Strange Puzzle

Hana sent out a new text message:

I received a strange puzzle. Perhaps from Drucker? Maybe you can solve it. Go to www.samantha48616e61.com.

She also sent out an email:

Subject: A mysterious puzzle

I received a strange puzzle of some kind in my email today. I can’t figure it out, but I think it might hold another clue to the mysterious Richard Drucker. Try and solve it at my blog. Go to www.samantha48616e61.com.

Hana just updated her blog:

I received another strange email today. This seems to be some kind of puzzle. I wasn’t able to solve it, but maybe you can. Could it be another clue to the mystery that is Richard Drucker? I think so.

Easy | Medium | Hard

After solving any one of the three puzzles, you see a video

which is a video/audio clip of Drucker talking about when he first became involved with The Company.

After I came to the United States, I met Charles Deveaux in New York. We had much in common. He introduced me to his friends. They realized I was special, could hear things that weren’t there. Signals in space, in the air. They saw I was filled with the unthinking anger of an insecure child. They tried to use this against me, to convince me, but I saw them for what they were, and so I fled. Perhaps you’re right Hana. Perhaps it is time to right old wrongs. Together we can destroy their infrastructure once and for all.

  1. I beat easy, but got nothing but a black screen.

  2. I got a black screen in firefox, then I did it again with IE7 and got a message played from Ducker. Sorry, I couldn’t figure out how to capture the audio but here’s the text:

  3. thanks!

  4. Oops, I typed one part twice. It only says “I saw them for what they were” once. I had to listen a few times to get it all.

    Also I downloaded the flash video of the completed puzzle but I can’t figure out how to get it to you.

  5. So what that means is that there were almost 13 Founders, but Drucker saw through them and passed on their offer to start up the Company. Interesting. I guess that confirms Drucker’s good guy status too, huh?

  6. Yay! I got it too!

  7. I just finished in Hard Mode and got the same exact message as in easy mode. Doesn’t appear to be anything new in beating the other modes.

  8. i can’t solve the easy puzzle.. :(

  9. wth i just solved it.. but nothing happens on FireFox.

  10. and i just solved it on IE… crazy.

  11. Worked for me in Firefox on XP.

  12. that’s strange..

  13. “So what that means is that there were almost 13 Founders, but Drucker saw through them and passed on their offer to start up the Company. Interesting. I guess that confirms Drucker’s good guy status too, huh?”

    The thing about heroes, is the whole ‘good’/'bad’ lines tend to blur at times.
    the company in and of itself is not ‘bad’, per se, it’s intentions are mainly research and understanding.

    it’s when its founders have their own agendas that it tends to lean towards ‘bad.’

    and someone with ‘good’ intentions but ‘bad’ methods could still be considered a ‘villian,’ yes?

  14. I solved it in FireFox and I saw the video, with no problems. Maybe you should check if u have the latest version

  15. I got the message recorded. It’s available for download here.

  16. This was awsome! I have not played with a slider in years took me about 10 minutes! Excellent Puzzle and way to conceal a message!

  17. It’s now working for me on FireFox.

  18. yay! works in firefox now! I’m enjoying these puzzles Drucker is having us decipher. Nice job Heroes ARG dudes!

  19. And dudettes!

  20. Yes! Don’t forget the girls as well!

  21. Ok Ok now that we have that out of the way can we get back to business? Drucker? Remember? What exactly does this message mean? Compared the the first two contacts he made, This one is not as threatening as the first two.
    IMHO this could mean one of two things:
    1) When the company was found to be using us to find Drucker, were they really using us, or Drucker to draw us out? When the company saw the numbers they were against, they tried to scare us away from Drucker.
    2) Drucker is real, wasn’t sure what to make of the limited communications he was getting in the Tigers Nest. Moved to a better listening post, and decided with his help there just might be more than enough of us with a reason to bring the company down. JMO

  22. Or, it could be ALL of the above.

  23. [...] @ HeroesARG finished it and heard Drucker talking.I just heard it too. This post has been edited by DJ-Anakin: [...]
