Descent of the Durtle into eGoooott - NOW AT B8!

This sentence, it bothers me for some reasson. It’s telling us to do like our Review pile do? or to do what we do when we face our Review pile? and if so, what do we do then?

Just throwing out there, I don’t think it has to do with sequencing or rearranging the pairs. The question is what is common about each of the nine pairs, which I would interpret as inherent of each one as opposed to having to rely on the others to be defined.

Kinda wondering if “make like your review pile and don’t panic” is just an H2G2 reference and nothing else. What your review pile does is that it stops at 42+.

An interesting question is why ac is the only hint without a number. That has less in common with the rest of them due to that fact, and perhaps focusing on the difference would help us find what they have in common.

They’re all hexadecimal numbers.

They’re all hexadecimal numbers that contain either an A or a B.

Ac stands for air condition, are there air 2? :thinking:

I thought of that too, many of them make words, either forwards or backward.
Before, Benign, AC,
But not sure how you get a 7 in there.

Can someone explain what relationship hexdex has to AC?

What do you mean by hexdex?

Ac is a normal hex number like 9b and all the others :thinking:

This is making my head hurt.

The counting in hex goes
…A8, A9, AA, AB, AC…

AC is a number just like 12 or 4E. The digits are 0-9 then A-F before 0 again.

Should we try and convert them all to their hexdec numeric value and do something with that then?

There u go

172 183 180

155 181 160

176 177 161

And those would be the related ascii symbols
