Sitting Ducks
Discovery
April 28, 2008
A note from the San Francisco safe at Whysoserious.com/itsallpartoftheplan led to Whysoserious.com/sittingducks.
Game
The site is a three-row duck-shooting game where clicking on the passing blue and yellow ducks causes them to fall backwards.
Solution
The ducks represent binary code, with blue ducks being 1 and yellow ducks 0.
The first row says:
0 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0

The 3rd row tells in which order to shoot the ducks on row two:
0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1
