The Countdown Mystery Has Been REVEALED!

- The mystery of the Countdown TH-cam channel has been solved! This channel is Counting down to something, as they post a video every day with a new number, decreasing to 0. The mystery is deeper this time around, as each new video has random characters in the description that, once translated, lead to hidden unlisted videos. This Countdown mystery is a whole lot deeper, but in this video at day 69, we've cracked the code. In this video, I reveal the secrets of the Countdown channel, and tell you what the random characters mean, and what it is leading to. Will this result in another Countdown Rick Roll? Why is it that this channel is counting down to something? What is the TH-cam Countdown channel? Explore this mystery with me, as I answer all these questions...

0 will fall directly on the 28th of July, where Never Gonna Give You Up’s music video was released.
Prepare yourself for another Rickroll
Close. 27th July 1987.
it probably varies from timezones
itll be on 7/27 maybe it will be the meme of "727 WHEN YOU SEE IT"
what do you mean? there is no rickroll.
there. is. no. rickroll.
do not prepare yourself

comments: "he said ascii wrong" ✔

It brought me physical pain
How do you say it ?
yea like actually talk about the video man youtube comments suck
@@csijml1264 i thought it was "as-kee
@@Coolguy1216s this is the correct way. The one csi posted could be pronounced “ay-skee,” which is wrong
They did way to much for just a rickroll. I'm both very impressed and a bit annoyed at the same time. But still more very impressed.
Defen what are you doing here???-
it was a rickroll last time they did it so like?
@@real_r3d_imp0st0r Yo I watch Timeworks too.
@@tetrisbit Uh yeah
People figured out this was a rickroll on day one because they noticed the countdown was gonna end on the anniversary of never gonna give you up.
i purposely didnt check when it would end so not spoil it for me
ASCII is a text encoding or just a way to turn letters into numbers, which then can be easily represented as 0s and 1s, which is how any information on your computer is stored.
Generally speaking, Unicode is a more popular encoding, because it supports every character from every language (and emoji), while ASCII is limited to English characters only, but it's much simpler, so that's why they used it here.
The first 128 code points of Unicode are identical to ASCII, so this could just as easily be Unicode. The lyrics to the song, Morse code, and TH-cam video IDs don't need anything outside of the ASCII range to be represented.
You might be thinking of a UTF encoding, but UTF-8, the most common, is also identical in the first 128 code points, so it could be that too.
@@lagomoof yeah, I was thinking of UTF-8, which totally is identical to ASCII for those characters, but gets more complex with more specialized characters
however, less commonly, but still pretty commonly used UTF-16 (no matter if it's BE or LE byte order) will be physically different from ASCII if you look in the hex editor (but converting to numbers, first 128 code points if represented as 16-bit numbers will be identical apart from the header, it's just that there will be a lot of zero padding in the file itself due to 16-bit allocation per character)

I’ll be honest, I was expecting that it wouldn’t be a rickroll again since last year they led to that, and I made the prediction when the last countdown was happening saying “imagine if this leads to a rickroll.” But hey, at least this time around they’re leading it to its 37th anniversary, which I didn’t know haha
37 is *EVERYWHERE*
@@DarkV_V everyone chooses 3 or 7 in games n shit so of course id be common

Hey timeworks, for some reason when i was a kid you were at like 100k or less subs, goodjob!! I cant believe i just found your account after years of forgetting!!
I'm guess we're gonna get rickroll back in 2024 to 2025
My ears burn
2:03 i cringed so hard when he didnt say ASCII as "as key"
Why would you say it like that
@@GabGames11 thats how you say it... how tf do u not know that
Isn't it like "Us Key" ?

