[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Locker537 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Your MOM is MC My question is, where were we given the pointer to take the 0's and 7's out of the hex and translate them to binary from the 91-bit code? I know Blue got the idea and pulled them out using C++ but other than that, I can't seem to find a cue elsewhere to show that we needed to do that.[/quote] The paragraph about Bungie programming in sevens from the original hexadecimal blob was the clue; albiet tricky. [/quote] Not that, blue already answered my question. I already knew to transform the 1's to 7's or vice versa, but I wasn't sure how he came up with the idea to put them in binary form. He said it was a guess, which is honestly the only way anyone could've gotten it. Hence it's high difficulty.
