  • kavery, on 10/12/2007, -2/+79Strangely enough, it's the only mathematical puzzle I've seen today and is the winner by default.
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+62HEY RIAA / MPAA:

    cant touch this

  • DeskFlyer, on 10/12/2007, -2/+39You are cleared for takeoff.
  • mrASSMAN, on 10/12/2007, -3/+26I don't know, I think I like this riddle better: http://digg.com/tech_news/DIGG_What_s_Happening_with_HD_DVD_Stories#c6444782

    COPY/PASTE:

    First off, Kevin, a few questions:

    What is a nought less a nought? How many baseball players from each team are on the field? What is the first letter of English's most popular and versatile profane word? What was the answer to that baseball question again? If your dial only goes up to ten, where are you going to go from there? What was the answer to the first question again? Making the V sign involves how many upraised fingers? How many lives are cats reputed to have? What is my letter grade if I have done very poorly, but not failed? What was the name of that movie where the killer killed to exemplify the deadly sins? What does one call out before striking a golf ball? What letter would an M resemble if you rotated it ninety degrees counter-clockwise? How many wishes to Djinnis traditionally grant? How many fingers do you have on each hand, if you are an uninjured person? Which letter grade is second best? What is the fourth letter of the alphabet? What do you get if you double the number four? What number was I just asking about? What is the first number to be counted if one does not count zero? How many fingers does a chimpanzee have on each hand, if he or she is an uninjured chimp? What is the sum of the previous answer and one? Which letter of the alphabet sounds most like the word "sea"? How many moderator points are in each batch offered to Slashdot users? What is the sum of the previous answer plus one? How many strikes before one is out? Which number follows four in sequence? What is the sum of the previous answer plus one? Which number looks like zero wearing a tight belt? What was that number again? Which letter falls between B and D in the English alphabet? Which number is frequently confused for the letter O?

    The answers may surprise you.
  • nnoob, on 10/12/2007, -3/+21***** the mpaa
  • TheCod, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16I wish that I could give you a golden digg.
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15Isn't it a remarkable coincidence that the answers to the riddle are the same as the HD-DVD key?
  • irie, on 10/12/2007, -4/+17Long time digger here - diggicide if I 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 this???
  • kavery, on 10/12/2007, -5/+18This is why I'm hot. You ain't 'cause you're not.
  • kelrodjr, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14First rule of 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 is:
    you do not talk about 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0.

    Second rule of 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 is:
    YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0!
  • animo47, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12aren't those nines supposed to be niners?
  • nreynolds, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10yeah you should probably explain that...

    SUCK IT MPAA
  • Fighterspj, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7You know for a second there it thought that this wasn't going to be about 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0

    Oh well...
  • Askee, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5I see what you did there...
  • Ocelot13, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3PERFECT!!!
  • floorman56, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I thought Digg couldn't be hacked /gamed

    The Number of hex story's on the front page now prove Digg can be.
  • Ransomowris, on 10/12/2007, -15/+17Brilliant

    oh, and 09-f9-11-02-9d-74-e3-5b-d8-41-56-c5-63
  • vagarach, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2It would be very difficult to somehow 'persuade' all the digg users to do what is being done now. There has to be a personal motivation, and so it is really, really difficult for a single entity to try and engineer this result.
  • samk, on 10/12/2007, -12/+14Enough! This is lame. The code is public. There's no need to spam Digg just to prove that you can.
  • s73ve, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The Best song you will hear all day http://thecodesong.ytmnd.com/

  • g00dETH3R, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Google shows
    Results 1 - 10 of about 282,000 for 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0.
  • bigbchew, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Digg's censorship has been evident for quite a few months:

    http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/march2007/020307burybrigade.htm

    -It's interesting that this has finally come out just over some encryption code.
  • theonedigg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Just logged in today, just now for the first time and Wow! There a lot of stuff happening today. This post was perhaps the most ingenious. rotfl.
  • knomevol, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1digguh, please
  • diggometer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Will people start to print this number on T-shirts?
  • Urusai, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Somebody put dog ***** in my peanut butter!
  • EochaidRiata, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3One of the best examples of how absurd it is to claim ownership over a short string of hex digits.

    Now we just need to find where this string is located in the hex representation of pi.

  • Remccs, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2can somebody tell me what these mean, seriously, i want to get it, and i dont... please

    -jake
  • foolfromhell, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2"I'm sure the RIAA will come after digg for posting the AACS decryption code..."
    Exactly. The RIAA wont be miffed.
    The MPAA will.
  • djhworld, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Hahahaha this made me laugh.

    Good one.
  • mstrike, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I think I'm banned.
  • JimDinger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Heya smart ass its the MPAA. kthx.
  • jimmast1, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2The best is The Pirate Bay who posts it in bold on their front page.
  • unity2k, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2This is one of the funniest moments I have ever seen online, just brilliance.
  • SirTezzy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1http://www.terreh.net/images/*****.jpg

    I believe in my right to intellectual property.
  • LegendaryFrog, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Good show open source supporters. Good show...
  • dotlizard, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3i love what's happening here today. fast as they can censor us, we come right back at 'em.

    power to the diggers!
  • DiggzDE, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2I haven't been digging the other ***** simply because it is just retarded to get so worked up over a ***** HD-DVD key. Finding that ***** out by googling it is what Google is there for. It wasn't the first time Digg has censored something.

    But I give you credit for posting something original and thus dig you up. haha

    Funny *****.
