The building with a hidden (YavaKip) code

Growing up in a family of four, Elvis was too slow to learn most of the basic things that his twin brother Evens could do. This includes taking his first baby step, mumbling mom and dad, and mastering Potty training. Elvis' first word was "YavaKip" and his parents were so confused by this. They only learnt later when he started to pronounce it better that he meant "Javascript". Sadly that is all the dumb twin knew while Evans was learning all the words even able to write both their names by the age of four.


The twins childhood

Evans remained the favourite son to his dad because he was growing smarter and Elvis was on the other end of the spectrum. At the age of 12, one of the twins throw a ball at the neighbour's car and broke the windscreen. When the neighbour came to report the boys to their parents, both twins were wearing the same t-shirt. The neighbour shared the clip from their Camera to their parents, but it was not easy to tell them apart from the coarse resolution. It remains a mystery who really did it. Evans proved that he was in his room reading. Luckily for him, he always keep his books open on his desk

Evans came from upstairs when their mom called them to the living room to join her and the neighbour. But Elvis used the backdoor which made it obvious that he was not in his room. Evens accused Elvis who could not defend himself when asked where was he at that time. Elvis did not want to expose himself that he was in the garage busy with the old PC. Elvis understands programming language but failed in grasping all subject at school. It was later discovered that he was dyslexic but could understand computer codes. His father has warned him many times to stop wasting his time on the PC and to focus on his grades.


A trip to the museum

Fast forward to when the twins were 21, Evens was in his final year for his civil engineering degree and he had visited home for the summer holidays. While Elvis was into monetized online gaming and he would use his earnings to buy high computing systems. Elvis' grades were not good enough to get him to college but he did not let that stop him from pursuing his passion.

One of the news headlines trending during the summer holiday was a re-opening of a treasure museum which had very pulchritudinous art. People from all over the world used to travel to this city just to come and witness the art. The building used to be a storage hub for royal families treasures which got stolen. But the two suspects died in police custody and never got to confess where they have hidden all the treasures.

Elvis' family planned their visit too and when they finally arrived at the museum, Elvis got triggered by the design that was at the center of the building. When he unknown stepped in the middle tile, he could get a clear view of the art. He realised that the designer used codes from an old programming language to capture the building's history. But nobody really ever noticed or understood the message.

What made it even harder to figure out is that the programing language was written by someone who was also dyslexic meaning, not all programmers can even figure it out written in a dyslexic nature. Elvis took as many pictures as he could and when he got home, he ran the code using a mirror reflection to account for the dyslexic reverse writing so he could use the code in a way his computer could understand.


The message on the code

The code generated a message that was inverted and Evans used the curved surface of the spoon's bowl to read the generated message. When Elvis finally managed to read the message -it was a record of the building's history that include a summary of the treasure theft story. There was a part that says the two thieves that stole the treasure had engraved the location on two pendants that were never surrendered to the police.

Judging from the message, one had to find both pieces to access the location and treasure. When he continues to run the code for the image - he realised the image of the pendant matches the one his dad kept in their basement for many years. The pendant has been passed on from his great-grandpa and nobody had any idea of its link to the museum theft.

Elvis had many thoughts running in his mind: - "Could his great-grandpa be one of the two thieves? If so the other pendant should be somewhere with a family of a second thief. He then realised he needed both pieces to figure out the location of the treasures. Elvis was shocked by his discovery and he kept it a secret for the time being, but he made it his mission to find the other half to access the treasures.

Even though they are twins, did not make them to learn and grow the same way. Their reasoning and likes were different too. Great lesson for parents to allow each child to grow with his God given tallent

True! It's really sad when parents expects their kids to have same potential or compare their talents.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!🌺☺️

Sounds to me Elvis has talent although it beats me how someone who is word blind can unravel what another person with the same issue wrote. I assume it wasn't his great grandfather since computers do not exist that long. 🤔

Thank you for joining pic1000.👍

You are right he has talent because Dyslexia is not even the same for everyone. So how was he able to relate?🤔

But again most Dyslexic people struggle with "words" and not "symbols" - I assume one can get away relying on memory cue for language that uses symbols.

Maybe the worst the artist could do in his coding was to write some of the symbols in reverse and upside down which the author tried to make Elvis solve with a mirror reflection and curved surface of a spoon respectively🙃☺️.



I used to think Great grandparents are quite ancient and fossils😅 until I saw a trend people sharing pictures with all four generations alive link. Some people still have their great grandparents alive at 21years of age.

And the first computer program dates back to 1843 and the improved programming language to 1952. Elvis' great grandparents were definitely alive in the last 145 and 71 years to witness events.

Thanks for sharing your awesome thoughts🌺💫
