Clue #138 - HansoExposed.com Update
If you log in to hansoexposed.com, you'll see a blinking star next to the "Send Sequence" button. Press the "star button" to listen to 4 minutes, 13 seconds of Morse Code. According to PeaceandNamaste and mamomk in our comments, translating this gives us us "M--I wish it were that simple. Fact is, as much as I want to, I still can't trust you. I want to believe you are the man who helped me in Paris but "de Zylva's" name was not unknown. You could be Mittlewerk himself, springing a trap under my feet. I need confirmation it's you. I need you to tell me something only you could know."
Thanks to makomk, Maven, RyanDrumz, and PeaceandNamaste for emailing us about this clue.

Oh, man - I finally got around to posting, and then got left behind in the last thread! Oh well, top 20 for me!
I think the next message will have to elude to Rachel's personal reasons for this crusade. Here's hoping, anyway!
The start of the message was the only thing I got translated...LOL M--
ox, that is too funny
we better get some real info, and not some hokey "no one knows you like I know you, Rachel" line
ewww.....
dazz: sounded kind of an andrew dice clay routine being broadcast on cbs at primetime!
I have to say, our team at TLEC is really on the ball! Great work everyone, for the past few clues! :-)
That is funny ox...ADC.. haha
It will probably have something to do with Rachel's mom. Didn't IronMan know her?
admins check your email... i sent you a present!
Peaceandnamaste-I really like the idea that maybe Malek will give us that missing info. about Rachel as proof. I HOPE some answers to our questions are coming soon!
Also, thanks to everyone who worked on this, I am in the same boat as dazzedelf, and can't participate at work really except at lunch:(.
i checked in on the numbers forum to see if they beat us to it. someone in there is claiming they solved dixxee's clue from yesterday, but pandora nobly defended dixxee's honor!
share with the rest of the class tapdawg.... :(
oooooooh, tapdawg's in trouble for passing notes! please read aloud!

I would have had it translated sooner, but I was AFK when the update was made, so I started about 10-15 minutes late.
Oh well...
Well THANKS A BUNCH to pandora!! although I did not solve it, only discovered it. rmofr solved it.
oxillini said... i checked in on the numbers forum
There are other forums? :)
hmm fine i'll post my info here.... but i hope it goes to the frontpage too
this is from next week's tv guide (September 18th-24th):
Lost's Numbers Finally Add Up
ABC's online Lost supplement, the Lost Experience, delivered a major payoff on September 8th. An unlocked video detailed how a mathematician was commisionned by the United Nations in 1962 to calculate the timetable for humanity's extinction.
The resulting Valenzetti's Equation was based on factors represented by Egyptian Hieroglyphics, each of which was assigned a numerical value: 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, and 42, aka what would become Hurley's cursed digits. Though the Hanso Foundation created the Dharma Inititiave to stave off the forecast apocalypse, the foundation's impatient acting president Dr. Thomas Mittlewerk is itching to unleash a virus that will snub 30 percent of the world's population.
Fans who followed the Experience may someday experience deja vu when watching LOST on TV. Says Michael Benson, senior vice president of marketing for ABC: "There's no reason [the Experience's events] can't be integrated into the program." - Reported by Matt Webb Mitovich
Looks good belly - now go check email for tapdawg... :)
dennis: there are other forums, but this is the only community
group hug everybody!
those bold areas i made bold to show we either have confirmation or new information in those areas
wow - that sounded teacher-like.. I am NO teacher... whew.. sorry belly.. going back to doing work now...
tapdawg: good stuff! i guess tptb are happy to leve the meaning of the numbers as, "they go in the equation" with no further information.
wow tapdawg! great article... thanks for sharing!!!!
"based on factors represented by Egyptian Hieroglyphics"? SO, does this mean that the glyphs do mean something?
WV: exdtwm -- ex'd TWM....
HAHA peace.. that would be funny.... TWM got X'd... better than being punked? HAHA
hey all just catching up on today's excitement

I don't suppose there's a bar called O'Malley's in Norway... ;-)
the hieroglyphs were tied to the equation when rachel talked to the director of the vik institute. it was speculated on here that the hieroglyphs were used as representations of portions of the full equation.
ahh yes.. I remember that. Thanks for the reminder OX...
Good work on the morse code everybody. I made some of the changes you guys mentioned to the frontpage. Let us know if there are further updates needed. Good article tapdawg!
Where is fastenyourseatbelts? I need her to give us the cliffnotes version of this message from Rachel! :)
that's right oxi - almost forgot about that after the long drought of info. trying ot get glyphs.
Yes Ox this is the only community, but the next time you initiate a group hug, keep those roaming hands of yours to yourself... lol
dedjezter: that was you? oops!

