Digit CTC - III Discussion Thread!

Dust yourself off... it's time for CTC - III !

Incentives - Amkette Flash TV HD, Wireless Desktop Combo, All in one cleaning kit and Air Wireless Mouse!

Let's put our brains to some exercise !

Eagerly waiting for the June edition!

Ctc 3! Nice

hope it isnt as hard as the last game.

Waiting for the issue...hope you guys will help me if I'm stuck somewhere

umm...what is ctc?

CTC= Crack The Code.
Its a game where you have to follow clues in the mags, dvds, net, etc so you complete it.

There are prizes for completing it.

btw, all clues are in digit itself

Hmm..was gonna buy this month's digit (yeah..lol, ikr) but gonna skip it over to next month's to save the extra bucks for the special edition (with extra special value

).

good good. :-D

Missed the first 2 CTC. Looking forward to this one.

huh....
CTC is back.........

R

yeah finally ctc is back :twisted:

.....was looking forward to it for a long time

:C_ninja:

N

Nice but not sure whether I will get time 2 complete it :-(

I am a enthusiastic participant of CTC I. Had to leave it mid way because of some unforeseen reasons. And couldn't participated in CTC II due to exams. Funny thing is I have exams in June too, but I NOT gonna miss this time. :-D

PS: 3 is my lucky number too! :))

^ Even I missed both the CTCs. I left CTC II in the midway and i was totally unaware of CTC I.

I am ready as well...

Sorry for reposting....I did by mistake as I didn't see the page 2...

ViRaNiAc! said:
@ kunal.d

kunal, Utkarsh please help guys I am totally wrapped up on the droid clue. Just give one Hint

u jus have to digitize ur ans
eg if ur ans is "abc"

then for a=1
b=2
c=3

ur ans will be "123"
then to it add ur page number. Lets say ur page number is "1"

so add it to ur ans i.e, 123+1=124
so 124 is ur ans

yea! got the piano one! finally!

Achuth said:

just look at your keyboard and think like you're seeing it for the first time. What do you feel is the most random or senseless about the keyboards(which in actual is not)...just think about it ...this is the best hint you can get. :smile:

when you get through tell me whther this was useful or not!!!

I am @ checkpoint! Oh yeah!

Hi
Need some help on the picture clue for LCD AOC e2043Fsk.....unable to figure the movie....have the rest....please help...tks

for those who get stuck on the piano riddle, don't play it using mouse.

A

guys can you give me a hint to better understand the factorials clue. i havent heard of factorials before and i cant make out how to ascertain the number whose factorial is close to the number mentioned in mag.

any building block typ hints would be great. i dont want a straight answer.

A factorial(n) = n*(n-1)*(n-2)*....*2*1

A

sheesh give it in simple english na, i have to find some unknown numbers factorial near a mentioned number how will that help me?

In simple words or example.
fact(3) = 3*2*1
fact(2) = 2*1
fact(4)= 4*3*2*1
use the same to calculate for rest of numbers see which result is closest to the value in the clue.

Could you elaborate a bit please. Tried substituting different alphabets, using my idea of how keyboards should be. Did not get anything I could make sense of.

Help Help!

you most probably tried the right thing. if you cant any clue from the code, try its exact inverse.( if x1 is the key on the normal keyboard and you substituted it for x2, then try substituing all x2 in the code for x1) hope u get it :-o

Aren't we being to open with answers & hints here?

A humble request...

Before asking for hints, spend some time on the clue! Don't reveal out half of the answers in your queries!

could anyone help me with my factorial of 81 clue? :cry:

@thetechfreak

You don't need the factorial of 81.
You need a number whose factorial is nearest to 81

So what is the answer I have no ideas about factorials

Google it!

Answers seems to come in negative

still working on it..

@thetechfreak
check my previous post or wikipedia to know about factorials

Help needed,
In LCD test clue I have figured out the movies. Know clue says that it should be in some sequence. What is the sequence. I trien in order they are displayed, shown in the table or the graph with no success.

Please give some hint.

Check pm ^^

Now stuck in the Droid clue

Kunal, please give some hint about the sequence. also check your pm.

For those who get stuck in the droid clue, You probably have the answer but adding the wrong value.

@ViraNiAc! - just try to think whats the most abvious defect in ur keyboard......i think someone already gave this clue....u know.....the keyboard will seem strange to a nursery kid - another clue

@ViraNiAc! - where in the magazine can we find the name of the movies if we have not seen them or their poster....i did reverse image search only

A

@harsh
check the top of the lcd monitor test page

Thanks all for your help. Finally reached the checkpoint. The problem was I was expecting some thing related to computers. Thats why in most of the clues I became clueless.

Now I think I can finally study for my exam. May be I am going to screw it.

A

@mayank
try using a custom keyboard layout

D

Finally at the checkpoint !!

@aspire I had done the conversion using a small python script.

i googled but couldn't find a thing which did the job, so i used microsoft's way

, learn to use the spoiler tags people! use

when giving hints

and /SPOILER (on square brackets) to end

and dont copy paste direct clues

Simple!!! You guys stop giving clues/answers unless they mend their posts.

@aspire:

How will Spoiler Help? Everyone can read what's in a spoiler!

A

it's your choice, whether you want to read it or not

if people are posting hints to clues you haven't even reached yet, it is gonna take the fun out of CTC......
so it does help in a way.....

digit late as always

@aspire:

I can understand your frustration, those waiting for the clues always wait for the clues, they won't think much for solving the clue. In short...they'll always wait for someone else to solve it first and give them answers, So rest assured you'll solve ahead of them, keep your calm and concentrate on the next clue

A small suggestion to those helping out in PM's, posts etc, give them hints to solve the clues, not direct answers via PM. You are spoiling the entire theme of the game. What's the fun in playing that way??

why digit is always late! :hissyfit:

i made an account just for this and no clue yet
48 minutes late :banghead:

I think Digit follows another Time Zone

Yes, it is one word answer, just connect your decoded words and get a final answer

they are different words
look out for any words you recognize, if you cant see a proper word soon
try decoding again

maybe you decoded it wrong

Sancs16 said:
@Sriharsha: hey i joined the decoded words into one word bt nt working... help plzzzzzzzz...

If you decoded them correctly then it's very easy to guess the answer. Check your decoded words again. Can't reveal more :meditate:

We were contemplating postponing it since lots of people still haven't got their copies. But boss says go ahead, so uploading next clues in some time

@Sancs16 : You've got enough of hints! This one's quite simple! If you've decoded it correctly, it won't take you more than 2 seconds to guess the correct answer...

S

* moderator edit *

No revealing of answers. You can give out hints if you want to.

You can always use the PM feature if you need **more** help from someone.

Again! Again! Again!

You are such a....

can't you spend some time on it! Can't you check properly? You need to be spoon fed! You want hint for each and everything! Go ahead, post all the answers!

CTC is not for you! Please go back! You are spoiling the fun of entire CTC!

I am totally frustrated!

@Sancs16-- what the hell are you doing ,just spoiling the CTC..
Just please leave CTC now so that others can try out their own brain , not like u just asking for spoon feed answers ....
I am sorry to use these types of words but please its our request/warning please leave the game..

@ Sancs16: To think, you need brain!

@kunal-- well said for this guy.

I've been asking a mod to keep an eye on this thread since few days! He's not at all concerned!

When I asked, staticsid.. he showed some concern!

Sancs16 said:

The moment you do that, you get a holiday from the forum and CTC - III. This is a discussion thread. You can ask for hints and give out hints. Not answers. Use the private message system if you need something *more* than help. Please don't spoil the game for others.

@cyber just digitise the correct droid and for the final answer read the magzine wth open mind.

Ps: Just think of all the pages u visited in reaching here...

I got the word but can't get the url.

Got it confirmed by someone who has completed this. He says my answer is partly correct.

how do i digitize - ?

Tried its pronunciation too. Still no luck. Its happening the same way it happened with me in CTC 1, backdoor in leetspeak could have so many variations.
BTW i've been trying with ctcIII. is it something else?

@ishu - check your PM please

digitized means coverting alphabets into numbers

Then don't go with my hints, Did I ask you to follow those?? Did I ask me to PM me & beg for answers?? Did I?

What if I did go through to next question and bluffing here to avoid Pm's?? Then again I'll get a PM from you in a different tone. It's of no use giving hints here, Won't make that mistake again.

Where the hell did I say I've done it, quote the post If I did so. I got the connect and I told the same before you guys flooded me with PM's and I told everyone the same that I'm stuck at the same point didn't I??

If that is the case, then follow your own game and don't ask me anything, don't believe in my hints either. There will always be someone or the other to mislead you

just as i said here we dont tend to mislead others........................... just like i said u clearly stated that the answer was "obvious" and was "staring at you" all these clearly state being done with it ....i dont think any1 else other than u will disagree wid me on this.

Can't say for sure. Tried a few things, didn't work.

yaar yay clue he ki glue hai chipak hi gaya ye to.

@staticid or any other digit guys,

Is fb clue an actual clue or you guys are just trying to fool us till everybody get their copy?

@digit readers.
does anybody get the meaning of the clue? I even opened the file into hex editor. Got nothing. The only thing that appear suspicious to me is the damaged bottom part of letter "d" in the image. What do you think?

J

personally i feel that digit guys left too much to imagination and thought in this image clue... How come no one is arriving at an answer...when we have some of the best minds working here... Well, it's hard to imagine...what do you say?

after trying millions of combinations in tht FB clue ..
still stuck ...

Did any1 check whether its a stega....ph or not?I cant do it bcoz i am away from home usiong just my cellphone for this. Please check this too and if sumthings there please inform me and the others too...We need to wrk together on this 1.

A

@ViRaNiAc!
Sounds like a good theory
Maybe they are just delaying the CTC by not opening the link yet

@clinton
there's nothing in stega

there cant be any data in stega either as image is on fb, which means this is not the file that digit uploaded, just a copy of that

@aspire
nice analysis about steganography. But, Isn't the steganography works by making changes oin the image pixels. That means if the image is of same size that digit guys has and if facebook make pixel by pixel copy of the image, then probably it has the data.

Just some theory. Correct me if I am wrong.

A

idk, maybe you're right

Got in just now... Thanks guys for the help with the clues! :-o

Stuck with the special edition image clue... :cryeyesout:

any hints guys??

A

pm me the link and i may be able to give a hint coz i dont remember

@marker
Check PM

@Aspire
Thanks! Was doing the wrong search.:C_lol:

@marker what special edition clue? I don't remember a clue like that.

A

the image with the text edited out

Ya now i remember. That was easy.

X

From FB :

Sri Harsha Madineni : No need of a High resolution image, the answer is staring at you

If you solved the previous clue yourself, then its just a matter of minutes

Okay.......
That basically means that it has to do with either what's written or what's behind it.

A

He hasn't actually solved it yet, so it's a sort of theory on which i 100% agree with him.

Hey, where are the digit guys? Can't they see that we all are stuck on the same clue?

@clinton I tried that on the first place.
By the way remove those letters. That can easily result into a spoiler for previous clue

hey karan RB.. i m still stuck at the third online clue.. cant figure out the clue in the notes.. help me out.. :'(

@mukul You just need to play it. Check some previous threads on page 5,6,7( I think, I don't remember when I posted it).

imagehide

staring at that image! :blank:

A

leave the image in a room with jaskanwar and cilus it will definitely surrender.

I am not sure, but there might be a messge hidden using jphide. I ran a scan with stegdetect and it shows a line of output about jphide. When trying to open with jpseek it asks for passphrase.

It is also possible that stegdetect might have crashed. thats why I am not sure.

May be it has got something to do with gradient type...

A

@ViRaNiAc!
I Checked that out. It asked for a passphase even when i opened any picture.

@viraniac: I don't think we need to go so deep..

@kunal.d
Well right now we are going nowhere, are we?

@aspire- i think u r correct .. nothing seems to be hidden in the image

A

tell me one thing if we convert the jpeg to 24 bit bmp will it still retain the secret?

coz if it does we could enhance its LSB and the pixels would then reveal a pattern.

jpseek didnt open it on my system give me the link to stegdetect u used.

if nothing is hidden then its deffinately a gradient or something related to vector apps.

Seems no one is able to crack that fb clue... need more hint from digit guys.

X

I think we are all trying in the wrong direction.
Hint says look literally/literary. Basically means that they want us to look at what is written/shown in the image.

Although the exact next line could mean that something is hidden in the image...

errrrr...anyone wanna help me via PM with the Droid clue? Havent tried since 2 days,,,,,,bored

JUST A GUESS - I think the name in the image is itself suggesting us to convert something into another as we had done previously..

A

chech the attachment for a better resolution image (scanned from the digit may 2011 issue)

A

@harshit
AFAIK, the name is something given by facebook, we don't have any control over it

Aspire said:
@harshit

Correct.

I was thinking may be the answer is IN the may issue. If anyone has the May issue may be he can check for something related to the last clue.

A

i think the lower green part is an image thats been masked to create the tiltle what do u guys think?

maybe we need to find the name of that grassy image.

For Droid clur I know it is C*** or like this...when i put answer there is no clue...

tried infinite answers

A

@techfreak
please remove the answer from your post

@aspire-- check PM

Removed, but still need help. Infinite ammount of digitising hasnt helped :cry:

A

what grassy image?

A

lol aspire apni high res version post ko khud bhi dekho the lower green in digit appears to be a grassy hill image.

A

lol aby, there's no need to go so deep.....

FBI ne CTC design nahi kiya, Digit walon ne kiya hai

A

mat mano meri baat dekh le lena the answer wud be somehow related to vector or publication programs.

