ArmA 2 site hacked

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

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.

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?

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

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.

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 ?

[rory_pamphilon 16]

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

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

http://world.std.com/~reinhold/diceware.html

Example:

11131 = abash

[Hedo 10]

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 ?

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

[Mainstriker 0]

Figures are:

111 301 511 120 010 101 310 ! As posted several times before. Don't confuse everyone by not c&p the right things :(

Take a look in the wiki if you need to check things

is this site a help?

[Hedo 10]

So I will paste the questions and answers in a Xcel sheet ...

The numbers on the wiki are right (if MadDogX's answers are correct).

[glowbal 13]

21 questions, 21 days till e3, if I'm not mistaken?

Some of the possibly related facts regarding no. 42..

42 hours exactly between attacks remember...

From Wikipedia

It is a Catalan number. Consequently; 42 is the number of noncrossing partitions of a set of five elements, the number of triangulations of a heptagon, the number of rooted ordered binary trees with six leaves, the number of ways in which five pairs of nested parentheses can be arranged, etc.

Given 27 same-size cubes whose nominal values progress from 1 to 27, a 3×3×3 magic cube can be constructed such that every row, column, and corridor, and every diagonal passing through the center, comprises 3 cubes whose sum of values is 42.

In the military IRIG 106 Chapter 10 data recording standard, the hex value 0x464F52545974776F (ASCII "FORTYtwo") is used as a magic number to identify directory blocks.

The GNU C Library, a set of standard routines available for use in computer programming, contains a function—memfrob()—which performs an XOR combination of a given variable and the binary pattern 00101010 (42) as an XOR cipher.

42 is an episode of Doctor Who, set in real time lasting approximately 42 minutes.

+42 is the historic Country calling code for the former country of Czechoslovakia

Using the encoding A=1, B=2, C=3, etc, the sum of the codes of the letters in the words "BIG BANG" is 42.

Like I said, this might be inconsequential nonsense but I thought I'd post incase anybody picks up some sorta clue from it

21 questions, 21 days till e3, if I'm not mistaken?

21 hour campaign, 21 hours till BI release info about Ivan Buchta's talk at CIANT Lab, 21 hours = 42/2 therefore BIS will release 2 expansion packs, 21 days in three weeks therefore there will be three new factions, three new weapons and three new vehicles...

come on guys, a little more focused on the task in hand please?

It's really easy to spew out this random bs but it's not helping anyone else.

I know there's not much that you can work out from the numbers we have as of yet but no need for all these random assumptions :j:

---[Edit]---

Also Hoot1988 quit your spamming please

"We have no idea whether to send back the right answers or wait for some explanation."

Email the answers to someone at BI?

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

Maybe we need to email the answers to the developers. As the AAN news site hints?

I think we get the fucking point...

This has been discussed early in this thread.

The questions all relate to OFP/Arma universe places - are all the weapons/places and dates valid in the game, ie is there an extra as a clue ? I am thinking there was an OFP mod for the Falklands, so I wonder if the other weapon questions are also current or past mods, and where the Nogova 1982 crisi is accurate (can't remember offhand) or would have been 1985 ?

Has anybody worked out what XOR gate on the side of the APC was all about?

XOR logic is mentioned on the Wikipedia page for the number 42.
