We didn't put both the letter and the number combination in for the match, just one or the other.

Do we need both of them?
We're supposed to see a pattern to it, which will help us figure out what to do. Maybe we should start working on the pattern.

I get that, but I don't have the quote/scene letter with the movie letter/number for a couple of them. I'd like to know what they are.

I own the sure thing, I've watched it 5 times now, no clocks.
Well, the reference is r: Shortly after the final shotgun. Kids doing beer shotguns, not the weapon. There should be some mention of time, and it's supposed to be 40 minutes past the hour.
I didn't pay much attention to the first shotgun scene, only the second...I'll go rewatch the first shotgun again.
Alright, the only times I could find is bit after the first shotgun scene when he finds out it's 9 minutes to 8am and he's late to class. In the final shotgun scene the girl says "it's almost midnight".

This is what I am getting at. Using the time pattern, shouldn't we be using both of the letters/numbers, not just one?

Instead of C64FB2835D7A91E


shouldn't it be: Cx6t4?FoBu8w3?5mDr7nA?9q1sEl

The question marks are for the combinations that I don't know which quote they are using.

Cx6t4vFoBu8w3p5mDr7nAy9q1sEl?

haven't we pretty much decided that we have those quesses worked out? (even though i know nothing is right until tach says it is.)

banusos, that's what I get too. I'll try it on the file.

Does anyone recognize if it might be some type of code?

Here's my next question for you all to ponder....As I've said before, I only have confirmation of 10 (11 if you count the shotgun email to someone else) combinations. If we are sure that we have the combinations correct, are we sure that we have the times correct?

We got a ton of individual verification yesterday. Check the main post for the match rationale

Holy Crap!! I know that, what I'm wondering is if we put them in the right order! As far as I know, she has not confirmed that we have them in the right order. Thats what I am wondering...

Edit: Cuz that seemed bitchier then it was supposed to.

AND because on the main post, you only have 8 confirmed by Tachyon. That is why I am asking if we are 100% sure of the combinations and the order they are in.

maybe the order should be reversed? from 60 to 4? or maybe 60 doesn't matter at all... "spare the hours" and all.

You know, I cannot believe that this did not occur to me earlier! This puzzle may not be as hard as we are making it out. However, if my friend's thoughts are correct, we need ONE piece to crack this code.

Utilizing the clock, this code could be a simple "round the circle" cypher. That is, you start at a specific point and go around the circle every so many letters/numbers. This pattern is continued until the next letter (example...start at a, go every so many letters. When you hit B, its a new word, and start again...etc).

If this is correct, we need ONE thing. Where do we start, and how many numbers do you skip to create the words?

My friend says this is a VERY simple type of puzzle, that is used with more difficult codes to jumble the phrases even more.

Can someone give this a try! Does anyone have any idea where we could start?
