use it either all and it's 80 guards two adjacent building now i'll helping run the network this year is a guy known as video man he does a lot of the other networks for several data cons so if you had looked at the weather lately you will notice that minneapolis had a big snow storm about two days ago well so his flights were all canceled and so all the equipment that was on his that he was going to bring with him he could not so luckily enough we solved this coming and and we're able to basically go and buy a bunch of stuff on Amazon on Next Day Delivery and so we basically built this

if anyone saw but there's actually four puzzles in the program this year the first one the answer is welcome to b-sides and it's just a simple caesarean cipher it's shift so equals zero because one and so it was a class and equals K for puzzle number two the answer was I sim as Sam bard Kingdom Brunel's magic button went down the rabbit hole and it's a transposition real Finn's cipher it makes perfect five perfect V's when written out the most available is the is that the letter eyes and a zero and the next letter in is eight in the tin is based off the first year besides which is 2010 and Brunell created the steam-powered SS Great Britain so again

coming with with the steampunk theme puzzle 3d what an implement of torture I have acquired in you if you copy and place that directly in the computer they would convert directly to binary versus gibberish then you do base64 conversion dividing the remaining groups into groups of six using a base64 table this is a quote from Lord Byron a 19th century poet and about his only legitimate daughter out of Lovelace and the final puzzle is you didn't have to save my name and I'm a surgeon sort of flame but you did a gust at a king no bro Byron and it's very complicated but basically convert all the hexadecimal binary in which you convert from hex the

rest won't work then you had your full stuff from the other puzzles from puzzle to remembering the number 10 you subtract 10 from each decimal to the end and then the decimal numbers now convert to that after subtracting the rest won't work the final parts require requires converting from 6 bit date bit and from there there's a direct conversion to this and this is a steampunk song from the band steampunk seem powered giraffe so uh special thanks to avi for coming up with our puzzles this year has a new edition no prizes or anything this year we're just kind of playing with it and see how it works as teacher cherries something new we did

this year so is is you bought one of our t-shirts this year you could put a token into one of three boxes to represent charities and we had three different charities this year we had the ffs hackers for charity and girls in tech and you see eBay ffs got a little over two thousand dollars hackers for charity got almost a thousand and girls in tech raised a little over twenty three hundred so let's give a round of applause to all three of those charities and for the money raised for them so awesome including three dollars that was actually stuck in there as well so let's talk about our sponsors thanks again so much to our sponsors we would not be
