  8. Liam Rustill Says:

    Aye KKD, just had my dad confirm it. Finalists initials?

  9. a Says:

    what is that lol?

  10. Josh Brock Says:

    I knew it was Braille!!!!! :D

  11. a Says:

    hmm, it seems weird, that must be one person’s initials?

  12. John Harold Transue Says:

    http://morsecode.scphillips.com/jtranslator.html
    I attempted to translate, however it could not be translated.

  13. John Harold Transue Says:

    no wait!
    KKD

  14. John Harold Transue Says:

    whatever that means
    KKD is the translation

  15. Liam Rustill Says:

    Aye that’s what I mean ‘a’

    It’s morse code Josh, they have it in the engine room intro video on the site saying ‘engine room’ i think.

  16. John Harold Transue Says:

    oh right, sorry Liam…you knew

  17. Josh Brock Says:

    I know, the :D is me being a smart ***

  18. jcrets Says:

    …. .. / — -.– / .-.. — …- .

  19. a Says:

    hmm…..it could mean two things:

    1) Initials of something or someone;) maybe a finalist ;)
    or

    2) Just the Engine room staff trying to see how desperate we are ;)! I think it shows that most people are considiring its been translated already !! Maybe they r laughing at us right now!!

  20. Josh Brock Says:

    I would have to say 2)…. they are probably laugh at us right now!

  21. Liam Rustill Says:

    Ah well if they are the jokes on them! I’m on my way to Newcastle at the moment to have an aweeeesome weekend and they’re working. Muuhuhuaha

  22. a Says:

    must say they know how to keep people tensed!

  23. Rodrigo Bastos Didier Says:

    The music on the intro video is YYZ by Rush…
    YYZ is morse code…
    if you listening the music you will see…
    Look:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXCZvRNgLnI

  24. Josh Brock Says:

    Well I am out of here!!!!! Good luck decoding the Message!!!!!!

  25. Liam Rustill Says:

    Not the tinging right at the start Rodrigo, it’s when the tower is transmitting rings. It’s longer than 3 letters and I remember being told it said engine room.

  26. Rodrigo Bastos Didier Says:

    Ah liam…very good!
    =D

  27. Liam Rustill Says:

    Ah well i’m sure someone will figure it out! If it actually means anything or isn’t part of something else. I’ve nearly arrived so I have to put the laptop away.

    Good night from jolly old England

  28. Christopher Miles Says:

    SuChins gonna buy use Krispy Kreme Doughnuts !?! thats awesome !!

    New York Cheesesteak doughnut for me please ! thanks !
    :D can’t wait !!!

  29. Roberto Says:

    http://mtvmediaabout.blogspot.com/2007/11/kiep-do-den-life-style.html

    Googled “MTV + KKD”. Looks like the mtv media staff is doing well… haha :P

  30. Roberto Says:

    now i think its a date. or a specific time. hmm…

  31. John Harold Transue Says:

    MTV+KKD SO SO SO STRANGE

  32. Roberto Says:

    dash dot en-dash / dash dot en-dash / en-dash dot dot

    en dash’s usually separate dates or time (7-11-08 or 4-5pm). i’m not sure if the first ‘dash’ is a dash or a hyphen. i swear i’m usually not this weird :D

  33. Shawnee Bushkill Says:

    Or it could be NQD - Not Quite Done - or Not Quite Dead….

    Not Quite Done would make more sense if they are still mulling over the submissions……

  34. Denesia Says:

    I thought I should leave this on this thread toto since it looks like we have moved over here. I’ll copy and paste what I said on the other thread.

    I have added my pic to it. Tony let me know if the desk is blocking you too much. I don’t have a pic of me standing up so I thought hey this is a digital art competition, we have to have a computer and a desk on there. So I put my pic inside of the flat panel monitor. lol You all can download the loft pic at the address below:

  35. Chris Griffin Says:

    KKD!!!

    I got it!!!

    Oh….wait…..no…I lost it.

