313 may refer to:

# Frame of the Zapruder film where President Kennedy's head explodes

Or

# Title of a song by Snot

Now read this topic while listening to that music....sounds like a conspiracy song.... :butbut:

Also Donald Duck car.

Only thing i can think of is in reference to the "three_times_lucky.txt" filename but then it should be "three times bad luck" i guess. Maybe it was solved with brute force so nobody really knows yet.

I brute forced it, but this seems right.

3 times lucky 13

Yeah, 313 is an area code for Detroit.

US Major city expansions! Detroit, Seattle, Chicago, and NY maybe. :)

when logic fails, we use brute-force)

[Lonestar 11]

Nobody would have come up with the password using logic.

Let's be honest, no? :smile:

If you look in the reflection of the sky in the model's right sunglass lens, you can see what looks like faint writing, 1 pixel wide. It looks similar to the dark mark on the clip board. There seems to be two characters but they look like nonsense characters to me, even when I view them with respect to the already known password.

[Przemek_kondor 13]

'313' doesn't need to be the original password - it could just have the same hash code

[abel 0]

Lonestar

let me disagree with you) IMHO, such games become similar to boring pixel hunting quests

[Mr. Charles 22]

An analogy to BIS' bugs?

[birtuma 28]

Well, this is really unlikely ;)

[Mr. Charles 22]

I'd say let's wait two days and we'll see.

We'll be heavily trolled on the 1st

[maddogx 13]

Yeah, any press release on April 1st is going to be questioned five ways to friday, especially if it's something major. ;)

I hope the 313 password was also a hint at March 31st.

What was last years April 1st joke?

[tequila.mockingbird 10]

sorry for joke, I had to do. :)

hah! very good Yano :D

-- but did you also add the '1' to the clip board??

[dontknowhow 33]

Download the file and rename it on your harddrive.

And the reflection are obviously photoshopped since I think we should be able to see the end of the building in the left lense (left for us) or the rest of the thingy (I guess a chopper) in the right one.

I was thinking the same thing. And the colors don't seem to match either.

Still, why photoshop it?

haha nice, missed that one

[icebreakr 3157]

At least v1.59 is not out yet ;)

[stupidwhitekid75 11]

Both helicopters are a part of the South Korean military, just sayin that's interesting with the asian faces we got with PMC.....

[CameronMcDonald 146]

With a jacket and shades like that, I'm almost certain that it will be a Pet Shop Boys simulator.

Sterile. Immaculate. Rational. Perfect.

There was none.

But this year they are coming back strong! :biggrin:

Interesting indeed.

[Trux 10]

OK so you guys got the Helicopters which could mean we will see them in game soon. But I still wonder why Seattle?

[maddogx 13]

Okay, so to sum up what we've got so far:

1: A dev blog entry named "Taking on a Sharper Focus", posted on March 24th.

2: Inside the blog text, a link hidden in the word "sense", pointing to a Google Street View location in Seattle, WA, close to the Space Needle.

3: A picture of the rear end of an MD 520N helicopter, posted on March 25th.

4: Encoded inside the above picture, three URLs to images that make up a composite picture of the Seattle skyline.

5: A new picture, this time of a guy wearing shades, sitting in what appears to be some type of aircraft.

6: Embedded within the above picture is a protected RAR file, containing a single text file named third_time_lucky.txt, which can be extracted using the password 313. The text file contains a link to a YouTube video of german pilot Charlie Zimmermann flying some pretty daring stunts in a BO-105 helicopter.

Did I miss anything?

[markocro 66]

those shades look like 3d glasses, dunno...

could be anything
