Hints on Triple Entendre

[Mikecball]

Still on level 13. I found out that a blink is 0.864 sec, hence two blinks would be 1.728 right?

For a jiffy there are different units: physical jiffy, electronic jiffy, and a few more....

So, I tried (sepparately) all these different measures of jiffies in secs added to 1.728 secs, but i cannot get the right answer. I need a precise hint! Thanks

Google "fun and unusual measurements of weight"

I feel like a moron for asking this because I realize I shouldn't be stuck. Playing the lite version of 80's movies and I'm stuck on the early level about Goonies. I get the CBNC and I know I'm looking at the Spanish doubloon, but I can not get the answer....I've tried every character and every other answer I can think of.....what am I missing? Must be something silly...

Never mind...got it....just wasn't thinking

Any hints on Sci Fi 44 would be appreciated. I believe I have the correct movie, but have tried everything I can think of. At my wit's end.

try going to the Twilight Zone.

The only reason I think the color may have something to do with it, I only see two clues and there are usually three. I also think the
exclamation point could be the third clue. It could represent a negative, not, stop or something similar. Have found a few things with
IP, a few with bW, but nothing with all that made any sense.took pics of all of and each letter and put into google images and came up
With nothing that looked promising.
I think someone will come up with a breakthrough any month now.LOL
What do you think the first character is?

The first character is I-acute, as someone else also pointed out. If you wikipedia that character, you come up with several main languages it's used in: Faroese, Hungarian, Icelandic, Czech, Slovak, and Tatar. We're all familiar with IP (internet protocol), so I've tried to think about web-related things in those countries/languages, but there are so many threads to follow in that regard. Because of the use of the word "symbol," I wonder whether it's asking us for symbol codes in unicode or some other computer language, so I've started trying to track those down. Maybe a math equation totaling the numbers in each code?

 

[catherinelw]

FYI, here's what I come up with for ASCII and Unicode on these symbols:

I acute - U 00CD, ASCII 214 (or 205, according to MS Office)
P - U 0050; ASCII 80
! - U 0021; ASCII 33
b - U 0062; ASCII 98
W - U 0057; ASCII 87


ASCII totals 512 (or 503)
Unicode totals "CD 290", which is a model of Fender guitar. And maybe some glasses associated with Catherine Deneuve. Obviously, none of the above answers yields CBNC or anything else.

And GUESS WHAT? When I enter "ASCII", I get CBNC: "that's very close".

WOW! I am so impressed! Congratulations on all your hard work!
This now gives us a direction.

I was playing with these all afternoon yesterday and never thought to enter that. Great Work!

I'll tell you a bit of what doesn't work or get CBNC:

The ASCII codes 203 80 33 98 87 (with or without spaces, and with or without a leading zero for the two-digit codes). (Same goes for 214 for i-acute, which appears to be the outlier; 205 is the one I see most often.)

The totals (503 or 512). Most ASCII charts only go up to 255, but I found a couple that show symbols for 503 and 512 to be a strange-looking P and an A with an umlaut made of apostrophes, respectively (strange, I know). Those symbols don't work, either.

ASCII spelled in ASCII code does not work.

Entering other symbol coding language names like HTML, ASCII Hexadecimal and Octal does not work, either. "American Standard Code for Information Interchange"--what ASCII stands for--does not work.

Now, real life interferes and I have to leave this alone for a moment. Happy hunting!

Awesome work! The combined brain power goes a long way! Thanks for doing the heavy lifting....looks like 81 is crackable after all...77 has to fall too!

What is ASCII code for blue

What is ASCII code for blue

If you wanted to express this particular background color in html code it would be #364971

 

[catherinelw]

What is ASCII code for blue

Lowercase: 098 108 117 101
Uppercase: 066 076 085 069

Neither string, nor its sum, works (+/- spaces, leading zeroes, either). Capitalizing just the "b" doesn't work, either. Currently reading the entire Wikipedia page for ASCII. At least I'm learning stuff.

I'm still suffering on 81 too. No doubt we'll kick ourselves when it finally dawns but if ascii is so very close then what can it be? I've been looking at the ascii variants like extended, ansi, European accented versions, logos, symbols and heaven knows what else but no luck yet. Someone please put this one to bed!

I have checked out Bob Bemer, who invented ascii, Bill Blue who developed ascii express, and come up with nothing.
I thought Bill Blue was interesting because of his last name. Not that easy!
Did find the the closest color for #364971 was dark slate blue.
I am still stuck thinking the background color means something, but absolutely nothing supports this theory.
What shall I try next?
