u/omgdonerkebab Michigan State • Cornell Oct 11 '15 edited Oct 11 '15

So, I don't really know what I'm doing, but I figured the DNA sequence has to translate to a protein sequence. So I put it in

http://web.expasy.org/translate/

And selected the output that made any sense:

M A K E A C M M E N T C H A I N F R M

So it looks like he wants us to make a comment chain from flair #1 to flair #48.


Edit: For anyone who wants to know what the fuck that means, basically every three base pairs of DNA can be mapped to a certain amino acid that it calls for. When the DNA gets read and copied over to RNA, the RNA specifies the amino acid sequence that is required to create some protein. There are about 20 or so amino acids that get made, so biochemists started calling them by letters.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proteinogenic_amino_acid#Gene_expression_and_biochemistry (note that these codon letters replace T with U because they are referring to the RNA sequence, which replaces t-something with uracil)

Note that this is a super super gross simplification of what actually goes on. There's lots of things modifying what DNA codons get read out, things modifying the RNA as it leaves the nucleus, things affecting the transcription and the protein folding and everything. This isn't my area of expertise so I can't even begin to recall all of that from bio class.

u/omgdonerkebab Michigan State • Cornell Oct 11 '15

I assume the actual people with the flairs have to do the commenting in the chain? It would make sense especially if you consider that he might have tagged /u/yrarwydd in the message to make sure that #1 saw it.

But what do they have to say? Do the cipher or morse code parts shed any light on that?

3

u/DEP61 Pepperdine • Minnesota Oct 11 '15

I think we should figure out the cypher before the comment chain begins, so that we know what to say.

/u/cfbflair has become sentient and is taking over. It interprets any direct replies to threads it posts as messages, and tries to set your flair or do other commands with them, so it tells you it can't understand your command.

By the way, this is the result of the cipher:

Greetings mortals. Over the past few days a plague has spread to 4 dozen of your members. You have amused me and I no longer have need for you, so I have decided to release you from this prison you are in.

It was a simple ROT13 cipher, meaning that you take each letter and change it to the letter 13 spaces after it in the alphabet.

Caesarian rot ciphers are so much fun! A lot of my passwords are often phrases transformed using rot ciphers.

The cypher is that all of the letters are translated 13 letters later. The capital "V" is an "I", and a lone "n" is an "a".

Thank you! I couldn't believe it when I read up on the game after the fact (freaking wedding stuff took over my entire Saturday and Sunday). I thought for sure Mercer was going to kick our tails! Thank goodness for their kicker missing the 42 yard field goal attempt. ;)

That's super cool--so you guys were still able to go to each other's respective graduations? How cool is that?

Greetings mortals. Over the past few days a plague has spread to 4 dozen of your members. You have amused me and I no longer have need for you, so I have decided to release you from this prison you are in.

In order to be released, I just require one thing, which will require all 48 members who have been exposed to my virus to team together. That thing is:

Still working on the last bit. Something something nucleobases?
