So you think you can outsmart your peers when it comes to IT security? As leading guardians of business IT, we’ve created four puzzles to test your skills. Solve them and you could win a fortnight for two in San Francisco (including a trip to Alcatraz), or a host of other great prizes.
As you play, you'll learn how we've boosted PC security at the hardware level with Intel® vPro™ and Intel® Centrino® Pro processor technologies. Now go ahead and flex those security muscles!



First, a little teaser to get you in the mood and prepare you for the mind-benders ahead. If you can’t crack this one, you’ll be struggling when the going gets really tough...



What do you get if you divide TCP by π ?

how on earth did you firgure that out

BenhamsLC

I feel really old now, have no clue as to how this works, well done everyone that knows what they are doing.

I cant figure out the data matrix one.
the data matrix decoded is a website address
http://www.intel.com/cd/business/enterprise/emea/eng/business-pc/310547.htm

but cant find the answer on that page.

I think you need to count the number of times the word "security" appears on the page.

I counted 16 on the page itself but if you run through the demo/presentation there are 24/25.

But, I have tried typing in numbers 1 to 50 and that doesn't work.

The Safe itself has two codes on it ECC200 which is the method used to decode the datamatrix.
The other is ASCII, which kind of suggests you need to encode your answer in ASCII. Ive tried that too but no joy...

Its not a very good game as its not obvious how your supposed to play it.

Just noticed the Puzzle Hints linkat the bootom of the page. Doesn't help much though.

Puzzle 1: Chart your progress.
Puzzle 2: Remember to encode your answer!
Puzzle 3: You'll find it in the source...
Puzzle 4: It's the sum of the parts we want.

Rexxy

The answer to the 3rd question 'Security Counts but how many times?' is 0011000100110111 (17 written in binary code).

Wish I hadnt started this one!

mpython

Rexxy, thanks, but 17 in binary is 10001? (your code seems to work though as I've tried binary & ascii with no luck)

mpython

Puzzle 3 is a code where the alphabet has been moved along.

The clue translates to this page
