![]() The solution here is to xnor the two bits of the two-digit numbers to condense them into a single digit to get:Ġ101 0000 0110 1101 0101 1001 0100 0010 0111 0101Įcah line now has four digits they can represent values from 0 to 15, but we are probably looking for an ASCII representation or a Bacon code here, so let's rearrange the 40 digits in groups of 8:Ġ1010000 01101101 01011001 01000010 01110101Īll five numbers have the top bit cleared, which is a good sign: Clean ASCII only uses 7 of the eight bits. (Xnoring or Not-xoring means that the result is 1 when both input bits are equal and 0 otherwise.)īut which? We can xnor consecutive numbers or consecutive rows, but that doesn't lead anywhere. In this case, Xnoring is a bitwise operation and requires two inputs. These are obviously binary numbers and we're told to xnor them. So the next stop is the numbers in the right column. Going north from the central X in the third grid we find an E directly above it and the westernmost letter in that row is an N. From that letter, go into the second direction all the way to the edge and take that letter.įor example, the first combo for the third phrase is NEW. ![]() ![]() Then go into the first direction until you get to the middle letter in the grid. I first didn't know what to do with this, but with the hint given – Go until you hit then go all the way – it becomes clear: For each combo, start at the centre of the corresponding square.

The heading NEWS in the middle column may also be a hint at compass points. has a list of three-letter combinations beneath it, which consists of a middle letter surrounded by two compass points.

Decosing them with the Vigenère key LOGIC gives:īe exact in the words you say, express only all your own ideas. Now there's a lot of stuff that doesn't make sense, but the phrases in the left column look as if they were encoded. The first letters of this phrase give LOGIC, which, we're told, it the key to make more sense. It says "Love our great, innovative commodity!". Is to look at the advertisement for Reason.

I don't recognise the paper, but photo analysis on the fridge magnet led me here. the antivirus systems on the cameras need to be checked. maybe add another lock to the steel door. I probably need to double up the laser grid. I just know that whatever it is, it will be bad. I'm scared because I don't know what going to happen. I'm not sure what's coming, but whatever it is.
