You don?t need any Pink Floyd knowledge any moore to solve the enigma. Now you should use some basic skills from your time in school

AHAH!I can finally say I've solved this perplexing monster

And since I'm not bound by the rules of silence like our good friend FromNorth, I'll help you all get headed in the right direction

All's you need is a copy of The Book Of The Dead, in Hebrew, two Coke cans (Pepsi won't work), a working toilet, and a pretty recent picture of your mom.
If you get that stuff and you still can't figure it out, well, I wouldn't bother calling NASA any time soon if I were you.

Just had a look at the enigma and well, solved it. Have sent FromNorth a PM, don't know if I'm supposed to post the answer here or not.

Gem:

You have the right answer. I think we should give other forum members the chance to solve it before we post the answer.

you should post the answer and lock the topic and open another one for other users to post their solutions

...or just post it because I'm sure there's only one solution

THIS poll only has 16 votes so far, and I know that a lot more people than that are watching this thread. So people ought to vote, and discuss their opinions. IMO that's the only fair way to make a decision on this thread.

Or Gunnar can pull rank over everyone ultimately, as this emigma is his baby in the first place!

Well done Gem

....don't tell me the answer yet !! Even if it gets to the point where I offer you money (pretty unlikely

)

How is it going... Should I publish the answer?

Yes.

If you wait for everyone to solve it individually, some people will die of natural causes before they ever find out

Here is the answer:

?We made this album because we love the music of Pink Floyd? I thought it would bee nice to have this secret message on the front cover.

The numbers represent the alphabet:

A 26
B 25
C 24
D 23
E 22
F 21
G 20
H 19
I 18
J 17
K 16
L 15
M 14
N 13
O 12
P 11
Q 10
R 09
S 08
T 07
U 06
V 05
W 04
X 03
Y 02
Z 01

So the message becomes like this

we made this album because we love
04 22 14 26 23 22 07 19 18 8 26 15 25 6 14 25 22 24 26 06 08 22 04 22 15 12 5 22

the music of pink floyd
07 19 22 14 06 08 18 24 12 21 11 18 13 16 21 15 12 02 23

Hovewer, I thought this was to simple. I added the birthday of David Gilmoure 060346, and grouped the numbers in sets of six, like this.

042214+060346=102560
262322+060346=322668
071918+060346=132264
082615+060346=142961
250614+060346=310960
252224+060346=312570
260608+060346=320954
220422+060346=280768
151205+060346=211551
220719+060346=281065
221406+060346=281752
081824+060346=142170
122111+060346=182457
181316+060346=241662
211512+060346=271858
022300+060346=082646

Daves Birthday is the key to solve this. I ended the number row with his birthday numbers and placed one of the avatars with Dave adjacent above. So this is how one of the avatars is linked to the numbers.

Next time I think I will do a more difficult enigma

Oi, I want a prize for solving the enigma. Feeling smug just isn't as rewarding as one might expect. So gimme.

[size=0]This, by the way, is not to be taken seriously.[/size]

O, Yes, I take it very seriously

I will talk to Damn!t about it. In another thread he offered a drink to the winner. If you submit some interesting picture to the artwork for vol 2, I think we can do something special with it.

I also want to thank all forum members who has tried to solve this enigma. Thank You!
