Well, CTC 6 is welcomed. After a very long time, eh?

^yup, after two years I think.

For subscribers, magazine leg is live

I need to come out of my hibernation and buy the recent issue ASAP!

hah! welcome back

The first leg is about to go live in 10 minutes.

It is live. The first prize is a One Plus 6.
Start here.

Anorion said:

Start here.

I'm confused by the page. What exactly do we have to do with that?

Edit: How to submit answers?

It's a puzzle

Actually, the link to start is somewhere on that page only, read everything carefully. Most importantly, read the rules.

Anorion said:
It's a puzzle

How do I submit the answer?

I... can't say

url/answer is the norm, read the rules.

Can someone provide a link to a puzzle from CTC V and its solution so that I could get an idea about this contest? I've been trying to get leads on the first leg for the past three hours, I've read the rules but I still haven't made any significant progress.

inserting the answer redirects to the same question, with just the answer printed on the pic.

Any hint?

Some one update the "CTC V" typo in the rules section!

Now stuck looking at a snapshot from a movie I like. Anybody requiring any help, feel free to PM.

How do I submit the answer?
url/answer is not taking it.

ctc.digit.in/<answer> is the format. Obviously, you don't need to type the angular brackets.

I havn't got my June magazine yet. But I think I can start cracking the code! *cracks knuckles*..

Couldn't get ahead after first 2 clues. That "portrait" of "her" one.
The year mentioned doesn't ring any bell. Answers too broad to just guess.

I think this CTC is not for me. -_-

anyone reached yet where it says, " Find the hacker at work here? " help lol. any clue or anything?

Would it be ok to post how many correct answers we've gone through before coming to a roadblock?

@SaiyanGoku, PM me, there are several like that

Another generic clue : all the colour questions are related to colour theory

feel free to ask each other and give hints in PM
only two people have cracked the first leg so far...

Anorion said:

hope this clue helps... haven't slept for 2 days

Okay
questions 1-10: Passwords from pop culture
questions 11-15: hackers from pop culture
questions 16-20: elements from classic games. You have to find the proper names of the objects/chars/elements.
questions 21-30: colour theory.
questions 31-40: ciphers. All of them are types of substitution ciphers. If you figure out how to use machines to solve one of these, all of them should be easy.
questions 41-50: mixed bag.

PS, a lot of you seem to be getting stuck on q 29, look for contemporary, fashionable or trendy colours. Then dig into the history.

Rajat Asthana said:

Lol, you should probably sleep, its an average over a span of 4 legs for the top prize. There are many prizes. Taking a break and coming back fresh helps.

braingamer said:

well, back end indicates two unique people who reached the finish line, apart from our own people... but the confirmation is pending... so actually officially no one has completed the first leg yet.

Are there any clues in those DVD's/extras?

I don't have a laptop with a disk drive.
I will be buying the magazine only version.

P.S. Lack of time makes me want to quit this ctc :facepalm:

Lol, im going to be answering qs and pms for some time

no one has still cracked the first leg

best thing is seeing questions in inbox, after which people solve it themselves

those who have figured out the answers, please provide hints to others also, I'm running out of ideas for providing hints, and maybe fresh perspectives will help

it is a bit overwhelming to see so many new members, so welcome to the forums everyone

Nope, none of the clues are in DVDs. Just one question is about DVD contents, which can be found on DVD face or contents.

Have added clues on the places where many people are getting stuck at in the first page also, but here they are

comic thingy - watchmen. The comics is watchmen.
lollipop - its a geeky movie, a scene where the protagonist is asked a password to enter a night clib. google reverse image search, and then put password in the box.
colour boxes - the grid is a series, like word of the year, person of the year, game of the year...

Okay two people have completed the ctc and finished the forms as well, so they are officially going up in the leaderboards

at least 4 more have reached the final answer, but not filled in the form yet...

Now whats the status !!
Leaderboards ???
It isn't updated...

Leaderboards have been updated

5 people have completed so far
congrats!

please give feedback, how was the experience, and do you want the next leg to be tougher or easier, and what kind of puzzles, questions do you want?

well, the procedure is you reach the end and fill out a form
saw in back end, that few people had reached the final answer in leg1, but had not filled the form
now the forms have been filled, and those are being added to the leaderboards
hope that clears it up

Oh... some of the more advanced tools should work, but dunno about this particular software
even simpler tools, something like a paint application should be good too
the next clue is hidden in the image, and you need to use some manipulation to extract it... there are multiple ways to do it

and one person has finished the magazine leg... leaderboards have been updated.

Links for magazine leg here is pointless as you will need the magazine to play it.

ALL CLUES need the June Anniversary mag/fast track/dmystify, so no answers to be found online at all.

I just wanted to ask if I have not completed leg 1 still stuck at one of those colour question s so let's say something magic happens !!! and I complete leg 2 so will I get anything provided I am fast ? And is the magzine leg completely different ? And yes can their be any legs for those who are students and cannot devote day and night to CTC (lack of time makes me quite doing this!!)

Rdksuper said:

I would too like it if something can be done for students like me. The vacations are ending soon and that'd create serious time constraints

There is still time. You have to finish leg 1, as the ranks across all four legs will be considered for final prize.

SaiCyo said:

you do not have to finish it quickly, there is a lucky draw for those who are unable to dedicate the time required to be the ones to finish it the fastest
the magazine leg is anyway a lucky draw
the multiple legs was an effort to make sure people pace themselves out actually, but this may actually be counterproductive

thanks for the feedback, and will think of organising more such competitions in different ways

The leaderboards have been updated

Can I have hint on cipher #2?

it is a substitution cipher
its a little laborious, but you can do with pen and paper
it is a pangram

if you figure it out, it is a pretty straightforward substitution cipher - but it is not a Caesar cipher, or any of the named popular ciphers
you can use tech to brute force decrypt it... quipquip is a good site
hope this helps

If anyone needs help solving leg1 questions, pm me. I'll be happy to help.

any hints on the killer maze and crossword question (first q of magazine leg)?

yeah...
the solution of the maze is part of the question, the grid of letters is another part, you have to find a way to put the two together

well GOOD JOB .some people r still stuck in leg1 like me

there are other prizes apart from top prize, for people who are slower, or do not have the time to dedicate
all the legs can be played concurrently, so even if leg 2 is going on, people can continue to solve leg 1

Anorion, a question.
Why are there people who are posting the links to actual clues in the forum?
It gives participants a chance to solve a clue in the middle of the race, wouldn't that be unfair to everyone else?

And Kishan, nice to see you on the leaderboards. What are you upto these days?

Yeah sorry about that.... I didn't see ur post... I thought if i only posted the pics, they couldnt skip it... Didnt think about if someone solves it... Need a better system to ask for hints

^yup, just describe it vaguely, those who have solved it will know
@SaiCyo has generously volunteered to provide hints, so you can pm him. You can also pm me.

we have changed the urls this time, with a random text string to be appended towards the end
this means that you will not suddenly end up on a clue if you make the wrong guess (in the previous leg, one person directly jumped to the end by incorrectly guessing the answer to one of the questions)
the caps on the random strings do not matter... if there is a o or 0 in the string, it is mentioned separately, below the image, so you can copy paste

I couldn't solve it either. You can try to guess the URL directly instead, by looking at the patterns in previous URLs.

stuck at that 10 colored boxes question. I get the "_ of the year" part, but I tried them all. Didn't work. Unless the links between the boxes in each column have some kind of meaning that i don't understand.

There's a number given. And it's in the mag leg. Do the math. Next thing, just look at the page and it's loud and clear.

The number is on that page? (the picture that is)

The last page for color theory is bugged. It doesn't work if you append the given code to the answer. Wasted whole night on that.

which one? the last question is not bugged. And about the appending alpha-numeric letters, just don't get confused with zeros and Os.

sorry

team Digit is kind of busy working on next month's issue, so we made a slightly tougher leg, and its going to last two weeks instead of one.

Also, next leg is going to have some "real questions", and is probably going to be tougher, so get those mental cogs well oiled with this leg

Think a bunch of people are stuck in the Kim page...
just saying, we are not a magazine that would celebrate her achievements... hope that helps

You don't have to have seen it to guess, maybe people who have seen it also would need to look it up, think of it as a clue. It is a special edition of oneplus, which was related to star wars. The finish was based on a planet. You can look this up in multiple ways to get the answer. The questions get progressively tougher from there, but leg 2 focuses mostly on technology and less on pop culture. Good luck!

Anyway, everyone has good time now to finish all three legs

The final leg of CTC VI will begin on 29th June 2018. Mark your calendars. This has been purposely decided to destroy your weekend. We do not want people to go sleepless during school or work nights... or play from their office computers, or with touchscreens under desks

You should complete legs 1 & 2. The aggregate of the 4 legs would be considered. Magazine leg is a separate one and is a lucky draw.

There is a lot of ups and downs in the list, and you finished the toughest leg so far first... so the other two should be a breeze

su58 said:

This has not yet been decided... essentially it means the more people finish, the more prizes there will be
there will probably be some kind of lucky draw among all those who finished all the legs, leaving out those who win the main prizes, so that those who are slower will not lose out

in short, prizes have not been decided

sygeek said:

Not necessarily. Leg 4 will be longer and harder. Winning leg 4 by being much faster than others might very well give you a huge advantage and get you amongst the prizes. But you'd still need to finish all 3 legs before that to even qualify for prizes... If you don't finish even a single leg you don't qualify at all.

We also have a lucky draw for all those who finished all 4 legs, and you might win that, but only if you finish all 4.

I'm thinking of "I Cracked the Code" type t-shirts...

Joke's on you. I got 4 hours of coaching on Saturdays and 7 hours of coaching on Sundays. If it'd been school I could've skipped it but it isn't. I would be solving problems during class, but not the ones given my teachers lol.

Honestly though, I'm screwed. :emoji_confused:

keep at it, you people should figure it out. Giving some general hints to clues where people are stuck the most:

Some things are red herrings
Some things are deceptive
Some things need to be taken literally
Some things are a rebus hidden in plain sight

Please give a hint for it which works.

OK, so I've come up with the last 3 clues only. Seems like this is where most people are stuck, or will be stuck.

If you notice, although I may make typoes from time to time, I am usually pretty careful with sentence construction, syntax, grammar. Anything that deviates from that... It's Likely To Be A Clue. ;-)

Also, as they're the last 3 clues, there's likely to be several levels of cracking the code required. It will not be as simple as converting X to Y, more like W to X to Y to Z

Start from zero, and behold "Alphabet Binary Decimal And Eyes Gone Gloomy", a little out of order.

One you get this the next 2 are a cakewalk.

Three step process...

Alphabet to Decimal is one step
Decimal to Binary is second step...

There's a third.

A=0

And with that NO MORE CLUES.

many people have posted on Reddit, that is fine, nothing we can do about it anyway, maybe just put our logos on it next time, so people know where it is coming from

Just dont give the rank 1 guy a 30k phone and the rank 2,3,4,5... guys a swiss knife xD
it'll be super funny

Exactly my point. Make the prizes such that the sum of retail price of rest of the top 10 prizes is equal to atleast half the retail price of the phone.

I already have a nail cutter, don't need a swiss knife lol. Seriously though, a swiss knife would be a real downer.

Okay okay, no swiss knives

some gaming gizmos would be nice, controllers/mouse/keyboards/headphones etc.

don't get your hopes up too high, only the top prize is locked down, and that has to be better than the next few winners
certificates definitely, rest we will figure out

Doesn't seem like a pre existing cipher :emoji_thinking:

yup

feel free to collaborate to crack this one

SaiCyo said:

doesn't seem like a simple substitution cipher, the variation of 2 letter words is higher than normal. Unless the whole sentence is broken up randomly.

The first symbol also has 3 variations (upside down and rotated clockwise). Although that is probably laziness to avoid creating a new character

sygeek said:

I think some of the symbols represent more than one letter. They might represent syllables instead.

SaiCyo said:

I've tried googling some of them one by one and haven't come across any working script. -_-

I think the 4th word in the top line is add, odd, bee, egg, app, off or ass.

maybe it involves phonetic symbols or I'm reading too much into it but no way those 2 letter words make sense otherwise.

Or could be that the spaces are not word boundaries after all.

I've ran it through some tools, they didn't work. Are we doing it right by substituting the symbols with letters?

1. does this twist explain why you have so many two letter words together?
2. do the letters map to a meaningful english sentence or some non grammatical sentence?

1. yes
2. yes, a meaningful sentence that explains the twist itself

It'd nice if you could update the winners page with the rankings.

Nono nothing so fancy
expect earphones and dongles, and swiss knives maybe for mag leg winners
its getting worked out, so another week or two at least. Then again, it could all be finalised in as little as four days. Everyone on the Digit team is working hard to make this worth your while.

I'm gonna be honest, it may be a little slow

we will be contacting the winners individually, then the dispatches will begin

Yeah at least update the winner list whilst you figure out the prizes... If that would be fine...

Should've sent the certificate with a Bugatti. Way safer.

I'd rather take an Aero 15x instead of that Bugatti. :bananana:

It is what it is. We did agree to the TnCs before participating.

@Anorion, people have forgotten about your substitution cipher text since there was no incentive. What was the plaintext I'm curious?

I wanted to see how far we can go with the difficulty there
If anyone gets it, it is actually a vvery simple trick

There must be a parallel universe where rank 2 is better than 1. *uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180901/a013241b9e36494fe46834c1c448aa45.jpg

Just received the package now.

Received the earphones on Saturday. The earphones are decent but there's a slight problem. The left earpiece has a lower volume than the right. At first, I thought it had something to do with my phone. So, I tried it on my laptop and desktop but the issue persists.

Does anyone else have this problem?

I have this exact issue. I had to check with different volumes and devices but the result is same! Also, I checked the box, those IEMs were imported in July 2012. I'm not sure when they were made or how they're even working now.

Yep. Same issue. I thought my 2007 Apple iPod shuffle was a few years old and was malfunctioning xD
Sold it on OLX for 1500 and bought the Sennheiser MX 686G. I feel bad for the customer who bought it for his kid though.

Hey if anyone has issues do put it on an email to me

You people have my email id

Just one... What's the dispatch status on the OP6... :emoji_confused:

Anorion said:

Please check your email inbox.
Also, has the mag been dispatched yet?

@ddash123, your OP is getting dispatched separately, you should get it, hopefully soon
@SaiyanGoku yup, checked being discussed what to do
will clarify which three months the magazine subscription is, its either sep-oct-nov, or, more likely, oct-nov-dec

this is not for people who already have subscriptions, you know who you are, you get 3 months extension

Anorion said:

Well, do keep me updated on the dispatch status n all if you get to know more about it.
I'm hoping to get it soon...

After all, thanks for the competition, learned a lot from it!
@Raaabo did you take inspiration from the cicada 3301?

It was dope! You part of the dark web ain't you?

Still waiting for a proper solution.

any updates on the earphone issue?

@Anorion, please update us regarding that earphone problem.

We have a few spare pieces, figuring out whether to give replacement gifts or send the spare ones
problem is, we might have to open them up and check if they are working properly, to ensure it does not happen again
not sure if that is a good idea

@Anorion, IMO though it does sound bad when you put it like that, several items in that batch of earphones had that exact same problem. So it does make sense to open them and check rather than us coming back with the same problem again.

I'm not sure if spare ones would be any better. They are more than 6 years old and how they still work now is amusing.

Any updates on the earphone problem?

Any updates on the OnePlus 6?

Lol

@Anorion, could you guys please replace Honor 10 with OP6 or Poco F1?

I tried for 3-4 hours and then gave up on EMUI.

But seriously, any updates ??

What's the earphones problem? I haven't really used them since I already have a couple of earbuds and headphones, but they seemed to work when I received them.

One earpiece has lower volume level than other one.

Mine has even gotten significantly worse since then.

Like perfectly fine and properly working Cowon earphones?

PS: I'm not salty about the prizes being defective but it'd be a good idea to test atleast one piece of the batch before shipping them. The earphones are inexpensive so it'd likely cost you more to collect and send replacement units so I guess it's obvious that we didn't get a follow up.

I like the certificate and as per my rank, that's more than enough. But for the prize, I'd rather have nothing at all than get something which doesn't work.

+9000

Could've not given you prizes and instead given me a better one.

I feel sad for Amrit tho. @AMRIT got the OP6 yet?
