Question

Treasure Hunt #4 – Secret of the Blueprint

FIF, andromeda and ST rushed to professor office, although it was almost the midnight, but the security guard knew them and let them entered to the blocks.

Once they reached at Professor Templeton’s office, FIF knocked the door.

“Come in,” Professor answered.

They opened the door; the room was dark. Andromeda found the switch and turned the lights on. To their surprise, they saw professor was tied on his chair and blindfolded. But he remained calm. There were 2 men passed out and lying on the floor. One of them the head was bleeding. They very soon recognized who is the one with the head injured: Professor Ernest Wise’s assistant, Roy.

FIF quickly unfastened the rope and handkerchief from Professor Templeton. Then they quickly moved away from the block in a very short time. Professor Templeton brought also some important documents and the thing that where Professor Ernest’s blueprint kept with them. (refer to Blueprint to the victory for details)

They rented a motel since they knew places they used to stay were not safe for the moment.

Professor sat on the sofa, took a sip of water, contacted Inspector Slick about the incidents, and then started telling the story:

Roy, Professor Ernest’s assistant sneaked into his room, asking for the blueprint. Professor Templeton mentioned it was too late, because the competition was over.

Roy: Ha, who interested in the competition? What I want is the paper! Now tell me where you keep it?

Professor Templeton: I will never let you know!

Roy then raised his anger and hit Professor Templeton. The next moment Professor Templeton was sober, he found himself being tied on his chair and blindfolded. At that time, he heard another strange voice.

Stranger: Are you searching for those items too?

Roy: Items? No! I just want the piece of paper!

Stranger: You are useless, you can’t keep the paper, you have been under arrested and now you are going to screw up my plan? Get moving from here now!

Roy: Once I get the paper back, I will leave.

Stranger: Leave all to me. You just get lost!

Roy: You and your fat hope! You want to gain all the credits? Never!

Stranger: Then take this!

(Professor Templeton then heard the glass broken voice, and a moan. The stranger then approached to Professor Templeton)

Stranger: Now tell me! Where are those things you and the kids took from the room? Why don’t you just take the coins and leave those items behind? Where are they now? (Refer to The Secret Tunnel )

Professor: I don’t know what you are talking about

Stranger: Don’t know? Hah, never mind then, wait until your students figure out what I mean and meet at here then…..

(Professor Templeton then heard another knocking voice and then get everything went silence, until FIF and the gang came)

“It must be Roy hit the stranger’s head to make him faint, before he truly passed out.” FIF guessed.

“I am surprised that he is actually eyeing of the paper of the blue print, but not what was drawn on the blue print.”

“So what is so special about this paper?” ST took out the blue print and opened up widely to inspect.

“Well, besides the design that Professor Ernest drawn, I can’t see anything else.”

Suddenly, the whole town had electricity black out! Everything became dark…..except the blueprint: Some words written on the paper which it couldn’t be seen in the bright were now glowing in the dark.

A brail no log attach, be prepare, two aced baskets extol

We take itch away when we feel too pain

Twin sheets, meal bonus, silo jumping

Jog a yard, ear nose throat are on, who win?

ppo : 59.53+9.10939-31 #

u3^3 : 84.74+1.6022-19+104+1.6605-27+3-sqrt(-1) #

“So, this must be the secret of the paper. I wonder how professor Ernest could have this paper?” FIF asked with shock.

“Those are Roy’s hand writings except the last 2 lines, I can recognize it. I think maybe he copied from somewhere on this paper in a rush while working in the office. But then Professor Ernest accidentally took it for drawing his creation for the competition.” Andromeda guessed.

“And Roy keep trying to get back the paper, his action made Professor misunderstood and thought Roy is eyeing of his drawing.” ST continued.

“Poor Wise, if he not mistook this paper sheet, he may not be killed.” Professor Templeton sighed.

The electricity supply is on again. But they managed to copy everything from the paper and what they plan to do now is try to understand what do those words mean? It has caused Professor Ernest killed and get Professor Templeton in trouble. They swore to find out the answer!

Question for episode 4: What is the secret message written on the paper?

what I see so far.....

for the odd lines take the letter in the prime number....

so for

a brail no log attach, be prepare two aced baskets extol....becomes Bring the pocket

and

Twin sheets meal bonus silo jumping becomes wise man son jr. I think...

Working on the even lines....need to figure out what Powerful Number means.

# is also known as a pound sign so is a pound the powerful number?

Not correct for this hunt. :)

it depends.....

if you want it taken to a house..then manson, if this is the case, the spelling would need to be adjusted to mansion

else it would be pocketwatch.

Closing with answer:

ST started making some guess: Could the we take itch away when we feel too pain, mean st. something? The Jog a yard thing, mentioned about ear nose throat are on, could it mean the faceout?

Andromeda: You mean some kind of word or letter subtraction? Sound possible, let’s work it out.

