(trying my best to avoid being off-topic here)

It's funny, the other day Activision posted four videos about Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3. At the end of each video a gruff russian voice says something. It took the machinima community literally a post to translate the Russian sentence, bet Activision thinks they're mind numbingly clever.

Then you look at this, and the most intelligent, loyal, creative and generally awesome community in the world is being kept on its' toes due to the sheer challenge of this ARG.

Brilliance to be honest.

The numbers add up to “24†– so we’ve only got 24 hours to wait! (This may not necessarily be true).

Way to get my hopes up!

And isn't two times longer than a phone number?

Guys! :)

I think I have found out what the map is!

Being a pilot, I looked at the map and it reminded me of the European FIRs (basically airspaces). I looked on the net and found something that closely resembles that map and also involves Greece:

" The Blue Med Declaration was signed in Rome, between Cyprus, Greece, Italy and Malta, with Albania, Egypt and Tunisia signing as participating states, while Jordan signed as an observer."

You can view the image and read about it here http://gozonews.com/6257/malta-signs-the-blue-med-declaration/

It fits in well :)

In my opinion Maddox should have taken the yes responses as "0" and no responses as "1". Just because the quiz starts with a question (Are 'binary' one and zero interpreted as yes and no?) and it shouldn't follow the 0,1 normal pattern. If this happens the numbers stay in

010300501021000010300

if you divide them in pairs of three it stays

010 300 501 021 000 010 300

here you've got a kind of pattern... i don't know what it means but if you convert these numbers from senary to decimal as it was sugested it stays like this.

6 108 181 13 0 6 108

I dont know if this is good but could be another path to follow.

[rhaggan 10]

Isnt that 12/6/6 ? Could be 6 June 2012 in that case.

cj

yeah my bad :P

In binary:

0 = NO

1 = YES

interesting

I meant that as it is a question may be they gave us the 0 as yes and 1 as no, despite of the yes/no binary rules.

[someboy 0]

The idea of that question is to simply let you know that Yes/No questions should be answered using the established rule of 1=true, 0=false. I really don't think it's the other way (in addition, the question says "one and zero ... yes and no", to me it's clear that one goes with yes and zero goes with no)

[max power 21]

The question has a certain parallelism.

one and zero => yes and no.

The wording of the question indicates to me that they consider one to be yes and zero to be no.

[jakerod 254]

In binary:

0 = NO

1 = YES

interesting

Glad to see that the frigate made it into the new game.

[maddogx 13]

Well, using a rather contrived method, I've come up with the date June 6th. Here's how:

Looking at the answers to the last question:

0: 5

1: 15

2: 4

3: 17

4: 7

5: 11

I thought, what if they mean to pick those numbers from the list of 21 results? (111 301 511 120 010 101 310)

So, the fifteenth, the fourth, the seventeenth, etc. That didn't return anything sensible, but if I started at zero, like the numbers on all the answers, I got this:

110110

That looks like binary. It could either be decimal 54, which isn't very interesting... or

110 110

6 6

Yeeees, it's extremely far fetched, I know. :D

wrong number

[cctoide 0]

You can also get a valid Czech phone number (515417711) by concatenating the numbers in the answers to the last question. Would be in the South Moravian Region according to Wikipedia. I really doubt this is relevant though. :p

[:DDDDDDD 10]

In my opinion it looks like a binary code but for what ?

I got a bad day today so yeah im a little trollin.:p

[scajolly 14]

The question that BIS are answering is when.

6/6 is a Monday in June. Reckon we'll find out then.

3 damn weeks!

And we will get "hacks" every 42 hours until then?

I cannae take it!!!:p

Btw, I am not Scottish!

[Mauser_NL 10]

It says on the wiki if you convert the whole string as one number from senary to decimal you end up with 736.455.973.969.194.

Shouldn't that be 4.418.735.842.374.954?
