Descent of the Durtle into eGoooott - NOW AT B8!

Aye, but if we’re running on the assumption that the requested letters are correct, and we’re never gonna work them out from this page, maybe what we just need to do is find any word that fits the pattern. Preferably one that’s an adverb or similar, so it fits the pattern “??? eating turtle unko” (running on the assumption here that the instruction “start from death” means we read the keywords in 4-1-2-3 order).

You guys are still working on this?

Yep. Why, have you solved it already? Because surely you wouldn’t have… given up.

I was trying this yesterday, and then I also converted it back into romaji - がっこうへ gakkou he but I couldn’t get anything good out of it.

Observation log #4242

Throughout my exploration of the code, I have come upon a strange pattern. It can most likely be ignored, but it’s not worth the possible answers it may give. Each of the false book codes contain one doubled up number, 55, 33, 66, and 99. It should also be noted that the Dictionary of Basic Japanese Grammar has this occurrence as well. Previous studies have shown incidents of repeated items, such as “Durt Durt”, “Chop Chop”, and a-regular-durtles’ use of double hyphens. I’ve yet to discover their deeper meaning and fear they may never be understood…

For a while, I’ve been pondering doubling up one of the 5s.
19 1 6 55 5 10 9
19 1 6 5 55 10 9

(But I’m not actively working on this right now. Just have it open as a side tab).

Thanks for the info everybody! I used your keywords and got in myself, now. I’ll see if I can get ahead of everyone in solving the next riddle, but if you have any questions you can push them through the keyhole and I’ll look at them when you hit 5,500.

You used our four keywords?
When you borrowed them, did you forget to give one back?

Ugh, what super obvious interpretation are we missing here? And how has no one typed it in?

Maybe he ate it?

oh, wait. Is it 'Four Turtles eating unko"?
Could someone try it for me?

Doesn’t seem like it.
I tried:

Four Turtles eating unko
Four turtles eating unko
Turtle eating four unko

Turtles in singular.

Push? Keyhole??
