BURN IT DOWN Puzzle - Ongoing Progress (Full Puzzle Complete)

[the cool kid]

the tweet said he was close, i mean c'mon, no one can figure it out, i cant, cause i got all d's and f's in math, and i hate math,

[linkinpark1996]

in left and right the puzzle, is there nothing just border, i think no need to solve it! LP must solve this for us

[Krishnan]

Haha. I just hope that we find the password soon so I can at least try to pass the exam.

[the cool kid]

i just went to the puzzles on the website, and i got letters on 2 of the quadrants, is that just a glitch or is that something

PS- i also havent slept in a while, so please excuse my dumb assness

It's a random 15-number string that gets generated anytime you visit the page. View the source of the website and hit CTRL + F and look for "var sudo".

I'm starting to think they should make a sticky of basic info like this, even if it's temporary.

They do have a sticky of basic info. It's the first post in the thread.

Have you been solving all of the puzzles? If not, do you mean the actual letters that spell the song or band name? If not, I've never seen letters.

[wolflink]

what is the theory of sl22

I meant something more significant. Unfortunately, people aren't reading the first page. They just come to the last.

i just put an edit, basically i haven't slept in a while, so please excuse my dumb-assness

Perhaps, Stl22 theory is close in the sense on how he/she is trying to figure the code. Idk, but at least we can 100% confirm that those xxxxx xxxx numbers are what we need to focus.(yeah, little late i know.)

[sadeqali05]

Can we have stl22's post on the first page? Should make things easier for people

[Emiltayeb]

We really need to continue solving with the theroy of stl22!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Xero21]

I have a question. Is anyone trying to solve this or are they just waiting for someone else to solve it?

[the cool kid]

will their be any new puzzles soon?

[Casanova]

Okay, so here is the theory we're working along pretty much. Here's a post I made earlier today along with all of stl22's posts:

01. <!--5-3282 3265-->        50017   17 - Q / L
02. <!--4-1602 1589-->        40013   13 - M / I
03. <!--3-1157 1132-->        30025   25 - Y / V
04. <!--0-0000 0000-->
05. <!---->
06. <!--6-1752 1732-->        60020   20 - T / N
07. <!--5-3168 3156-->        50012   12 - J / G
08. <!---->
09. <!--4-4682 4658-->        40024   24 - X / T
10. <!--3-9376 9365-->        30011   11 - K / H
11. <!---->
12. <!--0-0000 0000-->
13. <!--7-2029 2008-->        70021   21 - U / N
14. <!---->
15. <!--0-0000 0000-->
16. <!---->

Okay, here is a list of the most prominent factors so far.

- If we put aside the first digit of each column, you'll notice that each sequence has identical numbers at the start of the four digit numbers: 32 32 /11 11 / 17 17 and so on.

- To the right there's a list of the numbers you end up with if you minus the five digit number with it's following 4 digit number. When calculated, all of these numbers have 00 after the first digit and all end in numbers lower than 26.

- If we look back at the columns of numbers again and ignore the bold identical digits in the sequence, we are left with 2 numbers on one side and two numbers on the other: 82 65 / 57 32 / 52 32 etc. If you subtract these numbers, math tells us we end up with the same exact last two digits we get when we subtract the 5x4 numbers:

53282 - 3265 = 50017
82 - 65 = 17

- Look to the far right of the code and there are the listed numbers (all below 26) and their alpha counterpart if we are to assume A = 1 / B = 2.

I definitely think the numbers we have after subtracting the original numbers are something important, but just how and why I don't know.

I think that the series of 4/5 numbers (53282 3265, etc.) for each piece could represent a letter, with each of the "00000 0000"s being spaces, and could form a sentence, phrase, or even random code to be typed into the terminal. I have no idea how to solve the letters if that is the case, but I think it would make sense. That could be totally wrong, but just my thoughts.

In my opinion, sets of 5 and 4 numbers being comments and not even functional in the code is too much of a coincidence to not matter.

If you take the first digit off of the first number and then subtract the second number from the first number, you get a number between 1 and 26 for each. I just don't know what to do with the second number.

Also, instead of putting them in order of release of each puzzle, I think we should do the piece number (top-left = 1, bottom right = 16, etc.), otherwise we get two spaces in a row.

OK, so take each series of 5 and 4 numbers:


53282 3265
41602 1589
00000 0000
61752 1732
53168 3156
44682 4658
39376 9365
00000 0000
00000 0000

Now, separate the first digit of each of the five digit numbers:


5 3282 3265
4 1602 1589
0 0000 0000
6 1752 1732
5 3168 3156
4 4682 4658
3 9376 9365
0 0000 0000
0 0000 0000

Now, in each row, subtract the second number from the first number, not counting those first digits.


5 3282-3265=17
4 1602-1589=13
0 0000-0000=0
6 1752-1732=20
5 3168-3156=12
4 4682-4658=24
3 9376-9365=11
0 0000-0000=0
0 0000-0000=0

Notice how each answer is between 0-26, meaning each can be assigned a letter, giving me this, assuming zeroes are spaces:QM_TLXK__

But those first digits are still left over. I tried subtracting them from the answers, but it still didn't make sense.

Also, considering there are two zeroes in a row, I thought maybe instead of putting the letters in the order we got them, we should put them in the image order, like this:

1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
9 10 11 12
13 14 15 16

I'm kind of assuming that whatever these numbers end up giving us will be typed into the terminal to give us some answer. That's why every once in a while I just type stuff in there, like even the random letters and spaces I just got. Still nothing.

What I find odd is that supposedly we have everything we need to solve the puzzle. If these numbers were to produce words, wouldn't we need all 16? Otherwise it wouldn't give a final answer. Might be legible in some areas, but it wouldn't give us the final answer, like LP says we can.

This is probably useless, but might as well post it....

This will be complicated to explain but bear with me.... You might want to find my other big post to help this one make sense.

So, the answers to subtraction that I went over earlier are 17, 13, 20, 24, and 11. This is before I involved the extra first digits.

By adding and subtracting those extra digits from the subtraction answers, I got a lot of similar numbers:

17: +5=22 -5=12
13: +4=17 -4=9
20: +6=26 -6=14
12: +5=17 -5=7
24: +4=28 -4=20
11: +3=14 -3=8

If that made ANY sense to you, you'll see that the numbers 17, 12, 20, 14, and 24 each appear multiple times.

I probably went WAY too deep on this.

And honestly, I have no idea what to do next, unless this is the wrong post.

What are the sets of numbers from the last two puzzles?

[11:54]

I have a question. Is anyone trying to solve this or are they just waiting for someone else to solve it?

Both.

[Slim Shinoda]

Can anyone from LPA update that main page with all theorys by stl22?

[thor]

we're only 1 week away, i could survive without any snippets. in fact, i rather not hear snippets at all and just the full song instead. hearing snippets to me, takes the excitement away from the full song when i hear it for the first time.
