One step at a time, before the next. I wouldn't want to confuse you. Figure out what you need and we'll go from there.

Step 1: Always be prepared.

Tachyon just updated her profile. Under Favorite Books it says:

which, when decoded from base 64 gives you this in ASCII:

4d 61 74 63 68 20 74 68 65 20 71 75 6f 74 65 2f 73 63 65 6e 65 2f 73 65 71 75 65 6e 63 65 20 28 69 6e 20 6c 6f 77 65 72 63 61 73 65 29 20 74 6f 20 74 68 65 20 6d 6f 76 69 65 20 28 69 6e 20 55 50 50 45 52 43 41 53 45 29 2e 20 57 61 74 63 68 20 61 6e 64 20 63 6f 6d 70 61 72 65 20 74 68 65 20 6c 6f 77 65 72 63 61 73 65 20 73 63 65 6e 65 20 69 6e 20 65 61 63 68 20 55 50 50 45 52 43 41 53 45 20 6d 6f 76 69 65 20 74 6f 20 66 69 6e 64 20 61 20 70 61 74 74 65 72 6e 20 74 68 61 74 20 77 69 6c 6c 20 64 65 74 65 72 6d 69 6e 65 20 68 6f 77 20 79 6f 75 20 68 61 6e 64 6c 65 20 74 68 65 20 55 50 50 45 52 43 41 53 45 20 6c 65 74 74 65 72 73 2f 6e 75 6d 62 65 72 73 2e

then decode this from hex and you get:

Match the quote/scene/sequence (in lowercase) to the movie (in UPPERCASE). Watch and compare the lowercase scene in each UPPERCASE movie to find a pattern that will determine how you handle the UPPERCASE letters/numbers.

The Sure Thing, and Back to the Future are still missing at the moment.

random lurker wrote:how is Back to the Future being approached? I think I read in another thread that we were considering scenes from the second movie. Since the third movie is set in the wild west, it seems that it would have lots of references to shotguns. Could the clue be near the end of the third movie?

(Sorry I can't help directly, but hopefully that speculation might be of some use. GOOD LUCK to everyone; I admire all that you've been able to work out so far!)

random lurker wrote:*trying to catch up* - meaning that the shotgun reference doesnt' come from the BttF movies?

Beautiful Nightmare wrote:I apologize for being dense. I have NO clue how you guys get the words out of the code and that's got a lot to do with this question

Anyway, do we know that these are definitely the movies, and the "quotes" are just mismatched to the wrong movies?

Does that question even make sense?

Finally, a puzzle I could have helped with (I'm a huge movie buff) and it all took place over the weekend, when I wasn't around. Bah.

The code was a list of UPC numbers, so we are positive that the movies are right.

if you got tossed in the infirmary until they could transfer you to another facility, you'd punch a door too... until you figured out a way to escape.
