Alwarren 2767 Posted May 16, 2011 1113 0151 1200 1010 1310^^ That's what I got. Unable to make sense of it so far. This is a tough one. I am still not quite sure how to divide these numbers. I mean, it could be one single large number, but also other things. It's 20 digits. That means it could be one 20-digit number, 2 ten-digits, 4 five-digit numbers, or 4 four-digit numbers. OR, even worse, it could be variable. Argh... must... find... solution... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mainstriker 0 Posted May 16, 2011 Is the 2 correct?Bohemia Interactive has developed a battlefield simulation system VBS. What does VBS stand for? 0: Virtual Battlefield Simulation 1: Virtual Battlefield System 2: Virtual Battlespace Virtual Battlespace System isn't it? You made the answer yourself, so i would say "2" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SwiftyBoy 0 Posted May 16, 2011 My first thought on seeing the word “senary†was “Diceware†(you know, “11356†for “airfield†etc) – but having looked at the number strings, there’s no “zero†in diceware list, so these can’t be encoded words. That said, they may be passwords/logins for something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maddogx 13 Posted May 16, 2011 Could that be time? The military time is written without ':' Seems plausible at first glance. All numbers would make sense as times, though I still see no meaning to them. ---------- Post added at 12:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 PM ---------- btw. @ whoever mentioned dates: 1113 0151 1200 1010 1310 = 1551 397 1512 1332 1980 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Varanon 892 Posted May 16, 2011 (edited) My first thought on seeing the word “senary†was “Diceware†(you know, “11356†for “airfield†etc) – but having looked at the number strings, there’s no “zero†in diceware list, so these can’t be encoded words. Maybe add 1 to each number, getting them from 0-5 into 1-6 ? Although that's probably a long shot Edit: Tried it, doesn't make sense (would be 'd force abuse arch') Edited May 16, 2011 by Varanon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maddogx 13 Posted May 16, 2011 I think I'll document my thought process here, in case someone spots something I didn't. :) There are twenty senary digits. That means they can be divided into either 2x10, 4x5, 5x4, 10x2, 20x1, or some weird mix. I've never used senary numbers in my life, or even seen them being used, so I am assuming they need to be converted to something else. ASCII comes to mind, but doesn't seem to produce usable results.

fransie 1 Posted May 16, 2011 When I convert the senary sequence to letters here, I get "EEPPJORAZXR". RAZXR reminds me of Razor EEPP might mean ep2, hinting at a new expansion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

klamacz 448 Posted May 16, 2011 Thanks MadDogX Decimal representation is: 736456014279978 which is 15 digits long, so it can be 5x3 or 3x5 Tried to convert that but no luck yet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I actually thought it might be a UNIX timestamp, but it doesn't seem to be, the number is way too high. If it is a timestamp, ti might use a different epoch. Windows timestamp would yield a valid date, but that date is Sat May 03 1603 11:06:41 GMT+0200. Not useful I suppose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maddogx 13 Posted May 16, 2011 AAN is hinting about the date. Of course, I overlooked that fact before. AAN asked them when we would recieve information, and they answered with the 20 questions. So the result of this should turn out to be either a date, timestamp, or perhaps the name of an event (E3). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