A

idk, you could try looking that up
i'm tired of this..............

@digit readers.
Well This time I am confirmed that the image has some data hidden using jphide. I ran stegdetect with different options. For all other steganography software it shows negative accept jphide. You can confirm this.

@staticid or any other digit guy.
Can you give some hint about password.

@aspire
do you still have the two strings that i sent you for the clue before checkpoint. PM me back if you have.

A

@VIRAN
try running any picture you posess through jphide, it is gonna ask you for a passphrase.
when you enter ANY passphrase, it is gonna ask you a location to save the hidden data.
When you select the place, it is gonna anounce passphrase wrong
(even when there is no data hidden)
Trust Me, I have tested this out thrice

the HKO clue?

Wish I was at home so that i also could have tried all this.But here I a sitting in my hostel with just my cellphone. :C
The 1 who cracks please have pity on us and help us...Technology tumhara bhala karega.!!

X

Maybe we should ask Chuck then. See if he flashes XD

You didn't understood Aspire. I never told you to check with jphide. I told you to confirm with stegdetect. The functioning of jphide/jpseek is such that it will always assume that there is a messge hidden in the image. So it will surely ask for passphrase each time. After processing the passphrase when it tries to check the file signature, that will result into error. This is going to be true even if I mage don't have data.

You can confirm that image has data using steganography by using stegdetect.

A

ok, i'll do that

The pic was uploaded on Facebook so there cant be any message hidden "In" the pic...whatever is there it'll be On the pic

A

i'm really bored though....... gonna play a classic game and refresh old memories

Hey guys it is not necessary that this clue is related to the previous one.it is required so that only the ones reached the checkpoint can crack it.

The image on fb has some black line under the d, so its slightly different from the may edition. Kept thinking and trying out different answers yesterday till 1. I even tried the previous answers greener counterpart

but it didn't work

The black line under d is the effect of excessive data hiding.

@staticid or raabo
Can you guys atleast pm me to confirm I am on the right track or you guys are going to keep sleeping while your readers are sleepless?

Won't DIgit help us

@ViRaNiAc! i still think that you need not go so much deep!!! Avoid!! Otherwise, you'll bang your head later on...

Seems the people on fb are just claiming to have solved it. If you have and are reading this please post a hint here.

Cybertonic said:

Most of them haven't got there mag.
They THINK they have solved it.

Except Sri Harsha.

A

Viraniac could be right, i did the test with another picture in which i hid some text using jphide and it gives the same results as the clue pic.

@kunal.d
Download stegdetect 0.4. Its available for windows (though commandline). then try this

stegdetect -t oi <imageFileName>
and
stegdetect -t p <imageFileName>

first one will result negative
second one will have line ending with "jphide(***)"

Go confirm it.

I confirmed it with version 0.6 on linux too.

The only thing I need now is a hint about password. I tried the strings from previous clue, but it is not working.

When ever you upload a pic on fb..its Originality is gone...its resolution is changed, its name is changed and everythig.
so basically you wont find anything "hidden" in the code...i can bet !

@clinton
it doesn't matter where the blacklines are. Those black lines confirm the use of steganography.

This is the first time the digit guys posted clue that is near to what I always wanted to ctc to be about.

A

IIRC there was a clue about stego earlier

@tejas
A jpeg is a bitmap.
so if the duplicate image has the same size and same resolution, then it will have same bitmap. The steganography works by changing the bit value of pixel. so same bitmap will have same info hidden.

Aspire said:

whats the clue? pm me

Ok tell me how to use/run stegdetect

can you post a screenshot please...it'd become easy for all of us

A

in a previous CTC

on windows, first start command prompt, then cd to the directory
run stegdetect and use the readme file for commands

@aspire pm me about what clue you are talking about

@tejas
stegdetect is a command line tool. Google for it, download it and then confirm it using what i posted before

Aspire said:

The Readme file is not even txt

I am going to be offline for sometime.

This one is sucking the life outta me! HELP!

@Tejas
Open it in notepad or rename it to txt. It will probably work.

The previous answer + current answer is the page for the next clue.

Page, uh?

kunal.d said:
Page, uh?

Must be web page

boooohooooooooO!

I tried bruteforcing it using stegbreak with the wordlist consist of the strings from previous clue. No success.

Where the hell are digit guys?

Wht the

!
Its so irritating ..!

guys....there is no steg...i imported multiple files in steg checking utility which was posted here....in edited (PS or paint) pics it often showed a false positive....no reliability.....plus the digit people would not use such a finicky method...just think of it yaar....so many ways to go wrong if you use steg

J

those who are trying to crack the image in whatever way possible, I don't know what and what. But I can bet you that digit guys would never give a clue that would require so deep computer knowledge. Their clues are generally IQ based or a little basic computer work.
They can't give something that is not known to a common man.
you guys are wasting your time cracking that image by using whatever tools.

We really need digit guys to give some clues now. But it seems like those guys are enjoying their weekend while we are wasting ours.

I am going to quit for now. Will return back tomorrow and see, if digit guys gave some clue.

2 days holidays i guess ... 2nd saturday nd sunday ..

maaan i m sooo :pullhair:

Looks like we are getting a new clue so it won't be problem if I share these I guess. A lot of them PM'ed me about the answer and stuff?? Someone of you even speculated rocket science encryption behind this, but looks like none of you thought about a few alternatives as well, like full name of Mr. Puzo for eg(Dir, Godfather) or literary point of view Mr. Vargas Llosa.

yeah me tooo .. please reveal the answer for the FB clue if the clue changes...

Use google to get the required word. Then replace letters with the corresponding numbers. Then add to that the page number you "came from".

I worked on ctc-1, cleared two ckeckpoints but then I got stuck.
The clue was a image in which there was a man under the hood of a car.
I couldn't figure it out.
Anybody who went beyond that point, please tell me the answer to that clue.
I know it's weird asking it when we are in the middle of ctc-3, but guess we have nothing else to do till monday afternoon.
Thank you !

U need to see the source code of the page and search for clue.

any one solved the fb clue...? if yes, plz help....

@all - lets be more understanding towards sriharsha_madineni and not disrupt our unity....it is after all beneficial for all :razz:

i think he did not meant to mislead us

@sriharsha_madineni - from the tone of your earlier posts (the ones right after the clue came online) it seemed you had got the answer and were already past the clue....and then everybody started trying all sorts of luigi + ***** related combinations because of your reference to colour.....which we now know was perhaps not the right direction as somebody would have got the answer if it was.....no offence but you should have perhaps specified that it was only a theory :smile:

@saras...check the earlier post by staticsid...we are getting a new clue....enjoy ur sunday till then!!

The brute force is not practical for the riddle but it can b used for a later clue..

I am doing that ATM.

The following is my deduction. Could be wrong.
It's not a dictionary word. Actually its not a single word.
I found the last 5 letters of the password. (from HauntedGuy)
Then I created a wordlist and have checked upto 10 letters. No luck.

P

IF the thing on top of the picture is what we think it is then it will require character spacing to decode. Any ideas??

Even I think that it "You-Know-What".
HauntedGuy tried to guess the position of spaces and e was able to get the last 5 letters. Now I'm trying to get the password by brute-forcing.

No

R

solved the zip!!!!!!!11

fd 8 ...it is degree or no of spaces one has to take

P

nope still stuck on it! so there are 2 options, either we brute force our way into the file which could take years (considering the fact that Digit would protect it with something like 128-bit or more encryption) or we could try and work on the code on top which has no spaces in it so will have a large number of possible permutations which is about as impossible to crack as the password. So what do we do?

WHAT!!! how?

@rohan
no, of characters please.

I am on 7 chars in brute force attack

fd 8 ...it is degree or no of spaces one has to take

fd 8 is the number of spaces. only numbers in front of turns is in degrees. rt 90 means a 90 degree turn to the right

dude the problem with that code is that the number of units per character are not fixed, so you won't be able to tell the total number of characters in that code!

hey rohan can you pm me the hint too please?

@technoankur read the clue again. It contains the name of a regular digit section. Remember the magazine is a fliptop magazine

Guys help me with the zip one. Tried decoding morse code to do dictionary attack. No result.

@staticsid Whats the use of the morse code in the image?

T

Well...I got the answer and the page number too...!
Bt stuck on the link code !! Trying an digitizing the droid name !! Anyone help me out !

@piyush the script has a bug. Improved script generated 233k passwords. This time I cross checked, there are no bugs this time. The morse code is not the password.

@piyush do you have a clue about password of the zip?

@royal.tarun will you stop filling up the forum with junk?

is the final answer to the crossword a single word or more than that.

Not playing.

@debu90 can you tell me the heading of the clues that lead you to the check point. I have gone both in the loop and the other road.

@technoankur check ur pm

@ico have you reached the checkpoint already or not playing at all

@debu90, I got through both roads, one stops at a classic poem's beginning lines and the other on a secret code, a pass for a zip file, Help me!

D

@viraniac: the bold letters and rag man-- do what u did in the crosswords

the first thing that comes to your mind is the ans

@siddhartthtech what classic poem?

@debu90 I am stuck at the zip clue. I am thinking to try the other way but that leaded me to a loop. So I wanted you how you succeeded to get to checkpoint through the loop

@Viraniac the road not taken by Robert Frost

Stuck on Clue II:
My calculations led to 105/4. Need a hint please.

@siddharthtech robert frost?

@sysgeek read the clue again

D

@viraniac: it won't lead to ny loop...directly to 2nd chkpoint
at least i reached dat way

@debu90 you got to check point through addition, mouse, google, microsoft, etc. Can you tell just the exact way you go?

What are the subsections of Sci-Tech??
I got worldview and space age. Any more?

If you want I'll make the morse and post here?

@ishu gupta please do it. I have the script to decode the morse code. so you can also remove the spaces if you want.

thnx to all!

How do i use the code? Do i need any python software for it? I saved it with .py and used command prompt to run it but it shows the open with window.

@saras For others to start on the starting point of next leg

erroneous cross word, wrong morse code... oops... a part of the game?

@saras morsecode is still wrong!

Also they tried to rectify the mistakes on my request. This proves it is not part of the game.

it seems most of the people here are not willing to crack for themselves... either they want multiple hints or the direct answers... my pm is getting flooded... try urself also guys...

Can any1 pm me or tell me which is the loop clue. Is it the 2 roads diverged one? If yes how? I'm already at the checkpoint.

any hints for cracking the zip password???

Solve the morse code (even partially works) and/or brute force it. The cheat sheet helps. You can also use the program made by Viraniac.

which morse code???

@tarun, dude you should really look through the previous posts and try something yourself instead of asking for hints for every clue. Lots of them have already been given.

Which clue are you really on that you don't even know about the morse code?

how to use brute forse???
please help

Google it

I can't tell you everything.

craxck mors code now on
Wow you are on a roll aren't ya!

whts this??
any hint??

@suyog33 Sorry I was offline so I am replying so late. To use the script, you need python 2.x that you can download from python.org.

To use the script, copy it in a file (e.g. code.py) and run the following in the command prompt.

path\to\python.exe code.py >dict.txt

This will make a file name dict.txt that you can use to crack the password of the zip using dictionary attacks by using tools like picozip rt.

Plz Some Hint..

@royal.tarun That is a clue that make this forum this big. So read the forum it has everything you need. And fro god sake, either use your brain or stop playing ctc. We are not here to solve each and every clue for you.

Got stuck..Trying hard

ok can someone hint me about the answer that takes us to "and the road less travelled by.."

and i also need the hint to this lines answer.

i am at classic riddle so wanted to try out the short path untill i figure the current one out.

@ViRaNiAc! i only got stuck at 3 clues....the crossword,the classic riddle,and zip password......

but I remember you asking help for almost every clue. After me you was taking help from criztle and others.

those were all crosswords.....and i was just confirming 2 or 3.....

Wow. This sounds like fun. I wish I was a part of it.

@rohit dude check the date before replying

@roayl_tarun: lots of hints available for the zip password in last few forums... check it out... more than that... nothing can be revealed... (you will send pm but wont accept pm... biased?)

i am bored... why delay in ctc III 3rd phase... DIGIT.... why split up the CTC..? the entire enthusiasm is coming down...

It seems they edited the Code. Is it correct now ?

Can anyone give me a clue about this one
Go play these notes here - G C#1 D#1 D1 C G# and figure out the the answer, which will go here - www.thinkdigit.com/ctcIII/answer.html

Am not good at playing keyboard

Solved

at laaaaaaaaaaaaaaast, DIGIT team came with the correct morse code... but it is easy now... correct code.... pause b/n words.... lucky followers.... we cracked the wrong code to correct clue with out any hint....

unfair!!

Guys, don't be so sore for uploading right image. Even with wrong image, people was solving the clue. Now it will be easy for people like me. If Ishu hadn't helped me that time by telling the morse code was wrong, I wouldn't had solved it and hence wouldn't be able to make that program that helped others. Now people can bruteforce it, there way too.

Thats why I complained staticsid twice and made him correct it for the sake of others.

Good to know that the code is correct now and I am stuck and trying hard...

Hey the checkpoint says "for the race to finish"
i didn't wanted ctc to end soon.....

i am not sore for uploading right image... i am sore for uploading a wrong image initially and making our brains to boil while solving... :-o

guys... you have any idea what is the answer for the fb clue? i think knowing the answer after these long will not spoil the spirit of CTC... does that fb clue have any answer or some thing went terribly wrong... clarify somebody........

try again with a slight change.. it should work, i suppose you are doing it wrong with the 3rd and 4th one because one of them comes in the left column which might make you think that it should come first instead of the one which is on the right but at the top of the page..

the letter g looking like 9 is there in the logo for years. what i thought was... you can find some cloud like images at the bottom of the pic behind digit. so i thought that the clue might be cloud9 or cloud9ide like that.... but none of them worked... any one tried or interpreted the image in a different way?

