Sorry guys. . . just trying to get the conversation started again as I was hoping someone had really solved it and would toss us a bone. In other words, I haven't cracked it, either. Been playing with the hash pipe, so to speak, but coming up empty. Not giving up but not a lot of time to work on it these past couple of days.

hmmm i though that if i they were the two sub list for a merge sort then if i could sort them or reverse them it would give me something i could maybe stick into a hex - ASCII converter

If we could list what this Von Numman has done maybe we could get a clue

So far there's
Merge sort
Pseudorandom number generators

any others that could help?

Look at the invisible text on the page and see if that gives a helping hand - use right-click and select all to find it easily.

If that's not enough...

Could someone help on resistance is futile, I know I'm asking for help everywhere, but if I get through this one then I can do the griddler easy and I'd have caught up, please reply quick coz I can only get on net at college and that's the reason I don't have time to think on this much, please help once again. Just a little nudge would be good coz I'm completely befuzzled.

no da

Just to let people know, Brian's updated the final page due to an error in transcription (every byte was swapped with it's nearest neighbour)...

It sure helped me (finished Smile

Right, no-one seems to have struck as lucky as I did on this, so I guess I'll roll out the hints. Brian intended this to end up as a lottery, and I'm sure it would even without any hints from me, but still, it makes me feel superior Smile

I warn you though, I'm not great at spoilers, the are usually just as cryptic as the original...
