Title: A puzzle for you Post by: GreenSky on May 29, 2011, 10:38:32 PM I think that the following data is some of the most beautiful ever created.
See if you can figure out why. When you figure it out, post some nice proof for everyone. I'll give hints as time goes by. 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000003E0040000600380000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000070040000000

Title: Re: A puzzle for you Post by: GreenSky on May 30, 2011, 10:55:11 PM second hint:
The encoding scheme used on this forum is not base 16. Title: Re: A puzzle for you Post by: TiagoTiago on May 31, 2011, 04:03:26 AM That is not Pi in hexadecimal, right?
Title: Re: A puzzle for you Post by: GreenSky on May 31, 2011, 04:31:28 AM No it's not pi.
third hint (which I assumed was obvious from my first hint): error was 99% of the way there, but may not have used the right method to test his hypothesis I just tested out what I posted, and it is all intact. Title: Re: A puzzle for you Post by: wb3 on May 31, 2011, 04:52:57 AM GreenSky, I think you think it is the most beautiful data ever created because beauty is in the eye/ear of the beholder.
Proofs> Although beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, the feeling of being beautiful exists solely in the mind of the beheld. Martha Beck Read more: http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/keywords/beholder.html#ixzz1Nu0Wf3t1 Beauty is in the heart of the beholder. H. G. Wells Read more: http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/keywords/beholder.html#ixzz1Nu0cfAdv Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart ~ Kahlil Gibran~ and the coup de tate "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." ~Plato ~ So that is why I think you think it is the most beautiful. ;D PS. Want us to solve the puzzle, that obviously will take time and effort. How much BTC are you offering? I am a capitalist. ;D Title: Re: A puzzle for you Post by: TiagoTiago on May 31, 2011, 05:32:23 AM Beauty is an illusion
Title: Re: A puzzle for you Post by: GreenSky on May 31, 2011, 05:46:58 AM fourth hint:
this puzzle requires a hex editor (or some other means to create a raw data file) and software mentioned above. Title: Re: A puzzle for you Post by: error on May 31, 2011, 06:12:35 AM Dunno. I tried a couple of trackers and all I got was silence. Are you sure that file is right? Or maybe it's intended to be silence?
