A Monday Puzzler: "Beloved Aunt"

[Zulu Romeo]

One of the recent Misc. weekend fixtures has been missing from our lives this weekend... so until we wait patiently for it to reappear, here's a puzzle for you. As always, do NOT post your answer in this thread: instead, PM it to me.

As it's my first one, I've made it extremely easy just to break you in gently.

Below is the puzzle. Read carefully, and good luck!

^That's the telephone number of my personal banker in the Caymens, my account number and my pin. How did you get this information Curse you Zee *transfers money immediately to Switzerland*

 

[backstept]

what's the objective? usually a string of numbers as a puzzle is an alphanumeric substitution cipher, but this one makes no sense

Quick question - is there meant to be a space anywhere in these numbers. vB lobs them in sometimes for the fun of it.

Is "Beloved Aunt" a clue to how to solve the puzzle, or a clue to the answer, or anything?

Quick question - is there meant to be a space anywhere in these numbers. vB lobs them in sometimes for the fun of it.

Now, the space there IS unintentional - these are uninterrupted strings of numbers, of which there are two sets as you can see - one longer than the other, one arguably more important than the other for the purposes of this puzzle.

And that's probably the only clarification or clue I can give at this time. When you realise how to solve it, you'll find out how easy it is.

Oh, and one more thing: also send to me by PM how you solved the puzzle - so that others can work it out for themselves.

It means that if anyone spots a mistake in the puzzle, I can put it down to a "typo."

But seriously, while it can mean anything you want it to, I did put it there for a reason - it may or may not be relevant to the puzzle.

I typed these numbers into my tv remote and I ended up with deal or no deal. My beloved Aunt watches deal or no deal too, so I think I'm onto something.

Now that's funny on so many levels.

 

[CorporalClegg]

I think my brain just blew up.

 

[backstept]

I'm inclined to think that Lord Zedd just did a monkey dance on the numpad to confound us

 

[Jadzia]

I feel that the puzzle has too many ways of attacking it. Any method I think of is both time consuming to test and the puzzle gives me no feedback. At least with a maze you know when you've hit a dead end. But here we don't, so we don't know when to stop one method and try another. It's entirely down to luck whether I will think of the correct method or not.

I'm in a generous mood, so some more info:

It is a code to break, one that quite a lot or people can solve without realising it too much. A certain tool will help a lot.

 

[Jim Gamma]

Easier than I expected.

 

[backstept]

this is ridiculous . . .

 

[CorporalClegg]

A certain tool will help a lot.

A super computer?

 

[Zulu Romeo]

Easier than I expected.

And you're the first to get it exactly correct.

 

[backstept]

I'm clearly missing something . . .
nothing I try makes any sense

[Zulu Romeo]

That's two correct guesses now. Anyone else?
