Re: Info from...

[pancito]

Just had a crackpot idea... Anything related to 'Bumblebee' or 'Ventures' in Bryan? Google doesn't show anything, really, but... MrT?

All of this because the aztec has me stymied. *sigh*

[MrT]

I'm not sure about those names, but there is a lot of cool old stuff in downtown Bryan. Didn't someone say that a map earlier pointed to the intersection of Hwy 21 and Hwy 6? There's not much of anything at that point, mostly just gas stations and a McDonalds.

I didn't see the map, but if it was Business 6 and not Bypass 6, then we are talking about a more interesting bunch of businesses/landmarks since it would be near a grocery store and some other stuff.

I'm stumped too. I hope it ends up being at the university since I know just about every knook and cranny of it.

[MrT]

I found the map on a previous page and it definitely means bypass 6 based on the little loop type line that is drawn.

The star on the map is north of the intersection, but I don't think we can count on it as being 'to scale'. I'll have time to drive up that way and check out the locations north of the intersection this afternoon.

It is final exam week so if any of te PMs are at Texas A&M, they are probably swamped until tomorrow and won't be leaving town (to Germany?) until after the exams are completed.

I guess I should just wait on pics like the Houston and Miami drops?

[MrT]

Of course that is more logical. I only speak about it this way because a local PM that I've dealt with in the past is from Germany and is an international student here at TAMU.

[MrT]

A friend of mine had an interesting idea that i haven't thought of:

[Salsaman1991]

That's a good idea. I had thought that maybe they were already in the right positions and they needed to be flipped accordingly in order to form the square in the middle, but remaining in the positions they came, but ended up not trying. Tomorrow morning I'll try several combinations.

EDIT: Well, here's the thing...they can't be arranged differently. The two on the top (in the original file, the one we got through e-mail) are wider than the bottom two by just a couple of pixels. That means they HAVE to be on top of one another. Meanwhile, the one on the top right, if you look closely, has some pixels that belong to the bottom right one (check the center square). Therefore, there's only one way to arrange them. At least, that's my conclusion...

[pancito]

Okay, I just sent this to the bctester people. Normally I wouldn't do this, but it might help us figure out where our problem really is. We'll see what happens. Is it possible that someone in Germany could sort of duplicate the effort, mentioning my email, but translating, just to be courteous? Please?

[sirpoins]

I sent them the picture to three different email addresses on Monday and haven't heard back from them yet...(the bctester people)

[pancito]

Well either they're stumped or they're blowing us off. Bets? 6-5 and pick 'em.

[MrT]

I'm leaning towards blowing us off.

I tried several combinations of rotating or flipping the four original pieces of the code. bcTester recognized it as Aztec a few times, but the value was always 0 or 70 or something like that.

[ineffabelle]

I'm going with stumped so they're blowing us off

[sirpoins]

Meanwhile...

What's up with the ARG? I tried to have a conversation with Natasha the other day, but she kept getting booted offline so I didn't find out anything..

Are we stopped until we decode this barcode?

[natas]

Did anybody get this after using BC Tester?
