I own it, although probably not the 2009 release, if you need me to look things up in it.

Edit: Oh god, I just saw the massive amount I'd have to search, which isn't easy with a Kindle version

Three black birds lit on a wire two were half honest the other a liar till the king walked by throwing his stones knocked two from their perch left the other alone

Edited to switch the two .5 words. Sorry about that. Thanks for those that pointed out my error.

Doesn't make sense unless you switch "liar" and "king".

Reminds me of a riddle about three birds on a wire and if you throw stones and hit two of them how many are left?

The answer is none since the other bird would fly away too because it got scared off.

Way to keep digging!

4-22-6.5 (working) is the 18th word, which would put it where "liar" is. I know GU17, you go to all that trouble, and we still nitpick. Smile

Cute version of natas' Three Birds on a Wire here:

Hi. Beaut catches all around, especially GU17. The jpeg page is titled "TheSisyphusEvent |6c61726b" which converts to:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
From HEX to ascii it decodes to: lark. (fwiw The Black Lark does exist)

the little face

Just found the thread, and I am kinda tired (14 hour work day) but did anyone see the little face next to the second 12? the one that gives you the password screen?

been playing with it for about an hour, with no luck.

ideas?

Nope. That's new.

Maybe we have to solve the little riddle for the password?

Three black birds lit on a wire
two were half honest the other a liar
till the king walked by throwing his stones
knocked two from their perch left the other alone


Something along the line of: at least he could always trust the liar to lie???

I heard a version of this where it the answer is the fact that the whole riddle is wrong as the only bird left lies and that is the bird that is telling the story.

So far we have a lark and a raven. Can't find a reference to the 3rd bird.

Found a strange video id in the source code of the first page. Link is here:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=268v0PTRiLU

The binary in the video decodes to
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
dead

and the word that quickly flashes is "SOON".
Haven't been able to decode the title/uploader yet, will work on it when I get the chance.
Edit: MTAzMTEy is the title of the video, uploader, and face page. Must be significant.

I tried and got "jaew". Pretty sure I screwed up somewhere.

Oh, wait, duh. MTAzMTEy decodes to 10 31 12. I was looking for a word, but it gave me a date. Looks like somethings happening "SOON".