@markerOne.....the numpad clue is the easiest of all.......just think what those lines and dots cud mean??? hint

u need 2 more things other the numpad page itself to get the answer.....!!!

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhh....Last but not the least got to the checkpoint.....spent 1.5 days on morse code...... tired now....

Please avoid asking for the same thing repeatedly and please please go through previous pages. There is no point in posting the same thing 15-20 times.

Finally reached checkpoint yesterday. and got time now to post this reply.

Thanks everyone who replied to my PMs and helped me.

Is the first across, toolbag?

Don't worry, won't disappoint.

Off topic - I was just thinking a while back, maybe CTC deserves a Wikipedia page

What say guys ?

Well I don't think that you should add a wikipedia page for it. There are much better versions of ctc played all over the globe. Crack the code and capture the flag are major attraction in the hackercon, tech communities and tech shows.

For example, famous hack show "hak5" also have the game crack the code contest (they call it ccc), which features live gaming where the players have to try to crack and get the answer by hacking into the box. Some even try to hack others' boxes to make it difficult for other contestants

Yes i know of these. I also have played several levels of notpron ages ago. I also know of other cross over ARGs being played around the globe. Just figured since Digit has a wiki page that mentions even the webinars we used to do, then why not a mention of this. Never mind, just a thought smartypants...

Don't take that on heart, staticsid. I was just giving my opinion. You can, ofcourse, make a wikipage for it. But, in my opinion, the ctc contest must be a bit more technical rather than being just an online version of traditional treasure hunt game.

I really liked your inclusion of morse code clue which include bruteforcing code to guess the password. That was cool. But when you take a look on the other clues, it is not up to the mark. Even you guys made mistakes twice in the clues and once included a meaningless clue. These type of mistakes must not be there.

By the way, thanks for calling me smartypants. I think after reading your magazine for almost 10 years, I deserve it. But, I guess, I don't want to be that smart anymore. Thats why, now I am only buying this magazine ones or twice an year. There are much better magazines available, after all.

H

so...any news on at what time the cracking resumes tomorrow?
don't wanna be late...

@viraniac which magazines are better than digit?

@royal.tarun There are several magazines.check your news stand and google for them. There are lot of other magazines, podcasts and forum that you can read.

For digit guys, I liked the magazine the way it was two years ago. That time the level of the magazine is intermediate. That made me learn more turn me from a noob to more tech savvy as I can always go and search for terms that I don't know on the internet. But now it has become so noob friendly that I am not getting fun reading it. Now I only buy digit for the contests or if I feel that the fasttrack deserves reading it.

A

@royal and viraniac.....u r all violating the forum rules.....read them....u r not allowed to discuss abt hacking and other magazines here......kindly pay attention to it....and ya, the morse code was an easy deal...there is no use of brute force at all to get it...

Need some detailed hints with crossword, I'm seriously sick of googling each word, trying crossword solvers, but to no avail. Damn frustrating! This proves my lack of vocabulary.

@Viraniac: Hacki9 available in Digital Edition?

@aakashanuj.iitkgp You are telling that because now they have made it too easy. When I reached there, the code was wrong. Also there was no hints available and there was no word seperater in the image.

@sygeek yes, but it seems I can't talk about it as pointed by aakashanuj.

I don't think that's a hacking magazine. Please don't refer to the "hacking" term used by media. It's actually a security magazine.

Back on topic, Someone help me with the crossword.

Across - 1, 11, 13
Down - 1, 3, 5, 11

@sygeek can you define hacking for me?

@sygeek 1 across - literally mix the loot.
1 down - what do you call computer experts.

For full answers check the digit issues.

J

@virus maniac- If you really think that Digit's crack the code contest is but a normal treasure hunt game then you better give up on it. Don't take me wrong, but you seem to be very much obsessed with the contest, you don't even acknowledge.
and about you mentioning to make it a bit more technical, well, the point of this contest is that every Digit reader may compete. And believe me, every Digit reader is not a geek.

@statiscid- you people are doing a great job.

Sorry for going off-topic but here's a better definition - How To Become A Hacker. For the love of God, please don't confuse this term with "cracking"! But I guess you know this already.

I am playing the game because I am getting bored as my summer vacations are going on. I am not obsessed about it. Though it sometime give me chance to make programs. I made monoalphabetic substitution cipher decode program for keyboard clue and bruteforce program for morse code.

I know that not all the readers are geek. but don't you think if the clues won't be about some movies or cricketer, people will learn something while having fun. For example, consider morse code clue, If a guy wants to learn about tech than he will check wikipedia or other site to learn about morse code and then decode it to test his/her skills.

But what are we having here? Half of the forum is full with help requests. I got caught on non tech clues and wrong clues. May be others too. If it would be tech releated we would have searched google for the thing and learnt something new like I did last time when they gave a clue about whitespace programming.

@sygeek yup I do. For me hacking means to get as much knowledge as we can like what kevin mitnick thinks abt it. Also it also means to get 100% from what I have.

my point is if they make it more technical then normal people with brains can't compete and only those who have learnt atleast half a dozen languages will stand a chance.

@viraniac- i too agree wid u at this point. we buy mag to learn new tech things & we participate in ctc to gain tech knowledge & not to gain knowledge abt cricket. Bt in ctc even students participate who r not as good coders as u so everytime coders will win & thats unfair. Bt i believe dat ctc should be 90% tech & 10% other things as well.

Still need help with crossword, found a couple of answers in the Digit contents itself. But the others mentioned above are annoying the hell of out of me. I don't mean to be spoon-feeded but a detailed hint as an explanation would be better.

@jaiho what is this forum for. We are here to help, aren't we? Even if they will make it more technical, there will be people to help. But, if that would have been the case, the people that don't know abt it would have learn't something new. Don't you think so?

@harshit tech doesn't mean coding only. There are a lot more things involved. And as you said 90 % tech and 10% other will be great. But thats not the case right now. I think it is opposite in present situation.

I got my magazine yesterday due to late delivery.
Is the CTC3 Contest ended?
I am stuck on the droid clue and I tried the correct no. in www.thinkdigit.com/ctciii/<result.html> but it does not work and the sitemap appears. It's not working. Why??? I even tried www.thinkdigit.com/ctciii/<3*****.html>
this with my answer but it even did not work. I added the correct page no. but in vain. Help!!!!

Help please, with the picture connect 2 clue,
or, the And that has made all the difference page asking about the sub-section.??

@ hari1 - add the correct page no. take care of what page you are supposed to add.

