The Deduction Network: Members

A few months have passed since we launched the network, and it’s been very interesting to see how many blogs are out there that relate to deduction, I am very pleased with the outcome of this and I think many other members are too. Below is a list of all the members. Note that the three usernames under amateur-deductions are the admins.

@amateur-deductions @somuchstufftodo @xavierwilliams @spenncerreid @thedeductionnetwork @a-study-in-sequitur @astudyinpictures @mad-hatter-of-the-mind @tinydetective21 @sherlockholmes1928 @astudyinscarlet @dr-greg-house-md @the-c0nsulting-criminal @anotherpracticingdeductionist @christhemindguy @deductionistintraining @drspencer-reid @justaboredmind @logical-thinking @seanie567 @thescienceofabduction @thescienceofdeductionsh @youngtrainingdetective

Long list, right? That’s good though. It’s nice to see a community forming within this science, it makes everything a little easier.

Talking of community, we’re planning a little experiment and for it, we’re looking for volunteers. We can’t give out details yet, but if anyone is interested in giving up maybe 10 minutes of their time to take part when we launch it, send AD or TDN an Ask and we’ll write your name down and contact you when we’re ready.

A bit late, but whatever. Everyone below is in our network, and so far, it’s been very exciting, to say the least.

TDN: Applications

Final day of “free” applications- read our original post for more information. From tomorrow onwards, we will be a bit tighter with who joins, and so if you have any thoughts about joining, just do it! You can leave easier than you can join.

We’d like to thank you all for the support of this network too, I am already enjoying talking with people who enjoy deduction and want to help teach it.

Tomorrow we will publish a list with the names of everyone who’s joined, and that’s pretty much all. To see all the posts the members make, go follow @thedeductionnetwork, a blog that reblogs everything original members post.

Any questions or thoughts feel free to let us know

The Solution

So, it’s over, and two people worked out how to do it (that I know of). The first was @the-22-unknown who messaged me just under 15 minutes ago, so congratulations and well done. The second was @act-of-kindness who didn’t directly tell me they’d solved it, but sent a message encoded in the same way that I already had.

Oh, and I have to admit to an error in the original post. There were a few letters missing from the start of the second word, but that wouldn’t have stopped you getting it right because the actual words don’t play a part in the code.

Thank you all for taking part in this, I certainly found it interesting, and I hope you did too. There is also a very important follow-up post to this one, which should get posted in a few days, at most a week.

And if you didn’t get it, below is how it was done:

LIV XX XLVIII XX XLV XX XLIV XX XLV XX XLIV XX LV XX XLIII XX LIV XX XLIX XX IVf XX IVe XX XLV XX LIV XX LVII XX IVf XX LII XX IVb

The code is in Roman numerals, but the smaller letters are part of the next step, so you have to just ignore those and translate the numerals first. This means you get something like this:

54 20 48 20 45 20 44 20 45 20 44 20 55 20 43 20 54 20 49 20 4f 20 4e 20 4e 20 45 20 54 20 57 20 4f 20 52 20 4b

If you can’t see what to do now, I’m sorry because that might have been what stumped you on the first step. Anyway, this is written in hexadecimal, I used a simple ASCII to Hex converter online to translate it. The “clue” I posted was about the hex, the case of the letters doesn’t matter at all, and I had to do lower-case so it wasn’t confusing.

When we use a Hex to ASCII translator, we get:

T H E D E D U C T I O N N E T W O R K

And we’d really like to hear your thoughts on it.
