Ok.. a coupla quick comments. To the guy that asked if this was real. Of course the TEST is real, but I am sure if you read the documents in the previous menus, you would have noticed that are host mentioned this is just a test. Also if scientists did discover an alien transmission, they aren't going to release it to the general public to solve! Anyways, the very last message was a direction set to dissolve this test. I don't think that was the main purpose of our host in creating this site. He is trying to teach us how hard it would be to take a different transmission and try to interpret what is being said when your sender is of some other origin. very complex Also, I think the teacher intended for us to have an open discussion on ways of trying to solve this dilemma. So I will offer all my thoughts: The code is here below...

What do we see. Cant be a musical octave. There r more than 8 notes --- what about I & H? Can we spot a pattern? sure it looks like it it goes "g" then "b" [could be a binary set] though obviously not. Then two "BB" and two "GG" This is where pattern breaks... should be three "BBB" and three "GGG" but its not. Its two "GG" so the G's never go over two This is the pattern... G's | B's ---------------- 1 | 1 2 | 2 2 | 3 2 | 4 2 | 5 2 | 6 This is where the pattern breaks again. Now are teacher introduces a new character in the code... so we rule out binary... but not entirely... G's | B's | H's | I's ------------------------------------ 2 | 4 | 2 | 2 | 6 | 2 | 2 | 6 | 2 | The same as above 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | The same as above 2 | 8 | 2 | ------------------------------------ 2 | 4 | | 2 2 | 4 | | 2 The same as above It looks like the pattern is starting all over again but with I's. I will have to think about this
