Trivia time

This one proves to be difficult as well.. Can anyone help out?

▼Spoiler

Two codes... : I've got 'switch' (codes 26 and 34), but the other word (with which 1 code should start and another one end, right?) I can't find.

▼Spoiler

Unassailability: what can I do with 50?

▼Spoiler

Messiah/satan: no clue what's being asked for. Should i reverse the words and take the second letter ('a')? But that's not an initial is it?

▼Spoiler

Transmissions: I remember one puzzle referring to the transmission panne again (chronological ordering). Should I do something with that?

▼Spoiler

Ralph Paul: whaaat? No idea what's being asked here.

Re: Trivia time

First

▼Spoiler

Two codes began and ended with the same letter.

second

▼Spoiler

Half its value...Is there another (perhaps older) way to write what you found?

third

▼Spoiler

Messi ahsatan - you are on the right track.  Though the result, with different spacing, has been seen before...

The other 2 I am stuck on.... but I made the correct guess from the above answers

Re: Trivia time

You can find the answers by repeating your history i.e., the puzzles and answers in this book. 

As for 4 & 5

▼Spoiler

"Transmission" does not refer to the messages on the website.  One puzzle is specifically about transmissions.   

▼Spoiler

Don't focus on "Ralph Paul."  Focus on finding a puzzle where you might find someone at 300

▼Spoiler

Only two codes start and end with the same letter, this is answer 1, the letter

▼Spoiler

Find Unassailability in an earlier code, look at how that code was solved and get answer two by halving that value

▼Spoiler

If you 'return' Messiah/Satan you will recognise a name from an earlier code

▼Spoiler

This is very literal, in the broadcast puzzle you will see one that wasn't changed

▼Spoiler

An earlier puzzle has extension codes, you should spot Ralph Paul in there
