19:13:08 A: a is caseyt and sarah
19:13:21 C: b is colin & aaron
19:13:25 A: let's do 5-by-five firsdt?
19:13:42 C: seems reasonable
19:13:45 B: ok
19:13:52 C: lets read the help first, maybe?
19:14:03 A: stuff eith mouser-over
19:14:03 C: beep beep 
19:14:07 A: *with
19:14:15 A: that's the only clue we have
19:14:27 S: Clients started FiveByFive
19:15:04 A: everyone take their mouses off the screec
19:15:08 D: any1 figures wats happening?
19:15:13 A: then lets try one at a time, and all together
19:15:23 D: go in order abcd
19:15:24 B: A go.
19:15:24 A: ok, A go first
19:15:24 C: Should we try to trace out a pattern?
19:15:35 B: A stop
19:15:40 B: B Go.
19:15:42 D: pstternd
19:15:55 A: we see pink squares
19:16:05 C: so yea, pink squares.  and at one point we had red squares.
19:16:08 D: me 2
19:16:11 B: C go.
19:16:16 A: well basically it's more like faded red than pink.
19:16:20 A: and then eventually it turns real red
19:16:25 B: C stop.
19:16:34 B: Okay, here's what we're going to do.
19:16:40 B: Everyone take your mice off the screen.
19:16:57 B: When I say go, everyone put your mouse at the bottom left corner and hold it there.
19:17:03 B: And we see what happens.
19:17:04 B: Okay?
19:17:05 C: no clicking, just hover?
19:17:11 B: just hovering
19:17:11 A: yes
19:17:24 B: Okay, go ahead. Bottom left.
19:17:35 C: cute
19:17:35 B: cllick now
19:17:46 A: the clue says just mouse-over
19:17:53 B: Okay, move one square to the right now.
19:17:54 C: yea, seems pretty reasonable
19:18:35 A: so 1 person makes pnk, 2 red, 3 maroon, 4 black
19:18:48 A: so lets fill it up
19:19:02 A: fill the black squares from bottom to top, left to right and then right to left
19:19:07 C: is everyone on bottom right?
19:19:08 A: so the next will be right above the maroon square
19:19:13 D: yaa
19:19:14 B: Oh my goodness. We would have done a million rows by now if you weren't talking.
19:19:14 A: we're going to finish that one off right now
19:19:21 C: maroon, eh?  i think we're missing something
19:19:50 S: Clients hacked FiveByFive
19:20:48 S: Clients started FiveByFive
19:21:08 B: Whoa, why are we doing five by five again?
19:21:16 C: theory is that we need to repeat it multiple times?
19:21:16 A: we opened 5-by-5 again to see about a help dislogue
19:21:21 C: its in crapuhack
19:21:26 A: and now there's no way to close it...
19:21:29 D: iwait i think i judt found out
19:21:35 D: my connection with gc is lost
19:21:37 B: Okay, instead of answering that, let's just finish it. Everyone start in the bottom left again.
19:21:37 A: yeah, and there's nothing to add
19:21:40 D: thts not allowed
19:21:50 D: wait a sec
19:22:32 S: Clients hacked FiveByFive
19:22:43 C: coool, same error
19:22:52 D: but there was a missing block
19:22:55 D: 1,2
19:23:05 B: yes, we saw it
19:23:06 A: for us it was the middle
19:23:13 A: wait, maybe not
19:23:18 C: middle column, 2nd bottom row
19:23:23 B: we learned something from 5x5, keep that in mind. now lets do another game?
19:23:31 A: that sounds about right
19:23:35 C: aye
19:23:41 A: pong!

19:30:01 C: Fri Sep 23, Wed Nov 9
19:30:01 A: oh n/m
19:30:05 D: i typed out mine..
19:30:10 A: :/ your messages showed up wierd
19:30:44 D: u guys have the dates?
19:30:49 A: i guess I meant b?
19:30:52 D: k
19:30:58 A: everyone typed them out but B
19:31:34 B: We're on it: Jan 20, Apr. 16 & 18, Jun 9,13, Jul. 5, Nov. 4, Dec. 1 & 20.
19:31:38 C: Can the person with 2006 verify that the calendar is correct?
19:31:48 D: lemme see
19:31:52 C: i.e. there is a Sunday July 30?  (i think :))
19:32:08 B: 'A programmer on the inside somehow encoded instructions for hacking this tool directly'
19:32:13 D: it is correct..
19:32:15 A: group the dates by month
19:32:19 A: i bet it spells words
19:32:33 C: ftw
19:32:42 A: ?
19:32:48 C: yeah, ib et you're right
19:33:09 B: does anyone have any bolded dates over the 26th of the month?
