Scioly Assassination 73: Gunfight at the S.O. Corral

sassy, it is nice for you to say if our protections are correct or not.

Littleboy, that's something recent sassies have been doing, but normally isn't done, so don't expect it.

Your barking up the wrong tree. Maybe you need a little refreshment. Something to wet your whistle? Lucky for you, I found a bottle of tequila around back.

hint: Woodrow Wilson's number

Combine the three hints and you may save a fellow cowboy from taking his last drink.

winneratlife, I thought you weren't going to play these games anymore?
also, woodrow wilson was the 28th president

fmdie01, backwards. I protect fm.

[Littleboy]

that probably right but where did the naoh come into play?

[IdahoSciGuy]

nice catch koko!

[Kokonilly]

Base 28, backwards.
And thanks, Idaho. I like anagrams/wordplay.

EDIT: But... just in case that's wrong... keep working, I guess.

[prelude to death]

Been plugging in the numbers into a lot of ciphers, but only random gibberish comes out. Also, looked up sodium hydroxide on Wikipedia (not a reliable source, I know) and I found out that 82 (which is 28 backwards) is the UN number. I think it's just a coincidence though, since I couldn't find the other, longer string of numbers anywhere in the article.

Also, when the sassy says:

Combine the three hints and you may save a fellow cowboy from taking his last drink.

So the three hints combined in order are: backwards NaOH Woodrow Wilson's number. Umm..... also, did anyone else notice how the sassy was using a lot of weird phrases that people don't normally use everyday? (By the way, I'm going to work on my homework and this clue a bit more and see if I can get anywhere else. I'll probably be on again sometime later this evening at like... 8 or something, so I'll protect then and see if we can make any more sense out of this clue. If I did the math right, the deadline for me, over in SoCal, is 6 in the morning on Tuesday. Anyone who's in another time zone - probably almost everyone - should calculate their deadline accordingly.)

EDIT: Never mind, I'm really stupid..... I just posted this right when Koko solved the clue. Therefore, I protect.... (I'll come up with something later.....)

I feel happy that I suggested using base code to figure this out, even though odds are you guys already knew that before I posted anything.
