If anybody wants to know how to get past the page with the red binary in the background, click the 'Asia awaits...' link. The username and password is Alexander/Gordian.

There are various clues on the pages which lead you through the site. The red binary translated into ascii gives you 4 lots of 3 numbers, seperated by spaces. These numbers translated into ascii (again) spell out the word 'KNOT'.

If you view the source of the page, you will find this riddle spelled out with ascii art:
Alexander cut me,
An oracle predicted me,
A future king tied me,
Say my name to clear your path

For anybody not familiar with the tale (like I was), searching on Google will tell you that Alexander the great cut the Gordian knot. http://sangha.net/messengers/alexander/legends.htm

This is how the username and password was found to get onto the next page. This is how you must progress through the site, but it does get very difficult on some of the later pages. It is a very interesting and creepy puzzle, and I don't believe anybody has solved it yet.

1.Whats the username?
2.What's the password?

If you're talking about the first page, the username is : Alexander and the password is: Gordian

I think it might be case sensitive.

Ahhh, I tried that last time but I think I made a spelling mistake :redface:

On the van one, after the red binary page...

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

Does that mean anything to anyone? I viewed the page source and found that. I might be looking at the wrong thing completely...

aaargh this is really getting on my nerves now, I'm on the patients page too, and the only things i've found are the digits at the bottom of the screem if you highlight it, and that the german phrase (or whatever language it is) means something along the lines of "The boy will only die"

I was just thinking that :smile:



Right, so far on this van/patients thing, we have:

'The name of the place goes where the place you go is named.' (On view source thingy...)
When highlighted, a load of numbers at the bottom of the page.
The title numbers.
When left clicking on the image, a pop up displaying the time, the date, and a message saying 'De jongen zal alleen sterven'. Which according to Bitewing translates to something along the lines of "the boy will only die".

So what on earth do we do next?!

'The name of the place goes where the place you go is named.' is also shown when the mouse hovers over the van (just right of the globe on the van), not that that really helps us!
When you first open the page, have your speakers turned on...

What does it say/ what can you hear? I can't get the page to fully download so I can't hear the audio.
