Voltmeter puzzle solve (the non-brute force method):

I'm not sure what level to try and explain this at. I apologise if it is either too technical or too simplistic (or both!)

The starting point:
Looking at the picture it can be seen that there is a sinusoidal magnetic field which is generating an induced voltage in a pair of voltmeters.

*snip


I was told there would be no math on the exam.

 		AN EXPERIMENT
I'm really enjoying this, even when I'm just lurking or following only the MLR website and the twitter accounts.

Well, it isn't scary maths. Laughing
Puzzles like this stop me from getting rusty.
I would have done the mathy solve sooner, but the brute force method had been decided upon, implemented and solved before I saw the puzzle.

 		[VIDEO][VOTE] Walk it Out
Vote on the best runway walk from the zoo date
Sorry for the double post, hopefully this thread will be moved into CF with potential soon.

Everyone strutted their stuff during the zoo date:

I want everyone to keep in mind, the walkoff contest decides who buys who a burrito, if tim wins, i dont get a second date...

It is typical of both Tim and 011iver that neither of them suggest voting for the girl.
You can vote at Must Love Robots.

I think that 011iver was dishonourable when he swung the camera up at the glass ceiling during Tim's trademark hip wiggle. So I'm not voting for 011iver.

 		Or if you want to see Tim wearing a shirt, there are some new model photos at www.InactiveWare.com Smile
011iver has included one of my photos too. Being mid-winter, it isn't quite t-shirt weather here in Australia at the moment, so I was forced to wear a long sleeved t-shirt underneath.

EDIT: Fixed url

My life is complete! Very Happy

Not really, but his is probably one of the most adorable and cute guys I have ever seen. Tim needs to have a date. I would so make the trip for that.

I'm so tempted to vote for the cute little girl, because that just made me lol. A lot.

 		Pastor Ludd is not a man of few words.

Summary:
* He needs more people to become one of the 36.
* He provided an article about communication over power lines.
* He would like to hear about important visions or dreams.
Pastor Ludd wrote:
Again, I find myselve weeping at the site of God's plan coming together. Just as PauL came forward, you have reaffimed my faith, my vision and our mission. I am in awe of how perfect is his vision. I would not have went for oranges and browns as a man thinking a mans thoughts, but God had a different plan and now I see how perfectly balanced between robo-intimidaton and stealthiness is your and PauLs great war armor. From a robot perspective, you will appear as a decayed tree trunk or pile of autumn leaves... and then as his secondary scan reveals the outline of your limbs, your horrorble visade will trigger his alert system and cause a moment of confusion that will be extremely advantagous - then he may have seconds to analyze your tools and holy orange robo-organ vessel to realize what exactly the heck is happening up in here... It may not be fear as we know it, but in the robot world, you are the equalivant of that fish that looks like a rock but has a tongue that looks like a worm and you drow them in and SNAP! Maybe your new warrior name will be RockFish.

I would be very greatful to know more about your path that led you here and also any special skills that you may have so that God may reveal your new name to us. Soon, I will then be able to perhaps select you to inspire the others with a public page on the home pages of the church. Please contact PauL and fellowship with him as well. You are now siblings in our quest. What is this quest you ask? What have I blind faithly leaped across the great precipice and commited to? As you know God is really mysteryous and he does things his own way. The truth is that I cannot tell you the complete mission yet as there are only a few details remaining to be revealed. I can tell you that you need to study this:

http://www.newsguide.us/technology/electronics/Amperion-Announces-Station-to-Station-Communications-over-Electric-Utility-Transmission-Lines/

and please study my sermons and onthe road podcats
And you need to contact PauL. If either of you have important visions, please tell them to me immediately. Sometimes a silly dream about like an old very liberal social studies teacher with a chestnut necklace and sleeve patches from junior elementary school may in fact be a message. And now that we are all becoming part of a larger organ of God, we may have things that mean something to one of the others or only be meaningful together. DO not ignore your dreams or visions now taht you have been touched and called in this way. Everything might be important. Heed this.