FIF: Don’t forget about those numbers and the ppo and u3^3 mean? I don’t think those can use the same theory of subtraction of words/letters.

Someone knocked the door then. Andromeda and ST quickly hid the paper under Professor Templeton’s document. Somehow it was not totally hidden.

“Hi, I am the owner of the motel here, my boy told me that there are 4 of you checked in to 1 room, I just like to know is there any necessary for us to add more blanket and pillows?” the person walked in after FIF opened the door.

“Dawq, is there you?” Professor Templeton stood up suddenly.

“Templeton! What a surprise! Why would you….ah! I see, you bring your students to do some studies outdoor, right!”, Dawq enter and hold Professor Templeton’s hand warmly.

“I wish I could go outdoor study, but now we have some serious thing to do.” Professor answered.

“Sounds like most of the time you aren’t do anything seriously! :lol: Wait, yes, ingenius, put those pillow and blanket near the coffee table.” Dawq ordered one of his part time worker, ingenius, who just brought over some pillows and blankets.

Ingenius put the stuff besides the table, notice the portion of the paper exposed and

“Wow, a very cool way to right the even as such!”

“Pardon me? “ ST asked.

“I am referring to this, here, isn’t that ‘even’ word?”, ingenius pointed the u3^3 and accidentally moved the documents up a little bit, and yelled “But the odd doesn’t look impressive,”

“I see now, so ppo is odd and u3^3 is even.” Andromeda realized.

“We suppose to read it upside down, that’s sounds like what Kathleen like to do when she got something she can’t understand on the paper!” ST said with cheerful voice.

Then as usual, FIF with his cool voice spoke “I am not throwing a wet blanket, but then may I ask what the series of number there mean?”

“I also don’t know,” ingenius shook his head.

“OK, ingenius, got back to your work!” Dawq ordered.

After ingenius left the room. Dawq sit beside Professor Templeton and asked, “my friend, are you facing some trouble here?”

Professor then told him the story without any hesitation. Why should he hesitate? Ernest Wise is also friend of Dawq too. Dawq nodded his head along the story Professor told. He realized by solving the paper could also help his professor friend here.

“OK, kids lets solve it together.” Dawq then took out the whole paper, and glance through everything, then he sported the meaning of the clues and found the answer to be:

ppo : 59.53.+9.10939-31 #

Ppo = odd

59 = Pr, 53=I, 9.10939-31 = me (mass of electron), #=number

It means: Odd: Prime Number!

And

u3^3 : 84.74.+1.6022-19+104+1.6605-27+3-sqrt(-1) #

u3^3 = even

84 = Po, 74=W, 1.6022-19=e, 104=Rf, 1.6605-27=u, 3=Li, sqrt(-1) = I, #=number

It means Even: Powerful number

So:

Prime numbers are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59 …..and,

Powerful numbers are 1, 4, 8, 9, 16, 25, 27, 32, 36, 49, 64, 72, …..

So took the letter located at prime number place for odd line, and located at powerful number place for even line, we have:

Bring the pocket watch to Wise Manson, Jade Town!

Professor heard it and stood up one more then. His whole body shivered and said“Wise Manson, now I remember! I really remember it now! How could I ever forget about Wise Manson?”

Dawq comforted him and replied, “Even I also forgot about it. I almost mis-read it as the Wise man son! It has to been so long for us to be there”

Professor looked at Dawq. He grabbed Dawq both shoulder and said “I saw a room similar like the study room of Wise’s grandfather! But I can’t recognize it on the spot! I can’t recognize it later. I only remember now as you mentioned the Wise Manson!”

“Professor, are you OK? You seems to be over reacting,” andromeda approached to Professor.

“Wise Manson, is Professor Ernest Wise old home in Jade town. We used to play at the house when we were the kid. It is a long story, I tell you sometime later.”

“So now we have to visit the Wise Manson, again, after long-long time. But what does the pocket watch mean?”

ST slowly stood out from the back of andromeda and said “It was me who took the pocket watch out from the secret room.” She then show the pocket watch which she brought wherever she went.

“You did! So they are sneaking in to our room is because of the pocket watch you took!” FIF raised his voice. ST was scared, but then she saw FIF face turned to excitement. “Well done! ST, now we can continue our journey for the next treasure hunt, at Wise Manson!”

So most probably epison 5 will only posted after Chrismas. :)

New role add in: Dawq! :)

I love it! :D

I'm still not sure how does this relate to any of my Hunts. Maybe the Bee riddle but... :blink: Is that where you got the idea from? :)

Yay... you inspired me and then I inspired you... :lol: That's cool!

Well I should say the bee (20%) but the zip (80%) contribute the inspiration!

I mean the word formed from the letters hidden in a paragraph of message. That's inspire me.

Yay! That's really cool, don't you see there is more and more treasure hunts' threads posted here? That's nice! :lol:
