AI Thread Summary
The Binary puzzle in World of Warcraft involves solving a sequence of 10 levers, each with 9 possible positions, with a community effort currently underway. The provided binary code does not yield meaningful ASCII text upon direct conversion, leading to speculation about its structure and potential hidden messages. The long binary strings show similarities, suggesting they may represent words or letters when grouped appropriately. Previous riddles in the game have varied across different language versions, indicating that the solution may also differ by language. Players are encouraged to leverage their knowledge of WoW to identify relevant names or locations that might fit the observed patterns.

Hi there. There is currently a Binary puzzle being solved in the game Word Of Warcraft. In the puzzle, there are 10 levers which can each be placed in 9 different positions 1-9. So for example, the solution may be 1459275918. So far the community is stumped. The code given is below, I would appreciate any suggestions!

180 is 10110100 in binary.
+1111111111 has 10 "1", corresponding to the number of switches.

Direct conversion to ascii leads to gibberish.

The long strings agree in most of their digits:
011010111001011010010110
011010010110100111010110
101101010010101110010110

Looking up 11873174, I found some more context:
- the previous riddle was an anagram, and it was completely different in different language versions
- the numbers are different for different language versions. Here is an overview. English, Russian and French are identical, German, Spanish and Italian begin identical but then deviate. Chinese is different.

Apparently we are looking for something that translates to text. The long strings could separate words., and the 8+5 combinations could be individual letters. 180 and +1111111111 are the same in all versions.

At this point, it looks like we would need WoW knowledge. Are there suitable names for monsters or locations that fit to the patterns seen in the language versions?
 
How about taking each group of 8 bits and convert each byte to its equivalent ASCII letter. There might be a phrase or message with the sequence along with the bits that are not eight bits wide
 
See above: Direct conversion to ascii leads to gibberish. Most of the bytes are not even letters in ascii.

Thread 'Video on imaginary numbers and some queries'

Hi, I was watching the following video. I found some points confusing. Could you please help me to understand the gaps? Thanks, in advance! Question 1: Around 4:22, the video says the following. So for those mathematicians, negative numbers didn't exist. You could subtract, that is find the difference between two positive quantities, but you couldn't have a negative answer or negative coefficients. Mathematicians were so averse to negative numbers that there was no single quadratic...

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...

Thread 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'

Thread 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'

Here I made a terrible mistake of assuming this to be an equilateral triangle and set 2sinx=1 => x=pi/6. Although this did derive the double angle formulas it also led into a terrible mess trying to find all the combinations of sides. I must have been tired and just assumed 6x=180 and 2sinx=1. By that time, I was so mindset that I nearly scolded a person for even saying 90-x. I wonder if this is a case of biased observation that seeks to dis credit me like Jesus of Nazareth since in reality...
