Not going to give any hints that would lead towards how to solve it, as I want it to take some time for you guys to solve. I did get the concept for this puzzle from a puzzle that Rubix once posted. And I did not get anyone to test this… so I hope I didn’t make an error.

edit: after 56 minutes, qqwref solved it correctly! See comments 258 or 264 for how to solve it.

Not going to give any hints that would lead towards how to solve it, as I want it to take some time for you guys to solve. I did get the concept for this puzzle from a puzzle that Rubix once posted. And I did not get anyone to test this… so I hope I didn’t make an error.

…Damn… it was about HEX after all then.
Posted at 7:27pm on August 29th, 2008
how to solve?
-the numbers are decimal ASCII. convert to plain text.
-you are left with a whole bunch of octal numbers (hence the 32 every 4th number).
-convert the octal back to plain text. you are left with hex values.
-convert the hex to plain text to get “I LOVE FREE STUFF”

Posted at 7:31pm on August 29th, 2008
lol, I guess I was wrong
Posted at 7:31pm on August 29th, 2008
yea… you guys were trying hex, but it clearly made no sense in hex. should have realized it was base 10 for the 1st step. steps 2 and 3 are fairly obvious once you get the 1st.
rubix’s riddle started with binary, so that made it really easy to know what it was. he also made it clear that you were converting from 1 format to another in his pre-puzzle information. i made sure not to do that, as i wanted it to be harder. once you know what to do, it’s fairly straight forward.
Posted at 7:31pm on August 29th, 2008
someone should of just randomly posted i want free stuff lulz

Yo, virus003, binary code consists of using the digits 0 and 1 only.

Posted at 12:46am on August 30th, 2008
Too bad I missed this one… I was thinking ASCII right away, though I don’t know whether I would get the next steps.

Yeah, it’s fairly straightforward, if you’re a programmer/coder. *Rolls eyes*.

Seriously, every step screamed OBVIOUS TRANSLATIONLOL to me, haha. If I were here earlier, this riddle would have been mine for the raping.
Posted at 9:12am on August 31st, 2008
The only think that took more time to me was to actually do the translation, not finding what to do.
PS: There should be more of these.
Posted at 1:03pm on August 31st, 2008
Well, at least I was on the right track guessing HEX
