What does the code on the bottom of the pages of Artemis Fowl The Time Paradox say?

Answer 1

If you want to do it the way that Artemis did, there is a section in the first book that shows the passage he is trying to translate, and the translated passage, compare that to the bottom, and you will have your answer, think like Artemis people...

Go to ArtemisFowl.com and print the Gnommish alphabet.

Answer 2

This is what is says:

The demon scrolls tell of a warlock that will come to save our people, but i wouldn't rely too much on the scrolls.

They also say that rabbits are the supreme beings and that the best cur for a sore throat is a poultice of dung and old socks, hence trust the scrolls at your peril.

There are however a few basic tips for survival in a demon tribe that might be helpful if you were a human say, and had never met a demon before.

Which is unlikely to say the least. If you were a human, you wouldn't be able to read this in the first place.

So, demon survival tips.

First, never stab a demon with his own sword.

This is the ultimate insult and will result in a vendetta that could go on for generations.

It is fine to stab a demon with your sword.

He will congratulate you for managing that.

But only poor warriors lose their sword and then get stabbed with them.

If the opportunity arises give it a miss.

Second, demons have a pretty comprehensive system of sign language in which buttock slapping features heavily.

t is very important not to slap the buttocks.

Never slap someone else's buttock unless they stab you with your own sword.

That is considered very bad manners.

And learn the difference between the left buttock slap and a right buttock slap.

If a passerby aims his buttock at you and slaps the left one, it means a full moon is due that evening and he hopes that you will join him for the traditional hunt.

If he slaps the right buttock it simply means that you remind him of his right buttock.

You see where problems could arise.

Finally, never sneeze into your fist.

Always allow the sneeze to run free into the air.

Medical demons assure us that the sneeze comprises millions of tiny flying demons that zoom around the Earth until the can find a human to land on.

When they alight on their host humans they hack into their scalps with tiny axes causing terrible headaches which makes the humans easy to defeat in battle.

Therefore when a demon sneezes immediately slap your right buttock in the direction of the sneeze so that the tiny demons can pass on the message to the human they land on.

After that the whole thing repeats.

You're welcome. =)

It isn't fun decoding the whole thing.

Answer 3

From the collected correspondence of Opal Koboi, a series of letters between Opal Koboi, inmate number 1 100 0 101, Atlantis maximum security penitentiary, and wing commander Vinyaya, Haven council.

Koboi. My dear wing commander, while I realize that my first probation hearing is not due for four hundred years, I feel that it would be in the peoples' best interests to release me before then. After all the humans are becoming more sophisticated daily and a genius such as myself will be needed to ensure that fairy technology remains superior to humanology.

Vinyaya. Dream on Koboi. You're in prison. Accept it.

Koboi. I am sensing negative vibrations from you wing commander. Do not be so quick to judge. People can change, surely you accept that. I admit that once I found the idea of being the planet's supreme power an attractive one but who hasn't secretly nurtured the dream of wiping out humanity and utterly dominating ones own peers. I see now that this dream might be unacceptable to some narrow-minded fairies and I am prepared to swear on my pixie honour that should I be released I would not attempt to take over the world again.

Vinyaya. On your pixie honour. Wow. I'll send the transfer shuttle right over.

Koboi. I see now wing commander that you never had any intention of sending the transport shuttle right over. In fact you were being sarcastic. Mocking me from the safety of Police Plaza in Haven. I waited for three weeks before I realized that the shuttle was not coming for me. I packed my belongings so that I would be ready. Including my collection of model sea horses which I fashioned from chewed cardboard. My favourite sea horses Twinky and Goodboy were broken in the process. Twinky cries every night over her severed tail and Goodboy does not look so dashing without his head. Your callousness leaves me no alternative but to place you on my revenge list. When I am finally free of this horrible place and elevated to my rightful position as queen of the world, you will take my place in this cell and I will send my troll minions to issue daily beatings with bats fashioned from sea horse tails. A fitting punishment I am sure you agree.

Vinyaya. See you in four hundred years.
