Question

A new Junior IT specialist just newly joined the Brain Den Co. The IT Manager, Grey Cells has taught as much as he could to this new guy, before he was taking leave for a 4-days-cruise.

“I will be back in 4 days time. Should not have anything happened during the day and I would…..” the phone on Grey Cells’ desk was ringing. “Hold on, hello, yes, Kathleen, your password, wait a minute, yes, I knew your ID is “Kathleen is democratic”, right….your password is ‘24’, …..you welcome.”

“Ok, sorry, where do I stop just now, oh yes, just in case any problem on the PC of the directors like Mr. M or Mr. B or Mr. R, just tell them that I will personally attained them when I come back.

“As long as you know the ID, you are….. hold on.” The phone was ringing again so GC stops “Yes, Frozen, your network? Hold on, tell me your id, ok…hmm….. “Frozen In Fire is Drafting quietly”….. there you are! Your password is ‘96’. …., you are welcome.”

“Hmm, where do I stop again, oh yah, the password! You know, working in Brain Den Co. you need to let your brain be smart in all kinds of maths, riddle, puzzle, blah blah blah, and as for the ID… (telephone ringing), Now whose turn, hello! Y-san! What, something wrong to your PC and you can’t log in, let me check, nope nope, sure it is not infected by virus SEVEN. Do worry….. Isn’t your ID “Has Yourichi-san Spoken?” , yes, so your password is “36”. Ha..ha… you are welcome.”

GC put down the phone, and mumbling “That woman!”

“Ah! Yes, where do we stop? Ok, as long as you know the ID of theirs, you can figure out their password. Here is the list of the password, but not following the sequence of the ID, so you need to ……” (This time is GC cell phone rang!) “Ok, wait, I will be there right now. Catch you later.”

GC continued “I got to go, figure out which one is which based on the logic and the expertise you hold. Don’t forget you are qualified to figure out that, that’s why you are hired in Brain Den Co.” GC wore the coat and lift up the luggage, “The cab is waiting for me at the outside, I really have to go now. Good luck, my child!”

GC waved to the new boy and moved away.

4 days later…..

GC didn’t come back as per scheduled. The cruise that he took turn up to be a pirate ship with Mafioso! GC has no choice but force to be the bartender in the ship and recent news is the innocent win in the battle but they have headed to a deserted island for treasures. Anyway, that’ another story.

But the situation in Brain Den Co. didn’t run well. A mini server was down cause one group of employee in certain department can’t access to their ID. So they give their ID to the new junior IT specialist and ask him to reactivate their account as soon as possible.

So the boy has the ID list:

Name // ID

Lost in space // Lost in space in holiday

Frost // Frost always tell Itachi-san some funny stuffs

Joe’s Student // She is Joe’s Student younger sister

Akaslickster // Akaslister isn’t Aka Slickster

Andromeda // Research shows Andromeda’s ideas are smart

Itachi-san // Sure, Itachi-san’s forwarded quiz is difficult question.

And the passwords that he had are:

99.22

12

288

108

$252

10368

Question

Can you help him to figure out which Password belongs to which ID and what’s the theory behind this? <_<

Am i barking up the right tree?

the ascii character codes of the password.

for example kathleens is 24 which are character codes

50 & 52 in decimal

62 & 64 in hex

Nope. Keep trying. :)

Just brain-storming :D

The List:

Kathleen “Kathleen is democratic” ‘24’

Frozen “Frozen In Fire is Drafting quietly" ‘96’

Y-san “Has Yourichi-san Spoken?” 36

Lost in space // Lost in space in holiday

Frost // Frost always tell Itachi-san some funny stuffs

Joe’s Student // She is Joe’s Student younger sister

Akaslickster // Akaslister isn’t Aka Slickster

Andromeda // Research shows Andromeda’s ideas are smart

Itachi-san // Sure, Itachi-san’s forwarded quiz is difficult question.

1. Itachi-san // Sure, Itachi-san’s forwarded quiz is difficult question.

These is a comma here which is not in the others. Could this cause the decimal point in 99.22 ?

2. What's unique in one of these that caused the $ sign ???

Yeah! I just got promoted from IT manager to Bartender. :P But that's a different story.

Coming to the puzzle:

it have something to do with Number systems? Or Chemistry?

GC, to answer this

The story you (GC in the story) already tell us the hint: "Use your expertise to solve it"

99.22

12

288

108

$252

Am thinking about these two. How and why ??? :o

This question needs an answer before we can progress B))

Agree BL, if I answer in the below method

Because certain part of the ID trigger those characters appear

Answer for 1:

The comma is not really playing a role here, you can ignore it

Answer for 2:

Let me think of a hint so that can lead you to the right way.

not that it's going to help me any, but I'm just curious: is there significance to akaslickster's name being misspelled in his ID (akaslister)?

Uhh~~~~. Why do I keep spelling akaslickster's name wrong!!!

But, no, it is not significance.

Ah! I forgot our young junior IT boy's problem still remained unsolved. So I decide to pump in

Kathleen is happy = 48

lemonymelon is happy = 54

Jane is happy = 42

got it? :D

Does it follow that

Lemonymelon is democratic has a password of 30 ?

Random Thoughts and ideas.....

From the clues so far, I'm guessing that the final number involves some division.

If Kathleen is democratic is 24

andKathleen is happy is 48

and Lemonymelon is happy is 54

and Lemonymelon is democratic is 27.

It follows that democratic is 2x happy. and that these numbers divide to make the final outcome....

Also,

Since these names begin with member names I'm assuming the password $252 cannot be from a user name that begins with a member name.

The democratic 2x happy is wrong if you think that way. Because

Dawg is honest = 18

Kathleen is honest = 48

And there is not really that $ cannot be the user name. There is possible.
