really really really sorry if this has been asked, but i did search in between stopping my 2 little terrorists destroying the house but....

what does this result mean?

The decoded file for key 'possible' vaguely looks like a \
'POSSIBLE' is no good.
'Possible' is no good.
The decoded file for key 'possible' vaguely looks like a \

if there is a link with all the descriptions, please let me know.

PS really really really really sorry Smile

Hi Guys,

I'm relatively new to Perplexcity, but me and my other half have been doing pretty well at solving cards up to the blacks. Haven't got this card yet but would love to get involved int he solve, especially as I've missed out on being able to help out on most other cards!

I've read the preceding pages, and understand that there are 2 linked approaches, 1 group looking at the brute force processing aspects, and one researching possible keys.

I have little cryptographical knowledge and similar levels of progamming knowledge, but what can I do to help?

You guys seem to have covered so many possible routes for keys that i don't want to duplicate effort. Does anyone have any ideas they need researching but don't have time?

If not I'll just hit t'internet and see what I find!

OK, I'm fairly certain this hasn't been posted before.

If you google 64128, it gives you this:

http://maps.google.com/maps?oi=map&q=64128

which is on East 33rd street

Can someone try that for me? (have nowhere near the understanding necessary to get the program working, sorry!) Embarassed

Also, after completing the 12 labours Hercules apparently went to do some work for Laomedon, king of Troy, where he killed Poseidon. He also dallied around with Achilles dad, his second wife was Deianira who used the blood of one of the creatures he killed to get revenge when he cheated on her. Also, The play The Madness of Hercules by Euripides I think, has the 12 labours happening before madness (although this would need to be padded.

Anyone anythoughts on these?

Am also trying to find routes away from Hercules, but its hard!

Ok, a couple more if someone fancies trying them?

Distributed.net found the 39th Mersenne prime (2^13466917-1).

Since then there have been claims to the Mersenne primes up to the 43rd (I believe) this being 2^30402457-1.

Aside from being 8 letters and linked to Distributed.net, I like the fact that 13 is the 5th (cf 5 cows) Mersenne prime.

13 is the 3rd 'lucky prime' based on a sequence from a stiry by Josephus.

13 is also the number of nodes in Melatron's cube

13 popes called innocent

13 is the ASCII code for carriage return

Ok, so some of them are a bit out there, but if someone doesn't mind trying them? please?

go on http://www.connected.ltd.uk/pxc/ to guess what you think the key is...

i dont know what it means by \....

and if its a "rejected" key then the word is followed by "is no good" hence my sad post above Sad

I'm only relatively new to this but I think far too much effort is being put in to this. I think there are some rather perverse people at Mind Candy currently having a big laugh at our expense. When, IF, it is cracked I rather suspect that we will be told of a far simpler solution.

I'm new to this and am going to start working on my own, from the ground up....

Ideas:

- 64/12/8 - could this be a reference to a book? Page/Chapter/Paragraph?
- 251 - is the card number, itself, a clue? Clearly 256 is more common for all things geeky but still.......
- have those in perplexcity academy been of any use? There is an entire cryptographic department.
