yes, i am talking about the megajoules bit. and its close to 20000 - round figure. :smile:



wahhh i cant get it to work! what am i doing wrong? i convert the kj i have into mj and then convert the cubic meter accordingly but its not working

My advice would be, convert everything to Joules and cubic centimeters.

gold's sequence makes no sense


I've got the scientist, and cracked code in what seems to be the sensible way, but now have a string of 11 letters, that don't make sense. Tried lots of obvious guesses as other people said they guessed message, but no joy. Am I missing something obvious?
The string of 11 letters just tells you how long the message is. He recently died... its related.
