I have just recently come across all this and I am rather intrigued. I came across this while looking for cyphers to crack (Its a hobby). I have come up with several theories that I'm gonna put to test. They are as follows:
-The string of numbers could very well be a simple subtitution cypher, replacing the letters with numbers. To solve this, however, you need a "key." The string is 24 numbers long and such the key length is likely a factor of 24 (ie. 2,3,4,6, 8, 12, 0r 24) or a book key. If we assume that it is not a book key and by visual inspection of repetitions it is likely the key is 2,3,4 or 6.

Olorin: maybe we should start listing the attempts that have been made to decode this number, even if they failed? Just so that nobody ends up repeating the same attempts?

Nik_Doof: Exactly what i was thinking when i made the page :)

Nik_Doof: I've edited the page, it was more a joke with the days melarky in the style of the Pie puzzle, but now we need it a tad more serious...

Christian Synthare: This might be a longshot, but there is a programming language called 23 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/23_programming_language) which is made up entirely of groups of 2 and 3 numbers. Could this be it? (The "hello world" thing made me think of it. Hello world is a common program created in computer languages as a demonstration)

Nik_Doof: Probably better talking about this on the UnFiction forums...

Has anyone actually decoded the barcode stamp? That's a huge binary number, might make a key/cipher pair with the number beneath it. Angrymob 18:27, 4 Mar 2005 (GMT)
The semacode stamp decodes to www.perplexcity.com as explained here - Nik Doof

New to this and don't know if this helps.
