8 times I've tried to solve this problem and look at this
god awful chessboard. No wonder I can't solve it. I don't think
1 person can when it's this scrambled up.
Come on, I really need some help figuring this out. If
everyone at least tries, there might be Kerbal Space Program to win.
Solution:
This is a binary puzzle, which I think most understood rather quickly. It uses the 1-8 and A-H from a chessboard.
One of the most important hints was that 42 is reverse C. 42 in binary (as could be seen on my tattoo) is 00101010. Now look at my board and check column C. Counting black as 0 and white as 1 you can see that we have that binary number on that row. And because I said it's REVERSE C, it means that it's 42 if you read it from top to bottom. A chessboard is numbered from bottom to top, so you would normally read it the other way around.
Now that you understand how to read the binary on the board, we need to find which rows and columns to use. That's where the text comes in. Each row starts with the coordinate to use. 8g1Ce, row 8, column g, row 1, column c, column e.
And that's it. Translate the binary that you get from that and you have your GA-code. Hope you enjoyed this brain teaser, even if you weren't able to solve it. :)
