Anyone else see this site? http://www.thisisnotporn.com (Don't worry, its not porn)

The whole site is one giant puzzle and it's making my head hurt. You have to decrypt codes and look for hidden and obscure clues to try to find the password to the next page. Click on the oven window to start.

I got as far as "Curiosity killed the Cat" but now I'm stuck.

(PS do this in IE, Firefox misses out on a lot)

wtf?

wierd. reminds me of "the ring".

when you click on the oven...it says asia awaits.....

whats the code for that? is that the random numbers the oven is spewing

help me out...

and.... "seven days"

Have you been following the "I love bees" viral? I Love Bees

What I sometimes spend my 'free' time doing:

The Game

(by the way my Avatar is from a game my team just ran "overnightmare") Driving through the back country near Livermore at night the team's headlights would flash on a clown standing perfectly still in the middle of nowhere )

You have to look at the coding....

If your running Mozilla just right click and say "view source"

It says...

" Alexander cut me,
An oracle predicted me,
A future king fied me,
say my name to clear your path"

Ya.... Like I get that one... lol "DADDY!?!?!?!?"

I got to the riddle thing for Asia Awaits, but I need to figure it out from there.

This is going to bother me all day. I feel lame.

Mer

dude reading plutarch's hisory of alexander in persia <_<

dude, your good!

But whats the username? Any??

geez...

im sure it has something to do with the crap numbers coming out of the oven....

this pisses me off. im frustrated. lol. i hate history

has to do with when alexander invaded persia (lower part of asia)

user name i think is "diesbythesword"

this is going to drive me insane


thanks for posting it... asshole!

, except I haven't figured out the riddle yet. I feel even lamer.

Jen

diesbythesword...

not die.. I get it now..

you know what i meant asshole .. see the game has already affected my demeanor!

wtf! check this out 'view source' in IE

then what's the pass? I figured the user from the "realm"

I've tried:
alex
alexander
alexanderthegreat

the same 3 in all caps
the same 3 cap'ing the first letter

Booooo, don't spoil it.

There's also a hidden clue in the binary numbers. (use ASCII)

I struggled with the username and password too, until I realized its NOT "Diebythesword". It's names.

heck if I know... I still havent figured it out.. lol

wtf is ascII? and i tried the binary stuff....hidden characters on that page

Im not spoiling it..

Im trying to get everyone going on the first one... Then once we all know how to do it.. Its off on your own...

Not diesbythesward eh?

hmmm

ascii is the binary format of alphanumeric characters in pc land...

if you cut and paste the whole site into a word editor(notepad) the blank spaces spell out what andy posted...

so how does that help us?

BTW it only gets harder and more cryptic from there on. If anyone wants hints PM me.

I think it's who alexander killed...

who died by alexander's "sword"?

persians

You translate the binary code to base 10 numbers, then translate them into ASCII letters and you'll get the clue. (You'll have to use google to help you find the answer unless you're a history buff)

I don't think I'm even going to attempt any more of this.

I can't figure out the first one. And if it only gets harder, the only thing I will succeed in is feeling stupid.

Have fun, guys!

I think we're on the wrong track... I think it has to do with this...

confrimed ^

ok, through door number 1...

and the pic click translates to "only the boy will die"

ok... i was trying to figger out the language

only the boy will die

and this is at bottom of page

Jeroen would be a help here, there's more Dutch.

When you figure the clue out, here is a hint on how to get to the next page:

"The name of the place goes where the place you go is named."

de jongen zal alleen sterven, I think that translates closer to "The boy will die alone"

Ascii tables....numbers

On the Zuiderzee
That old fishing sea,
The Faeiries stole,
The boys of Marken

the numbers are in dec

go to http://www.asciitable.com/

each 3 number group is a letter

there are also a series of words in the sound that loads with the beginning of the site...

???

Theoldnameofthesiteoftheboy'sdisappearanceisthenameoftheplaceyoumustgo&hebbanollavogalanestashagunnan hinasehi c! e!ndathu uu at!unbida n! uu!enu

Those numbers are ascii codes for characters... Above is what those numbers represent... I know i did the script right so they must have those odd chars there for some reason...


THROUGH DOOR NUMBER 2!!!!!

For anyone still stuck here, you have to use the NEW (modern) name of the place (not the old, it must be a mistake).

ok, I'm at IJsselmeer

Still on the forst one! Is that password case sensitive or what? I've tried all sorts of combos and I still can't get by.

it is case sensitive on the first one...

I got past CuriosityKilledthecat (with some help)

but that was it... I think the website IS a gordian knot!
