[PUZZLE][SOLVED] 12-10-06 Movie Night

Post by shifty »

(Sorry to jack your thread Shifty. This is Tiger. If any guesses are semi-confirmed PM me here, on IRC or prefereably on AIM [Mugglepuff21] and I'll get that edited in Thanks!)

One step at a time, before the next. I wouldn't want to confuse you. Figure out what you need and we'll go from there.

Step 1: Always be prepared.

From base64 translates to:

Code: Select all

1: 303935303431313331333130
2: 333231323132323931353230

F: 313732383330363933333430
And with every other column of 3's taken out:

Code: Select all

1: 095041131310
2: 321212291520

which, when decoded from base 64 gives you this in ASCII:

4d 61 74 63 68 20 74 68 65 20 71 75 6f 74 65 2f 73 63 65 6e 65 2f 73 65 71 75 65 6e 63 65 20 28 69 6e 20 6c 6f 77 65 72 63 61 73 65 29 20 74 6f 20 74 68 65 20 6d 6f 76 69 65 20 28 69 6e 20 55 50 50 45 52 43 41 53 45 29 2e 20 57 61 74 63 68 20 61 6e 64 20 63 6f 6d 70 61 72 65 20 74 68 65 20 6c 6f 77 65 72 63 61 73 65 20 73 63 65 6e 65 20 69 6e 20 65 61 63 68 20 55 50 50 45 52 43 41 53 45 20 6d 6f 76 69 65 20 74 6f 20 66 69 6e 64 20 61 20 70 61 74 74 65 72 6e 20 74 68 61 74 20 77 69 6c 6c 20 64 65 74 65 72 6d 69 6e 65 20 68 6f 77 20 79 6f 75 20 68 61 6e 64 6c 65 20 74 68 65 20 55 50 50 45 52 43 41 53 45 20 6c 65 74 74 65 72 73 2f 6e 75 6d 62 65 72 73 2e

then decode this from hex and you get:

Match the quote/scene/sequence (in lowercase) to the movie (in UPPERCASE). Watch and compare the lowercase scene in each UPPERCASE movie to find a pattern that will determine how you handle the UPPERCASE letters/numbers.

I thought maybe each colum that changed numbers could be paired up with the hex letter/number on the line it was with to make a letterr. I took the second colum and put it each number with the number/letter of the line it's on and got:

10 23 39 43 58 68 76 85 93 a4 b3 c1 d8 e5 f1
Which is just jumble in Hex: #9CXhv…“¤³ÁØåñ

*shrugs*

I guess that's not it! But I can say that I tried.

And the numbers with the bullets removed.

Code: Select all

095041131310
321212291520
976791639687
392041131310
824584340497
853000345420
626513291520
523231193580
621563291520
426507616720
326282293580
125387400440
847568616720
575620693340
172830693340
which translates from decimal to base64 as:

Code: Select all

////////////////////
It does that with the 3's still in though, so it could be wrong.

And it is wrong. Op squashed this translation in a YT message, which I posted.

There are the numbers with the 3's taken out.
If you take the row and put each number with the row "name" and put those letters in Hex you get letters in Base 64.

Row1:10 19 15 10 14 11 11 13 11 13 10: EBkVEBQRERMRExA=
Row2: 23 21 22 21 22 22 29 21 25 22 20: IyEiISIiKSElIiA=

Ugh. I know, jibberish. Put I thought maybe it was scrambled...but it has characters that aren't letters :(.

Eh.
I fall down, a lot.

Why?

Maybe each letter and number represents an identifier and not an interger? Maybe we should try and focus on decoding each line?

And if you get '/' characters thats an error message normally I thought. I follow the base64 to HEX, from there I am trying to think what uses 12 digit combinations.

Any ideas? :lol:
