Linde 0 #27 January 28, 2004 QuoteWhat I meant was that it hardly seems worth it as an educational exercise for the kids. This one, I guess is for the younger kids that aren't quite ready for the more complicated stuff. Gee now i feel a lot better...if only i was a younger kid not ready for complicated stuff yet, all would be a ok:-) Nah, dunno about this one, the first i found difficult, but solvable...but with this ive tried everything! I can tell you for sure its NOT a "magic eye" picture, nor a connect-the-dots. And, i was told binary knowledge would only make it harder:-). Guess only thing left is to yell at it Anyway good luck, ill have to give it a go again tomorrow. Linde Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Malfunction 0 #28 January 28, 2004 i feel really dumb. not only can i not get the first rover code, i can't get the supposedly simpler one... guess i will go back to my magic decoder ring from the bottom of cracker-jack boxes... think i just aged myself...

Yeah know how you feel. Although i got the first one, im starting to believe it was sheer luck or divine intervention or maybe just guessing. Also, its kind of creepy, this lolie enters, and 30 minutes later she says shes got it, and that it was lame! (not cos shes a girl, but the 30 minutes).

Lolie 0 #31 January 28, 2004 Are you calling me creepy? I sorta had an unfair advantage on this one. But no outside help; I did it myself! It's hard to explain without giving any clues, though. It took me a lot less than 30 minutes, too. -Miranda you shall above all things be glad and young / For if you're young,whatever life you wear it will become you;and if you are glad / whatever's living will yourself become.

Lolie 0 #34 January 28, 2004 QuoteHmm, what if you were to say one(1) word about the solution, that is without spoiling it...what would it be then? Hm, that's a hard question. Here's a clue: I could totally give away the answer just by saying one word. Er du fra Danmark? Jeg tror, at jeg så, at du sagde, at du er. Er det rigtigt? -Miranda you shall above all things be glad and young / For if you're young,whatever life you wear it will become you;and if you are glad / whatever's living will yourself become.

Det er du tilsyneladende også, eller du er i hvert fald i nær forbindelse med en eller flere fra Danmark? Rart at se en repræsentant derovre. Hm, i guess you shouldn´t then. Wouldn´t want to smack myself for not seeing it for myself. Still i´ll be looking for subliminal clues in your post, to see if it makes the difference.

bmcd308 0 #38 January 28, 2004 I started out performing various types of matrix calculations to try to reduce the six bits of each letter to a decimal value that I assumed would correspond to a letter. But that did not work, and I abandoned it after several hours of wasted time. Brent ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Linde 0 #40 January 28, 2004 I see. guess i was too fast comparing it with the first one then, most of the day i have been dissecting it as one string or attempts to binarize same. Thx for the clues anyway, ill make this one or cry trying. Linde Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

champu 1 #43 January 29, 2004 whoa, it would seem I'm late to this one, everyone's already got it figured out. hmm... I'm looking at it... and I'm not seeing anything... if it's as lame as you guys say, maybe I'll come back to it in the morning. I'm tired, so even if it did jump out at me I'd probably miss it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmcd308 0 #44 January 29, 2004 I downloaded mine this morning. I think it is funny that we solved it before the link even worked. I also think it is funny that only 285 people have solved the first one. Skydivers are some geniuses!

quade 4 #49 January 29, 2004 Quote OH MY GOD! I cant believe these messages... i can only say one thing... duh... drink your ovaltine! It's not the destination, it's the journey. The Spirit code was a journey. We first saw the disc. We tried to determine how to even think about it. We dissected it at the bit level. We saw the first clue . . . which didn't help much without The second clue. So we had to find the relevant passage and fit them together. The Opportunity code was, uh, not so much a journey. I saw the disc and recognised the code just from looking at it.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah i got it...now im stuck with this feeling of "why didnt i try this out". For a moment yesterday i thought i had it, i saw "crispy is tvr", but that was the closest i came...