Sunday: RB - You're a jerk.
Monday: M - But you love me.
Tuesday: RB - No I don't.
Wednesday: M - You really love me...you wanna kiss me...you wanna hold me...
Thursday: RB - You sound like Sandra Bullock talking to Benjamin Bratt in Miss Congeniality
Friday: M - So you dig guys that quote chick flicks?
Saturday: RB - You're hopeless.
awesome admin! could that devolve into "i know you are but what am i?"
also, thanks to everyone for the lighter mood today. yesterday afternoon was a little more heated than i'm used to on this forum.
Ox,
Very easily. A great potential for "I'm rubber, you're glue..."
Re: Yesterday
Frankly, I was a little surprised at the intensity of responses to the DJ Dan thing. Remember though that it was a very small minority that took it too far. Most people just took it for what it was and moved on. :)
I gotta get some lunch. As Speaker would say... *poof*
Maybe rachel should just learn how to text message. wouldn't that be simpler?
Great work everyone! Just proves how TLEC community all works together.
Thanks for that article, tapdawg. The best things about it is that TLE is going to show up in the show S3!
This is such a GREAT Community!!!!!
Thanks for that comparison, peaceandnamaste. There's definitely been alot of speculation about the actual glyphs...even what the borders mean! And what about those word clues? "Narvik" seems to be panning out to something.
goingdark: I think the producers stated that those glyphs meant "underworld" instead of what we translated it as (cause to die). I believe that came out at ComicCon (correct me if I'm wrong about that). There was a lot of discussion as to what THAT meant....hades, hell...or that umderwater hatch that seems to be hinted at in the promos.
Hi all! Can anyone tell me where I can see an online preview of S3? I'm having LOST withdrawals. Thanks.
Check out here: Youtube Season 3 Preview search
Dixxee and Ocki: Thanks so much. Now I can get my LOST fix!
vitruvian man: Thanks for those links.
Sometimes we do tend to overanalyze, don't we? You're mostly likely correct that TPTB just needed some glyph-like stuff for 70 codes. And they grabbed whatever they could find. LOL.
My take on the glyphs.
1. Why wouldn't they actually mean something? Sure, Rachel may have simply needed a way to package her codes in a way that would be recognizable, but why would she choose to attach "language" to the codes unless she was trying to communicate something extra. I have had a sneaking suspicion that there is something more to the glyphs.
2. I have been thinking that seeking a message in the glyphs was "someone else's" job and have been too lazy to do any actual research regarding the meanings of individual characters. Sounds like Vitruvian Man has gotten us off to a good start...has anybody REALLY looked into each individual character and tried to piece anything together? Sounds like a job for the Research Bloggers :)
man.. been watching the Season 3 promo's and trailers and such... I need to watch my dvd's again soon....just to refresh!
Thanks Dixxee and Ocki for those promo vids. WOW, it makes me shiver when I heard Fenry say "We're the good guys"...
Water Hatch, hell yes...Looks cool
RE: Glyphs comments...I thought that a LONG time ago...I tried compiling the glyohs on my blog and was trying to find someone smarter than I to research them...it never took off. No one seemed to agree that it was worth a look.
Good luck on this one, I hope it gets posted here if someone sees something from them!
Looking at all those promos one after another is awesome! Looks like TPTB are going to live up to their promises for once! LOL Fenry is soooo spooky!
YAY top 100 but is this gonna b phase 4???? lol
Thanks guys for the promos. Can't wait for S3 to start!
Cam794 said... YAY top 100 but is this gonna b phase 4???? lol
IMO, WhereIsAlvar.com IS phase 4, and we are just waiting for Phase 5, which will start either after the DJ Dan or WIA goes to 100%
Hi everybody! Just a quick fly by...on a business trip in North Carolina today. Sorry I wasn't around to summarize today's clue, but I see that admin and peaceandnamaste were able to take care of that.
Honestly when a girl says, "I want to believe you're the man who helped me...springing a trap....tell me something..."
What she's really asking:
Does this Norwegian disguise make me look fat?
Heaven help him if he answers wrong.
LOL fasten!
It's either that or "tell me ironman, do you like me, or do you LIKE like me?"
The next message will end in "circle yes no or maybe"
and if he answers no, then the next coded message we get will be....
"oh yeah? well i totally hooked up with deZylva when we were in Sri Lanka."
melissa - "Do you wanna dance? Or do you wanna dance?"
thebookpolice - I actually laughed out loud at that one! My cubicle neighbors will think I'm crazy... er, CRAZIER.
Well all, it has been a fun filled week, but today is my Friday also. I am off work the next 2 days and then in training Monday through Wednesday. Will try to check in every once in a while, but won't officially be on till Thursday next week. Happy clue hunting!
Bye belly! We'll miss having you around. I hope things don't fall apart with you gone! :)
This may have already been discussed before, but has anyone tried to decrypt the complete sequence of characters produced by the "solved" video? I mean, trying to translate meaning out of the glyphs is one thing, but doesn't it make more sense to embed a scrambled message in the actual "text" of the fragments?
Well, see ya dixxee and belly, you'll all be missed....Hopefully you won't miss to much.
LOL, you guys are too funny in here....
Comment 108 !!!
Hi just poppin' in,
nice bit of action earlier.
Speaking of absentees - has anyone seen Marcus?
I'm bored.
I long for the time when I was slightly less bored waiting for glyphs to reveal 3-5 seconds of video.

