The one after Su Doku is starting to bug me.

I know what it is and the value, I just don't know how to enter it!

Words, numbers, symbols?

I tried about 30 different combinations last night, and got nowhere.

As for the next one, I think the Peter Principle might be kicking in. I don't even know what the heck it is.

It's not too tough actually. It's a puzzle, try solving it? You might need gridpaper...

Thanks for the Sudoku clues... finally solved it this morning with a fresh head.

Right... I've now got our whole development department working on the Von Neumann thingy Wink Still no idea though.

Anybody any further?

No Sad The only thing that can be related in his work (that I can see) is that he's responsible for the creation of the

merge sort


No further with that though. I've tried a few things, but I'm not sure what I'd do with the hex even if I did get it in another more friendly order Smile

It's just been pointed out to me that this is the final stage... (brian updated the main page since I started)...

Hi,

I have managed to catch up thanks to the hints on this thread.

Unfortunately I don't have anything to offer back at the moment. Von Neumann was certainly famous for a large number of things!

I observe that we have two groups of seven 64-bit strings. If it were turned into a data file would it have a recognisable format? If it were run as an executable would it do anything? Not sufficiently computer-literate to try these things myself - well, not at work, anyway Wink

Ok, its killing me.

I can't find the right combination of letters and numbers to get past the one after the sudoku. I know what it is and its value, I just can't put the letters into the right combination.

Any pointers?

No, not a recogniseable file simply typed in...
