Hi! I'm thinking about how to solve such number sequence:
5456, 5452, 5353, 495052, 5753, 495052, 494957, 5349, 5254, 494856, ?
Can anyone help me?
Curiously, the numbers seem to be made up of two or three 2-digit numbers. These 2-digit numbers range from 49 to 57. That happens to be the range of the decimal representations of the ASCII codes for the digits 0-9.
Converting the 2-digit decimal numbers to their 1-digit ASCII characters yields:
68, 64, 55, 124, 95, 124, 119, 51, 46, 108, ?
I don't see a pattern in this. However, if ASCII codes were used once, perhaps they were used twice.
Converting these decimal numbers to their ASCII characters yields:
D, @, 7, |, _, |, w, 3, ., l, ?
That next-to-last character is a lower case L.
Does that mean anything to you?
Doesn't look like much in "1337"...we get Da Tu We.l ?
If we convert to hex we get
44 40 37 7C 5F 7C 77 33 2E 6C
I think you're right about it being something to do with key codes
Thanks guys, this one was unfamiliar to me, so I tried different ways.
