Arrows under Avatars?

Wait so that's what this was all about? 42 and today's date (Leap Day)?

I was looking forward to another voting system.

 

[BreakGuy]

No sarcasm at all; More veneration

If we subtract 42 days from February 29, we get January the 18th. For those with good memories, January 18 was the day the SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) and PIPA (Protect IP Act) were opposed online by a "blackout".

Oh well, I guess we won't get one now? OR WILL WE?

Yah, now that we've gotten to the bottom of this imaginary secret code we can get back to the real discussion about how dodgy this voting system is.

• The product equals 20120229, also known as February 29, 2012.
• The sum equals 42.

Something was mentioned previously about Y2K38 and someone said that thinking was "in the right direction". The furthest time that can be represented as a result of the Y2K38 bug is 03:14:07 UTC on January 19, 2038.

If we subtract 42 days from February 29, 2012, we end up with January 18, 2012 - the day of the online SOPA/PIPA blackout.

I can't seem to draw any conclusions from that though.

Do you have to?

 

[BreakGuy]

Do you have to?

Can you at least tell me if I'm heading down the right road or if I've made a wrong turn?

I told myself I wasn't going to care about these little games, but now curiosity has gotten the better of me.

I fixed it for you.

 

[BreakGuy]

You left the date intact, which means it has something to do with it.

I don't think you need to worry about the other stuff. I understand that the puzzle has been solved!

So the answer is January 18?

Because 3:14am UTC January 19 is equal to 7:14pm PST January 18

I believe earlier someone said there were two different answers. I hardly believe there is any further rhyme or reason to all of this.

What do you mean by "rhyme or reason"? And what is it in reference to - my answer or the fact someone said there were two answers?

 

[-aggie-]

Of course, there's also the possibility that the numbers mean absolutely nothing and are simply designed to mess with the heads of those who like to chase "clues"! .... Nah! Couldn't be!

Maybe it's a Mac virus?

Nope.

 

[BreakGuy]

Nope.

Am I close or have I gone way off track?

You reached the goal and then failed to stop and went off the road!

Could you clean up this post of yours for me? https://forums.macrumors.com/posts/14404386/

There's incomplete BBCodes and it's confusing me.

Nevermind.

 

[balamw]

And here I thought that we were just pushing some product.

[BreakGuy]

Yes. See above ^^^

So that's it? The product and sum?

 

[Macman45]

^^

Yay!!!

Yay!!!

There's no relationship between the sum and the product?
