  • Anyone wanna help me turn this into a picture? [url=http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z225/Spartan1000/Hexgraph.png]This is the picture we get from the ASCII used to find the last paragraph we discovered.[/url] We used hex code to create the picture but obviously this doesn't produce anything worth while. We can at least eliminate this. Keep chugging. [Edited on 09.08.2012 9:38 AM PDT]

  • 81 75 02 74 81 26 in hex comes out to " u  t  &" in ascii or 81 75 02 74 81 26 as decimal comes out to " Q K  J Q " in ascii Also, do we know if the forum ninjas know what the answer is? One of them said something interesting earlier.

  • The answer is 7. See we are looking for the number 7 and can't find the number 7, therefore I shall type it and now I can see it. 7.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] CoRaMo When I went to bed last night, I thought TopWarGamer had won. Now I see Bungie has finally stepped up and delivered the intellectual beat down we have all be asking so dearly for.[/quote]This is much more awesome than some art challenge though in my opinion. I'm not even upset I have no chance at this, unlike art ones. I'm just really intrigued and am rooting for someone, anyone, to solve it. :P

  • Ignore last edit. So there's 21 Ps in that paragraph. Didn't someone say something about 21 zeros earlier? [Edited on 09.08.2012 8:31 AM PDT]

  • Well I think I'm gonna call it but I won't leave you hanging this challenge is said to be art and well it got me thinking I replaced the "1"'s in the hex code of the passage to "7" because in the passage said that 7 overcomes 1 after that I made an [url=http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb379/XxCRAZYPOTATOxX/Apicture.png]Image[/url] for you guys so you maybe could use it now remember this is another theory. Ps This might look like junk but hey they made this hidden [url=http://www.moillusions.com/wp-content/uploads/i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb234/vurdlak8/illusions/5820.jpg]pedobear[/url] even though it looks like messed up lines that hurts the eyes haha.

  • Alright, I and a few other Code Breakers are up. I just made some breakfast, which is a delicious looking fried egg sandwhich! After this, were gonna get back on track and work to solving this thing! After this, I think we can all say NEVER to mess with the power that is David Johnson, because when you mess with that bull, you get a tactical nuke wrapped in black holes.

  • This is what I got with the RIDICULOUS amount of help from others. I just changed it so it made sense. [quote] Most engineers who practice computer science pragmatically repeatedly go with the common practice and leverage ones and zeroes to pen their programs. Generating code like this generally is a pretty well-founded pattern to employ. On the flip side, Bungie is not your typical engineering group. We write programs without ones. Our people do not like the number 1. Why? Well, there are greater, grander numbers to apply for our wily craft. Mayhaps you disagre, perchance you agree. What matters is that seven is more awesome than one will ever imagine itself to be. And so, we code with ample sevens, not ones. Fact: programs. [/quote] Basically, Bungie uses 7's instead of 1's in their code. [Edited on 09.08.2012 7:31 AM PDT]

  • Only "7" I managed to find was flipping the entire text around and highlighting "L". That led me nowhere as well. Damn, is it possible to fail a mailsack challenge?