Soon, our mission will be revealed. Until then, it is now your mission as well and i need your help to gather the 36. They may be rght in front of you. you may meet them at the petro station. Here are some practical questions.

1) what is your location on the globe
2) do you have electrical transmission knowledge
3) Do you have reliable transportation
4) Your shirt is fantastic you obviously could be the uniformer as you have creative prowess - can you make 36 of these in custom sizes if I provide a loom?

 		I'm finally out of school for the summer, and this looks like great fun! It's been a while since I've had time for an ARG.

After I read everything and watched most of the videos, I decided that the best bet was to interact with Pastor Ludd, and maybe even become one of the 36. I sent him this email, under the name "Steven Schwartz":

Quote:
Pastor Ludd!

I watched the first of your videos a few weeks ago. I was certainly impacted, but I was blinded to its importance by my own sloth. Sure, robots were unnatural, but they were so useful that it seemed silly to view them as an abomination.

God has shown me the truth!!!

This morning, after coming home from church I sat down to read the Bible, as I often do. My spirit being weak, I began to drift to sleep. As I dozed, I was given a vision of the Day of Reconfiguration! The horrible images burned in my mind all day, until I remembered your videos. I sat down and watched the rest of them, and I was struck by how blinded I had been! I heard your call at the end of the last video for Godly humans to stand up and fight the perversion, and I knew I had to email you. I know I am still very ignorant, but I need to know what I can do to help fight the abomination that is corrupting our land. I unplugged as many electrical devices as I could today, but I need more information on how to Back-Tech my house so that I can survive without the danger of the Grid. If there is any information you can give me, or anything I can do to help the cause, please let me know!!!

A fellow servant,
Steven Schwartz


We'll see what he has to say.


---EDIT---

Ok, he's already gotten back to me with a rambling email.

Quote:
Steven,

In the world of discipleship, your kind of calling experience is known as the grapeseed. As you know, a grape seed is planted and stays the exact same size for months until it is ready to grow. And when it grows, it suddenly blows up to its full size in 1 day. This is the beauty of God's plan for you... Congratulations on your clarity! some are more murky in their aknowledging of the calling. You, I can sense, have no doubts and are ready to jump into this, the greatest struggle of our times. You will bes ummoned, instructions will be forthcoming and I will share them with you and the rest of the 36 as I get them... as you know the day of reconfiguration is almost at hand. And it is us who will be in place to stop it. We are the only hope for this civilization.. That is the importance of your mission. At the moment, I need you do quickly do several things.. I need a photo of you to inspire this band of warriors... in glorious oranges and browns and with accessories to enhance your intimidation and stealthiness. Don't forget storage for your tools and supplies as you may be required to travel in your city. ANd what is that city? This is crucial as we plan to stop the transmissoin of robo reconfiguration data over the electrical grid systems... permanently. Otherwise, any amount of backteching we do will be pointless as we will still be overwhelmed by conglomoratedevices that will come from every corner of the earth to destroy us... still, it is wise to go through your house and identify the most dangerous devises. - Work with the other disciples closely to develp lists and plans in this regard. If you have ability, video or audio tape of backteching is very helpful and I will shart this information with all out desciples and our webguests. The AOL keyword to find my site is i think godhatesrobots - otherwies you can use the google or go int o your address bars and click. Your profiles will be posted at this page:

http://www.godhatesrobots.org/profiles

Not sure if that is enoughto get you there i have a hotlink in an emal i was given by johnny.

Also, I need information about your path to me, what led you here, specil skill you have and words to inspire others.. This is your charge for now as it is. Thank you for following his will as he pulls us all together. Welcome to the 36. You need a good warroir name that will be revealed by God. Please listen for this. Perhaps your uniform will make this clear.

Keep aware and opened

PNL


He also sent a message to the four current members of the 36. It's addressed to Lysithea, but he CC'd the rest of us.

Quote:
RockFish of the 36 (and the rest of my 36),

May God lead us all as we prepare in these times. I apprecite your detailed answers to my many questions. Firstly, I need a better location than coastal australia so that I can prepare my plan. Can you provide your city? God has told me that your location is necesary to complete his Plan. Details are forthcoming so, in these times where it seems nothing is happening is when the oceans are stirring deeply... we do not always see, but we will see the reveal and I sense it is coming forth. PauL, I also need your city.

