0 Guest Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Eh? 'FF' is the only clue? Reveal hidden contents If it's Final Fantasy, Hironobu Sakaguchi. If it's Fantastic 4, Stan Lee? I've no other ideas what else 'FF' could mean. =/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 fabpig Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Reveal hidden contents Frederic Forsyth springs to mind. But knowing bonanova (I met him in Costco once, and ), it's not going to be that straightforward. Is there an author .....Fullbyte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look more closely; it's only 2/3 of the clue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one were to subtract bonanova from the equation, could one still deduce a valid unique answer from the clues (i.e., not only by guessing)? If not, the clues given are insufficient.

If not, the clues given are insufficient. Since Wilson seems reticent to supply his method, [or was it a guess?] here it is. Reveal hidden contents Thinking hexadecimal, FF = 2B v ~2B Translated to binary, we have some "bits" of Bill's work: 1111 1111 = 0010 1011 v ~ (0010 1011) Why the question mark after "FF"? Because ... that is the question. And now we should be able to guess the Author. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Wilson Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Humble apologies bonanova, I did not realise that the question was for me. Guessed at answer from Bill and double letters. No binary...just a bit of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Molly Mae Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Reveal hidden contents Heh. referred to Burney 255 on the assumption of a hexadecimal clue. But I never made it to 2B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
