Ping: Number Puzzle Solvers (ie Quiksand etc)
Get thee to The Mole (starts Jun 2nd) thread ASAP. I'll xpost the info here in case that's easier. Last night there was a series of numbers displayed as part of a mission on The Mole. This show usually hides clues in things like this as to the identity of the mole. The numbers were:
13-21-89 144-233-610 2584-4181 I have discovered that these are all numbers in the Fibonacci Sequence. They are the 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 15, 18, 19th numbers in the sequence. I'm fairly certain there is a coded message hiding here somewhere. Help me find it and win a new car. Or I will tell you thanks. |

OK, I've taken 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 15, 18, 19 and applied them to the alphabet backwards (1=Z, 26=A) etc. to get:
T, S, P, O, N, L, I, H This comes pretty close with: Craig: Education: B.A. Point Loma Nazarene University There might be something here. Looking for something else, now. |

There is a Point Loma High School. Looking into that now.

You seem to be figuring this out pretty well. So, uh, what exactly did you need the rest of us for? Moral support?

Well, I've convinced myself that it refers to Point Loma High School, which is in San Diego. Craig is from San Diego. Maybe I'm wrong, but whatever.

I think it's a clue that the mole has a scat fetish for old music formats.

I think you made a misstep in assuming the numbers represented the Fibonacci sequence. After dividing the numbers into four groups, I multiplied the lowest two numbers in each group and subtracted the number from the highest two numbers (put together to create a two-digit number with the lower number being the second digit). With the remaining four numbers, I created every combination of outcome based upon multiplication, subtraction, division, and addition. With that sequence of numbers I made a function to which I applied a Fourier transform. I converted the outputted numbers in the frequency domain to letters by applying a repetitive 1 through 26 pattern. My result:

First/middle initials of Mark's wife and kids? I don't know what they are, but something else to try and match up...
