i think i might have it. I tried seeing if there was a mathematical thing behind it. I multiplied 5 by 8, 3 by 4. Then, answers from those i multiplied together to get 480. same with the next except for with diferent numbers. and you come out with zero. the next one was 480. the last one was zero. I tried www.ratedo.projectzero.com/480.php and it seems there might have been a page under that address.

That was a little confusing.

Thought so. . . . I 've tried some other things. Tried seeing if there was a phrase that you got from those letters in the alphabet. Didn't really work. I tried translating the numbers in to hylian numbers. and I tried taking those letters from the translation of step five.

Just remember that Okibi's old end date for the contest, April 5'th (4/5/07), was a clue to step 6.

If it were 16 digits, I'd suspect it were a Wii ID or something along those lines. Do any games use 18-digit numbers?

I thought that date was only for an "extra" clue for people who solve the 3rd step BY that date?

Sorry, maybe I jumped to conclusions too fast there. In the BS Zelda forums, he says: "I'll give you another hint. Rated O has something about 6. Can you find it?" As far as I can remember, the only change to the site was the "end date", and when he wrote in his first post here: "NOTE: The End Date is NOT an actual end date, but a hint date. Everyone who finished step 3 by that date gets an extra FINAL hint. Can you do it?" I assumed the date was the hint itslf. But that may have been the hint he was referring to in the BS Zelda forum, or not. Either way, I don't think anyone here has the hint to step 6 he spoke of.

With this step I'm assuming the numbers translate into letters.

Best way to start is by using the 5 numbered digit that starts and ends in zero. its the most unique number and would result in a much smaller list of words that start and end with the same letter.

Using this word list I compiled all the 5 letter words fitting that criteria.

If they're all words from the list and each number is a different letter, that still leaves 2520 possible answers (even missing the letter for 7) to look through ... I checked, yes

And if "78510" happens to be "Zelda", the rest would have to fit "le__ ad__a le__" ...


I'm not sure if the 6 in "Rated O has something about 6" meant step 6, but I haven't found anything about it on the site

Here is a page that loops through that list, and checks to make sure that besides the first and last letter, no other letter is the same. If that's true, it prints the code replacing each number in "01430" with the corresponding letter in that word.

Look around and see if you spot anything interesting. I have never played a single Zelda game or anything, I just wanted to help.

It doesn't work quite right. "Emcee" and "alula" got through, at the very least.

(All should bear in mind: Barring a rotating cipher, the 1st and 3rd words are the same. Anyone have an idea what phrase would fit with a 4-letter word repeated?)

Even though I showed my code to two other people, no one caught that.
It was just a brain fart though. Fixed now.

Wii codes are 16 digits, so no.

Well the thing with the extra hint being given to the people who solved step 3 by 4/5/07, wasn't real. It was the date 4/5/07.

Are you positive about this? He said that the people who solved step 3 by 4/5/07 would receive an extra hint. So why make it visible to all.
Or would they just not know that the clue is sitting in front of their eyes?

Ok, I'm completely stumped with this. I have no clue what those numbers are supposed to be. There are too many possibilities, since numbers can represent anything. My biggest idea was that it was tones to some kind of a song, but I can't get anything recognizable out of those numbers.

Yeah, a hint or a clue would certainly be helpful.

It says:



To win the grand prize, all you have to do is answer one single question...



Even though the answer was the password for the fake rom, I assume that's still true. My guess is those numbers translate to an alternative answer.
