They solved it over at the blog comments.

For reference, here's what they got in the comments:

Quote:
E2-E4 H7-H5 D2-D4 A7-A5 G2-G4
H5-G4 H2-H3 G4-H3 H1-H3 B7-B5
B1-C3 C7-C5 D4-D5 E7-E6 D5-E6
F8-D6 H3-H8 D8-G5 C3-D5 E8-D8
F1-E2 G5-C1 E6-F7 C1-C2 E1-F1
C2-B2 D1-E1 B2-A1 D5-E3 D8-C7
F2-F4 A1-A2 H8-G8 A2-F7 G8-G7
D6-F4 G7-H7 F7-E6 F1-G2 E6-A6
H7-H4 F4-D6 G2-F1 C7-B7 H4-H1
B7-A7

The sequence paired off into what could be chess moves..

1. e2 e4 White pawn to e4
2. h7-h5 Black pawn to h5
3. d2-d4 White pawn to d4
4. a7-a5 Black pawn to a5
5. g2-g4 White pawn to g4
6. h5xg4 Black pawn captures g4

And the results of the first
six turns. Anybody want to 'play' out the rest and see if it really is chess?

 		Has anyone been able to verify this? It's just been pointed out to me that anything posted on April 1st is highly suspicious... and the people on heroeswiki.com haven't been able to replicate the results using the given steps.

you're right. i shouldn't have jumped the gun on that one. Sad


but, Hiro did say "I will bring you a game." And chess is a game which Hiro would play since he's a geeky nerd.

 		Oh, I promise that wasn't pointed! I'm sorry Sad I'm inclined to believe that this is actually the solution, but we're missing a step or something like the last one.

 		Hiro's response
After I post the e-mail from Hiro I will go back and find out who it was on the 9th wonders board so I can give proper credit...

Hana,

I must minimize communications now as I discovered there is a traitor

If you need to reach me, you can find me at 215 Reed St. #7, New York,

As always, thank you for your help and please tell your partner,
"karadanikiotsuketekudasai".

For Charlie,

 		Okay... I think I get some of what's happened here. The solve for Hiro's blog puzzle is as follows, as quoted from this blog:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
1. Convert the binary bytes (baito) to individual hexadecimal, similar to how 3000 is the hex value for the stardate of 12288.

2. Add 3000 in hexadecimal to each 2-digit hex byte. Conveniently, since they are all two-digits, they add easily, so the first byte 44, becomes 3044.

3. Convert these now 4-digit hex values into the Unicode text equivalent, which just happens to get you a whole bunch of Japanese Hiragana. This can be done easily by typing the 4-digit number in wordpad, highlighting it, then pressing Alt+X. You will probably need the some sort of Japanese language pack to get it to display correctly, I installed it before I tried it so I don't know.

Edit: A google search for karada ni kiotsukete kudasai


4. Go to a Japanese keyboard and write down the corresponding english letters and numbers corresponding to the Japanese characters you found.

5. Play a game of chess. Looking at a chess board from the white side, the Columns are labeled A-H and the Rows 1-8, with 1 being closest to the white side. This can be done manually or with a free chess program like Chessbase Lite.

6. The moves will put the pieces in a shape to spell out D L.


Now that was a hardcore puzzle. I wouldn't have believed that players solved it if I hadn't seen them do it. And even then, I'm sceptical as to whether one or two "players" didn't have inside info.

But I'm not sure where someone got the leap of logic to e-mail DHLSPLATprimatechpaper.com. I mean, I understand that DLH is D.L. Hawkins... but why did anyone try to e-mail him and what made them put in his initials instead of his name?

Mod help again, perhaps?

Also, by the way, A google search shows that "karadanikiotsuketekudasai" probably means "karada ni kiotsukete kudasai" which is Japanese for "take care of yourself." or something to that effect.

 		I have no doubt that there was some "help" along the way to solve this puzzle... In the "Bound by death and luck" game, someone from the NBC staff was dropping hints.

In this particular case, if you follow the link I provided just before your post, you can see how a number of people came to the conclusion to e-mail primatech.

 		Yeah, DLH makes sense, following the format that the last e-mail address was in (KaitoN).
