If you collaborate...at least don't make it obvious.

By asking GPers to avoid doing this, you basically lock in the increased likelihood of them doing it

That binary was totally useless.

To not attract the attention of the mods, I would ask you to not spam the thread with binary/hex, you can put it in a spoiler.

Thank you

Sorry about that. I started it by responding to the OP's spoiler.

No worries. This seems to have a lot of engagement with it which is awesome to see.

ANNOUNCEMENT

Because this game caught attention and a good number of people have joined it, I'm planning to make this a a regular event - twice or once a month - where regional or inter-regional teams and individuals can compete to complete the puzzle. All those who complete it will be ranked, posted here and 'awarded'. The project is still in the works so any input can be helpful.

Thank you

Are you going to be targetting (or even creating) a new region every few weeks, or are these future challenges just for fun?

This thread was formerly entitled "Watching from the shadows [an intriguing recruitment test]" and then "Watching from the shadows [THE TEST HAS BEGUN]". I would assume that this thread is no longer as recruitment-oriented as it once was, and has since devolved into a puzzle of much less consequence and just as much fun?

by **0110110101100101** » Sat Feb 08, 2020 12:05 pm

Announcement
