TEN-FIVE-SEVEN.ORG

Been so busy with getting things ready for the MC this year that I didn’t realize that updating WordPress (and the theme) broke part of the site…

I’ll deal with that tonight…

Actually it’s been closed for some time, I’ve just been busy preparing evil- er I mean getting ready for Defcon.

I’d appreciate it if teams don’t get insane (like the did two years ago)- but picking up a stray team member or two might be encouraged- I would suggest you prepare for an additional team member…(remember I said that)-

How is everyone doing?

Jason is the Mystery Challenge of Juggling

As another team registers….

Closure approaches….

Registration will close soon.

If you are working on registration, or intend to, please make it known:

Post here, email me, or post on the Defcon forums…

Another team registered today.

Defcon draws ever closer.

Watch for advice/hints from this point forward….

Hurdy gur,

LosT

Um. Yeah.

Still a few seats open.

But they’re going fast….

The “SIMPLE” way to fix something- the fewest steps to correct…adding, flipping, taking away…just the pieces anyways…

And with a checksum, you know if you picked the right path…

What’s my favorite number again?

How do you get to a ‘pretty’ symmetry?

LosT^> Everyone take a deep breath…
ray6: define contains….
Hi there!
krux: I use 204 in the process. It’s the fix
well hello lost
Can I exhale yet?
* Yen is watching LOST
it somehow violates the almost – but not really. So, impossible to say if it’s right
PunkAB: only on odd numbered seconds
I was watching LOST an hour ago
Step 1. Derive number (somehow)
Step 2. Fix (per instructions)
Step 3. ????
Step 4. Profit
check some

LosT^> Lets do a group brainstorm….
First, our title:
flirzan: It _must_ be slow if a fan would describe Stephenson as “long in the tooth”.
“Can you read between the lines”
Title is Title on YT
not “Can you read between the bad lines”, eh
Do I get to play?
There were also several other hints about “every other week” etc…
Ok…
Week is confusing as there also were day hints…
I assume everyone has the Phoenix phone reference
ray,
you are too literal
it’s the concepts
and the area code intended is most likely 602
just “every other”
ok
It is very easy to mislead,
and those who have played know
the concepts are important,
and only sometimes are the details important

only SUM
SUM TIMES
that’s what I say for days. more than SUM was never said in math terms. OK. And multiply
I use misspellings and word play often
Yen, if you have that,
then you have enough to solve easy way 1
It is very explicit you are looking at titles on you tube….
‘that’…the area code?
and sums…

and YT titles I assume…
first and foremost, you should pay attention to LosT
But I say too much
You have pieces in your hands….
And I don’t ALWAYS use a zero offset

Re: Hints?
Random thoughts for today….

So Don Lockwood sang to us about ONE letter. Remember when they placed the picture on that stuff old guy’s lap, after throwing trash on him? Yeah that was pretty funny.

I’m glad I could keep my Phoenix area code when I switched to the new phone. I hate it when you have to change business cards, etc. A real pain.

Would you buy something labeled as “kosher bacon”?

Take a breath, step back, and look at what you have…

Some things never change.

You guys and gals are all doing well. Keep it up.

Here’s a little encouragement.

You’re all the best around. The talents the teams show make the regular Defcon attendees look like lazy bums.

So how are we doing?

Find my friend al-a-robo-death on that lame-ass social networking site yet? Good.

Decipher his “message” yet? Follow the directions there? Good.

Get a response? Find his notes interesting? Good.

All this talk of odd & even. Just strike that. (Or at least half of it.)

What’s in a name? Everything. All the little letters, sitting there, in a nice little row…from the first to the last….

Phone calls to the booth in the desert. Fun.

I love numbers.

But I have a favorite, don’t you know…
