry by his "Spenserian stanza".A stanza construct as this :
    8 lines of 10 syllabus verse and the last line is an alxandrin (12 syllabus)

    Perhaps the author use this construction somewhere.
    I think also the author's name is William, try to find some William in the Fermilab

  5. Look At the Frequencies ! on Breaking the Fermilab Code · · Score: 1

    I took the second stenza, and I've counted the number of occurence of every hex caractere(THE FREQUENCIES), so I got:
    F 3
    0 1
    B 1
    E 3
    5 1
    8 1
    2 2
    D 2
    6 3
    3 2
    C 2
    7 1
    9 2
    4 1
    we include the third line with 1 instead of S, and we rearrage ordering the list:
    0 1
    1 1
    2 2
    3 2
    4 1
    5 1
    6 3
    7 1
    8 1
    9 2
    A 0 (left blank)
    B 1
    C 3
    D 2
    E 3
    F 4

    Now, we see it seems to be a trits system(except F) if we parse that using the second mapping and putting 1 = 0, 2 = 1, 3 = 2 we have :
    001 100 200 100 112 which gives "AIRIN"
    note that I ommited the F, i think it's just here to lead us in wrong way.

    Airin Older is the name of the bassist/singer of an alternative rock group called "sugarcult" so there is an obvious correlation between "airin","bass" and "shoemaker would call this noise".

    is it the solution? I don't know, it doesn't tell us where is the employee ID (perhaps it is E16 from bass(E 16)) but I can't imagine it is just a coincidence.

  6. The Employee Number on Breaking the Fermilab Code · · Score: 1

    "Employee number basse sixteen"
    let's decode "sixteen" using the midle stanza:
    we can "draw" 16 using the symbols I, I > and ^, (try to put'em one to one)and if we take the hex corresponding to each symbol we have :
    8863 or 8836 (6 = I>^ or 6 = I^>)
    we have to separe 1 and 6, so we put 0 as separator:
    80863 or 80836
    but we have got "BASSE" which means in french "low" so we have to start with the lower symbol(which is >, note that we also have 3 lower than 6)
    so our employee ID is : 80836N

    Please check this ID, to see if I'm wrong or not(I think I'm not) or let me know how to check by myself.thx

    Note: the employee ID at the fermilab is encoded on 5 integers and a caracter (C for Contractor, V for Visitor and N for Employee )
