Guest Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 I have planted a bomb, deep within the center of the earth. if detonated the bomb will destroy the earth. "It'll be all like BOOM and s*** yo" The mainframe accessing the bomb's deactivation unit is password protected. The password is hidden within a code. Here is the code. -1,4,1,0,1,-2,1,1,-1,3,3,1,-2,-3,1,-1,1,-1,2,0,2,3,0,1,-1,2,-1,1,1,-1,1,-1,2,1,-2,1,4,1,-1,1,-1,2,-1,1 You have exactly one week to decipher the code and access the password before the bomb detonates, destroying the world. There are no hints. ha ha ha ha ha haha ha ha ha got you again! Time is ticking!!!!Tick, Tock,Tick, Tock,Tick, Tock,Tick, Tock,Tick, Tock,Tick, Tock,Tick, Tock,Tick, Tock, Goodluck.

0 phaze Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 (edited) Notes: There are 44 digits and there are more positive digits than negative ones the number range from -3 to 4 Current thoughts: As there are only 8 digits and the string length is divisible by two and 11 maybe we need to treat numbers as pairs Edit: treating it as pairs means you have 16 unique pairs Edited October 21, 2010 by phaze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 phaze Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 I am guessing that it needs to be a word (as in password), This was part of the reasoning behind pairing them up as the values -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 will probably not be enough to replace with a letter (a word or sentence using only 8 different letters and being 44 characters long, not likely) Another concept I was working on was starting somewhere in the alphabet and move forwards or backwards the number of letters indicated. The problem with this is that if you add up all the digits it is greater than 26. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Well...it is not certain what the code be....you shoult have given a hint.The codes could be this: 4,1,0,1,1,1,3,3,1,1,1,2,0,2,3,0,1,2,1,1,1,2,1,1,4,1,1,2,1 or this -1 + 4 + 1 + 0 + 1 -2 + 1 +1 - 1 + 3+ 3 + 1 - 2 - 3 + 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 2 + 0 + 2 + 3 + 0 + 1 - 1 + 2 - 1 + 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 2 + 1 - 2 + 1 + 4 +1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 2 - 1 + 1 = 23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Ok it's obvious to me that none of you are even coming close. So I've decided to be a little generous..... a little. Here is a very very very very big hint. Have you tried grouping the numbers like this: -1,4,1, 0 1,-2,1 1,-1 3 3 1,-2 -3 1,-1,1 -1,2 0 2 3 0 1,-1,2,-1,1 1,-1 1,-1,2 1,-2,1 4 1,-1 1,-1,2,-1,1 ????

0 Guest Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Could one of you explain the answer? I've been working on this one but I'm still lost. From reading the posts I assume the answer requires knowing morse code, which I don't. How did you translate the string of numbers into morse code?

From reading the posts I assume the answer requires knowing morse code, which I don't. How did you translate the string of numbers into morse code? the numbers were grouped. each positive number represented a dot so 4 means dot dot dot dot. and each negative one represented a dash so -2 meant dash dash 0 was the end of a word.

Question
Guest
I have planted a bomb, deep within the center of the earth. if detonated the bomb will destroy the earth. "It'll be all like BOOM and s*** yo"
The mainframe accessing the bomb's deactivation unit is password protected.
The password is hidden within a code.
Here is the code.
-1,4,1,0,1,-2,1,1,-1,3,3,1,-2,-3,1,-1,1,-1,2,0,2,3,0,1,-1,2,-1,1,1,-1,1,-1,2,1,-2,1,4,1,-1,1,-1,2,-1,1
You have exactly one week to decipher the code and access the password before the bomb detonates, destroying the world.
Goodluck.
