New post by -The Hateful- over at http://sarah9503.blogspot.com/ seems to indicate that weephun may be on the right track with his analysis but that it isn't decimal as the posting reads simply:

OK, so that must mean either
1 - the final answer needs to be in a different base (hex or binary)
2 - one or more of my conversions is incorrect
3 - one of my assumptions about the function definitions is incorrect (ex. iterate could be take 1 from sarah and add to steve instead of take 1*sarah from sarah and add it to steve)

We'll see how busy work is today (unfortunately it's looking quite busy Sad )

OK, double checked my binary->dec and hex->dec conversions and I'm nearly positive they are all correct.

So that leaves
1 - final answer in wrong base
2 - base assumption of functions is wrong

For an entrenched guy, I would have thought that you would have been able to find the "EDIT" button by now

Mind. stuck. on. math. problem. .... can't. remember. post. etiquette. ...

Sorry about that, it wasn't intentional Embarassed . Just trying to get 6 tasks going here at work (2 compiling programs, 1 code release, 1 test qual, 1 new test pattern, 4 people bugging me about each one ... and a partridge in a pear tree), answering 2 phone calls and having 3 people stop by my desk in between the 4 posts, converting hex/binary to decimal, getting new functions plugged into my spreadsheet, etc, etc.

So no, it was not trying to get my #s up, just trying to get my new findings out (and they happen to come in the random disjointed manner in which I'm able to work on them).

What I SHOULD be doing is waiting until I get home to do all this. But ARG addiction is a nasty, nasty thing Laughing Wink

weephun has a license to post. After all, he ratted out the sleeping princess. (That was before I helped Chappy kill her entirely. We were all responsible. Very Happy )

And with just a couple days before ARGFest, we appreciate his diligence!

I am positive that weephun would have figured that out for himself if they just gave him another 10 minutes or so to finish that phone call, answer the three new questions and re-run several processes that failed while he tried the first three iterations....

I was soooooo close Rolling Eyes

STEVE:
Feed
I
Iterate
I XVI
Assemble
I XVI 01110100
Reiterate
I XVI 01110100 002E
Assemble
I XVI 01110100 002E 00010212
Reiterate
I XVI 01110100 002E 00010212 0068
etc etc etc

FINAL STEVE:
I XVI 01110100 002E 00010212 0068 1211 0077 0402 0095 0300 003B 0166 00A6 0155 0114 0126 0117 0110 0156 0094 0223 0088 0253

007A 0431 006D 1221 0079 00011010 0074
All together now:
IXVI01110100002E00010212006812110077040200950300003B016600A60155011401260117011001560094022300880253007A0431006D

12210079000110100074

SARAH:
if the process of giving takes from oneself:
01101110
If in giving, there is no loss:
XVI 002E 0068 0077 0095 003B 00A6 0114 0117 0156 0223 0253 0431 1221 00011010 01101110
together again:
XVI002E006800770095003B00A601140117015602230253043112210001101001101110


So STATE STEVE AND SARAH:
give and take: I01110100002E00010212006812110077040200950300003B016600A60155011401260117011001560094022300880253007A0431006

D12210079000110100074XVI01101110
or
Doth not diminish in the giving thereof: I01110100002E00010212006812110077040200950300003B016600A

60155011401260117011001560094022300880253007A0431006D12210079000110100074XVI002E006800770095003B00A

601140117015602230253043112210001101001101110


Also assuming that when ITERATE is defined, it is also actually executed. If it is not, then STEVE is slightly different.
STEVE:
I 01110100 XVI 002E 00010212 0068 1211 0077 0402 0095 0300 003B 0166 00A6 0155 0114 0126 0117 0110 0156 0094 0223 0088 0253

007A 0431 006D 1221 0079 00011010 0074
one more time:
I01110100XVI002E00010212006812110077040200950300003B016600A60155011401260117011001560094022300880253007A0431006D

12210079000110100074

...

Unless FEED~I~SARAH[LEGS]~TO~STEVE[LEGS] means take some part of SARAH (not the whole) and give to STEVE

And then what do actually do with all of these crazy string ... I have NO idea!

...

Screwy look at all the pretty strings Screwy ... I wonder if they have balloons at the end of them .... Bang Head

This kloo was posted to look like it was done last night, but I'm sure it wasn't there earlier.

Quote:
KLOO KLOO KLOO GODDAMIT KLOO!!!!!!!!!!!
I was had a roach called Steve
I gave him 01110100 Base II
Then gave him 00010212 Base III
Then gave him 1211 Base IV

...

I also had a roach called Sarah
I gave her 002E Base XVI
Then I gave her 0068 Base XV
Then I gave her 0077 Base XIV



Edit: Boy they had to knock us over the head for this one.
