Unsolved codes

    • the "2222" might refer to notepad_001_skin3, where there is an entry "door b34 2222"
    • "EL" might be related to the Villa woodboxes code, as both start with "EL"

Red herrings

Possible codes

  • fuses_01 contains 17.22 and 17.52
  • control_panel_003-6_skin1 contains many syllables, which can be used to build words like "ERIK", "MORKO", "NOTHING" and others, while some of them are of no obvious use.
  • credit_card: 4321 7890 0000 4356
  • electricalbox_004: M1 Y23 / M2 Y26 / M3 Y28
  • fuses_02: standing out because of its unusual pattern of codes: G42, H55
  • puzzle_box_016: SW-WFM6-EWL-M52
  • smallelectricalbox_004: Y93 755
  • bulletin_board_002_skin1: handwritten with red marker: "2C"

  • sign_14_skin7: BREAKER 2 / POWERLINE / HW-SBC-2 / BR4 HWNUM+1 O34 C87 EA2 N6

Unsorted

  • height_limit_sign_001_skin2 contains a seemingly hand-written number "6"
    • skin0...skin2 contain "HEIGHT LIMIT 2.2m", "...2.3m", "...2.6m", characters 2, 3 and 6 reversed resolve to the word "tie"
  • train_arrival_monitor_001 should be investigated, could be a red herring.
  • mailbox_skin2 has text encododed in binary saying "the truth is in tunnels / Robin" (all lowercase except the first letter of "Robin").
  • papers_001_skin2: 1959 / 15.3.1983
  • There seems to be an unusual (aka statistically significant) high occurence of "1993" or "93".
  • The right part of "Zunttis rag" (aka scientific_table_001_skin3) is unused, but seems to contain a lot of words.
  • The Wasteland notes "truth" can be extended by "RESEARSTOPPED" from the Wasteland radio morse, resolving the anomaly "T.50=P".
