To bring everyone up to speed so far:
1. Daniel posted the following link on his youtube account:
http://rs59.rapidshare.com/files/177986 ... 4f54494353
2. The file has been uploaded here:
http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?a ... 2B2164E5D8
3. The filename is SEMIOTICS in hex: Waffle found the following link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiotics# ... mioticians
Ruberic offered some insight: "In communication philosophy, there is a theory of semiotics...that is, semiotics is a method of communicaiton that stands on its own merrit...appart from the one who set the communication and the one who recieves it. That is, despite differences in understanding and logic, the communication can be understood by either party.
That being said...it is my belief that Tachyon has sent Daniel the password to the file, and it exists in what he recieved. In that way, Daniel needs to know nothing about Tachyon...Tachyon needs to know nothing of Daniel's understanding about her puzzles...and both can "communicate" about the password by the merrit of the password itself."
4. We are currently trying passwords to crack the file and open it. We will list all tried passwords in this thread. Also, remember when trying passwords they are case sensitive, so let's us know what variation of upper/lower case letters you used.
Acidfingers states: We currently think that the password is from a mask of 11 numbers (x) and 3 letters (y), we shouldn't get caught up with brute forcing the rar, look through the books and clues.
5. If you need help in figuring out how to open a .rar file, feel free to PM me. Many of us you WinRar to try and open the file and try passwords, it can be found here: http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
The game is on
