You do realize of course, that once you have succeeded, all of the other Snood Addicts at AO will know that you didn't really get that impossibly high score on your own...

Good Luck!!

P.S. Don't worry, we won't tell... 0

Can you post some more variations? I think I can get it if you'll put a couple more on here. Put a couple of like ones on here, as well, but with different percentages or different scores.

Here ya go:

Score 10 at 30%
00053900-0005340-30021000
14942811-9713011-47314438
28831722-8421782-54607866
32720633-7139453-61990294
46619544-6847124-78283622
64497366-4263566-92869488
78386277-3971237-09152816
82275188-2689908-16445244
96164099-1397679-23738672

Score 30 at 10%
00051900-0005340-30023000
14940811-9713011-47316438
28839722-8421782-54609866
32728633-7139453-61992294

82273188-2689908-16447244
96162099-1397679-23730672

God speed, jehnx.

I know what the variables are already though. I included that information in my first post. The variables are your score, and your percent won in that difficulty. The server checks and makes sure that the verification code is legitimate, so it wouldn't matter what machine I tried it on using what user name.

The variables are only the score & your percent, maybe not.
You cannot understand that without trying using different input for other probable variables.
Yes, this seems to be obvious that the only variables are the score & the percent, but cryptology is not based on obviosity...

these numbers are inert sequences, look at the first digits of each set of 8#s-7#s-8#s

10 Points with 20%

0 8 0 2 2 5 8 8
8 0 8 8 1 1 4
1 8 0 4 3 2 6 2

0 - 8 - 1
0 - 1 and 8

1 2 9 1 1 4 9 9
7 7 9 6 8 8 5
2 5 3 3 6 6 9 0
1 - 7 - 2
1 - 2 and 7

follow down the line
Each set of variables are coded in a sequence of 0-9
By adding the following set, you get the next number:

[+1][+4][+9][+9][+9][+9][+1][+1]
[+9][+7][+1][+8][+7][+7][+1]
[+1][+7][+3][+9][+3][+4][+3][+2]

So what? Well, now we can figure the missing keys in the set for 10pts with 20%:

0: Got it
1: Got it
2: Got it
3: Got it
4: 44688122 - 4820998 - 56205884
5: 58577033 - 3538669 - 63598216
6: Got it
7: Got it
8: Got it
9: 94133777 - 9370443 - 0 ect.

Now we simplify the code key

0XXX[% / 10]XAA - XXAXXXX - XXXXXXXX

Notice how the percent divided by "10" is ALWAYS the 5th digit in the first sequence?
And the 7th and 8th are ALWAYS equal?
Well, I'll continue the rest later, but you get the idea, keep breaking it down, it's barely an algorithm.

But the final solution is going to take a leap of faith of your part…

[cgkanchi]

Stupid question. Why don't you just use a program like ArtMoney Game Cheater at http://download.com.com/3000-2121-93...ml?legacy=cnet to modify the score BEFORE you submit it?

[lordshinmei]

you could just get a decompiler and decompile Snood... then you could just look through the source code until you find the algorithm...

ShinMei:

Do you REALLY want to look through a whole heck lot of uncommented optimized assembly language? That's sort of like taking a CD and looking at it with a microscope to see what it contains.

[Kezil]

It provides many hours (read weeks) of time-consuming fun (read monotony), however.

Then again, I'm probably one of the few here who actually would find that fun, and I don't have time (school, final exams).
