Can You Solve It? Sherlock Needed!!!

Just to get away from intense threads that are popping up at the moment I thought a game was in order....... It's just for fun and I'm no expert at this kind of thing but hey....

Anything in Italic writing does not contain a piece of the puzzle... for future reference.

THE BEGINNING
Commencing now. A very interesting puzzle. I'm not sure you will break it. Regardless let's see who can. One thing I will say is that every time a puzzle is solved I will come back and add another part of the story. As a note I will not be helping along the way, only adding additional information when the previous puzzle is solved.


You find a note on your doorstep one sunny morning -

"Nine times I've tried to contact you, four the love of god this has two work now... But if I have two I will try again"

9 x 422 = 3798

4+2+2=8 And I is roman numeral for one=9

I also get 9422.... but does the paragraph that is not in Italics also hold a clue?

I'm looking but can't see it yet.

"Nine times I've tried to contact you, four the love of god this has two work now... But if I have two I will try again"

9 + 4 + 2 + 2 = 17

9x4x2x2=144

A link to secret codes and how they are hidden in writing/paragraphs... www.wikihow.com...

I'm assuming the paragraph not in Italics holds a code but still not getting anything yet.

The is a one in the first paragraph. Not to mention the "time" and "adding".

Hmmm....too early for me. Will be following along until my coffee soaks in.

That is what I am seeing. Clues in [] ?

1x9x4+2+2

The answer is 42.

What do I win?

Idk... nice sig though OP

edit on 24-4-2013 by AguyAndAgirl because: (no reason given)

9 X 4 = 36

Sounds like the Jehovah witnesses were around trying to stir up interest since nobody was coming to answer the door

Hang on I think I've got it... well part of it.

The paragraph of writing in the OP... if you take the first letter of each sentance you get CAIRO well you actually get CAIROA. No idea what this means.

The person's phone number is 914-2121 ??

he will be there again at 20:00 hours ?

The code has been deciphered (good job guys) but not put together, to help this along I will put it together.... CAIROA9422, what could this be?.

When this is understood the next step can occur.

9x4 (because I've=IV, roman 4)=36
Next sentence segment 42
next segment 21

So, it is a combination lock code= 36,42,21

Going by the note that was left to you, someone obviously knows your interested in the occult, there is only one way to know what this is all about and that's to visit the Egyptian Museum where the Stele of Ankh-ef-en-Khonsu i (also known as the Stele of Revealing) is held

You take a flight to Egypt, after several days you eventually enter the museum, you reach the display case housing the Stele, after a few minutes studying it you realise there is something wrong but can't figure out what
