    So you mean by all the 0's, they are actually O's?

    btw alpha numeric can only work when the numbers work with you, or when making letters into numbers.

    That.... is the best... god damn thing ever! That, my friends, is what's known as serendipity.

    Well, going on other thoughts, A centrifuge is designed to spin things, and the file name can be written forwards and backwards. so what happens when the code string is reversed? or inverted does it look like something?

    Seriously. If the devs have got time to hide an Easter Egg as well as you guys are thinking, then they have far too much time on their hands.

    I would lay my mortgage on it being much simpler than anything most people have suggested.

    Now I had found an ip address in the first one (33.24.56) and that lead to the Colorado state school or something
    Backwards (65.42.33) it's in Kansas, the middle of butt fuck nowhere.

    I know this is not related at all. But it's still fun.

    Perhaps the Banana-cipher has something do with it? http://code.google.com/p/banana-encryption-algorithm/
    Some Java-programmer could probably check out the source, compile it and try to decrypt it. Did anyone check the .jpg name of the file also? If that's the key or something?

    Yup, I give up. I have spent the last 3 hours trying to figure this out. I was trying to use IFoundAGlitch as a key for a A-Za-z0-9 alphanumeric "pattern" in the jumble of misery that is this puzzle, or whatever. I'm starting to think that the comic talking about alphanumeric subset integers is just a stab at the fan base trying to figure it out. If anyone thinks they can make anything out of this, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alphanumeric http://cnx.org/content/m15193/latest/ these are the sites I was using as references.

    So Molly said we don't need to know how to code. But I think Molly is a fuckin' liar.

    Yeah we checked the file name, it's 102939201.

    Alphanumeric only works well if its letters to numbers

    Ya, I was starting to understand that it was hopeless.

    The title of the Avian lore document is "avianlore_pdf_this_is_actually_the_real_deal_im_so_sorry" - probably unrelated.
     
  13. blargyblargy

    blargyblargy Starship Captain

    Well, no. Not hopeless. If the code is in Alphanumeric, there is a way to code break it, and it's simple, we just need to find out how to tell two number letters appart from single letters. What I mean is tell the difference between 1 and 2 and 12. Which, isn't to hard, because if the letter doesn't make sense, there can be only one other option.(That's a lie, if maybe a letter works early on, but it might mean you need to reset from the start if you fucked up somewhere. But it is only one line of code.

    I was doing a sort of trial an error with that, but I don't know. The symbols are really throwing me off. If that comic really is a tip then I wonder how the subset integers would work with the alphanumeric code.
     
  15. blargyblargy

    blargyblargy Starship Captain

    Maybe we look at it like corrupted data. We put blanks there, and compose the rest. Letters might be the actual letters, but there are problems with that. Like the H3Y at the top, which would be HCY or HBY

    A little peculiarity which likely means nothing, the bottom row has "!O2.93" which corresponds to the title 102939201.png.

    I feel completely and utterly perplexed. Trying to not delve into such complex methods of decoding and look for a simple clue. Though nothing seems really that obvious, besides what's been mentioned so far. And we all know how that's working out.

    Aviakio Weight of the Sky

    Maybe we need to think of "WNOTU" in a different sense.

    Double-U not U.
    We want the doubled version of something, not the single version.

    I don't know, the answer should be glaringly obvious, but I can only come up with convoluted complex things.

    For me it looks like representation of binary data while converted to ascii chardata, as it looks like in hexeditor.
    Dots are data that cannot be converted into ascii character.

    I've conveted it into hex and replaced dots with XX, while this data is unknown
    Result:
    Code:
    23 40 33 35 XX 36 24 29 73 64 66 28 2A 48 33 59 28 23 XX XX XX 23 24 XX 34 33

    Also as for newsletter for itself, it's first part is about avian armor modification which is:
    Wings, Glider - that allows gliding, any clues?

    p.s. For thouse who missed, there is no "0" zeros in code, it's O's

    About file name. It's palindrome, so I cut off last part...
    10293 Pribina (1986 TU6) is a main-belt asteroid discovered on October 5, 1986 by M. Antal at Piwnice.

    Maybe asteroids have something to do with Starbound? Ah, ok, I'm helpless.

    And what if ... are dots or spaces? It ends with ... , so we can try to figure the words out.
