challenge !

[geepod]

recently i was reading up on crytpography and general encoding etc and stumbled across a little challenge ! it took me 2 hours to work it out, is anyone here quicker ??? i am sure there is !

2,4,6
30,32,34,36
40,42,44,46
50,52,54,56
60,62,64,66

What is the next sequence of numbers and why ?

happy deciphering peeps !

[pysk0tik]

uuuuuuuum........this is the simple way, probably wrong, but 70, 72, 74, 76, cuz at the beginning, there's {0 understood}, 02, 04, 06, then x0, x2, x4, x6, so than could be a logical answer

[pysk0tik]

the above post took me 2 minutes, so it's probably wrong, but.........hey! why not?

[geepod]

sorry miles away but good attempt all the same, i went through all logic processes and quite a few tantrums before i got there !

[Palemoon]

70, 72,74, 76 cause the key is the first sequence and each column is read top to bottom, and what is a peep? Time spent 1 minute.

[geepod]

if the key was the first sequence then the first sequence would be 0,2,4,6 but its not !
it is 2,4,6

think laterally and along the lines of cryptography,encoding etc !111111

[Palemoon]

Humm see .3 then .6 and the first number 2 always goes in = to the next in the sequence. Funny thing then again is my view on the code, maybe more then one answer, time spent 30 seconds, just pattern matching is all :D

[geepod]

wrong again, but good go can see where your coming from but pattern matching aint always the way to go !!!!!
but then is it ?
keep trying

[jethro]

Just to change the subject slightly I found a challenge myself.
The challenge is attached.
If you don't want to know the answer, look away now!

Each three letter combination, eg 120, is split up into the template of 16,4,1 like binary only with these number.
16 | 4 | 1
------------
1 | 2 | 0 = 24.

So that letter is the 24th letter of the alphabet.

[Reality]

Other than pattern matching... hmm

end of line + 4
else +2 would generate the following results
When number adds a place, add number to sequence

2,4,6
10,12,14,16
20,22,24,26
30,32,34,36
40,42,44,46
50,52,54,56
60,62,64,66
70,72,74,76

10 100 110

11110 100000 100010 100100
101000 101010 101100 101110
110010 110100 110110 111000
111100 111110 1000000 1000010
1000110 1001000 1001010 1001100

patterns noticed: in 2's column the on switch rotates each row in eavery set.

Other than that... you've got me. I can't wait to learn the secret :D

[geepod]

sorry but wrong . Good attempt though. the next sequence of numbers is not 70,72,74,76 which alot of people are guessing but far from it actually. Keep trying anyway and i will post answer in a few days when people have got bored with it .

[waytallgel]

Just thought I'd take a guess, is it?
758, 760, 762, 764, 766

Not quite sure how to explain how I got there, has to do with adding one and hashing the number over a decimal place... Not even sure if hash is the right word there....

[geepod]

again a good attempt with some reasoning but still wrong. nice to see people are interested though, keep enjoying.

[ammo]

I'd go with 72, 76, 78, 80, 82
?

here a guess
60,62,64,66

[Ascii555]

That was so obvious, the answer is in pysokotic's post. it took me 3.54 seconds.
you just look at the number pattern from a distance. (believe me im not lying)

Easy. how does it take you two hours, i have a better challenge that i will dig up tommorow. i still havent figured it out

[geepod]

I dont know how it was so obvious as no one has got it right yet !

no wonder it took you 3.54 seconds, it took me 2 hours cos i got it right eventually.

[Ascii555]

are you sure there is no trick to it. is there any alpha keys that we should know of??

[Ascii555]

are you going to post the answer or what, its been weeks

[5150]

yes, he has posted the answer. it is 2000,2002,2004,2006

[coolnads]

why, where how......

[5150]

because if you spell out each number, they all dont contain the letter "e"
