Does “Time reveals all things” mean the encryption has something to do with clocks? Maybe a base12 or base24 encryption?
It can’t be base12 system, since it only uses characters 0-9 and A-B.
BUT it can be base24. Or… base21. Think about it - 21 goes into 1. base21 -> decimal?
10812096270186756779410352953458849636995664724253296661729923672711216502088125042261671770718923322791315829296557654003480099577704901587854204993672788961099841971059539821046908463407932612538035...This is the result.
And in hex:
4507EFEFBA17F4FF59A599D2FE7883683815FDB143D421843B66428F10BA9A349316C3141207EE4C577BA290C11F196E1CB088E2A14184DC5358915C92244FFB7F7C049E9AD7AF3AA4AA871AA0AF79E25837BF548472E219289FC46D7C6A0802947FEE07...This conversion has possibly revealed something quite interesting:
The first block is only 2 digits! This means that two sets of text may be gotten from the same set of hex. Keep in mind that an important factor in the Asymmetric Encryption is the use of two private keys, and two public keys.

I’m am still in the process of translating both of these, and I look forward to the input of all of you.
The whole 21 in 1 thing has me thinking, what if the hex code is actually mixed up. as in its not in the correct order and the 21 digit is the 1st digit. that means every 21 after that would be the next digit giving you a whole new hext code that might be able to be decoded correctly?
also isnt 21 a Fibonaci Number? where you add the first numbers together, to get the next one? 0 + 1 = 1, 1 + 1 = 2, all the way up to 21?
Have you added fours and threes before each character?
how do you mean?
I have added nothing. I simply took Astij’s ASCII code and converted it into hex. All of those fours occur naturally.
Anyone check the terminal as of late? It changed to this:
It has come to my attention that strange messages have been appearing throughout Black Mesa, and have been causing somewhat of a conunDrum concerning what has become known as “The Pizza Code Mystery”.
I have long suspected that there was something stRange going on during the development of this facility. The unexplained disappearances, misappropriation of funds regarding cheesy oven-baked bread products and an ominous feeling that something is constantly watching this all from the shadows, Have added up to create something that needs solving, and sOlving fast.
As a result, I am offering a small reward to the first peRson that can solve this mystery and provide me with the answers I need. Together, I’m sure you caN crack this.
If you take the random capitals thrown within this, it says DRHORN. What can we make of this?
EDIT: One of my friends is digging around the bmrf.us website and found a couple pics, notably this one: https://bmrf.us/img/zero-point.png
Anyone notice the color of the gravity gun? It’s blue. And that only happens when it’s supercharged, which only happened in HL2.
Eli said it was barely stable when Black Mesa fell. Why is the image there? Not sure, we’re trying to make something out of it.
the Dr Horn has already been found quite a while back.
There are two terminal sites (that we know of):
- https://terminal.blackmesasource.com/ (see Terminal wiki page)
- https://terminal.bmrf.us/ (see BMRF.us wiki page)
I like this idea, considering that the congratulationsyouwonthepizza was triangular clue. Also, why does https://gman.blackmesasource.com/ exist? Have we figured out what this is for? It’s exactly the same as the regular site.
Edit: I was looking at the /img files on blackmesasource.com, and found two unusual files. Firstly, there was paper.png https://blackmesasource.com/img/ui/paper.png and intro02.png https://blackmesasource.com/img/ui/intro02.png. The first one probably contains something, but i find the second one most interesting
If someone want to try out the paillier cryptosystem, i’ve patched together a webpage for it here, using a proof of concept implementation found here.
disclaimer: It may or may not work as intended :] (it should though)
I ran a couple of the words that I have been able to translate from the TEXT MANIFESTS above, and I receive returns for these two inputs:
public key: the Noriyuki pass
“Lambda Key”: Chad A
These two render:
17bb 4d6a 1907 12b1
Something interesting which appears from this small piece of hex: 4d6a renders the character 䵪, which represents, “pure black, to omit, to forget, to wonder about doing nothing”
In light of the prototype decyptor, I will go ahead and display my current translations for the TEXT MANIFESTS 1 & 2.

Im starting to think where just going around in circles and its not giving us anything worth of note. Its probably a lot more simple than we think.
Some of this looks very good. Very promising indeed.
A lot of symbols dont seem to translate into anything. The problem is those that we can translate usually dont have a english counterpart, or are very out of context. Like the first 2 symbols of TM2 is “Cakes” and “a variety of bamboo shoots that sprout in winter” the second which has no english word.
EDIT : did the first 8
“Cakes”
“a variety of bamboo shoots that sprout in winter”
“music instruments made of clay”
“containers for water or wine used in ancient times”
“well-stacked (figure etc.), full, plump,food,cakes”
“yellow, used in person’s name”
“slits on the lower part of a gown for freedom of movement”
“name of a variety of grass, a kind of vegetable”
Okay maybe not then
