The Nhoj Case Files #12: The Case of PBN's E-Mail

"Paul B. Norman has sent us this e-mail, written in code", said Chief in the cellphone, interrupting my ski trip. He was referring to  our spy in Shadow Headquarters who has been spying on the Shadow's for a while, after we discovered who the Shadow Cop Spy was. "The problem is, as you know, you are our best cryptographer, and you're on vacation."

"All right, chief, forward the e-mail to me. But you have to promise that no more calls from you until my trip is finished," I said.

After a few minutes, I got it. It read:

1 1: 525151151525522514000525514000232525151010

2 1: 33333203102330
2 2: 21121202301210
2 3: 31131202201310
2 4: 21123202201210
2 5: 21123203202211

"Hmm, have you been expecting some sort of retaliation from the Shadows for some time?" I asked chief after reading the message.

"Yes, we found that they might release a virus in our databank. Why?" he asked.

"Because its gonna happen soon. Thank God I'm on vacation," I said, cutting the call. I just hope that chief will keep his promise.

Now, assuming this was done today, Jan. 6, 2008, in how many days will the attack take place?

After 3 days (hopefully), I will post a clue if no one gets this one.

But tell me, does scales create a possibility of the weights canceling out?

I'm from the Philippines, or Pluto, whichever is closer.

So, that means your from Australia. This site is worldwide!