At which url to give the answer? www.thinkdigit.com/ctciii/<3*****.html>
www.thinkdigit.com/ctciii/<result.html>

@hari1 no you haven't add the right page no.

@sidbond there is a google doodle in there that can easily give you the answer

@viraniac- u r correct . There is less tech in ctc this time . Last time d crossword was itself full of general tech knowledge though being history bt i liked it coz it was good stuff 4 beginners.

At which url to give the answer for the first online clue? www.thinkdigit.com/ctciii/<3*****.html>
OR

fellas, any clues on the "do what you gotta do" page.

I see the morse code but decryption shows gibberish.?

Any tips like no of letters, case, no of words, digits etc?

@hari1 - you have to replace the "<result>" with your answer in the www.thinkdigit.com/ctcIII/<result>.html

@royal.tarun I am in M.Tech.

@SyGeek You missed - hack this site, notpron.
Also check tech podcasts. They usually have some contests once in a while.

@SyGeek You missed - hack this site, notpron.

Oh..that was one of my favorite.

@sidbond_patna. you dont have space between letters. Thats why it can lead to a number of decryptions. To be precise more than 170k. but to narrow you out there are enough hints already posted in the forum.

Need detailed hints for, Across - 11, 12, 13. Down - 1 (GeekNerd?), 5, 11.

@sygeek you are close for 1 down check the forum categories to get the answer. Remember answer in crossword is the name of section in magazine or forum.

@varnaic hey these are related to programming.
And i'm not too gud at it.i only know c and c++.please suggest sumthng at my level.

Found almost all, except:
Across - 11. and 13.

no reply on the commencement of third phase of CTC3 even after asking... unfair.....

ok..... times up............. where are the next round of clues....? Team DIGIT.....? in sleep mode?

Where are the clues.......?

for i=1 to infinity
printf("where are the clues?");

@viraniac - just checked the whole forum, it's all about brute code.
Still stuck,
Can't you give the phrase structure, or anything similar. btw, what does the '|' in the morse indicate?

ada pongappa... evlo naeram than clue varumnu kaaththu kidakrathu.... naan thoonga poraen..... good night..........

| indicates the separation of the two words. With this and the clues given you should try brute force, it finishes in no time.

@Digit
Where's the clue?

do
{ refresh }
While(text=check this page...)

Post 2:

It's 5:30 in the morning. Where is the clue digit? The page has been refreshing since last night

@cybertronic .. the day isnt over yet .

and me too is restless for the clue :))

it seems no moderator has logged in...... what happened? Team DIGIT is on sabbath? i wont be accessible to net from 12 to 7pm...... what will i do if CTC race starts in that time?

:C_doubt:

A

nopes...nybody having any idea of the time?

guys i m playing ct for the first time...how are the prizes given?? like to the first few winners or to everyone who completes it??

S

brute forcing on an OCed celeron @680Mhz, takes 13 days for a 7 lettered password. Can I not even get the case of the password, upper,or lower?

me too missed the first two ctc........ playing for the first time and came these far........ but now i feel like playing a rabbit-turtle game...... i feel like a twilight stage......

you feel it like a twilight stage @saras??
i am also trying my hands on CTC for the first time.. and i am still stuck at the crossword..

For the crossword, read the hints, and the magazine's index.

@ Mukul Rockstar

The answers to the crossword are famous digit magazine features. If you are able to get atleast 2 of the answers, even no clues are needed for the remaining crossword. As word length is given you can easily fill it.

@tmanikandan i did all the clues but i cant frame out:
11[across] and 1[down]
and unsure of 12[across]is it a****s??

half of the day is over and still no sign of next phase... whats happening?

S

@mukul - 11 across is also a feature newly introduced.
1 down is a bit tough just figure out the first part and tally it from the magazine's index.
12 across - use google or read wiki.

Better, just check the length of the word demanded, and find it from the index.

@ Mukul_Rockstar

For 11 across...Just jumble it, You will get the famous digit magazine feature.

1 Down is very easy. Just think as the word length is 8.

If u solve 1 down, u don't have problem with 12 across

(or)

If you solve 12 across, 1 down is easy.

Further , as u solved most of the crossword, u can get the answer even without solving the above 3

help with zip please..

Can I get the character space and the number of letters?
Or viraniac's script.

Brute-forcing since 10pm last night, non-stop, and what i get is 17 days remaining?? :shock:

when will the clues be released. waiting since 3 AM

Waiting....

@sidbond_patna

Just study the morse code ( wiki) properly

and you can also look again at the previous clues posted.

U don't have to brute force it for the first part. With the first part in hand, second part can be tried with various combinations or with the help of clues posted here or with brute force or with the script

Don't lose patience. Keep trying.

try viraniac's script.. it works..

first it creates a sort of rainbow table then tries out all the combinations from the table unless it succeeds..

A

i m losing patience now... huh

staticsd is not online.

So digit planning to post the clues @ 3 PM ?

i am going to be offline for 5.30 hours... hope they will release the clue at least before that... will be back online by evening and will start cracking...

S

@Mukul - Viraniac's script has been removed by the moderator.
You have it?

V

Actually no script is needed for the answer.....

just go to any online morse code translater site and try different combinations.....
Clue 1 : two words (2,7)
Clue 2 : the second word is related to the picture
Clue 3 : '|' it separates the two words....

When I was doing this I got that word but was not knowing about the zip file, I was putting the word on the url....

staticsid posted that already. YOu shouldv'e known they are almost always a bit late.
But it was good for me :neutral:

@SyGeek - what exactly are you talking about?
For the crossword, just open any regular digit issue, and lookup the contents, you will find all the answers except one. Just sort by the number of letters provided in the crossword hints and see what fits.

@sidbond_patna: I'm talking about across - 11. geek chic set blah blah..

S

It's literal rearrangement of "chic set"

Clues out?

S

i've downloaded more than 10 movies since the last checkpoint...where is the new clue..is there any time gap between us and digit team...??

If you are using Firefox, hit ctrl + F5 to hard refresh.

And to anyone on the cheatsheet, someone found that a week ago. That's not the correct answer AFAIK.

Even looked up the image location and searched for the term which led me to a Wikipedia page concerning the term. Tried each word in that page which looked as an answer but...*sigh*..nothing.

I guess CTC is just not for me, you guys are completing it easily, meh..

On a side note, why not use IRC for the discussion. Instant answers, though I'm not referring it as a permanent source but it would be better when an instant reply is needed.

My parents did the same thing @ 11 pm !

And now I have to leave for my coaching!!

S

@all - for people stuck at the rebus.
The 1st picture is symbolical, while the 2nd can be taken literally.

Team Digit, please make the contest a bit more parent-friendly next year. That way everyone has even chances, the kids, the late-teens and the rents themselves too.

@sidbond so rebus is the correct path?/

@achuth

Rebus led me to a dead end and congratulated me... so better skip it.

S

@markerOne and achuth - looks can be deceptive. Make sure you get what's inside!!

