StewartKnight Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 what the freak??? Anyone know the answer? ](*,)
ConTheITGuy Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 I'm getting there... I think. Not sure if it is a joke or something? TCP/PI Is almost TCP/IP! Andy
webman Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 Using the ASCII table... T = 84 C = 67 P = 80 84 * 67 * 80 = 450240 450240 / 3.14 = 143388.53503184713375796178343949
StewartKnight Posted September 19, 2007 Author Posted September 19, 2007 Mark is correct (apparently)!!! Next one...... 62, and 65 and faster and faster http://cracktheclues.mrmpweb.co.uk/images/data_matrix.gif

MkII Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 Don't get the data matrix question ?? http://www.intel.com/cd/business/enterprise/emea/eng/business-pc/310547.htm [that's the data matrix image de-coded] Security count??
splarch Posted September 26, 2007 Posted September 26, 2007 Matrix decodes as Mark says - http://www.intel.com/cd/business/enterprise/emea/eng/business-pc/310547.htm Apparently this page is not available, but sensible use of google's caching facility gives - http://64.233.183.104/search?q=cache:p_BAg6sg8wAJ:www.intel.com/cd/business/enterprise/emea/eng/business-pc/310547.htm+http://www.intel.com/cd/business/enterprise/emea/eng/business-pc/310547.htm&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=uk Now the clue states "Security counts but how many times?" which I figured must be a reference to the number of instances of the word "security on the page (URL). But either I am not counting right or I am just wrong... Oh, and why does the safe say "ECC200" and "ASCII" - does this mean a text answer is required? Thoughts anyone? Steve
MkII Posted September 26, 2007 Posted September 26, 2007 I thought the same thing Steve. ECC200 refers to the data matrix type.
Mytheroo Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 I count thirteen instances (using CTRL+F) of ''security'' in text, plus 1 in text in a side-box, and 2 instances in picture form. So somewhere between 13 and 16. Have tried all these in number and letter form with no luck. The answerbox has space for 17 digits....ie 2 8-bit words and a space, but converting 1 - 3 to binary gives 00110001 00110011 which doesnt work.... neither for 14,15,16 conversions etc. I looked into converting to ECC200 in a 16x16 matrix but can't see how this data is useful, the matrix for 13 is wildly different (covering the whole 256 squares) than the one for 14, so I can't see it working. Kinda stumped now
splarch Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 I'll leave the counting to you, but I suggest you loose the space... The ASCII on the safe is slightly misleading, stick with binary! BTW I've completed all four puzzles now, so just ask if you want any more hints... Sadly I quite enjoyed it... he he Cheers, Steve
MkII Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 We had the added pleasure of working out what the hell Stewart was on about!

splarch Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 Answer 1 - TCP/IP Answer 2 - 62658591 Answer 3 - 0011000100110111 Answer 4 - 25257 Final Answer - 1257632 I am an Alien and due to my superior intellect I decided to help you humansOn the contrary, I would say inferior intellect... Helping people find the answers is one thing, but just giving them out..!?!? I wonder how long it took you to collate the answers with all that searching on the net - you can't possibly have worked them out for yourself, otherwise you would have put the solutions... You arse!
xercsees Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 I find what you said offensive and have reported you. The initial post is looking for answers. The person requesting them in the original post as they could not solve the puzzle and they themselves are looking for the answer. So in essence you are saying that anyone who replied on this thread with an answer is an arse. Calling posters an arse is very offensive!
splarch Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 Well I apologise if I have offended you. But you surely agree that simply posting answers is not "educational", and that providing solutions and/or simple guidance would be more in line with the ethos of this board? I don't imagine its called "The Educational IT Professionals'Life Line" for nothing...
Mytheroo Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 doing the transpose cypher on the next clue gives me page not found. have transposed all the numbers 9 times too but is just page not found :-(
Mytheroo Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 ok, ignore that post..i missed off the eng bit :$
Mytheroo Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 well i've got the interesting bit of the clue, but don't know what to do with it. I guess it might need cyphering and xercsees, life is mostly about the journey, not always the destination :-)