  36. Shawnee Bushkill Says:

    Or take the KKD and convert each character to it’s hex or octal code and you might have a phone number…..

  37. Shawnee Bushkill Says:

    In Octal: 113-113-104, which could be arranged as 011-311-3104
    011 is the international access code so maybe you just have to get the area code for MTV and place that after the international access code and then dial 311-3104

    Then they tell you you cracked the code and you are guaranteed a slot on the show :-)
    I spend too much time in math class :(

  38. John Harold Transue Says:

    What is that jumping silhouette?

  39. John Harold Transue Says:

    Perhaps, Shawnee, you should look into the CIA?

  40. Shawnee Bushkill Says:

    NSA more like it - they hire the most math nerds in the world. I would rather make music for a living than crack codes. I loose track of time when I am messing with this kind of stuff - it’s like mental crack. Can’t stop it even though you know it’s getting you no where - and fast!

  41. Matt Moore Says:

    its the frequency to a numbers station in Louisiana…

    if you have a shortwave radio you can dial it in

  42. G Says:

    the cake is a lie…

  43. Shawnee Bushkill Says:

    Well - in that case it could also be an AM station in Hawaii. But that is REALLY far fetched….

    But just in case, I think my dad has a working shortwave at home……

    All this and I will find out that it really was just some random stuff that someone added because the last blog post had too many entries and “they” just wanted to start a clean slate but didn’t have anything to say in particular…..

  44. Matt Moore Says:

    no, just number stations really freak me out.

  45. Denesia Says:

    John, the jumping silhouette is Alyissnesss.

  46. Chris Griffin Says:

    I think they’re messing with us. Watching us react to some cryptic message.

    more entertaining than sitting around the office and actually doing work

  65. Natalia López McDougall Says:

  66. Denesia Says:

    Natalia, I don’t see a line coming off the page. The page looks great on my end. I thought of another idea Natalia. We should have a cat walking on the desk and it could have your face on it. lol

  67. Natalia López McDougall Says:

    uhhh i have a bit of an issue with cats!!! they have a tendency to sratch my nose!!! hmm maybe i could be an evil fairy?????

  68. Natalia López McDougall Says:

  70. Natalia López McDougall Says:

    but then i should take a picture of myself in an evil fairy pose!!! ill try to get my friend to do one tomorrow :D (oh god? am i seriously doing this?) **** yeah why not!

  71. Denesia Says:

    Yeah, I didn’t see the comment. Ferrets are cool. That sounds like a winner. lol

  72. Natalia López McDougall Says:

    what u preffer me as a ferret? jaja

  73. Denesia Says:

    I can see you as a ferret or an evil fairy. I think either one will look great. lol Which one do you want to be more?

  74. Natalia López McDougall Says:

    uff hard to choose!!! jajajaja i think im gonna trymyself out tomorrow as both and see which one is scariest!

  75. Denesia Says:

    I was telling Tony that you’re trying to decide between a ferret and a fairy. He said how about evil fairy?

  76. Denesia Says:

    That sounds like a good idea Natalia. An evil fairy may be scarier.

  77. Vaughn Says:

    did anyone notice that the second dash is higher than the first?

    In the source code it is also not a regular dash but: “

  78. Vaughn Says:

    sorry it translated it is: & # 8 2 2 0 ;

    (without the spaces)

  79. Vaughn Says:

    oops … & # 8 2 1 1 ;

    (without the spaces)

    lol

    0100 1110 78 4E N
    0100 1001 73 49 I

    IF [& # 8 2 1 1 ;] is the separation we need at Morse

  82. Roberto Says:

    i pointed out the second “higher” dash out in an earlier post, it is an “EN DASH” used to separate numbers in a range. as in, “4-5pm” or “1-16″… possibly also used for a date?

  92. Tony Campagna Says:

    Okay, I’ve gone through the whole thread……I’ve entered the Matrix.