Hi
You are very intelligent Timeworks
You actually solved the mystery
So impressive he mispronounced *ASCII*
Him pronouncing ASCII wrong hurts my soul
the hell was he supposed to pronounce it correctly?? it’s an abbreviation. pronouncing it “aSs-E” is weird
The abbreviation still has a correct pronunciation: ask-kee @@jayjustplay555
@@jayjustplay555 As a programmer I can tell you that Programmers are used to pronouncing it as "asky"
@@jayjustplay555 people usually pronounce it "ass-kee"
@@ManoEddoGames still weird
btw 87 is also a different sound
Plot twist: it's not a rickroll, it's josh hutcherson.
What is UTKC
We are currently less than 24 hours away from day zero. I think you are 95% correct. I agree with most of the stuff that you are saying, it’s just I don’t think we are going to get Rick Roll twice. I think it’s going to be zero, and nothing‘s going to happen. I feel like the second layer of this puzzle is already the Rick Roll itself. So the morse code, the hex decimal colour, The secondary videos, all of it is already the Rick Roll itself. I just hope it’s not going to be another Rick Roll. if it is, it just seems boring and repetitive.
Mind you this is all speculation and prediction, and nothing is concrete. So I could be completely wrong and it would be another Rick Roll.
the timeworks detective agency playlist is at 256 videos, nice.
power of 2
Bro is actually late
7:08 "was that the bite of 87?!?!??!?!??!??!?!?!?"
WARNING:
this is a complete spoiler to countdown so if you want to be surprised DO NOT FINISH THIS. But to summarize the numbers in the desc on each video is a ASCII that leads to a video of morse code. The backround also has meaning being a hex code and when you align the colors we will get something.
69, 69, 69? From the RGB stuff?
Honestly i saw a guy on day 100 who figured it out immediately
it's obvious it's just a rickroll. there have been hundreds of these countdown channels at this point
"very important day 69"
This is gonna end in the whistle josh hutcherson edit being blasted at 0
imagine that happens😭😭
it was a rickroll...
Imagine if day zero was
"You thought today was a rickroll? From all the morse codes and hex codes? Well no..
GET STICK BUGGED BI-"
it's been 4 years man get over it
The only hope we have is if they’re trolling and something actually happens that day
Timeworks to Morse code: "It's easy to crack"
Timeworks to ASCII: "It's too hard, get out of here"
was that the rickroll of 87
oh my god it’s crazy the amount of thought and effort that went into a rickroll
Damn... This is 2Deep!
Nice one
The fact that I randomly stumbled across this countdown channel for the first time in a year 2 days ago and you make a vid on it 😂
1 day left... we will *see.*
ASCII: exists
Timeworks: *ay es see iy iy*
THE END IS ON MY BIRTHDAY KSBDUS
Happy early birthday bro 😃
Yo buzzy i like your songs
RICK?
5:33 maybe you have to overlay colours. Like 87 78 14 41 or all of them at milestones. 1-50 1-99 1-88 1-77 you get the idea.
THEY WILL MAKE A RICKROLL AGAIN , I SAW THE 0 VIDEO AND ITS A RICKROLL
Fun fact: ascii can be used to make art. Back in the day you could use ascii codes in MS-DOS to make art. Ascii can correspond to colors. Certain MS-DOS games used ascii as the art.
Guys the morse code string is a vigenere cipher
Me and my friends was jus playing with ciphers and then we tried to brute force the morse code string and then we somehow got words out of it
Here are the words we got from it in order "rent" "day" "you" "and" "the" "routh (truth?)"
wait what
DAMN yeah i got something tpoo
mhm what key then? what type vigenère then?
@@trueffetbysyqual we used some automatic decryption button on some website
@@trueffetbysyqual Just google vigenere cipher and find the website with Dcode as name and there will be an automatic cipher
I figured out the July 27 thing but didn't know about the secret videos and when Never Gonna Give You Up was made.
watch it be josh hutcherson
So just to let you know, I sang 100 to 0 In Rick roll and shoot, every number connects to one lyric of Rick roll, so mean in every video he’s posting he’s posting a lyric to this song
What it is counting down to is my birthday 😦
That's so cool
I think Bush said it best: "Fool me once, shame on you, but once you fool me, I can't get fooled again."
Or something along those lines
its counting down to the release of never gonna give you up
yes
yes

cool
why
1:03 I KNEW IT I KNEW I KNEW I KNEW ITS A RICKROLL

if day 0 isnt a rick roll then i dont know if i will be happy or angry as hell
I'll be happy
ASCII is simply an identification system for characters: this entire text could be processed through ASCII before you can read it. The text is what the user sees, but in the background, it's actively processing ASCII into the text you see
Sometimes a computer uses ASCII with another identification system
2:03 IT'S "AS KEY"
I was wondering what those numbers meant and then this video got recommended, nice vid
ASS-Key?!?
the key to a baby donkey

