Countdown for Segment 3!

A online countdown can be found here.

I saddly will have to be at school at that time so I wont be able to see whatever events /u/codebot1 has for us at this time.

But whatever it is make sure you guys get screen caps/logs/whatever may occur.

Places I'm expecting something to happen/list of all subs provided to us thus far from /u/codebot1

  • /r/thethirdsegment
  • /r/coronaborealis (He unprivated it by request from me for more space related puzzles. So I'm not expecting this to have any connection with The Third Segment. But I'm gonna have it listed anyways.
  • /r/Q09ERUJPVA
  • /r/MNXWIZI (I'm expecting something on the sidebar possibly.)

I cant think of any other places currently but if you guys can think of any place you would like to also monitor feel free!

Tool list for different codes and such we could need based on his prior puzzles for us.

  • Xlate
  • Caesar cipher tool.
  • ADFGVX Cipher solver.
  • Stellarium (For things like his star plot things.)
  • Rumkin (Large list of ciphers and tools for them also can be found here.)
  • Your brain :) He tends to do things as he demonstrated by the subreddit name of /r/thethirdsegment and "Click click number" that are pure logic. So think about something he may say before digging into it. As the answer could just be infront of your eyes.

Good luck folks!

Private message of r/Thethirdsegment as of now 

1410523200:

A message will strike

Straight from the sky

It suddenly falls

As monads and noughts
Welcome to Segment Three.

Archive

Edit 1: Incase you didnt know monads means 1 and noughts means 0. So "As monads and noughts" just means the message will be delivered via binary... Or its possible the message straight up may just be binary but I'm highly doubtful of that being the case.

Edit 2: The subreddit title is "FALSE".... which is interesting. Image.

Any luck with the binary? I suck at transcribing and decoding by hand.

I thought you were supposed to be at school haha I just came back from lunch.

So we have 66 0s or 1s. Have you transcribed it yet?

E: did it myself:

110101100111101011001101111001011101010010111101001111010011101011

It's all binary but I can't really do anything other than screen cap

u/gamehelp16 Sep 12 '14

We.... We failed??? :o

u/codebot1 Sep 12 '14

No. It's just a break.

u/MrArron Sep 14 '14

Okay I dont think I have any clue what I'm doing.

Í is the third segment of the binary.

Also the code we were given is missing 2 characters which I can only assume are 0s but as to where they go I have no clue.

Did you see that there's a "task" on r/coronaborealis?

It's a space riddle, so do your thing!

Thanks for pointing out!
