<p>This is a regular game of Go Fish, except that every player cheats exactly once, telling another player to “go fish” when they actually had one of the requested cards (noted with ***, below). There is one cheating incident in each of the 5 turns. Translate cards to letters (Ace=A, 2=B, 3=C, etc.) and order them in player table order to get the answer AHEAD.</p>

<p>This is a regular game of Go Fish, except that every player cheats exactly once, telling another player to “go fish” when they actually had one of the requested cards (noted with ***, below). There is one cheating incident in each of the 5 turns. Translate cards to letters (Ace=A, 2=B, 3=C, etc.) and order them in player table order to get the answer AHEAD.</p>

<ol>
|

<li>A word indicating that you did not hit anything (MISS, VACANT, SPLASH, BUNGLE, EMPTY, or WATER)</li>
|
| 141 |
+
<li>A word that is just one letter off from the name of a type of boat or ship.</li>
|
| 142 |
+
</ol>

|
| 141 |
+
<li>A word that is just one letter off from the name of a type of boat or ship.</li>

These extracted letters spell words that are laid out like ships on a Battleship board. Again, the words are one letter off of the name of a ship or boat. Order the "boats" by letter length to extract the answer:
|
| 303 |

+
tux to TUG = G<br>
|
| 305 |
+
rift to RAFT = A<br>
|

+
steak to STEAM = M<br>
|
| 307 |
+
tinder to TENDER = E
|
| 308 |
+
<p>
|
| 309 |

<h2>Solution - Unimaginably Twisted Files</h2>
|
| 108 |
+
<p class="answer">by Joseph DeVincentis</p>

+
<p class="answer" id="answer_151">Answer: Click here to reveal</p>
|
| 110 |
+
</div>
|
| 111 |
+
<div class="content">
|
| 112 |
+
<p>The first step in solving this puzzle is diagnosing just what is wrong with
|
| 113 |
+
the file. Depending on your browser or text file viewer, you may be able to
|
| 114 |
+
read certain characters, but for the most part you will just see blanks or
|
| 115 |
+
replacement characters. The file begins with a UTF-8 byte order mark, but
|
| 116 |
+
the content of the file is not valid. The key is that the entire file is
|
| 117 |
+
encoded using what the UTF-8 standard calls <i>overlong sequences</i>.</p>
|
| 118 |
+
<p>UTF-8 uses a variable number of bytes to encode each character. The number
|
| 119 |
+
of bytes used depends on the numerical value of that character. Characters
|
| 120 |
+
up to 127 are encoded in a single character, making it compatible with
|
| 121 |
+
ASCII. Characters a little larger than that are encoded with two bytes,
|
| 122 |
+
using bytes in the range 128-255, where the first byte also encodes how
|
| 123 |
+
many bytes make up this character. The next range of characters is encoded
|
| 124 |
+
in three bytes, and beyond that, four bytes are used</p>
|
| 125 |
+
<p>Specifically, the way these multi-byte encodings work is as follows:</p>
|
| 126 |
+
<ul>
|
| 127 |
+
<li>110xxxxx 10xxxxxx encodes a two-byte character, where the x's
|
| 128 |
+
represent 11 bits of the character value.</li>
|
| 129 |
+
<li>1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx encodes character values up to 16 bits
