[DC][Puzzle][Foo] Hack the feed

Tried entering the answer to the sum (2147483647 - 37447376 = 2110036271)

Tried it as a Hexadecimal subtraction as well (211003C2D1)

Tried SQL injections, tried remote getting the time.php page it redirects to...

The first number is the highest signed integer that can be reached with 32 bits...

The second number seems to be nothing important...

And that's all I've got so far.

Why did he chose this number?
2147483647

It has a history for being weird.

I wish I had paid attention in Math class.

I can't think of anything in C++ to help with this one..

[Dr3dg]

I tried calling 214-748-3647... It said something in Spanish and hung up.

edit http://www.whitepages.com/maps/DAL
Its a Dallas area code... and nothing is coincidence

[Mindez]

I think that number would be too coincidential to be a proper in-game phone number.

It seems that xsd:long values > 2147483647 are not represented

PHP doesnt understand integers higher than it, but I dont see what that tells us except that its a PHP form, which we already know..

Yeah. Although I seem to remember in an old version of visual basic, if I used integer it used short (int16) only going from −32,768 to +32,767 before I had to use double, or whole. But yeah I know

So is the puzzle trying to get past the web page with nothing but the box on it? The box that looks like it needs a password?

[WolfHawk]

Or is the password already known?

[KGBrAm]

There's a bit more to the page than the textbox

But yes, we need the password!

[XtRaVa]

This is a puzzle from the game DC itself yeah?? So is there anything in that game that could relate to the numbers, or ways to work out such codes? I'm just having a look at it for fun, am not actually playing DC.
