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..

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. :D

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?

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.

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.

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 :(