you beat me to it peaceandnamaste! :)
Admin, since you're on now....
How 'bout a little podcast?
belly,
My bad. I actually think that I thought you accidentally posted a bad link. I couldn't figure out what you were trying to do so I removed it. There was some confusion b/c I came in from lunch midpost and didn't realize that you'd already started it. I was too busy digesting my Muchaco!

LSHNEMB!!
Love what you did with his name! (No offense intended, Mr. Mouse.)
twinkle:
shouldn't that be "LSHINEMB"?
Ummmm...laughing so hard nanites exploded my brain?
What's yours?
engineer27,
:)
I would love to do a podcast but I'm doing a poor job managing my pace of life right now and I've got a lot of "real world" investments I making with my time and energy that are keeping me more busy than I'd like to be. My job involves a lot of "people care" and so some seasons are just more full than others. We had some extra help during the summer but now the workload has really picked back up.
I promise we're not finished but I can't figure out WHEN we'll be back. I'm so sorry to let people down. :(
oodles: I checked and yeah, marcus hasn't been on in days. Hope it's for good reasons.
I think it means this = Laughed so hard nanites exploded my brain...
Not sure...
You're doing great, Admin. We know you love us! :-D Let us know if we can be of any assitance. Spoof e-mails between Malek and Rachel would be funny like the ones FYSB did last post. Or we could send you what we want DJ Dan to talk about.
Admin:
In no way have you or are you letting anyone down. I was just checking to see if we could expect something. It'll be great when it happens, so worth any wait....
twinkle:
Yours is better. I thought you were trying to say "Laughing So Hard I Nearly Emptied My Bladder".
Today was a goofy day, huh? I liked it. Much better than the holy wars that we had yesterday :)
Back to business though...is anyone going to step up and take the reigns on the glyph/code projects? We've got to know definitively if anything is there. I'll do some research to see what has already been done but I'm afraid I don't have the passion or the know how to really tackle it.
I'm about to head out the door but I'll check in later to see if anybody is going to take the ball and run with it.
engineer27: Thanks!
Admin: Me too. I'm really curious but I don't know how to go about researching. And we don' t even have all the glyphs.
Well, I'll definetly be your co-host again if needed...Just let me know anytime and I'm down fo sho. Later Admin...
Glyph Project, I can't even look at those things anymore...gives me the chilly willies...LOL
DEAD LAST lol. keep up the good work Dave
Dang it!!! You beat me Professor, but then again, I just took you down...Yeah Dog. LOL
In the mean time, what do we want DJ Dan to talk about? Is the consensus that Rachel is going to call in again? (Are we tired of discussing this? I haven't read every post the last few days.)

