More literal, do you need that many words?

Is 30 the end or is it a clue?

I think 30 is the end as of right now, but the guy's writing some more.

I'm stuck on 24:
fn_four_point_eight_nine_eight_nine_seven_nine_fou...

fn = function
a function of a number

i'm stuck on 24

= four_point_eight_nine_eight_nine_seven_nine_fou...

I'm stuck on 27 and the #bbabb, any clues?

raz0rr · 13 Jul 2006 at 17:43

I can't figure out 26.

I know it's hex triplets, but I can't get any further :confused:

Think binary and a=0

Think colours

Think colours

I know it relates to colours, but the colour it produces is pretty much black, and putting 'black' in doesn't work.

If you add 1 to 11011 in binary what is the result?

G-MAN2004 · 13 Jul 2006 at 20:04

I still don't get why number 5 is 'oooooo' :confused:

playworker · 13 Jul 2006 at 20:09

No. 5 is ooooo
No. 6 is oooooo

If you still don't get it then there's no helping you

try looking at the RGB values of the "pretty much black" colour

well the number you have there is
(from right to left)
1x1 + 1x2 + 0x4 + 1x8 + 1x16 (so the 1x1 is the right most 1 and the 1x16 is the left most one)

you need Ax1 + Bx2 + Cx4 + Dx8 + Ex16 = 28 (again where a is the rightmost digit [1/0] and E is the left most digit [1/0]

see if you can figure it out now

That was my clue to someone else!

I've got that far, I know it gets you 26, 0, 26, but I don't know what you can do with that; I've tried just about every single thing I can think of

Oh that's why then. The guy who posted it first put 6 o's instead of 5 for number 5. That's why i was confused.

Thanks.

Remember you're trying to get to 27

Still suck on mine, so annoying.

I know, but putting in #1b001b doesn't work, putting in 27027 doesn't work, putting in ANY permutation doesn't seem to work

just done TEN

ihave a blank screen nothing to highlight, help!

Try without the #, caught me out as well.

Iirc, check the page source.

stuck on 28-29. I know it's leap, but not sure what the exact answer is...

If feb has 28, then feb has 29 in a leap year, but feb_has_29_in_leap_year doesn't work. Hmmm...

Why didn't I think of that!
