For a challenge that appears to be so simple a Vice President could do it , I'm amazed it's still unsolved. I saw some braille symbols on an elevator that resembled some of what I saw when messing around but right now my brain needs rest.
"@DaleRoss - you won't be single for long - I hear that hard hat t-shirt is a real chick magnet... (maybe not)"
Decorum,
That's assuming I'm able to crack the code and win the chick magnet. I got a chance to practise my newly obtained perl skills. I even generated a 20 X 6 bitmap in C# using the decimal values of each octet as the red component for each pixel. It was fun and
who knows. Maybe on that long flight to LA tomorrow the answer will just pop into my head.
Rotate one with an apple pie You don't need a PC, Just use your eye. If the bits are aligned, the answer you'll see. Somebody's gonna get it. I hope it's me.
You choose a bit from here, you choose a bit from there,you choose a bit from here and you write code for hours. You do this hokey- pokey after you've turned the bits around. That's what it's all about!!!
Off to bed! All the best to all those who are still on the quest.
Ok I already applied what you did after performing a bitwise operation based on where I saw that | . what you did was applied to each 8bit sequence. Based on Jinx's analysis I'm assuming what you ate "Pie" referred to the type of PSK Modulation that was Wiki'd. I here trying to see if the type of "Pie" (apple) could be of any significance. After trying to use a variation of the method wiki'd I came up
with a new sequence of numbers that are ALL divisible by three. Could just be a mathematical co-incidence that resulted from the operations performed but could it mean something? Anyhow I've divided by 3 and still nothing of significance.
If you're on the right track then I should probably give up. I've generated images, stared at the output for a few hours in total, NOTTED the output since he said all the clues we've given or NOT given you and I'm still yet to see anything. Why did I
not do a degree in Math .
One more night....It shall be revealed! The positions of those zeros must mean something, it must!!!
Quite a bit of the numbers are divisible by 3 as well. What does that mean to me? NOTHING
If all goes well I'll be seeing you all too. I'm so excited.

Doubt it is but worth a shot.

CEREAL/SERIAL?? APPLE??? PIE/PI?? ROTATE ONE???? |
