I don't understand what the concept of this game is? what I want do for this? hey friends pls help me anyone?
I'm just stuck in the begining. i don't even know how to apply for the job
Your email tells you that you should apply through the Terminal. (Let me know if you need another hint)
yeah, i got that, so in the teminal what do i type? how do i apply?
i tried pinging the email adress
The email address won't work. Try just pinging the domain:
ping care.tech
then after
If that worked, then you should see a drive on the desktop with a text file of instructions and four missions.
i solved the suduko on the tmsj.tech site. what do i do with it.
Congratulations! I can't help you though, I'm still working on the 2nd mission (nabster). Do you have any tips for the 2nd mission?
Hint: Typos in the Music Kid Album.
Its not working
i try HAPPY and happy but it doesnt work
EXACTLY
There are characters missing in artist names as well.
BRUH
yes i tried HAPPY99 too
There are no missing artist names
yes its 98 degrees not just 8 degrees
Any ideas
nope, i dont know how to solve the sudoku one or the last one they are both unclear
For the last one, you have to find every single one that has the word dot in it in ALL LANGUAGES
i have translated all of the titles of the songs but then what?
https://www.google.com/search?client=opera-gx&q=happy99&sourceid=opera&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy99
and? it doesnt work as the answer to anything
idk its a virus
the second hint says the first letter of each song name in the OldiesButGoodies playlist and it spells UPGRADEVERSION
ITS HAPPY2000
LETS GOOO
I have no idea lol
because there was a new and upgraded version of Happy1999 in 2000.

I'm stuck on the second step
Are answers case sensitive? I don't know if I'll need specific case or hyphens for the first answer
btc2.tech/UnOOR3
there are very faint impresions on the surface of the moon
I know. #Sadface
the answer is CPC-ABS-JBI its the 3 letter all capitals that appear on the site in the text
Starting a top thread for part 4 "Revamp"
Translated every song. One translates to "Hint - Overlap the songs point by point"
Have to overlap the songs but how is the question, what does it mean point by point? Line them up using the equalizer settings? Song duration?
Couple other things stand out
these following songs have flat line equalizers while the others dont. They also seem to be clues
Magic Mirror - TOD ETALSNART (TRANSLATE DOT) 3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3
Indiciu - Suprapune punct cu punct melodiile (Hint - Overlap the songs point by point) 3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3
Wayne - The Dot Song 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1
SOS - Find me DMS 3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3
EDIT
You can separate the songs in categories. First split them up based on their equalizes, as the same number ones are hints, the other half you can split a second time on if the song is about Dots, if you listen to clippy, he gives hints also. and he states "a rose by any other name is still a rose" , so dot by any other name is still a dot, i.e. POINT, SPOT, LOCATION*
The one song is SOS - Find me DMS, DMS = DEGREES : MINUTES : SECONDS.
This idea is backed by some of those hint songs. Also when you export the list of songs, you only get 18 not the full 19 songs in the list. This is another clue and can be confirmed by seeing the equalized are all the same when you select track 19. This song is called "DEGREES - Spin Me Around", this mentions out degrees and spinning, pointing us back to DMS = DEGREES : MINUTES : SECONDS
So since we are looking for a location, we now know we need the coordinates of this location, not a name.
need to figure out how to solve for the coords, that will be the answer
EDIT 2
Clippy gave clue of Duration and Directions be correlated.
Thinking it has to deal with the time lengths of the songs with Dot references.
EDIT 3
okay having the songs in three groups does matter. the songs about dot, songs not about dots, and songs that dont fit in either of those.
you add theses songs' lengths up to get minutes and second for both West and North
you then take the two number (116:36) from track 19 for the DEGREES
so once everything is slapped together you get the following coords
116:23:46 W 36:38:38 N
Though i was incorrect, the coords are not the answer but rather the location name they point to.
I will leave that little bit as fun for you guys as this is the last part of this drive.
all song names translated and reversed when needed: salmon-man.please-end.me/5rLvC3beC
that is how it shows up from the .csv file you download when you click the "save list" button in the bottom right
The other guy who deleted the comment said that when you click on the eject button it plays a rickroll.
Edit: It's NOT an Easter Egg
try to install hacx ;) if you are looking for some eggs
@fisheiyy I edited my OG post with more info
Installed hacx but is there any other code other than hackerman?
from looking around there is at least one more but i dont know what it is.
I believe it has to deal with the poem in the C Drive under My Computer /C/Files/ILOVEYOU.txt
It's a poem cypher and they are relatively easy to decode if you can figure out if you have the indicator group. which i believe is what starts that random line before the sign off
TOTHEMOON is another one:)
would these be the right equalizer numbers? salmon-man.please-end.me/5rP4DxmJV if so then what to do?
equalizers are just to separate clues from useful songs from what ive figured out.
@mackulin im not sure but the languages of some songs could also be a hint, also a we can split the songs into another categories which is songs that exist and songs that are totally made-up
clippy give a hint about that by wondering like what wayne will name his daughter or what dj lallma is doing also there's no dj lallma in the songs list
Figured it out already, look at my 3rd edit :)
ah well xD
116° 23' 46" W 36° 38' 38" N
which comes right next to the Area 51 Alien Center so the answer is Area 51
waiting for G2 :/
its out!
I don't know what you're saying about "songs about dot, songs not about dots, and songs that don't fit into either of those." The last two categories seem like the same things. Do you mean "songs with dot in the title, song with synonyms for dot (i.e. point) in the title, and songs with neither"?
First look at all the song's equalizer numbers. Any songs that have all the same number (repeating 1 or 2 or 3, etc) are clues. These songs can go in their own group and are no longer useful besides what clues that give.
Of the remaining songs, divide them into two more groups those about dots (points, dots, etc, if it means a dot it is included), if the song does not have anything to do with dots put that in the other group.
IE the three groups are
1 - Songs with straight equalizer bars - these are clues
2 - Songs that deal with dots, points, etc
3 - all remaining songs that dont fit in the above.
Thread for the 3rd part, Sudoku
so far i have unlocked 2 hints by just using fake spam google accounts i use for non sense when i dont want to give out my real information or use my real main gmail.
hint 1: salmon-man.please-end.me/5rLurzxQw
hint 2: salmon-man.please-end.me/5rLutqYci
solved sudoku puzzle: salmon-man.please-end.me/5rLuV7sRI
presidents secret service names in order according to hind 2: salmon-man.please-end.me/5rLvamGAc
so far all the clues have told me is to try
Scorecard Deacon Lancer Volunteer Timberwolf Searchlight Rawhide Passkey Eagle
or
Providence Deacon Lancer Volunteer Timberwolf Searchlight Rawhide Passkey Eagle
but neither work unless i am doing something wrong
when you copy all the numbers from the solved sudoku it appears like
6 3 7 2 5 4 9 8 11 2 4 8 9 3 7 5 69 5 8 6 1 7 4 3 22 9 6 4 8 1 5 7 35 4 3 7 6 2 1 9 87 8 1 9 3 5 6 2 44 6 5 3 2 9 8 1 73 7 9 1 4 8 2 6 58 1 2 5 7 6 3 4 9
and the paired numbers come out to 11 69 22 35 87 44 73 58
hint 3: salmon-man.please-end.me/5rLJJ4MHC
Has anyone solved this yet?
Answer above
What does it mean by pairs. I thought it meant the the number in the box and in the corner. eg 36, 35, 26
also it says 9 presidents the preceded Clinton, that doesn't include him so the list should start and Harry S Truman
I don't know where i'm going wrong or even if this will be useful to someone but this is what i'm using to figure this out.
I'm trying to get anything from those codenames and second set of letters and it looks like it could spell "anagram" although that's not all the letters
Also did anyone figure out what 'rearrange' in clue #2 reffer to ? how should we rearrange those codenames in refference to the first set of numbers and what should be considered as the first set ?
SOLVED
First hint is to list the presidents and their codenames in order,
second hint says to rearrange to the first puzzle number (the ones we had to solve for) and the order is from top to bottom of the puzzle, so president number order is then 3 - 1 - 2 - 4 - 7 - 5 - 9 - 6
Giving you:
3 Volunteer
1 Scorecard // Providence
2 Lancer
4 Searchlight
7 Rawhide
5 Passkey
9 Eagle
6 Lock Master
third hint says to use second number to then get the letter from each codename
if you do the same order that you took from hint 2 then you get the following:
3 Volunteer 6
1 Scorecard // Providence 5
2 Lancer 6
4 Searchlight 4
7 Rawhide 2
5 Passkey 3
9 Eagle 2
6 Lock Master 9
You take this and you get the following:
T(E/I)RRASAT
the i option that comes from Providence makes less sense as the E would make the word TERRA, or give us our answer of the target satellite that is known as TERRASAT {ANSWER}
right, so everything in here makes sense to me, until the part where you pulled the correct order of the codenames from.
how did you end up with 3 - 1 - 2 - 4 - 7 - 5 - 9 - 6? im trying to find the sudoku connection to that, but alas ive found nothing.
nvm figured it out
