The full name of the kind of bar code is: Royal TPG Post KIX 4-State Barcode a.k.a Kix Barcode. Apparently it is used in the US postal service as well as many of the other "parcel" services.

I've found a way to write the barcode from an address, but not to read the barcode into english. Does anyone have a barcode reader they can get their hands on? If we got a good shot of the barcode, we could run it through a portable barcode reader right from the screen.

I'm really confused. I the barcode thing wasn't meant for us. Taylor already solved it. Its lame, I know. Im not going to waste my time looking into it deeper because it was probably just a creative way for the creators to get from point A to point B.

How the hell did Taylor decode it and end up with that is what I want to know. Probably the same way she triangulated the cell phone towers.... *super duper brain power and magic!*

Just another Deus Ex Machina to add to the list.

yeah i concur, like i say, i think we COULD have solved it if they'd given us the chance, but instead they had taylor do it Sad

I think it is interesting as well and worthy of posting. I think marla and I are both showing just a little disappointment in not being able to decipher it ourselves.

Yeah, it would have been better had they showed us that graph...oh....TWO WEEKS AGO and let us pick up on the bar code.

But, as I said, I don't entirely trust Taylor for some reason.

I know....but I decided to decode it anyway.

Taylor said it was "Royal Dutch TPG Post something-something State Barcode", which is actually the Royal Dutch TPG Post KIX-4 State Barcode



I found the decoding table (on the Ctan website)



it gives:

72INT0KTNHT

Verification using http://www.terryburton.co.uk/barcodewriter/generator/



So we get 72INT0KTNHT. Unfortunately it doesn't look like something that could be postal code according to

http://www.neodynamic.com/barcodes/Royal_TPG_Post_KIX_4_State_Barcode.aspx

So I don't know how Taylor got Wyman Foundation in San Diego from that but I guess she's definitely smarter than me. So we all agree this was a fucking stupid clue. Rolling Eyes

Keep in mind, though, impulse that there's nothing in our reality they could have attached the code to. Within the fictional world, it all probably matches up fine.

It doesn't make sense to me...

I think people are just getting tired of the unending circles of nothing happening here.
