It looks like we are making quick progress.
Anyone else curious about password #100?

Not quick enough maybe.

Buck: Hope you got a direct flight!?! Status of the TDESDS is looking bad!
Richard: It's direct, but that's pretty much the only good thing. Babies are crying, there is no legroom and I'm stuck with the riffraff!
Buck:I don't care if you have to hijack the plane to get there in time but just get there before it's too late!!!
Richard: I'm trying!! But there's nothing I can do now that I had to settle for this annoyingly slow plane!
It's a race against the clock. *Argh* Tense.
:EDIT: Also, really loving the banter between these two, if there's one thing you've got to give our PM is that (s)he has a good sense of humor.

Yes, really curious! Is it going to fit one of the patterns or be something else entirely? Not far away now.. I'm worried I'll miss it, supposed to be going out tonight
EDIT - also, I just put #97 in the spreadsheet, another weighted graph for someone to take a crack at!

Ok, I thought I was actually doing pretty well with the binary this time. Then he threw in one with only six digits. I tried assuming a zero at the beginning and end and it was sent back as in incorrect solution.
Here's #2 if someone can crack it:

Got it, you have to convert the binary to decimal and take the ASCII equivalent character.

Hey, iamthor. For these questions I have been using this . There is no need for putting zeros or doing it block by block all you have to do is choose binary to ascii and put the binary in and get the letters out. Obviously different conversion methods have different pros and cons but this is just a simple binary translation, so that's the tool I've been using.

Someone on the spreadsheet chat (not sure who ) thought maybe it has something to do with those keys we didn't use - "the fast flying bananas are fast and nobody can catch them"? I sent that phrase in all caps but it's not correct.

Was me. I was just thinking over maybe codewords that we've got and haven't used. It could also be a key-word like detonate or something? Might look in a thesaurus for 10 letter words that mean detonate.
:EDIT:Sent onehundred as that's ten letters and y'know our PM has a sense of humour.
:EDIT: Wasn't onehundred but y'know what else has 10 letters? apocalypse.

It does seem like it might be something to do with the bananas though.. does it have to be 10 characters still I wonder?
EDIT - the email has the same header as all the others saying it should be 10 chars, so I guess we should assume that it is the same.

They're worried. Will this be hint time? I'm assuming that this is the PM's chance to give us a bit of a tug in the right direction so that we can solve this puzzle. We've just got to hope Richard trips up.

I'm pretty sure Richard has decided the key, so we'd have to figure out what he has been thinking.
C'mon Richard, let something slip!