19:33:15 C: no
19:33:23 B: Cause we could have 12 words, with days mapping to alphabet.
19:33:40 A: who has them all written down?
19:33:46 D: gc: adams' in the room now..
19:33:54 B: Is someone crunching the numbers, or should we paste them all into here as we call out months?
19:34:01 D: gc: u can call adams' cell phone if needed..
19:34:03 A: i think we should call out months
19:34:14 C: i have them written down and am working on them
19:34:22 B: ok, we'll leave you to it then, C
19:34:29 C: i'm touched
19:34:29 D: ignore the gc messages... meant for gc only..
19:34:52 S: Thanks.  If there's a clear problem (i.e. an exception), just close the client, wait two minutes, then reconnect.
19:35:06 S: That was directed at yellow, thanks.
19:35:13 A: casey has our own dates spelling "select last"
19:35:19 A: so maybe everyone decodes their own
19:35:25 B: ok, working
19:35:29 C: cool
19:35:30 A: except the 'T' in last
19:35:46 A: "SELECT LAS"
19:35:59 C: was the roundabout explanation really necessary?
19:36:00 C: :P
19:36:17 A: i was typing as we realized :P
19:36:25 D: is it the first letter of the date?
19:36:43 D: or day?
19:37:01 A: i don't understand what you're asking
19:37:24 C: E IN MONTH WI
19:37:40 C: put your bold dates in a row, ordered by the order in which they occured in the calendar
19:37:45 D: how do u get the spelling?
19:37:47 C: then turn them into letters from the alpha
19:37:49 D: k
19:37:58 A: just the day, not the month
19:37:58 B: We have: TPRINEDAT
19:38:06 C: e.g. jan 3, jan 19, feb 5, feb 7 -> 3 19 5 7
19:38:11 A: select last prime date in month wi...
19:38:46 B: sorry, so I'm an idiot, and we have "TPRIMEDAT".
19:40:01 B: ... and everyone falls asleep at the keyboards.
19:40:03 B: :)
19:40:15 B: Just waiting on Akshay, methinks.
19:40:24 C: teehee.   aaron is passing in and out of reality
19:40:52 B: laughs. Get icecubes from kitchen freezer and put down his shirt?
19:41:07 D: i hsve them in sorted order.. 
19:41:18 A: select last prime date in month with no bolds?
19:41:35 D: ohh
19:42:10 D: well then i get jsn 29..how does it give an alphabet
19:42:12 D: wrapping..
19:42:20 D: its jan 29..
19:42:25 B: I wonder what happens if we all select that date and leave it selected collectively?
19:42:31 A: we have 5 months with no bolds...
19:42:33 C: for me, decemb er has no bolds
19:42:36 C: and others, too
19:42:46 D: i hsve bolds in dec..
19:42:46 C: 5 eh?
19:42:50 C: what's the intersection of bolded months
19:42:50 A: lets find the one month no one has bolds
19:43:02 A: 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 11 for us
19:43:02 D: i got 5 with bolds..
19:43:27 B: Everyone, list you months with no bolds.
19:43:31 D: apr, july, aug, oct, dec have bolds in 2006...
19:43:39 C: jan, feb, apr, june, july, oct, dec
19:43:43 B: I'll take ownership of finding crossection
19:43:44 A: WITHOUT bolds
19:44:05 D: jan, feb, march, may, june, sept, nov 2006..
19:44:32 B: nobody has a bold in FEb
19:44:54 C: feb 23 - makes it interesting too
19:45:06 A: ok, everyone select feb 23
19:45:11 B: yes, I have a leap year.
19:45:19 S: Clients hacked DateSploit
19:45:20 C: ha, cute
19:45:27 D: nice
19:45:54 A: so we both open the about dialogues?
19:45:59 A: i mean, all?
19:46:10 A: let's try the last one
19:46:15 B: later on that. we'll do the next puzzle
19:46:18 C: more hacks, n'est-ce pas?
19:46:20 D: wat r u programs named?
19:46:25 S: Clients started IntrasolarThermonuclearWarfare
19:46:31 D: mines called crap u hack
19:47:10 A: yep
19:47:15 A: everybody point up
19:47:31 D: let 1 person move at once
19:48:03 C: it seems silly to point up
19:48:09 C: when we have these handy dandy positions
19:48:10 A: yes, i deidn't get it
19:48:19 A: but I don't think we can go one at a time
19:48:28 D: am at the top ill keep pointing up
19:48:44 C: yes - but you just all have to agree to fire in order to fire
19:48:45 B: Read the instructions in hacker. Use the arrow keys for force/direction of shot. 
