All the values except 0200 are between 64 and 128.   Hint 4: The ASCII character set that your computer uses to encode simple text maps each character to a 1 byte number - i.e., a number from 0-255.   Answer: The numbers are base-4 representations for the ASCII encoding of the phrase "the solution is stronghold".
