"Those danged pirates!" Captain Crackskull sighed. "You'd think they'd get their fill and just leave people alone, but noo-o-ooo, even with all their GPS navigation systems and personal gadgetry, they're still just pirates, stuck in their piraty ways. Arrrh. They get more loot than they know how to spend and they just bury it. The only thing that's changed is that they bury their treasure in electronic vaults instead of caves."
Prying a PDA from the skeletal hand of some poor old sailor who hadn't been given a decent burial, he charged it up and began poking around. It showed the word IBAN, followed by a series of letters and numbers. The captain punched it into a website. "Lazy." He shook his head. "It's a valid bank account number. We just need to figure out what he used for a password."
He found something scratched on the back of the PDA.
1-6: 0, 1, 3, 6, 10, _, _, _
7-12: 0, -1, -1, -1, 0, 2, 6, 13, _, _, _
13-17: 3, 4, 5, 5, 6, 14, _, _, _
"Hmmm. You think I'd be better at these, but I'm still busy trying to solve half a dozen other ones. I'm happy to split the booty with you if you can solve it."
