Great job man.
-
Awesome. It will be interesting to see what tomorrow has in store.
-
Nice work Goose!

Thanks to FreeFall722 and Recon Ocelot's work, there was good data to work with. I had to guess at a few numbers to help reduce the number of permutations I was generating. With some bracketed numbers [368] that looked similar, I could then just iterate through the blank spaces and let the computer do the hard work. One trick I would use is to copy the Dropbox image into photoshop, drop a light grey background, and duplicate the image three times. Then move each of the duplicates 1 pixel along compass lines (WNE). This would emphasize an image. I've added an image illustrating this to the post.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THAT IS BUT YAY WE FIGURED OUT SOMETHING OKAY REALLY WHAT IS IT
-
nice... the irc has been buzzing all day. how did you get the top 4 digits? they dont seem to show up on any of the fft filtered images that peopel have made? we were planning a brute force!
-
Also Tiber you bastard you had me bruteforcing the wrong URL >_>
-
Sorry! I did my best. What did you think you could do anyway! Anyway I'm uploading the rings. Need to send a pm to duscan about it.
-
With only 3 numbers that are literally side by side to guess that's 1000 permutation, I had already gone through 400 by the time the picture was found >_>
-
You could have waited!
-
YOU COULD HAVE TRIED BEING RIGHT THE FIRST TIME! ;)
-
This is all because of me I made this possible, If it wasn't for me this would not have happened.
-
Thank you! Glad to see we arrived at a solution one way or another. I fear we may not be so lucky tomorrow. Each day it seems we grow more desperate despite whatever machinations we scheme up from previous efforts.
-
Finally!
-
HIGH FIVES EVERYBODY!

*high five*

Edited by Your MOM is MC: 2/14/2013 3:34:30 AMTell us how you cracked da code! BTW: Who was the one who said there wasn't a slah? :P
-
welp. I've spent far too much time lurking this thread waiting for this. Good job, goose. I'm going to bed.
-
Awesome! We shall dine on spiced pterodactyl tonight my good sir!
-
o that sounded like i want to cook you
-
Nice!
-
Edited by freefall722: 2/14/2013 3:32:21 AMFantastic! (anyone else glad that ended up being difficult in the end)
-
Thanks for the help. Your images were crucial. I have a new tip in a post I made above this one. Check it out, as it was how I found the first number 5.

Edited by freefall722: 2/14/2013 4:13:00 AMWas just reading that - very good idea. Maybe I'll make a separate dropbox link for tomorrow with some maximize filters applied. (on second thought I'm going to wait until whatever hell they have in store for us presents itself first :) ) Edit: Just realized your the guy I got all my images from Day 2 to figure out the clean FFT process - good stuff.

Hey, glad I could help you. I'm a big proponent of working together and sharing knowledge. We all get better.
