East Asian Nyan Cat

This video was posted by Felicity to her blog on July 11, 2012, via her Youtube channel. It's an edited version of a Nyan Cat spoof, interspersed with static frames. These frames when re-composed, overlaid with each other, reveal a number cipher and a QR code. The QR code simply points to http://wikibruce.com The number cipher is as outlined below.

Minus QR code, this is the result of the overlaid frames:

FORTUNA FERENDO EST

• "QUIDQUID ERIT, SUPERANDA OMNIS FORTUNA FERENDO EST" is Latin for the phrase:

  "whatever will be, every (mis-)fortune can be overcome through endurance" (ref)

Solution

• The Latin phrase is also an excerpt from Virgil's "The Aeneid"

  The poem can be viewed at http://www.online-literature.com/virgil/aeneid

• Treating the number sequence as a book cipher in the form Book-Line-Word, the resulting phrase is:

  Must be careful[.]
  Beginning to draw attention[.]
  Keep digging and fighting[,] friends[.]
  I will continue as long as I can[.]
  Soon I will send orders for the most important task[,] yet[.]
  The rest is up to you[.]
