"one and one and one and one is four" I have a strong feeling that that has something to do with translating it. But nothing obvious seems to work. I'm going to try several methods to figure some pattern here. Let's assume that every number correlates to a specific letter, as in the earlier puzzle. I see that the number 144 appears three times in a row. I've pointed this out here: quote:
289 144 36 400 1 144 144 144 400 25 225 324 81 625 196 36 625 1 19 16 16 169 169 36 81 225 324 361 1 225 144 196 361 1 400 4 169 400 4 196 289 1 121 16 81 1 16 289 144 676 81 225 400 4 100 121 4 100 36 324 36 100 225 400 16 121 4 400 100 1 144 121 196 144 Now, Since I can't recall any words that have three of the same letter in the middle, I can be reasonably sure that a word ends between the second 144 and the third 144. That would mean that word has two of whatever letter 144 stands for at the end. I'm going to assume it is E, as that is the only letter that commonly appears twice at the end of a word. I may be wrong, but if I'm right, it could be very helpful. Now, 'e' is the fifth letter in the English alphabet. Now, if 144 stands 'e', and I will admit that is a big if, but if it does stand for 'e', then that would mean that there must be some correlation between the numbers 5 and 144.
