At around 8:00 am this morning, I found myself standing on the platform at Sangenjaya station staring at the wall in the middle of the tracks. Someone has a really dirty finger after writing all those numbers in the gunge. What do those numbers mean? Some kind of DaVinci code maybe? If so, I’m pretty sure I’ve scooped the rest of the world with this find. You saw it here first! :-)

hi roy!
maybe it’s some kind of color code? i could guess they’ve done the numbers before trying to add some wall tiles on it… or it’s really some kind of code. write the numbers into a database and start computing… some day you’ll find out what they meant… long time after the wall has been abolished.

or have you read some of 村上 春樹’s books? he could definitely give you a good reason for doing this to a wall… ;-) [contact him]

have a nice day,

dávid

Its either the numbers for all of the lotteries around the world or the formula for the ultimate tastes great, fat-free chocolate chip cookie. I hope its the cookie formula

I think you’ll find they’ve been doing some sort of survey on concrete condition. Figures might indicate density or hardness. Note the big crack in pic #2.
or I could be completely wrong…………..

I’m pretty sure this code will appear in a Lost episode, as an ubercode of the dharma initiative…

Beware Roy, they’re everywhere, even in Tokyo…

If memory serves me right, the numbers are map coordinates that lead to God. Well done on finding them!

Looks like we might be in for another construction series ala Shimbashi. SHINBASHi!

The photos? It’s so obvious. If you take the cube root of the valence of each of the chemical compounds making up the lime in the concrete matrix, divided, if an even number; or multiplied if an odd number as correlated on the east/west axis coordinates as illustrated in the right photo; then compound the interest earned in a postal savings account by the inverse proportion of the north/west coordinates of the second photo while factoring in the colors of the actual Sangenjaya sign, one can clearly determine that crows bark like sheep bay at the full moon in the hinterlands of Bulgaria.

Nice find! I’ve seen similar on subway walls before, but between stations. When a crowded train was taking a stop between two stations (happens to me every other day at peek time), I found myself right in front of a wall full of equations. They didn’t look as cryptic as what you found though. :)
