fcfsp – 2009-09-15 – personal website woes

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

I’m hosting my personal website on a web server directly connected to the internet with the IP address 172.29.13.5.  Why can’t anyone on the internet get to it?

Also, as an incentive to be not only nerdy but quick and nerdy, the first three people to answer this question correctly will receive a pound of our delicious roasted beans from Costa Rica we were serving last weekend.

The best answer to last week’s question is hyperkalemia (high potassium).  It could be a heart attack, but with only one lead given, the best answer would have been high potassium.

This week’s question:

What is the (nerdy) correlation of the following two numbers: 22 443

If you’re upset at the apparent non-nerdiness of last week’s question, feel free to calculate the amount of fiber in our smoothies out to 17 significant figures.  In hindsight, I should have probably asked how many grams of fiber a smoothie has.  Apologies.  The answer to the previous question is the Ray Palmer with 6.150 grams of fiber.

This week’s question is much nerdier:

How many characters of data did it take to render the following image.

The answer for last week’s question was Jeff Moss, a.k.a The Dark Tangent.  He is the founder of Defcon.

Continuing our security theme, this week’s question is:

Which of the following passwords would be the best password to use, assuming someone was trying to guess your password with only a randomized brute force attack (trying all permutations of all characters, up to the possible length of the password, in random order)?

  • leonard
  • perfectcoffee

Sorry I’m late.  I’ve had quite a cold.
