Here’s your teaser clue:
40614051405348 5344444358 64546057 58605555545759!

That is all they told me about it. I have no clue.

They also sent this picture in the same email, but i'm not sure there is any connection.

The teaser is clearly about the cryptic clue fest

Now how do we solve that...

EDIT: hmm, each word consists of an even amount of numbers. Checked whether it matched ASCII, but that's not the case...

EDIT2: this is what I've got at the moment:
EDIT3: hmm, a word finder got the a possible first word, but I personally doubt it's correct:
EDIT4: oh right, some things were released in advance, like the name of Avalani. Now, that seems like a perfect fit for the first word!

did you crack the encryption (the numbers), or use patter recognition??

Glodenox · **Posted:** July 17th, 2011, 5:51 am

I had to use pattern recognition. It's possible that there's some sort of encryption on it, but I couldn't find it

using what glode said it appears to me its as simple as the number minus 39 to give you the position of the letter in the alphabet.

Code: Select all

- 39 = 1 - A
- 39 = 2 - B
- 39 = 3 - C

Oh, yeah. Then it's easy

Because I started by thinking that the last two words were "clue puzzles", I didn't see how simple it was. I should've checked whether the encryption was easier when I had a good idea of what the first word was

It looks like Glode was right. Cryptic Clue Fest 3?

You can find her near the clan camps.
