fuck off with your /b/tarded pseudohacker faggotry

convert it to hex and see if words fall out.

This sounds like a troll trying to waste your time.

It says:

What this guy said.

Also, this all seems to be a bit pretentious to actually be profitable. But if you really want to get into it, just google "binary translator" then type in exactly what is on this image. From there, try and solve the puzzle, if there is one. I, for one, can be arsed to go out and find this shit out, but if you have the patience to type all of those zeros and ones, translate it here and we'll see what can be done.

Also, you MUST be precise in transcribing it. One zero that should have been a one or vise versa can fuck up the translation altogether. If you miss a number completely, then the entire code will be off and you'll have fucked yourself over.

You must be INCREDIBLY precise with this. Hence me not really giving two shits about it.

There's no math. Just translate the bytes to ASCII characters.

664590.11 - 993230.84 seems to be some sort of location.
is it coordinates?

>>2018153

latitude and longitude. Google Earth.

>>2018153
11.095466, 48.032399
In Somalia near the coast. Doesn't look like much there.

>>2018165
Maybe, but it won't be on Earth. Possibly an astrological coordinate?

>Find the artist of the following illustration.
Possibly a constellation of some sort?

>>2018180
Try it the other way round?
Or is that ridiculous.

>>2018165
>>2018165
>>2018180
>>2018180
so now what?

>>2018180
This actually seems much more feasible.

>>2018180
Or you could invert that once more.

48.032399, 11.095466 Anything of interest here?

>>2018185
Inversion seems to fit this

>>2018187
Davinci.

>>2018180
There is a hyphen in the text. I assume this means one coordinate or the other is negative.

48.032399 N, 11.095466 E

>>2018199
>>2018199
yep yep yep

Well that was easy. What now.

WHat does Location A have to do with anything.

Damn!
That was so easy, or you guys are fuckin smart!
I would have never gotten that!

Is anyone a member yet?

>>2018092
my face when the answer to the picture is pi

why would you want to join OAB anyway, just watch and enjoy the joke

But wait how does one decode the binary? You just used an online applet? Thats kinda cheating...

>>2018239


Okay, then do it by hand and come up with the same fucking result.

Go ahead waste your time.

The picture has the date 5/19/13.

The organization also has the name of OAB eta.

Considering that last part, does that date coincide with an important event within the organization?

>>2018248
Expect us.

>>2018239
You're an idiot. It's just ASCII, bro.

>>2018255

What we copy today, Echoes to the print tray

The OAB is an experiment to see how many people would follow a set track to become members of an elite group. It doesn't matter what answer you give, as long as you reply you become a statistic.

Really surprised you guys didn't see this coming. By the way the date is just the "we do not forget" date.

>>2018255
am I allowed to post the poster, or only high level can do that?

This is the worst way to find people to join an origination. I can already tell you that everyone involved will be fucktarded.

You don't make one generic puzzle and require everyone to do it. You especially don't publish it on the internet, because then anyone can just ask some random forum.

Dumb ass faggots

>>2018275
Also, it was a fucking easy puzzle.

>>2018264
Yeah no kidding. Sending this message on bills and coins? What the hell is this? I couldn't care one way or the other about "spreading the word" because it's shit no one cares about. Your average joe isn't going to care about some stupid riddle they find on a bill or whatever. Go do your own dirty work as far as I am concerned. Unless you have any more riddles to solve, I think I'll just sit back and ride the tubes a bit more.

>>2018282
They probably thought of something especially easy, just to make whoever could solve it feel smart.

I bet getting into some nigger gang is more difficult

>>2018275
>>2018282
>>2018142
>>2018146
All of these.


This stupid shit is /i/ related. It's a massive trolling attempt to write down a date, and then adding 'expect us', in order to scare the public.

Did I mention it's retarded?

ITT: a bunch of nigger annons

hey guys i found their flyer
with a different puzzle this time
this one seems harder

>>2018323
how are you suppose to beta the Apocalypse

>you already know exactly what to do

wow /b/, wow.

look at the date on the bill
>mfw

>>2018388
>>2018388
lol... you dont seem to know chess
that puts you in check

Wtf is the OAB?

Also, did anyone figure out the answer anyways?

>>2018411
The first answer id DaVinci.

its a bunch of /b/tards hyping up pure hype

>>2018323

Don't think mate in one is possible for white unless it's a trick question in which you mate yourself in one move which is an illegal move anyway.

>>2018323
Are you serious?

Rook from f7-d7

>>2018612
Puts you in check.
The correct answer is an en passe

>>2018619

>in checkmate

fixed

>>2018619
Ah, I didnt even see that bishop.

But how is it En Passant?

That requires multiple moves to happen and its a reactionary move.