19:48:50 C: you don't have to be pointing up
19:48:54 B: Shot won't fire till all players have hit space.
19:48:58 A: our arrow keys aren't changing the angle/power'
19:49:09 C: is the window focussed?
19:49:09 B: *shrugs* Try it anyway?
19:49:26 A: yeah... we'll hit space and see
19:49:42 D: press space and use up arrow to increase power... tht makes sense??
19:50:35 A: so aer the targets the red balls?
19:50:36 B: Nice shot, blue one.
19:51:19 A: person on the top, don't aim for that on
19:51:21 D: keep shooting
19:51:26 A: we're on the right, and that's all we can hit
19:51:29 A: aim for the one above
19:51:33 D: k ill aim on the other side
19:51:46 D: cant change for this fire
19:51:50 A: ok
19:52:14 D: bottom guy isnt ready to fire
19:52:51 D: if the trajectory is lower, does it go straighter??
19:53:16 C: don't think so - it's a knockoff of some other game where the blue bodies exert gravity
19:53:24 D: get tht
19:53:31 C: in the words of our favourite shelbyvillian... "shoot hahduh"
19:53:34 B: We can't hit target bottom left, I don't think. C, can you take it?
19:54:00 C: sure
19:54:06 B: Gonna try to wrap it around the planet.
19:54:44 D: i am trying the top left corner 1 now..
19:56:08 B: Nice shot, C. Thanks.
19:57:53 B: It's all up to you now, C and D.
19:58:08 B: You know what this little blue station reminds me of? a deathstar.
19:58:11 C: slackers.  don't blame gravity for your weaknesses
19:58:59 A: top missile guy, you should try putting your power to the max, 200
19:59:18 D: its not going up..
19:59:22 D: up arrow?
19:59:27 A: right arrow
19:59:50 D: got it
20:00:54 A: blue is smart and cool

20:01:01 B: w00t
20:01:10 A: wow, loot
20:01:49 S: Clients started FourTris
20:03:15 B: dont get lines!
20:03:16 B: save up for a tetris
20:03:20 C: so, um, perhaps we should have a sync uup to ensure our goals are in alignment
20:03:26 B: The object of this game is clear five lines at once.
20:03:30 B: Then we can hack the server.
20:03:34 B: So stop clearing single lines.
20:03:48 C: B, pretty sure it's just four
20:04:15 B: Our doc says five.
20:04:52 C: Nope, you're right
20:05:14 B: someone dump a 4-piece in that slot when youget a chence
20:05:25 C: only if someone follows with the necessary bit
20:05:26 A: !!!
20:05:50 C: propose we start over
20:05:54 A: we had it :(
20:06:05 C: and ensure people are on the same playing field
20:06:09 D: k
20:06:12 B: sure, let it time out and end
20:06:12 A: how do you restart
20:06:24 A: D, we need to get 4 rows at a time
20:06:35 A: you blocked the 4 lot thast was about to win
20:06:43 A: 4 slot
20:08:11 B: fill the gap on the right ,fast
20:08:12 B: thanks
20:08:15 B: in we go!
20:08:24 B: doh
20:08:28 C: ah, 5 <> 6
20:09:03 A: you all realize down = faster
20:09:42 C: boo lag!
20:09:48 B: I propose we build a slot on the far right
20:10:41 B: then arrange for a 4-line tetris and the next line to move in one time
20:12:14 A: how?
20:12:30 B: We need to build one FIVE deep.
20:12:39 B: Since there are four of us, we can drop one on top of the other.
20:12:51 B: So if you see one four deep, DO NOT clear it.
20:13:06 B: Make one which is FIVE deep.
20:13:12 B: And then stack the blocks on top of each other.
20:13:18 B: So that we can clear them all.
20:13:36 C: OK, we're set up again
20:14:36 C: askshay sower
20:14:45 C: akshay, you need to time it such that you have 5 vertically stacked *in midair*
20:14:49 C: otherwise you can't get 5 at once
20:14:51 B: Akshay, someone needs to ride on top of you.
20:14:58 B: So if you rush into the hole, we can't win..
20:15:04 A: you needs to be dropping RIGHT WITH the green
20:15:35 C: akshay can you confirm taht you're understanding?
20:15:39 C: cos we can try to explain with some visuals
20:15:39 D: ys
20:17:11 C: nice deadlock resoloution, casey & co
20:17:31 C: akshay no
20:17:32 B: Akshay, back off. Go on the right.
20:18:37 C: good to go
20:18:47 C: keep the middle clear unless you are straight
20:18:50 B: Now watch for someone with a long piece.