|
| 130 |
+
in three bytes.</li>
|
| 131 |
+
<li>11110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx encodes character values up to
|
| 132 |
+
21 bits in four bytes.</li>
|
| 133 |
+
</ul>
|
| 134 |
+
<p>The standard goes on to define five-byte and six-byte encodings as well,
|
| 135 |
+
but subsequently a limit was placed on Unicode which makes those encodings
|
| 136 |
+
never valid. However, it is possible to use these (or the other encodings
|
| 137 |
+
above) to encode characters using more bytes than necessary. For instance,
|
| 138 |
+
you could encode an ASCII space, 00100000, as 11000000 10100000. The
|
| 139 |
+
standard declares such "overlong sequences" invalid.</p>
|
| 140 |
+
<p>The file in this puzzle is a UTF-8 text file in which many characters are
|
| 141 |
+
encoded using overlong sequences which are just one byte too long. When you
|
| 142 |
+
manage to convert it to a valid text file, you get the following:</p>
|
| 143 |
+
<img src="images/solution_chars.png"/>
|
| 144 |
+
<p>Actually, you get several repetitions of that, each using different
|
| 145 |
+
lookalike characters which (to varying degrees) resemble the letters
|
| 146 |
+
they are supposed to be. When you manage to interpret this correctly,
|
| 147 |
+
what you get is:</p>
|
| 148 |
+
<blockquote>
|
| 149 |
+
Some things are not as they seem to be. This holds true in many aspects
|
| 150 |
+
of life, as it does here. Sometimes, things are not as they seem due to
|
| 151 |
+
natural occurrences, but most often, somebody is trying to hide something.
|
| 152 |
+
For instance, people wear disguises when they want to appear as other
|
| 153 |
+
people, or simply not be recognized for who they are. You might say that
|
| 154 |
+
this text is a disguise, but it is an unusually helpful one, as by
|
| 155 |
+
reading closely, you may discover much about the nature of the true text
|
| 156 |
+
you have yet to read. "Bad, bad text," you say. You had to fix all those
|
| 157 |
+
errors. So many complaints about things being too long. Making a character
|
| 158 |
+
be the right length is nothing. Making it be too long is really something!
|
| 159 |
+
Don't go overboard, though; just one extra byte's enough. Each one of
|
| 160 |
+
us contributes just a little bit to the complete disguise, but in the
|
| 161 |
+
end it's all there. Finally, the disguise is too short, so it is repeated
|
| 162 |
+
many times over. This may help you deal with parts of the disguise you
|
| 163 |
+
can't figure out.
|
| 164 |
+
</blockquote>
|
| 165 |
+
<p>What this message is trying to tell you is that there is a hidden text
|
| 166 |
+
underlying the one you are reading. The encoding works as follows:
|
| 167 |
+
For each character encoded correctly, write a zero bit.
|
| 168 |
+
For each character encoded in an overlong sequence, write a one bit.</p>
|
| 169 |
+
<p>The result of this is a list of Unicode character names, encoded using
|
| 170 |
+
lookalike characters again. Ultimately, this results in this list:</p>