@viraniac done!!!

@markerone @sidbond im thru tht page

@sidbond check ur pm

Whats the link btw those two pics from Qr code ?

One resulted in Loop
Other resulted in Dead End...

Do we have a 3rd answer ?

A

does rebus have a dead end or there is some twist?? plz gv hint

twist

which will eventually turn into a dead end

@ Achuth

A Wrong Turn ?

yeah ..

S

@ Achuth. don't make it this easy for 'em. Not everyone returns the favor!!
@all - PLease use the cheat sheet 2. and look what's working behind what you see.

BTW, how many here have completed CTC III.
10??
When does Digit reply back?? or atleast confirm delivery??

So 10-15??

Add a few more

Congrats to all who completed. I guess I may not win now but at least want to finish the race.

Any hint for Picture connect 3? I tried reverse image search, found a pattern in the countries they were born but couldn't come up with an answer.

How many gift the digit guys have? I mean how many people can be winners?

@sygeek - As Page94 said, you will have the right to brag about it. Think of the first person and his strongest and longest association. Wiki the second person and find if he has the same association.
Spoiler: Use Ctrl+F

@viraniac - I think 10 maybe. Check your fb.

@Tejas - Already added all those who Pm'ed me.

lol.

They have "7" common between the years, but still I tried all kind of patterns, didn't help. Can you tell me what kind of association, their professions vary a lot, thus I can't take a match between them.

I mean, if all of them would have been founders of any company, I could have calculated their years as a Founder. But they are - F****** -> D******* -> A***** -> S******** -> P********.

Have previous pages with white text been updated?

Got it, thanks guys. Everytime I get stuck on a clue and you guys help me out with a hint, I'm like, WTF?! How the hell did I miss that, I was so damn close.

@all - Don't just look at what is shown to you. demand more from the page by looking at everything it contains.

So how's everyone doing? Some are doing well and some are struggling looks like, so I think it's time for some help...

Here are some things that may help:

Look within each and every page carefully. And i mean EVERY page of this leg. Pages that are there to help you as well.

Loops making your head spin? Try and plot a map on paper from one html to the other, might just help to see clearly.

As for languages, most of you know just two are needed. Try combinations. Hint:conjunction

@saras They won't announce it now. You will see result in the next issue of digit probably. Thats what they did last time.

@viraniac: but how come hauntedguy alone was informed... atleast they can send us an acknowledgement of the email they receive...

@saras He was informed because he was the first guy who cracked it. Don't worry. Intezaar ka fal meetha hota hai.

We have to wait for the official list.

Regarding Prizes - It states "If you are among the first few" - Would it be given to the Top 20 or to the Top 30 ?

Also everyone who cracked will be featured in digit ?

H

imagine how hard it would be if we couldn't use google...:glass-rollingeyes:

did you seel at last url...
'If you are among the first few to send the correct answer, you stand to win something and of course be featured in Digit!'

they say you win "something". so... is it like, they themself dont know what to give?

also they say "featured in Digit"... if they didnt contact us, how will they feature us? simply they feature our login names...? i dont think so!

@hauntedguy. I don't think thats in the list. I don't think they will even give you a raspberry pi.

Last two yrs because of lack of PC and mobile phone(multimedia) i was't able to play it all...now I fully enjoyed it. Crack The Code really Craked my boredom of holidays.

Hey @saras ...What do u Do btw??

@sunnyonhunt: "what do u do btw??" u mean to know what?

H

Ah well, i know, ive been reading abt the last CTC, but heck, whats the harm in asking for it?

maybe they did 'sudhrofy' , maybe they will make it big this time for their anniversary?
(really dont think so, but im trying to be positive, bear with me people)

Btw, raspberry pie sounds good too

If i receive anything at all I'm going to put it in a display box. :))

correct me if i have missed some body... i believed they yelled as soon as they cracked... including guests... i think the count may go to circa 30....

That's some effort buddy!!!!!

@hottest topic - They got lot of sponsors for this edition, more than any DIGIT edition. Hope that they'll spare us something to drool on.. Plus as consolation, maybe they can add a DIGIT CTC tee for, like, 20 or 25 people.
Now that is an additional demand plus what's already in store..

What say???

@sidbond_patna: "DIGIT CTC tee"? whats that?

CTC more than once a year...I think its a good idea. Yes?

ya... even i would like to have ctc once a year... may be related to the anniversary issue. but it should be conducted by the month of may and result should be out in june issue...

CTC 4.... i would like to have in a single stretch... no pause between phases... they should wait till most of the readers (mean±2SD) get their copies and should start direct online quiz... may be initial few online questions from exclusive DIGIT book from which we get the link to further online clues... in that way the REAL early bird cracker (p value >0.05) can be identified... also they should keep some tracking mechanism in every url so that the entire sequence of web pages cracked by a geek is kept in check by DIGIT. just getting answer from a cracked person and directly going to the check point / final url can be prevented... what u say guys...?

@saras Btech .

ctc Tee...yes I want It...

@prateek its very straight forward. Do a reverse image search. you only need to search for 2 or 3 person from the top and you might have the answer.

@hauntedguy I was talking abt raspberry pi not raspberry pie. Its a $25 computer.

Me too did the same, cause I reached the 1st checkpoint late, so didn't know if it was the check point. Actually, I sent them three mails.
Because, haste made me send the first one to :editir@thinkdigit.com

Next one without the first checkpoint, with all urls in chronological order,
Last one for my assurance, with the checkpoint.

By the way looks like this year there wont be too many prizes like last year.. This year, they havent got any sponsors for ctcIII. Last year Amkette had sponsored if I remember correctly.. They have put empty banners for sponsor in all clue pages unlike last year when they had Amkette banner.

Now into n0tpr0n.
The questions from project euler are easy, as in definition. I found the questions to go difficult gradually as you proceed.
But the challenge is to write the smallest block of code needed and to execute the code in minimum amount of time possible with efficiency!!

if yes please reply then.. i wanna know how it works..

@mukul_rockstar

The script is a python script. You need a python interpreter for that. Get Python 2.7 interpreter from python.org. Open command prompt run the following command

> Python code.py >> dict.txt

note: the above assumes that path to your python installation has been setup and the "code.py" is in the current directory.

This will produce a file named "dict.txt" that will contain all possible decodes of the morse code that are of nine characters. You can give that file to any zip cracking program and can crack the zip using dictionary attack.

Or you can use, online Morse Code Translator:
CGI Morse Code Translator

@amitsahoo: Thanks!!

i did the steps you mentionad above vianiac, but the strange thing is that it's creating the list with the beginning character as 'k' instead of the usual 'a', also it's ending prematurely at something from 'y'. hope u fix this soon and reply so that i get to know something new..

Its not a bug to fix. The script is not generating the list of all possible 9 character string. Instead, it is generating all possible decoded string for the morse code that is nine character long.

