THE DORMOUSE



Static lifts the lid to the teapot, leaning in before gasping in surprise
as a sleepy head pops out of the top of it, yawning and slowly blinking. The Dormouse smiles at him, “Good bye.”

“I’m sorry, excuse me I... was wondering if you had seen my brother earlier.” Static stammered worried.

The Dormouse tilted his head, bringing his finger to his mouth as if thinking, before lazily nodding his head, “I did.”

Gasping in surprise, Static leaned in closer, “Please… Will you tell me what happened?”

The Dormouse stalled again, zoning out for a moment, “Humm… We met and spent the whole day together.
We did a lot of fun stuff and ate good food.”

“So you’re saying he was in your sights the entire time?”

“Yes,” The Dormouse nodded.

“And he did not sneak off to do anything nefarious?”

“I’m sure of it,” The Dormouse nodded again with a sleepy expression.

Static sighed in relief, offering the man a smile, “This is incredible, thank you…
Would you be able to attend his trial and testify this to the queen?”

“I’ll rush over there…” The Dormouse yawned, slowly dipping back into his teapot.


THE FINAL CLUE...

Oh pooh, binary.

I love working with binary in a mathematics sense, but I do not know the conversions for words offhand. Sigh.

Oh no.. where is that binary translator. I don't remember!

So I think there is supposed to be 8 characters per word, right? In the third row, I counted one less, is that a typo? Or do I just have no idea what I'm doing?

There should be 8...hmm,

I'm trying to use a translator online but the best I've gotten so far is:
return to the cbæèØ

And that's only one converter, it doesn't take to the rest I've tried at all.

Parsed into 8-character blocks:
01100100 11001010 11101000 11101010 11100100
11011100 01000000 11101000 11011110 01000000
11101000 11010000 11001010 01000000 1100011
01100001 01110011 01110100 01101100 01100101

Let's see
01100100 11001010 11101000 11101010 11100100
11011100 01000000 11101000 11011110 01000000
11101000 11010000 11001010 01000000 1100011
01100001 01110011 01110100 01101100 01100101
I see three instances of 01000000 so that's probably a common letter. Maybe that's A, since it looks like the lowest number in here... If that's A then what...

@Angelus: Your answer looks like real words and everything I have done does not. I'm guessing the translator is just glitching out because of the missing character in one of those words.

Voltie — Damned Posted 6 years ago ( 2018/05/11 20:48:14 )


@Theory: Missing character? So there is a typo in the binary?

Report

Voltie — they/them Posted 6 years ago ( 2018/05/11 20:49:44 )
@Angelus: I think so... the third row has one fewer character than the others, and from what I know, the letters should be represented by 8-character blocks of numbers.

Voltie — Damned Posted 6 years ago ( 2018/05/11 20:50:03 )


@Theory: Interesting. I noticed you mentioning that binary should be broken up in to strings of 8. I tried that in the same translator that got me real words and it gets the same thing but a different jumble for the last word,

return to the ÆÅÍѱ

Guess I've done all I can then. I can't identify the error.

If Angelus' answer is partially right, then here's what the letters correspond to:
01100100 11001010 11101000 11101010 11100100
R E T U R
11011100 01000000 11101000 11011110 01000000
N _ T O _
11101000 11010000 11001010 01000000 1100011
T H E _ ?
01100001 01110011 01110100 01101100 01100101
? ? ? ? ?

So the 01000000 I noticed was common is actually the space!

01110010 01100101 01110100 01110101 01110010 01101110 00100000 01110100 01101111 00100000 0110100 01101000 01100101 00100000
01100011 01100001 01110011 01110100 01101100 01100101
So that would be...
"Return to ?he castle"
Return to the castle

So the error is in "t" which is written as 0110100 when it should be written as 01110100. It was missing a 1

Because no binary starts with "11", it always starts with a 0, so i shifted to find the mistake accordingly

@Dipper: So then the jumble in my first translation which I'd gotten before I noticed Theory mention breaking it up into strings of 8, was the closer translation.

It said this was the final puzzle. Is that of the round or the chapter?