20:18:58 C: follow me in
20:19:12 C: tada
20:19:26 S: Clients hacked FourTris
20:19:40 B: Great job
20:19:53 A: open about eeryone
20:20:23 C: theories - do we need to do the exploit as a group to?
20:20:25 C: er, too
20:20:43 A: i think so.  i can't do anything on the help dialogue myself
20:20:43 C: duh
20:20:47 C: it says you need two clients
20:20:55 A: A and C?
20:21:02 C: sure lemme finish reading the bugs
20:21:08 A: ok
20:21:10 D: me 2 reading them
20:21:46 C: takes all four
20:21:51 C: everyone's a winner
20:22:09 D: anyone see a setbox??
20:22:30 D: i think the messages form some sequence
20:22:38 B: ok, someone who thinks they know how to hack it give out roles to people here, and we'll do it toget
20:22:39 B: together.
20:22:47 C: Sweet, I get to boss people around
20:22:55 S: Clients found About egg!
20:22:55 C: There are 3 roles, 4 lights and no spoon.
20:23:01 B: I second that. C, go for it.
20:23:10 C: ...but we only need to care about the roles
20:23:20 C: 2 people go into the about dialog and trigger the initial stuff
20:23:23 A: we get a password dialogue not
20:23:29 C: I propose that be me and A
20:23:31 A: what should we type in?
20:23:35 A: *now
20:23:46 C: Once we've done that, a third person cracks the door open
20:23:58 C: Then the fourth person grabs the server memory
20:24:11 C: Now auditioning... who wants to be the 3rd person and who wants to be the 4th person?
20:24:20 C: B/D - pick one, I'll tell you waht to do
20:24:22 D: ill crack the door
20:24:26 C: marvellous
20:24:41 C: by virtue of not being able to touch type, B is the person who gets the memory dump
20:24:48 B: I'll take the initial triggers
20:25:00 C: Nah, you won't
20:25:02 B: or okay. 
20:25:03 A: so are we not going in order a,b,c,d?
20:25:13 C: That's far too logical a mapping of roles
20:25:27 C: OK, so me and A are going to open our about boxes
20:25:42 C: we're going to click on the 6, then the 0, then the other 0, then the 2
20:25:58 C: and we will enter in the phrase %s",sendText+"
20:26:11 C: this should start something interesting happening in our chat windows
20:26:28 C: At this point, A and C cease having to do stuff other than keep their windows open
20:26:37 A: I want to make sure that that string was correct, because nothing happened when I entered that phras
20:26:41 C: takes 2 people at once
20:26:45 S: Adam, when this is over call me on my conference phone, x21478.
20:26:48 A: did you not just do it?
20:27:04 A: can you send that string with ** at start and finish
20:27:07 A: so we can be sure what to type
20:27:15 D: adam acknowledges
20:27:23 C: **%s",sendText+"**
20:27:28 C: we will both enter it and hit set
20:27:33 C: i imagine the chat window will see that this has happened
20:27:35 C: if not, we will announce it
20:27:36 A: ok, now?
20:27:39 C: no
20:27:42 C: then A and C will just sit idle
20:27:46 C: ..and D will come along!
20:27:48 A: say go
20:28:10 C: D will randomly spam the chat channel with the phrase password
20:28:20 C: at least once every 2 seconds for at least 10 times
20:28:28 D: k
20:28:29 B: /dumpmem!
20:28:32 C: in fact, D will just keep spamming it every second until we tell him to stop or his RSI kicks in
20:28:38 C: then B will type /dumpmem
20:28:51 A: got it
20:28:52 C: now, I know we're all super smart engineer types (FourTris to the contrary), and this'll be a breeze
20:29:03 D: do we say when i go..
20:29:07 C: Yup, we'll let ya know
20:29:10 D: a & c??
20:29:11 D: k
20:29:14 C: So, A and I will now go
20:29:41 A: done
20:29:55 C: A, please close window
20:29:59 C: As it turns out, we can't inform you
20:30:03 C: Because we have modal dialogs
20:30:11 A: close what window?
20:30:12 C: I believe you can test that we have done it by seinding text to the client
20:30:20 C: (the Help->About dialog)
20:30:22 A: i entered the passworf, hit set and then ok
20:30:25 C: and it should be echoed back
20:30:29 C: So... don't close the dialog
20:30:32 A: ok
20:30:38 A: try again then
20:30:42 C: Mea culpa; let's do a take 2
20:30:49 B: /dumpmem
20:30:54 C: We'll go - D just start spamming password once per second
20:31:01 C: B, you need to wait at least 10 seconds (15 to be safe)
20:31:04 C: go