  93. Danny! Says:

    Mmmmm, cryptic blog posts rock.
    Ooooh la la.

  94. Denesia Says:

    Good night Natalia! I was wondering if you knew about this thread. lol

  95. Denesia Says:

    Tony, it is definitely The Matrix. Which one of us is Neo? lol

  96. Tony Campagna Says:

    Dee ~ Had no clue, lol You were talking dots, dashes, dots….and I’m…Uhmmm yeah

  97. Tony Campagna Says:

    Depends on who has the expensive shades hon!

  98. Denesia Says:

    Do you think SuChin should leave more cryptic blog posts Danny!? lol

  99. Tony Campagna Says:

    Was this thread posted by SuChin?

  100. Denesia Says:

    lmao Tony. I have always had issues with shades. I will run into a wall wearing shades. lol

  101. Denesia Says:

    Part of me think it wasn’t posted by her. I have a lot of ideas about it running around in my head. lol

  102. Denesia Says:

    Do you think it was posted by her?

  103. Tony Campagna Says:

    I hear ya, I’ve been known to have my not so graceful moments, lol

  104. umm Says:

    21?

  105. Denesia Says:

    It’s funny that you mentioned The Matrix. You know how I was telling you I was typing a response and the words started moving. They were moving like the numbers in The Matrix, but they were moving horizontally. lol

  121. Denesia Says:

    Ok Demetrius. I can’t wait to see what you add to it.

  122. Rodrigo Bastos Didier Says:

    YYZ is the answer…

    -.– -.– –..
    (look, the first and the second dash are smaller than the 2nd 3rd and 4th)

    if you change one big dash for two small…you can find something like that:

    -.– -.– –..

    Translating
    Y Y Z

    The music by Rush, theme of the Engine Room…
    And YYZ means “Yankee, Yankee, Zulu”
    Yankee (from Yankee Doodle)
    and Zulu - SHA-KA zu-lu
    (name of famous Zulu king.)

    That is it

    if want to read more about morse code and yankees and zulus |o|

  123. Denesia Says:

    You really did some research Rodrigo. lol

  124. Rodrigo Bastos Didier Says:

    look…
    When I wrote two dashes together the sistem make it into one big dash…
    (- . - -) (- . - -) (- - . .)
    Y Y Z

  125. Tony Campagna Says:

    Always good to see you in the blog Demetrius. Just waiting for your entry into the loft.

  126. Tony Campagna Says:

    I wishing I’d entered this conversation earlier, I know the Rush song though. lol

  127. Denesia Says:

    That’s cool Rodrigo. Does anybody remember the Shaka Zulu tv mini series? It was popular when I was in 5th grade. lol

    @Denesia..
    heres my contribution to the loft.

  131. John Harold Transue Says:

    Why YYZ? Why Rush?

  132. John Harold Transue Says:

    Sweet, you won the money and the computer, but you don’t look excited!

  133. Demetrius Harmon Says:

    ok tony im in the loft.

  134. Denesia Says:

    I love it! It’s all about the money, good frineds, and digitial art baby! lol

  135. Denesia Says:

  136. Demetrius Harmon Says:

    i don’t look excited because im holding it in til I get outside.lol

  137. Demetrius Harmon Says:

    Thanks everyone!!!

  138. Tony Campagna Says:

    Demetrius thats the best. ;) The center of it all.

  139. Denesia Says:

    lol Demetrius. I think which ever team wins the money is going to be balling their eyes out. lol

  140. Demetrius Harmon Says:

    lol thanks tony

  141. Tony Campagna Says:

    Dee ~ I’ll second that sentiment.

  142. Demetrius Harmon Says:

    @d… Oh yeah. ballin!

  143. Roberto Says:

    Rodrigo’s solution seems to make more sense now that I’ve google-fu’d YYZ by Rush (a lot of commentary about the song talks about the morse code and the EXACT pattern pointed out by Rodrigo).

    But Why? And why no signature from SuChin like all her other posts?
