doing all that was a waste of time, just look at the list of movie posters, what were they at the time?(hint for first part of word), Next, what do some of the films have in common, like Clint Eastwood movie? (That's hint for second part of the word!)

Hey Raphael, welcome to the Dev community.

I believe @tonye10622997 is pointing you towards the correct direction: think of who Clint Eastwood was, and the key factor separating his movies from the rest. If you need help, check out Britannica.

Just getting started this morning with weather.tech
The map has a qwerty keyboard, and news has an Isbn

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.

In the featured news section, if you click on 'The best way to predict a tornado's trajectory is to view its source.', it brings you to a new page

Yes, that's the code I was referring to. We can use the pseudocode given there.

I figured it out. Basically if you follow the code with the co-ordinates on the map, you'll end up with a shape. That's the answer.

When following the code, what does 'If ALPHABET is made of only '2 Straight Lines' or '3 Straight Lines'' ask you? I don't understand it.

Alphabet is a letter, right... Now what letters would be made of 2-3 straight lines? :)

I came to the conclusion, drew a shape... I'm pretty sure I've drawn the correct shape I just can't tell what it is... what the hell is that shape? any clues?

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

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

yes use the 20×3 matrix and look for the C,X,V,I shapes then find the middel of that shape and those letters shoud form a logical answer.

Use the word LASER (from the book) as the input for the pseudo-code
It is using all (and only) the f(1,x)s
But we can't figure out what the drawing creates...

Using LASER and draw it randomly in Excel
L & A have same function so same pattern, same with E & R
S is basically bigger version of E & R
S should not have pattern because the function exit if detect alphabet S

From what we figure -
Draw it over the grid of the globe.
Note you should start going north (compass set to N).
But how to continue?

For each letter in LASER, find the corresponding key on the keyboard and call the pseudocode with the f(x,y) on that key.

If you have the right shape you will know what it is
It is difficult to see at first
try turning it around

and, maybe use red color for the path

ok in a scene in the movie Titanic, Rose is laying naked on the couch and Jack is going to draw a picture of her. She said " Draw me like one of your French girls!"

I'm stuck in weather so I check the netfilms
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.

No need for binary for this challenge.
Read the reviews - they have great hints.

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!