The countdown hit 1!!
Fun Fact: If you double click a comment it likes it
Wth hes begging bro hes just making people learn i didnt know it
@Etlagab???
HOLY CRAP IT DOES
@@LeonBoy2012the issue is that people spam these comments
I clicked EVERYWHERE in the comment and didn't work 😭😭
i knew those were secret codes, i thought it was ascii at first, i tried every code possible, but i never received anything, and i dont think im the only one who tried solving this, great job timeworks.
Im really really hoping for a plot twist, he wouldn’t rick roll the internet twice right?
probably not since in 2 days its not april 1st
Hey, its July 26, time to get rickrolled!
actually since it's counting down to july 27th it's confirmed they are celebrating the anniversary of the song
when he went “AY S SEE EYE EYE” i felt it
Imagine of they set up a rickroll, and then it ends up being the john Hutcherson (or however you spell it) meme
Now that would be the biggest troll in internet history
Watching this after the end of 2.0
I am not even joking, countdown ends on my birthday, my birthday is July 27 (2009 to be exact) I shall be given the best present, a Rick roll
its another rickroll, because its fall at the same day of creation of rickroll song.
The way he said ASCII is causing me psychic damage
I don’t know what to say at this point you deserve to rick roll me
I was kinda expecting it to be one of those youtube test channels or something 😂
Today, 1 Droppped. 0 is coming...
I saw the July 27 date at 1:54 and I already know that's the day Never Gonna Give You Up came out...
If they don’t do a Rick roll it would be the biggest plot twist
Hi timeworks!
Erm what the soggy socks. God I absolutely hate soggy socks. Every time my socks get wet, it’s like an instant mood killer. The squishy feeling with each step is unbearable, and my feet quickly turn cold and uncomfortable. The worst part is the blisters that inevitably form if I have to wear wet socks for too long. Once, I went on a hike and stepped into a puddle. My socks were soaked, and within an hour, my feet were raw and blistered. It was miserable. Additionally, I worry about fungal infections like athlete’s foot, knowing that damp socks are a breeding ground for bacteria. The thought of having to deal with itchy, peeling skin on my feet is enough to make me cringe.
Wet socks also make my feet stink, which is embarrassing, especially in social situations. I remember one time after a rainy soccer game, I had to remove my shoes at a friend’s house. The odor was so bad I felt mortified. It’s little moments like that which make me go out of my way to avoid soggy socks.
Whether I’m trying to focus at work, enjoy a hike, or simply relax at home, soggy socks are a constant source of irritation and distraction. They can ruin what might otherwise be a perfectly good day. I always carry an extra pair of socks in my bag just in case, because I never want to experience that discomfort and embarrassment again. Soggy socks are, without a doubt, my worst enemy
The fact your said Taco Bell is criminal 0:53
As an actual programmer I don’t care how people say ASCII you are just
pissed
"A-S-C-I-I, which is another language" 💀
Never let bro cook again 🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️
That's just crazy lol. At least he won't get Rick Rolled again
countdown must’ve done a lot of research of Rick Rolls.
imagine if countdown did a completly different meme, like stick bug, or coconut maul or something lol, like they have gone so far to fully cement the idea that its gonna be a rick roll in EVERYONES heads, they have got to do some other meme
Your discord team must be in a detective team for sure
I wanted to follow this, but all the comments said the same lame joke: "oh, x number did such a great performance, blah blah blah".
This is actually a pretty clever rickroll
„There were also things released on this date“
It was a rickroll, btw😀
blud got his own lore just for a countdown to a rickroll 😭
This is probably the most unique Rick roll on the Internet
too bad he already did it once. honestly, I'm now really dissatisfied, disappointed, and even, downright displeased.
BRO the date is MY BIRTHDAY THE HELLLL
my inner programmer is crying
Some dude really planned out a whole ARG just to rickroll us 3 or 4 times in front of millions
Countdown is probably pissed you ruined the surprise
RIGHT NEXT TO WHAT ASCII IS IT SAYS HOW TO PRONOUNCE IT AND HE STILL SAYS "ay es see eye eye"
the countdown ends on my birthday lol
That’s rick roll’s birthday😂
worlds most elaborate rick roll
Dang, we outsmarted countdown
Oh timeworks!!!
The smartest rickroll in history
This is a beautiful project
This is the reason why Timeworks is still brainiac for us
THE NEW MATTPAT???
