6. Telephone

1. Telephone (6 solutions)

Question:


Tips
hint
Tip 1Color matters. Especially in RGB. A RGB is different.
Tip 2Musical pause

Answer
The answer is: 13547

Since this task turned out to be the most difficult - we decided to publish the logic of its solution.
The task itself consists of two parts and two formulas.
In the first formula, we have an equation in which there are already 2 variants of color coding and we need to find the third one. There are different color coding options (in this case, the Hexadecimal and Decimal formats play.)
We search on the Internet for rgb converter or color converter and try to recode color from one format to another (from HEX to RGB Decimal), we get 3323050. At first glance, it’s not very clear what these 7 digits to use, but if you remember who was 9 years old and look at the phone on the site ...
Calling on this phone - we get into the voice menu, where in order to get to different departments you need to press a numeric button. And here we need the second part of the riddle.
TUTHOST = 8884678
Z =?

In it, using the telephone keyboard, the word is translated into numbers and you need to perform the inverse operation, to find what is Z. Z is equal to 9 on the telephone keyboard.

Well, then it was enough to call our phone number and press 9 in the voice menu. Those who want to hear the correct answer can now do it, the button is still working :)
