Same here... Actually I used Steganabara first, because I ran into it before entering the Stegsolve folder. Somehow I sorted the folder by date... :) Although its been while, I'll answer the question anyway. In Stegsolve you can choose between red plane 1 and red plane 0. Don't know about any comman...

I solved it by hand, too. It was quite easy to spot the "the" and after that there was a "T___THE_", that could only be "together". From that point it was quite straight forward. I needed to read the forum anyway, because I wasn't sure about what to do next... There is ...

This one was quite funny... I thought I had tweaked it enough to run it in an acceptable amount of time. After some minutes of running I got curious if I missed some detail and wanted to get some of the original numbers to check my calculation. After I restored the initial (just little improved) cod...

Well, it might happen that wolfram-alpha will solve bigger fib in some years. It certainly takes another while, till this one will be solved... I had a more complicated approach to this. I first got the log of two large enough (i think it was 1000 and 1001) adjacent fibs, and calculated the differen...

Actually, he is not nearly right, but completely right, since the answer should be rounded to 3 decimals. :-)

In the meantime I have solved this too... Found quite an easy way to conquer it. Was even solving biggest fib in less than 5 minutes, following the same plan...

Maybe there are even harder challenges, ok. But in north there is only "say it" (solved by 4) pointing to the east. And from the east I hoped to get some new challenges after solving this one. One of the two seems to be practically unsolvable and the other one is (my favourite discipline) ...

After a deeper look, I managed to solve it by hand... I hoped for more challenges to the north-west, but seems I get stuck there once again, since the crypto was only solved 10 times...

Hi, I thought I had the correct formula to get it. But as it turned out, I forgot about a special feature about big numbers. I checked my calculation and noticed that my evaluation of the sequence isnt correct anyway. It gives me the correct values up to 89 though. So I'm not sure, if stubborn Vista...

Hmm, the last reply isnt very old. Is it really working? At first I tried to get the right digits, but the server wasnt answering my request. So I tried just to get the first digit... Again neither a response nor a timeout. I also added some information for the server to know the "length" ...

I got stuck on this, too... (Bigger Fib) I think I have done the right calculation, but it tell me I'm false. :-( Does the correct number have the same two digits at the beginning and right before the decimal point? (like 72xxxxxxxx72.xxxxx) Don't want to spoil something, but I may have a problem wi...