I have found something very disturbing evidence that there is a movement to re-tell the story of Chirst to soften us up to robotkind... it is b;asphemous as I have ever seen - to suggest that he was a robot! attached is a copy of the text. See if you can find this robot posing as a human and report back so we can make a plan to stop him! RockFish has acceptional researhcing skills on the google and I think it may be her destiny to be our scholar.

RockFish has reported of a thwarted attempt to send data down the electrical lines. RObots will continue to try this and perfect their system so it is publicly acceptable however, it is ALREADY in PLACE! It will send the encrypted datas to ALL devices on the day of reconfiguration and that is why it is impearitve to back tech household devices that are the most threatening with the most moving parts - especially those that are MOBILE! If you are inspired to, please submit your own backteching info and I will get it out to the congregation on the video tubes or webpages, even on the E-Mails. We could really use a list of the most dangerous houselholed appliances and a priority list to backtech them in order of danger. RockFish, you are very good at finding these devices and as part of the 36, we are now like one large weilding organ that must reach everyone. PLease help me. When you think you have done enough, that is only when you need to work harder... time is VERY SHORT! I do hope that God gives us a Media Warrior who can get us on the news in some way, even if the tactics are questionable. It is too important to argue about those kinds of ethics now. Please continue your outreach in your areas doubly hard now. Weild the holy organ of truth!

RockFish, your crafty hands will be a great asset, I thank you for uncovering these outlets and resources taht may become of use soon. You have clearly been led here through coincidental(NOT) salles of footware and accessories. I am glad you have found your way..

about your vision, well, I am coming up with something around 0, it is not clicking for me. Maybe PauL can see the significance. I do think the Potato could be the truth as it is often used to symbolize in ancient texts. And clearly the child is a threatened robot, but other than that, i am not picking up any instructions. Thank you though for your detail. you never do know, but you will learn to strain out as you exercise your filter as a new disciple. This is ok. When I began I once thought that I saw a design in the bubbles in the toilet that looked like two letters in cursive, but you will come to know that God would not use such a pallette.

I am also going to copy two NEW potential disciples on this missive. Please encourage them, nurture them... we will soon have too many for me to always correspond directly with. But remember that God uses us all. We are flesh and flesh is like a receiveing antenna for his will. open yourself to it and share with each other even the slightest pulls and tugs that you feel. Together, we are one great force that will soon be called upon to stop the day of reconfiguration. This i know. I will reveal details to you as I receive them.

Stay vigalant and alert.

For my new recruits, I will contact you individually soon, but joining the 36 is like jumping into that pot of boiling water.

PNL

 		Pastor Ludd Video Sermon #5.


YouTube: Link

Lugnut "Johnny" has included another gem in this video. It is a template for a pair of 12 sided dice.
The bit.ly page it links to has the angry.jpg that we have seen before in the archive.zip
bit.ly/987654321

In the source there is

some binary, which translates to

close but no cigar, but this is a dead end. take a look at the image, it'll point you in the right direction

Thank you for this information RockFish, you are really really good at working the google. No idea how you find all that stuff. Johnny showed me a site that helps me a lot. http://lmgtfy.com/ i am always typing in the wrong addressng space

Laughing "Johnny" must be getting rather frustrated with Luddy to send him to that url.

 		Phew!

Okay, I'm joining this game extremely late. Bear with me-- I'll probably be confused about somthing or other eventually.

How many disciples does PNL have now, and does he need more? I'm willing to be a double agent.

After a few of us printed out the dice and failed miserably at taping them together successfully, rowan found the solve...

Along with a touching video of Pastor Ludd, we get a message from Johnny in the source code. Once the binary message is decoded, it reads

"i recovered this from ludd's recycling bin this morning as he was editing his latest sermon. He gets so worked up, that he goes off on these wild tangents, but then gets embarrassed and deletes them. Maybe it'll give you a little more insight into the man"
