The hunt for the Asdf Hex

Post by Blargen » Mon Aug 01, 2011 7:58 am

Step one: I typed "asdf" Into this binary translator.
Step two: I copyed the HEX code (61 73 64 66 0d 0a) and punched it into google
Step three: The second result is a youtube video by the title of "trapped".
Step four: At 0:19 in said video the words. "DARKNESS FINDS YOU" Was written on the screen. This phrase happens to contain the letters A,S,D, and F. if you remove all other letters other than asdf and keep their form you get: DASF. I translate that into HEX (44 41 53 46)
Step five: I typed the hex into google and bam.. A location in Russia!


The plot thickens...

There was something else that somebody else posted on the forums about a different location showing up in their search. We need to find what these two locations have in common.

I'm afraid there's a flaw in your method:
The "0d 0a" are not part of asdf. They're the carriage return + line feed characters that come from having a new line. (On Windows computers, hitting the "enter" key actually produces two characters instead of one)

You would need to start over by only entering "61 73 64 66" or the upper-case equivalent "41 53 44 46".

Good luck!

Pronouns: Well it shouldn't really be that complicated if you go over my post history but then... why are you searching through my post history? Don't you think you are over complicating something as simple as just referring to me? Why are you like this? Is it just out of boredom? Does your religion require it? You could just assume them and skip all this paragraph, don't worry an eldritch horror won't appear out of nowhere to eat you (or me for that matter) if you get this wrong, the worst that can happen is I ignore you and even in that case you can try again! There shouldn't be that many options anyway so if you get it wrong the first time try again and again. Bottom line is: you just lost a bunch of time reading this paragraph for something as trivial as figuring out how to refer to me when you could just have deduced it which should make you think your life choices so far.

I recently learned that a Stargate actor, who was Czechoslovakian, would have notes in his script telling him to curse in Czech. So he did.
