Although the 50s don't all now have double letters next to each other, they do all have at least some duplication - there aren't any strings which have all unique characters. But I suppose it might be irrelevant - I'm not sure what bearing that would have on a solve.
Feel like we might be missing something simple, but I don't know what!

Got a duplicate one then got #11 activated . Beth has an interesting blog post; Richard & Buck have an alarming twitter convo. **crossing fingers that Buck's idea of "urgent" is he forgot to pack his favorite designer windbreaker**

That alarming Twitter convo... Buck:

@Ricexal Just noticed something ALARMING!!! How far away from the office are you?
Richard:

@bplentier What?? I'm still at the safari. Haven't got any rhino horns yet. What's so urgent?
Buck:

@Ricexal Check the TDESDS status and go back ASAP! I just turned back myself but I'm sailing at the Atlantic and there's no wind.
Richard:
Quote:
@bplentier ARGH! Who is doing that and how is that even possible? I'll take the next plane back and stop that! Rhino horns have to wait...
Uh-oh! We better speed up!
EDIT:Got #91 & put it in the SS, weighted graphs aren't my strong point, can anyone solve it?

Sequoya, you are TEH total-package-solver and, no worries, #91 is now activated (AKFLHIJDEX). Also, Beth contacted Hubert about hacking into the TDSDS.
Beth in a DM tweet wrote:
No, Hubert said that it's impossible to hack the system even for him ...However he said that: "You can easily go around the time delay by using anonymous temp email addresses."

Thanks amandel! There are also two other unsolved graph ones on the spreadsheet if anyone wants to take a look at those - 95 and 98.
I'm trying to find a temporary mail address site that will also let me send emails from it.. don't really want to create lots of new email accounts!
EDIT - https://www.guerrillamail.com looks like a good bet if anyone wants to try this as well.
(yeah, guess this doesn't actually work).

Yeah, I've tried it already, but it's not really working for me.

Likewise. It was the first one I tried but it's been 15 minutes or so and no activation key.

I got key #8 and apparently I don't know how to solve the binary ones. If someone would like to help:

Done iamthor - if you're using an online decoder, you can either decode each block separately, or just put a '0' in front of each block and that works as a whole string. The latter is probably quickest

#95 and #98 (AKGFHJEICX) activated . For the binary above pls try "weYGPzLIaX", iamthor.

We're nearly 3/4 of the way activated. Damn those 50s! What are they??

Someone seems to be figuring them out now, however I don't know who or how but thank God we're getting somewhere.
:Edit: Thank you, iamthor. Brilliant solve.

I figured it out. It was just sorting them alphabetically. So 59, for example, would be efllopwwyz. Sent them all in and activated them.

Awesome! Great solve, iamthor! Now we can in theory solve them all, I will get emailing as most of my 6 hour windows are up on my emails

Maybe my solve of the 50s makes up for the fact that I still can't get the binary ones. I've tried adding 0s, etc.
Help please on #3:
