Fuck I have to leave now, good luck gentlemen.

Looks like the functions in 21 are:

1. 1
2. 2
3. 2->1
4. 1->9
5. 9
6. 2->2
7. 5
8. 1->2
9. 2->5

As far as I can tell

I was just going to follow the instructions till I noticed the numbers jumped around. This is venturing into math I don't know.

 

[spindoctor]

Just checked... if you've kept up so far, you've earned 800 megs free space

Yeah, that's what I got.

Tried applying them all in order, but got mush. May have screwed up somewhere along the way...

[Kazerei]

How do people do this so fast? I didn't even have time to code functions in PHP...

 

[clav]

I can decipher notes, but I'm not sure how this is related to the flags.

Oh I see...

 

[SpacedCadette]

Yeesh... how many steps are there? I'm getting burnt out. It's been 3 hours >_<

The music sounds like the beginning of anthems, so number corresponds to flag?

 

[msv]

Got the same,

1: 1
2: 2
3: 2,1
4: 1,9
5: 9
6: 2,2
7: 5
8: 1,2
9: 2,5

:/

 

[spinkick]

Flag correspond to a letter in the alphabet? That letter = the number ?

 

[Cyan]

Ahhh.

 

[Ivan A Nguyen]

I think they promised that this would take at least 9 hours. So I say we have another 2 or more to go until it's over. That's my vague internet math.

 

[DemonNite]

5th Row: [(Bosnia + India) / Brazil] mod 2

so all we need to do is listen to the midi files and match their anthems up and work out the sum

That seems kinda ridiculous, I don't think they expect us to recognize the beginning of national anthems and associate it with 3 second midi samples. Everything else has been pretty google-able.

 

[Adamm]

seems these are different again

 

[Biscuits]

Yeah on second thought they sound pretty terrible for anthems...

Zeppu, ours are at thesame:

4. [(Argentina * Seychelles) / Macau] mod 5

[clav]

Midi 1 and midi 17 files sound the same?

 

[spindoctor]

I don't think the sound samples have anything to do with national anthems. I listened to all of them and couldn't find my own (my flag is on the list) so I doubt people would be able to recognize them all. The sound files do have random drumbeats in them though, I wonder if their position might mean something.

 

[Lexxon]

Why does 1 and 17 sound the same?

On mine, the same flag shows up twice. Could be related?

 

[Ivan A Nguyen]

Better question. How are people doing flag math? What is a MOD?

 

[Biscuits]

Or the musical key letters of each midi match up to country names?

 

[Nevasleep]

...

 

[Cyan]

Better question. How are people doing flag math? What is a MOD?

Mod x is remainder after dividing by x.

 

[Zeppu]

Remainder of a division.

 

[Stumpokapow]

Better question. How are people doing flag math? What is a MOD?

mod is "remainder when divided by"

5 mod 2 = 1
11 mod 10 = 1
26 mod 10 = 6

 

[soco]

mine mentions the periodic table, so it may have to do with the 2 letter country codes and perhaps the atomic number?

as for the drumbeats, they're likely 0s of some sort.

 

[Ivan A Nguyen]

I can decipher notes, but I'm not sure how this is related to the flags.

Oh I see...

What notes are being played? IE how does each midi translate in the key of C

 

[Adamm]

what about the periodic table of elements? country names associated with element numbers on the table?

 

[Mairu]

my order is

[(Micronesia / Senegal) * Georgia] mod 23
[Portugal - Russia - Liechtenstein] mod 18
[South Korea + Micronesia - Mongolia ] mod 46
[(Argentina * Seychelles) / Macau] mod 5
[(Bosnia and Herzegovina + India ) / Brazil] mod 2

 

[half a moon]

This is mine

 

[Morac]

There's only 7 different flag rows:

https://www.dropbox.com/static/images/dropquest2012/flags3.png

https://www.dropbox.com/static/images/dropquest2012/flags6.png
https://www.dropbox.com/static/images/dropquest2012/flags7.png

So if all the rows are solved, just figure out your rows.

 

[Adamm]

my order is

[(Micronesia / Senegal) * Georgia] mod 23
[Portugal - Russia - Liechtenstein] mod 18
[South Korea + Micronesia - Mongolia ] mod 46
[(Argentina * Seychelles) / Macau] mod 5
[(Bosnia and Herzegovina + India ) / Brazil] mod 2

same as me!

 

[spindoctor]

15 flags, 20 midi files. Not sure how you can match them up.

I think we have the same
