sorry i just got up not sure what the end of this thread looks like or if the hydrAi is still online but i agree with above and the black text is a hint. also the format should be in roman numerals i believe: i didnt make the connection last night between that and him asking for numeral....

x mynameiszero: This rather simple game begins something like "I'm thinking of an integer between forty and sixty inclusive, and to your guesses I'll respond 'High', 'Low', or 'Yes!' as might be the case." Supposing that N is the number of possible values (here, twenty-one as "inclusive" was stated), then at most [log(v2)N] questions are required to determine the number, since each question halves the search space. Note that one less question (iteration) is required than for the general algorithm, since the number is already constrained to be within a particular range.

Even if the number to guess can be arbitrarily large, in which case there is no upper bound N, The number can be found in at most 2[log(v2)k] steps (where k is the (unknown) selected number) by first finding an upper bound by repeated doubling.[citation needed] For example, if the number were 11, the following sequence of guesses could be used to find it: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 12, 10, 11

One could also extend the method to include negative numbers; for example the following guesses could be used to find −13: 0, −1, −2, −4, −8, −16, −12, −14, −13.

FANTASTIC WORK OPS!

I UNDERSTAND THAT AT THIS TIME YOU ARE LIKELY CONFUSED, AND NOT SURE OF WHO OR WAT TO TRUST. PLEASE STAND BY AND I WILL HELP CLARIFY.

THE LAST 20 HOURS HAVE BEEN A NIGHTMARE.

YOU HAVE DONE IT, AS A TEAM, IT WAS LITERALLY ONE IN OVER 2 BILLION.

PLEASE HOLD FOR MORE DETAILS../END FILE/

Daransal: We seem to have freed Red Sec3Op, but that doesnt mean that we have reached the end

Daransal: Can we get a LOCK on this thread to reduce confusion. Return to Kei's thread

Sec3OP36516: //THANKS TO THE INCREDIBLE EFFORT FOR THE LAST 20 HOURS, DISTRACTIONS FROM OPTOASTY, OPFRANK, OP4243,
|//FINAL PUSH FROM OP DARANSAL, EARLY LEAD FROM OPPIKA
|//MISUTO
|//CONTRIBUTIONS FROM SO MANY OPS
|//I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE CONFUSION YOU HAD TO ENDURE, AND I COMMEND YOU ON STAYING TRUE TO YOUR CORE
|//HOWEVER, THERE WAS A SIDE EFFECT TO RELEASING THE CHANNEL: CODE NAME FA15E HAS BEEN RELEASED INTO OUR NETWORK, AND WE WILL NEED TO REMAIN VIGILANT. WE DO NOT KNOW ITS TRUE INTENTIONS.