For example, consider a morse code without space be:-

"..."

Now the possible decodes can be
eee (. . .)
ei (. ..), ie (.. .)
s (...)

If I say that the string is of 2 characters before encrypting than the only possible values in the list can be "ei" and "ie".

I hope this will make things clear.

Congrats to all who won

Viraniac, were you first to Crack it?

i totally agree with you .! I dont think anyone could crack the code without being on the forum because of that mario clue on facebook...everything about that was discussed here itself

not only the mario clue.. but also the samuel morse clue.. :twisted:

Congratulations to all the winners.

PLs add me to that list!!!

PLS PLS!!!!!
:-D

For clarification:

Only the top 3 winners were awarded prizes for finishing 1st, 2nd and 3rd – like a podium finish.

The rest of the winners are from a lucky draw that was done at the time of going to print on the 22nd.

^^ Congo to the winners... :doublethumb:

And thanks Mr. Editor for the Clarification!!! :-D

Wow.. Missed BIG opportunity this time!!!

Congrats to Winners

what.......? lucky draw.....? totally unfair... i never believed that i was playing a mind rocking game for testing my luck... sleepless nights, burnt out neurons, goooooooooooogling web, forum discussion, hunting for clues, getting neat to lunatic......... all these are just for judging my luck...? i never thought i would be playing a DIGIT contest for a lucky draw... much disappointed!

I am the last to finish

Never mind learned lot of new things thanks digit

Oh come on! Most people don't play CTC for the prizes anyway. We planned on giving only 3 prizes in the beginning, but since Amkette generously decided to sponsor the prizes, I figured I'd share the wealth evenly.

I'd personally like to encourage everyone to play, participate and finish.

So some of you guys are more determined and maybe even smarter than the rest, but this was never meant to be something akin to the rat race our education system makes you run... this is learning made fun, and everyone who participates - from 10-year olds to 65-year olds (yes, 65 is the oldest participant that I know of for previous CTCs) - deserve an equal chance at the rewards just for making an effort.

Congratulations to everyone who played and finished!

Tell me, which one did everyone like the best... I, II or III? I'll get CTC IV made more along the lines of the most popular one.

Added a poll... please reply to make CTC IV even better than the first 3

@raabo-- can u please generate a list of all the people who cracked the code correctly bt were unlucky in the draw . I think this would encourage people to try for ctc instead of just giving up next time. As this list would be by the digit team so we would actually come to know how many people had actually craked correctly.

Raabo said:

Voted in the Poll.
Ctc 1 was best according to me. Although I didnt manage to finish it.

Will CTC IV come again in anniversary issue or any other?????

okay, so that's the case, that means i also had a fair chance of winning..

but where are the 8-10th ranking people??
and since ctcIII was the only one which i could crack, i voted for it.

Another thing is....
"Can we have ctcIV in this December issue?" please...

sygeek said:
Anniversary issue, as usual.

Once it came in Feb 2010(ctc1) issue and then ctc2 came in anniv 2010 issue with just a gap of 2 months...

mukul_rockstar said:
"Can we have ctcIV in this December issue?" please...

NO!! PLS! I had exams in June, that's why became so late in solving CTC. And exams are also in December!! So pls, some other month! ANY month!

Congrats to all the winners. This is the second time, I was not able to participate in the contest due to exams/job

Hey Guys, I will like to know the winners according to their forum names. So please can someone post their nicknames also?

@raabo It would have been better if you guys have made the announcement about the lucky draw earlier.

Please refer to post #1862 by Achuth

He has posted all the winners according to forum names

@thetechfreak The problem I have is I don't know the mapping between the real name and the monikers.

A

Congrats to all the winners.....!

yeah @raaabo you could have atleast mentioned that a lucky draw would be taking place..

Voted For CTC I - tht was the most fun thing .. i didnt even know that you could hide something in a page's source code =D if i remember ryt i dint even mail them after i finished because i didnt know even to check a file's md5 . phew !! :))

i completed ctc I during my 10th Boards ......coundn't complete ctcII bcoz of whitespace interpretor........completed ctcIII on the day when winners announced was late due family holidayz

thx to all who helped me day and night in solving the ctc especially ishu gupta and viraniac

i request digit to plz give ctc in the months when there are no exams like in the months of june or may

one more ques why does the edit button does not comes in firefox in mac??

I don't think anyone who finished CTCIII would mind the prizes if they at least got featured in the mag. :unsure:

No prizes!!!! :cryeyesout:

^^ +1 to that! :-D

Everyone who managed to Crack it should have atleast their name included in the magazine

Is there anywhere all the answers/hints posted ? I started playing now, and it would be waste if I ask you guys for the hint.

Can someone post all the stuff in one post ?

So you want the ultimate cheat sheet....
I can share it with you, if you decide to suck all the fun out of it!

I think digit already included the Ultimate Cheat sheet in July issue

But yes if you could post it here, would be great :wink:

Well, by popular demand, I am posting the link to the excel file, which I used to track my progress in CTC 3.
Considering that the winners have already been declared, it's safe to publish that now.

Remember, the best Geek, would not have to use the Cheat Sheet at all...

WTF??? It's already done? NOw, I'm just going to ask my dad to pay for the portable drive+a PMP+ an HD player. He should've known it was going to be a LUCKY DRAW, right??

Now I'll just read the magazine from the library for the whole year. I seriously don't think I'm going to buy a copy, in the next 6 months. Probably just borrow and read and return. That's it.

Cheers to the lucky men.

Yes its already done. Only the podium holders were given prizes according to rank.

Finally, CTC III received the maximum votes... It was fun! Thanx Digit!

However, you wrapped up CTC III very quickly.

Can't we have a regular dose of CTC? Upload a set of 5-10 clues every weekend. No prizes! Just for fun!

To start the game CTC 3, you would need the magazine of digit of June edition.
After a few clues, you would reach to online phase of the game, and from then on, you won't need the magazine.

I already made an account on a free host. Have already uploaded a few pages.
It has a 5GB bandwidth limit.

Whats the bandwidth limit for a free account on weebly?
Anywhere I can securely host the pics. Don't want anyone finding the images by mistake/search.

EDIT:Nevermind. Weebly is unlimited.

Bandwidth is unlimited as you said, But yes 5 gigs is enough

It has limited space I think (around a GB maybe)

Another CTC. Umm...

Not sure if I can find out time for it, but I am geared up for it... bring it on.

I would like to inform that my new site for Break the Code (BTC) is ready. All those interested must head over there to start. I would request all players to first head on to the registration page which will just contain your name and age so that analysis on difficulty can be made for further levels (Registration is required only once. You can even start without registering but it is recommended to register before start). Also do read the rules before starting. Link to BTC is:

- Home

Keep visiting forums for help if needed, also help improve BTC level by writing me a mail with subject "Break The Code" to u7karsh@yahoo.co.in and telling how you felt playing it.