Lets Try that again:
Re: glyphs...Hansolow's blog has them all together.
http://thelostzone.blogspot.com/
Also, there is a message board thread started that never really took off:
http://www.drkdesign.com/cluesmb/viewtopic.php?t=515
Don't know why blogger messed up the links so I didn't activate them.
BTW, who manages the TLEC message board? Just curious. I never go to it cause this blogger stuff is way better. Thanks in advance...
ange: Hansolow's glyph chart is really cool. It also shows that we don't have all the glyphs. There's a question for unanswered questions. Are the missing glyph pictures important?
Anybody have a list like Matt the Pale's with the pictures and all in the order they ended up on the sequence?
"They Fell From the Sky"
glyphs, gods and gonads....so for mature eyes only..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Min_(god)
(this is a wikipedia link, but is still very explicite)
Could a Promo be a clue??
Well, hopefully we won't have like 8 yy old kids calling in to DJ Dan like last time asking stupid questions.
But, even when a good question was asked, all he did was turn the question around on you saying "Well, what do you think...blah,blah,blah" and then he would make fun of you and SHUTDOWN!!!
It will be hard, but the questions need to be real good. And if anybody call and tries that on you...Say "DJ Dan, I asked YOU the question and I want YOUR opinion"
Just my $0.02
sorry for the typos
8 yr old
CORRECTION - And if anybody calls and he tries that on you...Say yada yada yada
Meni has, in this case, also been translated as: 'God of Destiny' and 'God of Fate' or simply 'Destiny' or 'Fate'.
follow the Min link above to this one at Min bottom to read
"12. number--"doom" you. Alluding to the "number," as Meni (Isaiah 65:11) means. Retribution in kind, the punishment answering to the sin (compare 2 Chronicles 36:14-17).
Inspiration:
"These hieroglyphics have evidently a meaning. If it is a purely arbitrary one, it may be impossible for us to solve it. If, on the other hand, it is systematic, I have no doubt that we shall get to the bottom of it."
Sherlock Holmes (in The Adventure of the Dancing Men)
Wow you guys were funny today. I missed all the fun- darn family! j/k Oh well. Who's working on the glyphs?
PeaceAndNamaste: Thanks!
Ryan: I hear you! He totally turned everything around. Do you figure it will be more of the same or will he actually *say* something?
I haven't caught up on the comments on the top but from what you all have been saying about how funny it was, I can't wait!
Hey, I don't know if anyone's here, or if this has been mentioned - no time to catch up - but ABC showed a preview of the new season tonight. I just watched the drama preview at 9:30 Eastern time. At the end, just before 10, there was a segment on Lost.
***spoiler***
They showed a clip from season 3 with Sawyer in a cage. He pushes a button marked with a knife and fork and gets a warning message. A kid in a different cage (sounded like Sawyer called him Kyle) warns him not to do that, but he pushes it again and is blasted back.
They also played the same spot that I've seen on Youtube, although the earlier spots say "65 days ago. they fell from the sky" and the one tonight said "67 days ago."
Again, sorry if someone already mentioned this. I don't have time to check through the comments, but I wanted the folks on the west coast to catch it if they could.
Good night, everyone!

Twinkle-I just hope DJDan answers our questions a little better, but I have a feeling it might be the same. It seems like TPTB use these call-ins to get an understandig of how the game is going from real people, which is cool. It would be nice for him to get into our questions a little more. We'll just have to see.
RE: This Phase
I think this phase isn't that bad. It sure is cool when we are all trying to decode these messages and I think this will be over by Friday anyways ...We are all just so glyphed out, we need to step back and realize that the game will only get better.
Melissa-That's cool. I saw the promo vids that Ocki and Dixxee posted earlier, but I don't remember any of that. Only the cage part. The kid kyle and the buttton is new I think. Now I need to rewatch them...
Sorry for the long post, and see ya in the morning
this best just be like the interval inbetween the III and IV or i think MtP will be writing another letter we'll all have to read, so dear god TPTB make it better pleaseeee :p
Hi Guys
Not sure if anyone is awake / online but hey ho.
I had a look at the Glyphs - Nothing obvious lept out at me, they are certainly not in norse runes, Ogham Script or any of the medival 'magical alphabets' like Malachim. I used to have some books on ancient alphabets but I'm pretty sure I sold them all on eBay. Some of then remind me of (native american) indian pictograms but I'm no expert, one in particular reminded me of the figure of Kokopelli.
With regards the podcast somone a while back suggested we all contributed some audio and did a group TLEC podcast - sounds a good idea to me. I'm happy to have a go at doing a segment - not sure what on but it's worth a shot.
Hi Matt, that wouldn't be the one by Nigel Pennick would it?
Mmn very interesting, so who is the loved one - Rachel's Mum?
Hi just checkin' in. Very interesting alright. Can we presume Malik is talking about Alvar then? And the loved one... Could be anyone really but Rachel's mum sounds good.
uh, that's a tricky one
*** New Thread ***
duh, I was wondering why rissy5959 was saying that he/she was one in NY. Didn't know that was the solution!
How did you do it? Tried all kinds of conversions.
Hi Guys
If you decode it from Octal you get IiY'nCmN.- I'm none the wiser
I'm in NYC
solved
Man I can't believe it I just solved an anagram - I did it by hand and I can never do anagrams
Woo hoo
