And here was me about say that maybe BIS could learn from the earlier hacks for next time and make the hacks harder so they're not solved within the first hour. Lo and behold here we are. I have nothing so far.

[Electricleash 133]

Could it be something to do with the number of questions asked? 21 questions, 21 being important in various aspects of human history, theology and maths?

Thus far nothing stands out to me, but I'm not big with my math brain unfortunately.

[mattxr 9]

Actually few more questions than when i first read them :/

[lNTRUDER 26]

I'm starting to wonder if this 'game' will go on until E3 :/

I know many of us are hoping for some sort of announcement at this evening's presentation in Prague. But if BIS was to release info today about what we have been trying to figure out for the last 2 weeks, then it seems as though we have lost the game. That is, if we still haven't solved the clues by 1900 hours CET today... Despite huge amounts of effort from this community as a whole and from a handful of users in particular (you know who you are).

Otherwise it would be nice of BIS to throw us an "extra" bone right about now, to give us a chance to win before tonight..

But if the 'finish line' was E3 all along then nevermind. In that case I guess we have to wait some more... (I hate waiting btw :rolleyes: )

That is a good observation. seeker.exe returned 21 finds. There are now 21 questions

coincidence? i wonder

[mankyle 420]

42 hours between each hack / 2 = 21

Wow, seriously? I don't think anyone thought of that...

[Undeceived 392]

Sorry if this was already asked:

So is it true that there no hack today, only the AAN article with BI's quiz?

Or is everyone so concentrated on the questions that the hack could not have been discovered yet?

I would say the latter. I only just realized that this wasn't actually a hack. :o

Though it is most likely intended to be.

42/2=21

it could be that BIS is slowly leaving the 'hack' thing and officially passes to an release ARG?

Maybe we should try to PM or email the answers to the "Devs" from Wednesdays attack?

http://armaenigma.com/index.php?title=Wednesday,_May_11th_2011,_06:00_CEST#BIF_-_4_new_users

I just tried but don't think it sent. Maybe my browser is being dodgey.

[maddogx 13]

Well, I don't think it's the way we're getting an answer, but I just PM'ed my answers to Dwarden, Ohara, Sith, Jezuro and Gaia. :)

Let's see if I get a response.

[rory_pamphilon 16]

Not sure if this has been mentioned before burly 42 is a rather magical number...

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/42_(number)

It is the meaning of life apparently and has a whole host of other interesting qualities.

Its worth a shot if we are stuck. The AAN article does say they are not sure if they are to email the answers back. Could be a hint. Could be a dead end. Only way to know is try it really.

You know that this is taken from a rather cynical set of science fiction books called the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy ?

[oldbear 390]

So according of last answers "conversion" - if I don't went wrong in writing them from paper- the figures are :

1113 0151 1120 0101 310

Wondering if the "5" ... or 500 is having a role in this ?

[rory_pamphilon 16]

Of course I know that but there is more to it, read the rest of the Wikipedia page

[blackland 26]

how abot to change the answers in to Senary numeral system?

this is a code with dice (diceware). Hexa (six in greek) is the base.

0,1,2,3,4,5 = 6 numbers

Example:

11131 = abash

You've got only 19 numbers and there are 21 questions.
