Safe code in the case Cloven pine8 hints left
There is a safe in apartment of the unknown body.

Where do I find leads

Search through her e-mails. You will find some sumerian numbers.

What are those?

There are clearly four numbers. Try to find the codex for the numbers in the internet.

What are the numbers?

Following this Wikipedia page we can look that the numbers are 3, 51, 37, 12.

The numbers don't work

Maybe the code is not just the numbers concatenated. Maybe the numbers represent digits in a bigger number.

How can they be digits?

We use 10-based numbering. Sumerians used 60-based numbering system.
That means the first "digit" qould be 3, then 51, 37 and the 12. This is quite a large number

Help, please

You would need to multiply the digits by the power of the base. Right-most digit would be to power of 0 (that is 1) and increasing when going left.

More help

So, the digits are multiplied with: 603, 602, 601, 600

Show me the correct answer

Calculate:
  • 3 x 216,000: 648,000
  • 51 x 3,600: 183,600
  • 37 x 60: 2,220
  • 12 x 1: 12
  • 648,000 + 183,600 + 2,220 + 12 = 833,832
The correct code to the safe is 833832.