<h2>Solution - Unimaginably Twisted Files</h2>
|
| 108 |
+
<p class="answer">by Joseph DeVincentis</p>
|
| 109 |
+
<p class="answer" id="answer_151">Answer: Click here to reveal</p>
|
| 110 |
+
</div>
|
| 111 |
+
<div class="content">
|
| 112 |
+
<p>The first step in solving this puzzle is diagnosing just what is wrong with
|
| 113 |
+
the file. Depending on your browser or text file viewer, you may be able to
|
| 114 |
+
read certain characters, but for the most part you will just see blanks or
|
| 115 |
+
replacement characters. The file begins with a UTF-8 byte order mark, but
|
| 116 |
+
the content of the file is not valid. The key is that the entire file is
|
| 117 |
+
encoded using what the UTF-8 standard calls <i>overlong sequences</i>.</p>
|
| 118 |
+
<p>UTF-8 uses a variable number of bytes to encode each character. The number
|
| 119 |
+
of bytes used depends on the numerical value of that character. Characters
|
| 120 |
+
up to 127 are encoded in a single character, making it compatible with
|
| 121 |
+
ASCII. Characters a little larger than that are encoded with two bytes,
|
| 122 |
+
using bytes in the range 128-255, where the first byte also encodes how
|
| 123 |
+
many bytes make up this character. The next range of characters is encoded
|
| 124 |
+
in three bytes, and beyond that, four bytes are used</p>
|
| 125 |
+
<p>Specifically, the way these multi-byte encodings work is as follows:</p>
|
| 126 |
+
<ul>
|
| 127 |
+
<li>110xxxxx 10xxxxxx encodes a two-byte character, where the x's
|
| 128 |
+
represent 11 bits of the character value.</li>
|
| 129 |
+
<li>1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx encodes character values up to 16 bits
|
| 130 |
+
in three bytes.</li>
|
| 131 |
+
<li>11110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx encodes character values up to
|
| 132 |
+
21 bits in four bytes.</li>
|
| 133 |
+
</ul>
|
| 134 |
+
<p>The standard goes on to define five-byte and six-byte encodings as well,
|
| 135 |
+
but subsequently a limit was placed on Unicode which makes those encodings
|
| 136 |
+
never valid. However, it is possible to use these (or the other encodings
|
| 137 |
+
above) to encode characters using more bytes than necessary. For instance,
|
| 138 |
+
you could encode an ASCII space, 00100000, as 11000000 10100000. The
|
| 139 |
+
standard declares such "overlong sequences" invalid.</p>
|
| 140 |
+
<p>The file in this puzzle is a UTF-8 text file in which many characters are
|
| 141 |
+
encoded using overlong sequences which are just one byte too long. When you
|
| 142 |
+
manage to convert it to a valid text file, you get the following:</p>
|
| 143 |
+
<img src="images/solution_chars.png"/>
|
| 144 |
+
<p>Actually, you get several repetitions of that, each using different
|
| 145 |
+
lookalike characters which (to varying degrees) resemble the letters
|
| 146 |
+
they are supposed to be. When you manage to interpret this correctly,
|
| 147 |
+
what you get is:</p>
|
| 148 |
+
<blockquote>
|
| 149 |
+
Some things are not as they seem to be. This holds true in many aspects
|
| 150 |
+
of life, as it does here. Sometimes, things are not as they seem due to
|
| 151 |
+
natural occurrences, but most often, somebody is trying to hide something.
|
| 152 |
+
For instance, people wear disguises when they want to appear as other
|
| 153 |
+
people, or simply not be recognized for who they are. You might say that
|
| 154 |
+
this text is a disguise, but it is an unusually helpful one, as by
|
| 155 |
+
reading closely, you may discover much about the nature of the true text
|
| 156 |
+
you have yet to read. "Bad, bad text," you say. You had to fix all those
|
| 157 |
+
errors. So many complaints about things being too long. Making a character
|
| 158 |
+
be the right length is nothing. Making it be too long is really something!
|
| 159 |
+
Don't go overboard, though; just one extra byte's enough. Each one of
|
| 160 |
+
us contributes just a little bit to the complete disguise, but in the
|
| 161 |
+
end it's all there. Finally, the disguise is too short, so it is repeated
|
| 162 |
+
many times over. This may help you deal with parts of the disguise you
|
| 163 |
+
can't figure out.
|
| 164 |
+
</blockquote>
|
| 165 |
+
<p>What this message is trying to tell you is that there is a hidden text
|
| 166 |
+
underlying the one you are reading. The encoding works as follows:
|
| 167 |
+
For each character encoded correctly, write a zero bit.
|
| 168 |
+
For each character encoded in an overlong sequence, write a one bit.</p>
|
| 169 |
+
<p>The result of this is a list of Unicode character names, encoded using
|
| 170 |
+
lookalike characters again. Ultimately, this results in this list:</p>

