MU probably is the letter “μ” or “M”, 13th letter of the greek alphabet but with a numerical value of 40. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mu\_%28letter%29](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mu_%28letter%29)
There’s a digital camera manufactured by “Olympus corporation”!

> Okay so I’ve been researching about this. There seems to be a lot of missions with the name urania. Mostly when it comes down to sea faring. Unsure if this is helpful or anything but it could work. with anything
Maybe because Urania was associated with astronomy and people in ancient times used the stars to navigate?

Riddle 2
So thalie and uranie are the french names of two mithological goddesses from ancient greece…maybe it helps

I doubt it will be useful (most likely someone noticed it so far), but any ideas why telnet strings from #2 ([for those who forgot](http://pastebin.com/ZP1QB5Er)) end with “=[lower-case letter]”? It’s like characters before that make up for some code.

Well we tried to aply any possible kind of cipher decoding but found nothing useful :/

Solution of riddle 2:
- First, shout-out to Siderite for all his work, especially for this intriguing first line #00
- And to ErikCorry for:
> OK kids, listen up
> [19:21] First byte decoded is 37
> [19:21] key char on first line is “c”
> [19:21] xor those together you get “T”
> [19:21] Now check the other version of the data
> [19:22] First byte is 26
> [19:22] key char on first line of old data is “r”
> [19:22] Xor them together you get “T”
- The only useful data is line #00, and the sequence of letters after all the =’s
- Line #00, after base64-decoding, has 100 bytes, and the sequence of letters has also 100 bytes. XOR them.
- ASCII result is “The password for the riddle is magical followed by the 5th letter of the alphabet and the number six”

Finally, thanks to a amazing breakthrough made by ErikCorry, Arcanmster finally unlocked the very last riddle !
You can now go on [http://mu.studiocime.com](http://mu.studiocime.com) to see what was underneath! Again, congratulation to all!
Stay tuned.

Wow, I was thinking today when I came from work I would try to only use the first row and the last column, but … I didn’t. Story of my life, stopping right before the finish line :) GG, Arcanmaster!

And for all people which want a quick solution of how its done, this time in java:
`
import com.sun.xml.internal.messaging.saaj.util.Base64;
public class riddle2 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
byte[] line0 = Base64
.base64Decode(
“Nx0LVRwCHBwPFgsWUA0LBEwDDwFPHQYNEwkPSBAFWhgSFx8XAx1KHAkVFgoODgZTGw1WHAEPR00ODUIVBBwcBANQHQRXAgIAVBALHQoWBBYHQwQLF0cZCw9LFBcOBwIKTQIIDQ=c”)
.getBytes(); // line 0 from telnet
byte[] ends = (“cunulcooxyyrpkdvlwgdoooiwejhyvzuspvtbqjzfyzeykbsytvhijgxzebyahhaqprbwvjetqgmbwfssceesgmcjkzbcegxmqau”)
.getBytes(); // all end line chars, they are the key
char[] decoded = new char[line0.length];
for (int i = 0; i < line0.length – 1; i++) {
decoded[i] = (char) (line0[i] ^ ends[i]);
}
System.out.println(String.valueOf(decoded));
}
}

I don’t know. We can never be sure… There was always some noise at each step.

I think that 9254 viewers are not worth this promo action…
I think that all security agencies will be worth it… ;)
I am not sure if they should not be forced to add: be warned: they are watching you… before every of theirs games ;).
