thread for seti@work

i found that this Ftqdq mdq 12 Bqzfayuza etmbqe uz ftq eomz sol is solved by using a ceasar cipher an means There are 12 Pentomino shapes in the scan.
also the name Delalian is used, wich is a game about pentomino shapes, in the table with letters there is already a piece in place, so i think the table has to be filled in an the remaining spots are the awnser. any ideas?

Edit:
found this template: dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/up...
the pieces it seems to fit

As far as i know:
-All of the pentomino's have a letter asociated to the shape
-One way to order all the pentomino's is in a 3*20

And there is an image in map view that is a 3*20 matrix

To this i have to say, 116 in roman is CXVI, and there are some pentomino's asociated to this same letters

The movie in rental queue, is grouped in pair resulting in a total 6 groups.
Based on the hint, you sum the number (as clippy say, oddly number) in the poster and convert it to a binary.
Don't know about the review page
For the delivery schedule, if green is 1 and red is 0. Then it will produce new binary set except saturday.

all that is waste of time, just look at the first two pages.

Movies on pages were all "POPULAR" at the time they came out!
Hint#1...another word for popular when talking about movies! Think about Matrix movie!

Hint#2...a word for something that Clint Eastwood uses and other action movies have in their
movie on that list on page one.
put the two words together and BINGO you got it!

The IBSN links to the book "Laser: Light of a Million Uses".

There's also some kind of co-ordinates on the image of the map, and it has something to do with the code that is on the third column of the featured news section.

Looks like if you put together the code and the co-ordinates from the map, you'll get an alphabet or something (?). I'll go through this at lunch, and get back. :)

The featured news section also mentions Mooresburg, PA, and cross-referencing the given keyboard with a map, the closest key to Mooresburg is 'M'.
Unless I'm wrong, I think we start at 'M', use the code given to go across the keyboard and write down all the alphabets we land on. That should give us a key, which should be the solution.

The only thing I"m not able to fit in is the book mentioned. I don't know where that comes in.

You do not need to draw on the globe. You can draw on any matrix. Continue the drawing from letter to letter (don't restart). You may need to turn the drawing around to identify the shape

Starting a top thread for part 4 "Revamp"

Translated every song. One translates to "Hint - Overlap the songs point by point"

Have to overlap the songs but how is the question, what does it mean point by point? Line them up using the equalizer settings? Song duration?

Collapse
 
mackulin profile image

Couple other things stand out

these following songs have flat line equalizers while the others dont. They also seem to be clues

Magic Mirror - TOD ETALSNART (TRANSLATE DOT) 3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3

Indiciu - Suprapune punct cu punct melodiile (Hint - Overlap the songs point by point) 3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3

Wayne - The Dot Song 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1

SOS - Find me DMS 3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3


EDIT
You can separate the songs in categories. First split them up based on their equalizes, as the same number ones are hints, the other half you can split a second time on if the song is about Dots, if you listen to clippy, he gives hints also. and he states "a rose by any other name is still a rose" , so dot by any other name is still a dot, i.e. POINT, SPOT, LOCATION*

The one song is SOS - Find me DMS, DMS = DEGREES : MINUTES : SECONDS.
This idea is backed by some of those hint songs. Also when you export the list of songs, you only get 18 not the full 19 songs in the list. This is another clue and can be confirmed by seeing the equalized are all the same when you select track 19. This song is called "DEGREES - Spin Me Around", this mentions out degrees and spinning, pointing us back to DMS = DEGREES : MINUTES : SECONDS

So since we are looking for a location, we now know we need the coordinates of this location, not a name.

need to figure out how to solve for the coords, that will be the answer


EDIT 2
Clippy gave clue of Duration and Directions be correlated.
Thinking it has to deal with the time lengths of the songs with Dot references.


EDIT 3
okay having the songs in three groups does matter. the songs about dot, songs not about dots, and songs that dont fit in either of those.
you add theses songs' lengths up to get minutes and second for both West and North
you then take the two number (116:36) from track 19 for the DEGREES

so once everything is slapped together you get the following coords
116:23:46 W 36:38:38 N

Though i was incorrect, the coords are not the answer but rather the location name they point to.
I will leave that little bit as fun for you guys as this is the last part of this drive.

I don't know what you're saying about "songs about dot, songs not about dots, and songs that don't fit into either of those." The last two categories seem like the same things. Do you mean "songs with dot in the title, song with synonyms for dot (i.e. point) in the title, and songs with neither"?

Thread Thread
 
mackulin profile image
🅼🅰🅲🅺🆄🅻🅸🅽 🌐

First look at all the song's equalizer numbers. Any songs that have all the same number (repeating 1 or 2 or 3, etc) are clues. These songs can go in their own group and are no longer useful besides what clues that give.
Of the remaining songs, divide them into two more groups those about dots (points, dots, etc, if it means a dot it is included), if the song does not have anything to do with dots put that in the other group.

IE the three groups are
1 - Songs with straight equalizer bars - these are clues
2 - Songs that deal with dots, points, etc
3 - all remaining songs that dont fit in the above.

SOLVED

First hint is to list the presidents and their codenames in order,

second hint says to rearrange to the first puzzle number (the ones we had to solve for) and the order is from top to bottom of the puzzle, so president number order is then 3 - 1 - 2 - 4 - 7 - 5 - 9 - 6
Giving you:

3 Volunteer
1 Scorecard // Providence
2 Lancer
4 Searchlight
7 Rawhide
5 Passkey
9 Eagle
6 Lock Master

third hint says to use second number to then get the letter from each codename
if you do the same order that you took from hint 2 then you get the following:

3 Volunteer 6
1 Scorecard // Providence 5
2 Lancer 6
4 Searchlight 4
7 Rawhide 2
5 Passkey 3
9 Eagle 2
6 Lock Master 9

You take this and you get the following:

T(E/I)RRASAT

the i option that comes from Providence makes less sense as the E would make the word TERRA, or give us our answer of the target satellite that is known as TERRASAT {ANSWER}

right, so everything in here makes sense to me, until the part where you pulled the correct order of the codenames from.

how did you end up with 3 - 1 - 2 - 4 - 7 - 5 - 9 - 6? im trying to find the sudoku connection to that, but alas ive found nothing.

when you copy all the numbers from the solved sudoku it appears like
6 3 7 2 5 4 9 8 11 2 4 8 9 3 7 5 69 5 8 6 1 7 4 3 22 9 6 4 8 1 5 7 35 4 3 7 6 2 1 9 87 8 1 9 3 5 6 2 44 6 5 3 2 9 8 1 73 7 9 1 4 8 2 6 58 1 2 5 7 6 3 4 9
and the paired numbers come out to 11 69 22 35 87 44 73 58

What does it mean by pairs. I thought it meant the the number in the box and in the corner. eg 36, 35, 26

also it says 9 presidents the preceded Clinton, that doesn't include him so the list should start and Harry S Truman

I'm trying to get anything from those codenames and second set of letters and it looks like it could spell "anagram" although that's not all the letters

A lot of people are misleading about Mission 2. There are clues in all 3 playlists. I'll drop a few hints if people want them.

The hint about missing letters in the song titles is correct (mentioned in previous thread). Pay attention to Clippy when he talks about liking song titles.