<h2>Solution - Unimaginably Twisted Files</h2>
|
| 108 |
+
<p class="answer">by Joseph DeVincentis</p>
|
| 109 |
+
<p class="answer" id="answer_151">Answer: Click here to reveal</p>
|
| 110 |
+
</div>
|
| 111 |
+
<div class="content">
|
| 112 |
+
<p>The first step in solving this puzzle is diagnosing just what is wrong with
|
| 113 |
+
the file. Depending on your browser or text file viewer, you may be able to
|
| 114 |
+
read certain characters, but for the most part you will just see blanks or
|
| 115 |
+
replacement characters. The file begins with a UTF-8 byte order mark, but
|
| 116 |
+
the content of the file is not valid. The key is that the entire file is
|
| 117 |
+
encoded using what the UTF-8 standard calls <i>overlong sequences</i>.</p>
|
| 118 |
+
<p>UTF-8 uses a variable number of bytes to encode each character. The number
|
| 119 |
+
of bytes used depends on the numerical value of that character. Characters
|
| 120 |
+
up to 127 are encoded in a single character, making it compatible with
|
| 121 |
+
ASCII. Characters a little larger than that are encoded with two bytes,
|
| 122 |
+
using bytes in the range 128-255, where the first byte also encodes how
|
| 123 |
+
many bytes make up this character. The next range of characters is encoded
|
| 124 |
+
in three bytes, and beyond that, four bytes are used</p>
|
| 125 |
+
<p>Specifically, the way these multi-byte encodings work is as follows:</p>
|
| 126 |
+
<ul>
|
| 127 |
+
<li>110xxxxx 10xxxxxx encodes a two-byte character, where the x's
|
| 128 |
+
represent 11 bits of the character value.</li>
|
| 129 |
+
<li>1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx encodes character values up to 16 bits
|
| 130 |
+
in three bytes.</li>
|
| 131 |
+
<li>11110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx encodes character values up to
|
| 132 |
+
21 bits in four bytes.</li>
|
| 133 |
+
</ul>
|
| 134 |
+
<p>The standard goes on to define five-byte and six-byte encodings as well,
|
| 135 |
+
but subsequently a limit was placed on Unicode which makes those encodings
|
| 136 |
+
never valid. However, it is possible to use these (or the other encodings
|
| 137 |
+
above) to encode characters using more bytes than necessary. For instance,
|
| 138 |
+
you could encode an ASCII space, 00100000, as 11000000 10100000. The
|
| 139 |
+
standard declares such "overlong sequences" invalid.</p>
|
| 140 |
+
<p>The file in this puzzle is a UTF-8 text file in which many characters are
|
| 141 |
+
encoded using overlong sequences which are just one byte too long. When you
|
| 142 |
+
manage to convert it to a valid text file, you get the following:</p>
|
| 143 |
+
<img src="images/solution_chars.png"/>
|
| 144 |
+
<p>Actually, you get several repetitions of that, each using different
|
| 145 |
+
lookalike characters which (to varying degrees) resemble the letters
|
| 146 |
+
they are supposed to be. When you manage to interpret this correctly,
|
| 147 |
+
what you get is:</p>
|
| 148 |
+
<blockquote>
|
| 149 |
+
Some things are not as they seem to be. This holds true in many aspects
|
| 150 |
+
of life, as it does here. Sometimes, things are not as they seem due to
|
| 151 |
+
natural occurrences, but most often, somebody is trying to hide something.
|
| 152 |
+
For instance, people wear disguises when they want to appear as other
|
| 153 |
+
people, or simply not be recognized for who they are. You might say that
|
| 154 |
+
this text is a disguise, but it is an unusually helpful one, as by
|
| 155 |
+
reading closely, you may discover much about the nature of the true text
|
| 156 |
+
you have yet to read. "Bad, bad text," you say. You had to fix all those
|
| 157 |
+
errors. So many complaints about things being too long. Making a character
|
| 158 |
+
be the right length is nothing. Making it be too long is really something!
|
| 159 |
+
Don't go overboard, though; just one extra byte's enough. Each one of
|
| 160 |
+
us contributes just a little bit to the complete disguise, but in the
|
| 161 |
+
end it's all there. Finally, the disguise is too short, so it is repeated
|
| 162 |
+
many times over. This may help you deal with parts of the disguise you
|
| 163 |
+
can't figure out.
|
| 164 |
+
</blockquote>
|
| 165 |
+
<p>What this message is trying to tell you is that there is a hidden text
|
| 166 |
+
underlying the one you are reading. The encoding works as follows:
|
| 167 |
+
For each character encoded correctly, write a zero bit.
|
| 168 |
+
For each character encoded in an overlong sequence, write a one bit.</p>
|
| 169 |
+
<p>The result of this is a list of Unicode character names, encoded using
|
| 170 |
+
lookalike characters again. Ultimately, this results in this list:</p>
