[DROP] Petaluma Revisited Dec. 11

[ixlr8]

When I downloaded the SD file, it opened up as an Excel sheet, but it's all a bunch of boxes and funky characters (like letters with non-English accents and other symbols).

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? (This is my first time really participating)

Add .rar to the end of the file name and open with winrar and start guessing passwords

I don't think guessing passwords is going to be very productive. There's always a clue or a trick to it. I'm curious as to what the significance of "Matchmaker" is. Perhaps we should be working on the movie matches before we try to crack the password to the .rar file.

Last time I checked, I thought they were working on them in the chat. I have 10 confirmed matches per Tachyon right now, so its just the rest. I am waiting back to hear from her..

[Kasdeja]

Gah. Sure wish I could get into chat...can't do much with this aRG if you don't live close by and if chat is blocked on your computer...

[Ziola]

I can't get in right now either...

[wstabeo]

Are all of the drops going to be in the bay area? I'd love to help out with that, but I'm not driving that far (400+ miles) fora game I still don't full understand.

I am, however, working on the password...no luck yet.

I'm gonna guess yes...all in that area. I don't think there's money to do these drops all over. We have to stick to the puzzle stuff.

You'd think the Ops would recruit a few people to help out with that.

Can we get an updated list of matches on that thread, so we can get a good idea as to what still needs to be done?

[Kasdeja]

I can never get it. Firewall. sigh. Oh well, I guess I'll just try to read along so I know what's going on...

Yeah, like a place non chat people can have updates on so we aren't working on something that's already figured out...since we have no way of knowing here, on the fourm? That...that would be GRRRREEEEAAAAATTT.

The movie thread has all the matches with their rationale and confirmation info. She took to confiming individual pairs at the end of the puzzle

[hagbard celine]

0/0 = 0
0/1 = 1
0/2 = 2
0/5 = 5
0/6 = 6
1/4 = 5
1/5 = 6
1/6 = 7
2/4 = 6
2/5 = 7
3/3 = 6
3/4 = 7
3/6 = 9

which if we were to turn this into hex...

we would have to use 5 6 or 7 to get a valid letter...

so we have 55 6666 777
for the second number we can use 0129 and i suppse we could use up a 5 6 7 also...

so we have

50 P
51 Q
52 R
55 U
56 V
57 W
59 Y
60 `
61 a
62 b
65 e
66 f
67 g
69 i
70 p
71 q
72 r
75 u
76 v
77 w
79 y

plus using ccf from the drop:

5C \
5F _
6C l
6F o
7C |
7F DEL

Others:

20 = space
21 = !
25 = %
26 = &
27 = '
29 = )
2C = ,
2F = /

8 letters. two 5's four 6's three 7's two C's one F one 0 one 1 one 2 one 9

As long as I've been going to the chat they've always been very good at making sure someone is posting updates on the forum. You just have to look for them.

[Sad Panda]

You know, sometimes I think you people ask for the summaries, knowing full well they exist, just to make my hair turn grey:

plus CCF

I tried running the domino numbers through a UPC code check. It didn't work until I knocked off the 9 at the end - for no good reason other than to see if it would work. It did. Without the 9 it is a UPC code but there is no product identified with it
