wormholewizards: Yeah, little bit unfair since i spend 2 hours (nearly) finding the origin of the symbol on my own. But there still more step to complete it.

Fever_Discordia: It's not like I knew the font beforehand though - I had to start from scratch just like everyone else - tried Nomad Soul, Radiohead and Unkle before I stumbled on it!
well good job finding it yourself but it still kinda mean for everyone else and for OP.

lugum: yeah but how do you search for it. you cant just google alphabets. if you dont know futurama (and i watched it several times, didnt even know about it)
You know, i probably stumbled it by accident. But believe me or not, Google has almost everything. You just need to try more unorthodox way.

nmillar: Knowing the font is not enough. ;)
True enough! I'll bow out of any further discussion of the issue.

Also, I said it in my PM, but I'll do it publicly as well: Thanks for the contest!

Don't worry i'm not mad and don't care if i didn't win anything. But i think it's lot more fun if people take their time, relax and try to solve it themselves. I did this while listened to some Megadeth with drizzle pouring outside my window.

not everything, certain games, songs, lyrics. cant always find it with google.
also heard yesterday about on how everyone's first google screen is different based on what country you live in, what they search for and other privacy invading things.

so what nuuikle was saying it might not end up in your top 10.

even with the translating i dont know wether to scramble or decode or whatever.
so wasnt a complete giveaway in all.

anyway thanks for the contest

So that is my problem.

I'm neither a Futurama fan OR a megadeth fan.
I was doomed from the start....

My friends also tell me I have unusually strong Google-fu. And of course it's probably easier to construct a good search when you know the right answer.

Cheers and good luck!

Didn't mean to be mean - I really was going off to do something else (and then, as so often happens, I didn't) and I thought I'd share what I'd found
The way you guys care about this stuff I feel like I got bloody lucky in that my research doesn't seem to have given the game away by a long chalk - I'll promise to be more careful in future(rama) and hope everyone can decide not to hate me forever!
I'm not an intential troll, sorry if it seemed that way!

By the way -- I don't want to drag the thread off-topic, but if you're concerned about Google and privacy you might try duckduckgo.com. It's not a complete replacement (for instance, it's lousy at finding academic papers for me) and won't stop Google tracking you through ad and stats services, but it's the only search engine I know of where the focus is on the user's privacy.

well. I got angry cause I was in the middle of searching for it while I saw the post :)

futurama has two alphabets btw. and OP one is the less popular one apparently.
