bonanova 83 Report post Posted October 26, 2016 So you're a writer, Bill. Care to share some of your work? Sure. Here are a few bits of it: FF? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1 Pickett 13 Report post Posted December 6, 2016 (edited) Spoiler I'll go with "To be, or not to be..." Write it as a logical expression (in hex): 2B | !2B 2B = 00101011... !2B = 11010100 So 00101011 | 11010100 = 11111111 = FF Not sure if that's what you were going for, but it makes sense...

1 Pickett 13 Report post Posted October 26, 2016 uhhh? Spoiler Not really sure what to be solving here...but maybe 11111111 (or 255)...since FF is hexadecimal, and the bit-wise representation (hence the "...a few bits of it...") is 11111111? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are on the right track. Spoiler To be solved is determining the celeb's identity and decoding what he said. Change "uhhh?" into "aha!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Pickett 13 Report post Posted November 10, 2016 Spoiler I mean, I'll go with the obvious answer that he's interviewing Bill Gates? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wrong Bill, though. Who Bill is comes from somehow decoding the message. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 plainglazed 67 Report post Posted November 25, 2016 think I get the question, just not how to make that answer fit... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wondered whether this belonged in the riddles section. It's both that and logic. Happy belated thanksgiving. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 plasmid 40 Report post Posted November 27, 2016 Spoiler If the question mark is part of what's being conveyed, maybe this is ASCII:F = 01000110 F = 01000110 ? = 00111111 Or converted to hex, that would be 46463F. Not quite 451 F. (And that would be Ray, not Bill.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 plainglazed 67 Report post Posted November 28, 2016 don't want to potentially spoil this if I got the right answer but the wrong reasoning so: Spoiler have thought of a fit to my hunch involving abbreviation. is that possibly on the right track or off base?

0 CaptainEd 22 Report post Posted November 29, 2016 (edited) Can't do spoilers on my phone. Spoiler But my answer is sure to be wrong: First Folio by Shakespeare Edited November 30, 2016 by bonanova added spoiler Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reveal hidden contents But my answer is sure to be wrong: First Folio by Shakespeare Well the author has now been outed. Suspect others had it as well. But the message still has to be cracked. Think logically. Good job. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