>>2018701
Puts you into check

>>2018709
Shit, didnt see that. Been awhile since I played chess.

>>2018732
lol, that's not how en passant works. try b5xc6.

>>2018732

>>2018816
>>2018323
Correct. The trick is that in the position, black's last move had to be c7-c5, allowing en passant. All other possible previous moves either come from illegal positions or from positions which can't be reached legally. This is a common type of retrograde analysis chess problem, as are found in Raymond Smullyan's logic puzzle books.

>>2018092
Who would want to join that shitty club?

I'm willing to bet that this is a hurr durr attempt at a social experiment at best, and a really good troll at worst. In this manner, the only way to win, is not to play.
>Starts out with Greetings fellow anon and fellow lurkers out there
this is targeted toward any image board, by proxy is infested with hurr. Once the answer, if there is even one, is posted, over 9000 attempts to contact this non-existent group will occur, good trolling already at this point

> higher levels of OAB as a fully fledged member of what will become the greatest social experiment on a global scale

again, if anything, this is a test to see how the hive mind of the image boards operates at best, at worst, lolitrollu

> ranks of the enigmatic OAB collective.

note it promises nothing, note it advertises itself using enigmatic as a way to suck people in because one might assume enigmatic=exclusive, simulating demand.

>But- before doing so, you must decode and solve this puzzle, as a measure of your intellegence, thinking skills, and your ability to work with other strangers.

So if I play fair or, in a image board's case, lurk, I can get the answer and gain entrance into this enigmatic group? Just because you can work well with others dose not mean your worth shit. That is why interns always get the coffee

>Start using your intellect and solve it!

But what about my awesome 1337 lurker skillz and/or group skillz?

>The answer lies within. Do not contact us without it

Obscure hint (that might require enhancing the image in a way that you see it within a letter or something) or red hearing, personally I'd go for the latter

to be continued

>An opportunity like this is rare and unprecedented, The message will be everywhere, everyone will wonder, nobody will know, expect us.

Again, artificial hype for a group that we know nothing about right off the bat, as for a message being everywhere, first time I have ever seen it is right here, right now. No where else after seeing this pic on 4chan, have I seen it. As for wondering, this creates a "Hurr, they are wetodded and we are smart!" 'They' being the layman on 4chan, I grantee you, the most the layman will do is ignore this. and finally "Expect us". Jesus grow the fuck up, Expect us died along with the chanology bullshit.


Again 2 possible senarios
1. Social experimental with the image boards to test and if possible, track the communication and though exchange it takes to generate ideas, solve puzzles, and the opportunists that will try to get in ahead within this "enigmatic organization"

2. LOL I TROLL YOU

TL;DR Social experiments with the applicants or I troll you

c4 x c5

Stale mate, black has no moves.

Whats actually going on:

A bunch of bored /b/tards want to start another Y2K

You are now one step closer to joining OAB. But to do so, first solve this mystery.
Noitacol A.
Find the artist of the following illustration.
We hide secrets in inversion.
Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.
664590.11 - 993230.84

Became uninterested at their use of binary, so clever.
Also became even less interested at gladiator quote at the bottom of the page.

I don't appreciate using that kind of language.

>>2019040
HURR?

-googles OAB-
"Overactive Bladder (OAB)"
I'm guessing this is a secret group of people with OAB trying to make themselves feel important.

Got e-mail off them, cba:

"Thank you for your interest in OAB. Before we move further we must
inform you that this is not another silly typical uncoordinated
operation you find in 4chan. This is not a bunch of kids organizing to
get some lulz on the internet. OAB is quite legit. It is a highly
organized and efficient collective with the aim of creating total
global awareness of the message.

What you must understand is that the goal is not the only reason OAB
exists. To some degree we are all do it because we are interested in
some aspect of this project, be it the sociological and psychological
effect on the world, or simply for the lulz. But in time OAB will be
more than just this. Join not just for the lulz and curiosity, but for
the experience; for the experience of working together with a vast
group of highly intelligent and productive people from all over the
world, for networking and building strong connections and friendships;
for the experience of working and being part of an intricate
collective/organization.
cont...

>>2020911
You can think of OAB as a sort of brotherhood, a part of the hive
mind; as the ultimate nexus of information and knowledge. Once a
full-fledged member you are a member for life. You will be in
possession of information only OAB members will know.

To gain access into OAB however, you must first pass the admissions
test. The test requires you to post the message on coins, bills,
graffiti it on walls or whatever other medium. Take pictures of the
payload RAR them and send them to this email. You have no longer than
30 hours to get as many pictures as you can. If you are admitted you
will receive further information and procedures to getting membership
to OAB.

Good luck anon.
