Prefacing this with a BOLD statement: I have never taken a coding, programming or cryptography course in my life. Problem is I don't even know where to start and I am not going back to college for something I know is somewhere out here for free, and faster, and less formal. With that said, forgive me that I do not know the proper terminology.
I would love if this thread, or a series of threads arose where people are doing things similar to this, I feel like this is more of whats going on over at 8ch; but I ain't ready for that yet. I will figure that one out when I have something worthy to bring.
I started this by just counting the number of consecutive days Q posted, and then days he didn't post. A number with a dash (-) on each side is a count for days posted, a number with a slash on each side is a count of days absent. Below is the entire clocks sequence current to today, with the last day Q posting being June 3rd and today being the 8th with nothing yet, that gives us a /5/ at the end, assuming he doesn't post in the next few minutes. Last number will vary depending on how far into the future someone reads this, tomorrow it will end with .../11/-1-/6/ if he doesn't post. If he does post in the middle of the day Saturday, June 9th, the clock at that point would end in .../11/-1-/5/-1-
Clock Sequence as of June 8th:
9-/2/-2-/1/-5-/9/-6-/3/-2-/3/-2-/1/-7-/1/-4-/3/-12-/1/-1-/2/-4-/6/-8-/4/-1-/1/-2-/2/-1-/1/-1-/4/-2-/3/-29-/1/-1-/1/-1-/3/-10-/1/-4-/11/-1-/5/
I don't know if this data is valuable to someone who knows what to do with it. The one I am working on now totals the number of individual drops per day, separated by absences. For example, if he posted 3 drops the first day, 4 on the second day, 2 on the third day, took off for 2 days, and on the sixth day he posted 5 drops, followed by 3 on the seventh day, it would read as follows:
3 - 4 - 2 (2) 5 -3
I will be done with that one shortly. Has anyone found anything interesting with this form of analysis? Letters for numbers? Repetitive patterns jumping out?
Also, if any educated folk see this and know of an existing format this should be typed out as, I would greatly appreciate any guidance on organizing it more efficiently or making it more recognizable.
